A Sweet Poppy tease .......

Happy Bank Holiday Monday (what's left of it!) .......

I hope you've had a good one. The long weekend has flown by here ....... and the week ahead isn't going to slow down any!

I've got a little sneaky peek of a few samples that are on their way to the lovely Lucy at Sweet Poppy Stencils ......

Make a note in your diary ...... because Lucy is back on the telly!
When? .......Thursday 1st June
Where? ....... HOCHANDA (Sky 663/Freeview 85/Freesat 817)
What time? ......... 7am (an early start!) and again at 11am

As always there'll be new designs, some back in stocks and lots of fabulous tips and techniques from the lady herself.

Beautiful classic designs ......

Pretty, detailed stencils for all year round ......

And stunning images for any occasion .......

Set your reminders (and maybe the alarm clock!!), or record the shows, you won't want to miss them!

It's going to be a busy week ..... beginning of a new month coming up, all those monthly challenges to get underway, and there's a new one launching too ... watch this space!

Other news ...... the 2017 Isle of Man TT is underway ..... and typically the weather has taken a turn for the worse.  Not that it will damped the TT spirit I'm sure but, it has put a stop to the practice/qualifying races ....... again ....... that were planned for this evening.

Rain or not, our little rock in the middle of the Irish Sea is filling up nicely with motorbikes and riders and fans of this 37 mile plus, gruelling Mountain course. There's a definite buzz in the air .... we love it!
We've already been sampling the atmosphere, the food, the entertainment ...... and the beer tent! down at the Grandstand.  Well ..... seeing as that's where Chris is going to be spending most of his time for the next two weeks because he's running the place, we thought we should show our support.  At least the sun shone on the opening day (Sunday) ..... it was glorious.

Well that's it from me today ...... thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week.

Cheerio until next time
