Nothing on my desk as I am busy revamping my bedroom ready for my new crotchet blanket which will be the same as the cushion. The very talented Helen of http://helencrochet1.wordpress.com is hard at work finishing it off.
The picture is batik with fabric appliqued and embroidered and is by friend and textile artitst Barbara Jepson - www.barbarajepson.com

I've moved all my junk shop finds around.
Rearranged artwork. As you can see we have a lot.
Do you like my sepia wall ? The lady top right is my Mum. The couple at the bottom are my hubbies parents. The picture of the two girls is by Hornel one of the Glasgow Boys and i've had it about 30 years. I got it at an antique fair. The other pictures are from my days out at Todmorden secondhand market.
I will show you the finished room when my blanket arrives.
For now I wish you all a happy Christmas and thanks for popping by.
Have a look at some of the desks Julia features every week at
Some lovely bits and pieces. I am so going to check out the Lady that made the Lamp. Thanks for sharing

Heather uses vintage fabrics to make her cushions and lampshades. I will be seeing her again in March at the Antique Textiles Fair in Manchester at Fallowfield
DeleteThanks so much for the mention Lynn. Hope you have a lovely Christmas x

the cushion is fab, but I love the painting behind it! Happy Christmas, Helen #3
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting Barbara's work for over 10 years and have 10 pieces. They are stunning, people think they are paintings and are amazed when they look close up and see they are fabric. Happy Christmas to you Helen x
DeleteWhat beautiful artwork.

I love old photographs so what a treat to see your sepia wall - beautiful. I have one tucked away in the attic of my Dad as a baby - he is wearing a dress. It was a victorian thing to dress all babies in dresses, boys as well until they were 2 and were ready for breeching, he was born in 1908.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year.

The room is looking good and the blanket will certainly finish it off perfectly. I'm now on my 6th blanket since March... all made in "waste" time! I'm so pleased that my DDs really treasure them.
ReplyDeleteGreat to get to know you too Lynne and hope we can get together again in 2013.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Love Jo x
Such beautiful items to have in your home and the matching blanket will make it look stunning. Have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteYour room is looking great! I do love your sepia wall - what a lovely photo of your mom and your husband's parents. I've been busy tidying up my entire place to try to sell it. Oh my, it's been a chore!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope 2013 is a wonderful year for you and the doodly birds!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteLovely..I'm told we have 'a lot' of pictures on walls, from which I take it that the commenter thinks its too many, but I love being surrounded by art and people! Your lovely new blanket will have a big impact huh! Happy Christmas!
