WHAT'S ON MY WORKDESK TODAY.......

 

  THE POSTMAN BROUGHT ME AN ENVELOPE FULL OF GOODIES FROM BLOG FRIEND CAROLYN SAXBY, FULL OF BITS AND PIECES TO BE CREATIVE WITH. ALSO A LOVELY CARD WITH A PIECE OF HER WORK ON.  YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE PIC BELOW UNDER "DEAR LYNN".
TO SEE MORE OF CAROLYN'S CREATIONS LINK ACROSS HERE WWW.CAROLYNSAXBY.CO.UK
 THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SCRAPBOOK IVE MADE OUT OF THE INSIDE OF USED ENVELOPE FOR THE "21 SECRETS" ART COURSE I AM WORKING ON.  I HAVE ADDED A PIECE OF MACHINE EMBROIDERY SAMPLE STITCHING, A BLACK & WHITE PHOTO CAROLYN PUT IN MY CREATIVE PACK.  I HAVE ADDED SOME RED STITCHES TO IT.  AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN SEE A KENSITAS SILK, THESE ARE LITTLE SILK EMBROIDERIES THAT CAME IN KENSITAS CIGARETTE PACKETS IN THE 1930'S.

MY GOOD FRIEND SUSAN MADE THIS BEAUTIFUL NEEDLECASE AND I WON IT IN OUR CRAFT GROUP RAFFLE.  LUCKY ME !
I AM STILL MERRILY STITCHING AWAY ON MY EMBROIDERY COURSE. MORE OF THAT NEXT WEEK.
NOW HAVE A LOOK WHAT SORT OF THING OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING AT THEIR DESKS

  15. Hi Lyn, I am late around the desks today, and as usual there is loads of lovely things to look at on your post. The used envelope scrapbook had me fooled for a minute as I thought it was fabric from the photo untill I took a closer look. Those Scottie dogs are really cute and what lovely goodies you received from Carolyn, I tried the link but it wont open for me so I will try again later. Your embroidery is amazing, I dont think I could do something so delicate. Hugs Mo x #35
