Noteworthy

Yesterday was our monthly Papermaze crop at Otley Village Hall. This time we had extended hours - 10am to 7pm to help raise funds for the hall roof. Instead of one, there were three layout kits available to purchase. Here is the second of those, designed by the lovely Esther. 

My mother photographed by my father, half way up Snowdon, on their honeymoon in 1957. You don't see many women dressed like this to climb a mountain 68 years on!

American Crafts - Maggie Holmes - Pretty Picnic collection - #1, #2 & #3
50cm yellow stranded thread
3 wooden hearts
1 flower
