What's on my workdesk today

I don't know where to start telling you what I've been upto since last week but if you have a look back to yesterdays postings you will get the gist of what a fabulous time I've had and its all led to what's going on today.
I'm decorating my workroom because I've got a lovely new cabinet
and I've moved things around
 
So I decided to put up my Ruth Zanoni Roskell stitched ladies
and I have drawn frames around some of them.
 You see this one. Ruth sent me this for my 60th birthday last August.
It's me. I love it.
Here's some of the others on my wall of stitched ladies
  Ruth lives in Lancaster and is prolific with her stitching.
 Her work can be found in a local gallery to me Cloud Nine at Bacup Lancashire.
 I did manage to make this little brooch in between 
daubing paint on the walls Banksy style.
Hope you have all as as good a week as me.
Next trip out is Vintage Weekend at York Racecourse.
But first up is some deskhopping over at Mrs D's place

  19. What a fab idea to use the walls for artwork in this way. Love the idea of the frames you have given to your pictures - great and the one of you is a treasure.
    Bacup holds so many memories of happy times when I was a child and went to school there.
    Hugs, Neet xx (thanks for visiting me yesterday - I was out most of the day so just on here now)
