What's on my workdesk today ......

Kikki says " I am really bored waiting for you to finish that apron"
 Yes but look what i've achieved Kikki, free machine embroidery at last
and some bullion knots.  I've quite impressed myself.
I am getting there.  Next week should see it finished.

If you are as bored as Kikki nip over and have a look at some more desks.
or have a look at what my tutor has been making.

  6. Hi Lynn, I have no idea what a bullion knot is (maybe like a French knot?) but love the look of them. Your apron is coming along a treat, can't wait to see the finished article - maybe when we meet next week.......... Happy WOYWW, Anne x #23

  11. Certainly never bored with your blog but glad Kikki was as it is a wonderful photograph.
    Very impressing sewing, I am well impressed. I bought a book on machine embroidery the other day (Amazon or Ebay, can't remember now) and it is full of projects. Will take me years to go through it but hopefully will learn a lot.
    Off to Tod on Friday, thanks for the link to your blog pages.
    Hugs, Neet 16 xx

    1. Hope you have a good day. Have a coffee at the cafe facing the hardware stall on the inside market, he makes his own cakes. Good food too. Xx

  13. Morning Lynn, I am never bored with Kiki or your beautiful apron. I keep saying it but i am loving following your journey with it. I used to do a lot of sewing but not much anymore, I still have my machine though.I've never done bullion knots but recognise the more blanket type stitch. Love the flower with the soft edges. I am not taking part in WOYWW today but have a great day. Hugs Mo x

  17. your poor little dog is giving you the look my two give me when I am crafting and not paying attention to them, you just have to love them.
    That apron is really taking shape it is so pretty I can't wait to see the finished one. Will you make more of them after finishing this one?
    Really amazing work
    Happy WOYWW

  20. Isn't it nice to have that spacious work table to lay out your beautiful apron work? Your free machine embroidery is amazing!! Me want to do that too!!! Now, about KIKKI and Joseph--believe it or not, Joseph loves dogs, and in fact, thinks he is a dog. He wags his tail, trots sometimes, and can bark. No lie. When my momma brings over her chihuahua, Joseph tries to pet him, and can't quit staring at him! He likes to visit my neighbors little dogs in the backyard too! Thanks so much for keeping us up on your progress! Hugs and happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #20

  28. Us crafters are always to busy to be bored, aren't we Julia. A few more hours in the day would be good though.

  29. I think it looks for too good to be a pinny, frame it and hang it on the wall instead! Tracy #69

  32. Now that's an apron that should be on the wall but should never, nay never, have spag bol stains on it! It's fantastic and should be made into printed versions for sale!
    Kiki could always have a mini one or a bandana to match, eh?
    love jo x
