DAY OUT.......

Stopped off at my friend Ruth's..... lovely flowers on her garden wall.
My antique centre basket buy to hold my sewing things in when I am sat watching tv.
Pink lace bought to put with my pink embroidered scrim.
Fabric and trims bought at Minerva Crafts, Darwen, Lancashire www.minervacrafts.com 
Threads from Minerva Crafts.
Two photographs of buses bought at Holden Wood Antique Centre.  We had a lovely lunch there too.http://www.holdenwood.co.uk/ 
They are for a wee man in Scotland who has a fetish for buses.
Lovely day out, sun was shining and good company.

         Three year old Jacob excitedly waiting to see the dentist. 

                                

                                       Strange boy he loves it and wanted the full works.  

                                       Looks like we have a budding dentist in the family.

LACE & LINEN

 Hospice Charity Shop finds

Have you guessed they are bra's that I have cut up.

Won't they make fantastic pieces for lace work.

No I didnt pay what it said on the tag for these two lovely linen clothes.  Someone must have had a senior moment it should have said 50p.

What's on my workdesk today....

 First up is this beautifully made ATC from Annie at wipso-a stitch in time

Even though I couldnt join in this year she wanted to send me one.

 

Ive finished my scrim cloth.  You can see more about it and what its doing now on my stitch blog

www.lynnhollandinstitch.blogspot.co.uk 

So what's on the desk next I wonder ? Could it be this more scrim work.

or finishing this

or even doing some more in this

There is also this to consider, its waiting to be either a bag or a wallhanging.

Ive not even mentioned this art class

FOCUS ON LIFE - WK 21 REMINISCE

 I am joining in the  FOCUS ON LIFE 2013 CHALLENGE. Its something I came across which is run by The Studio Sublime - Wearable Art, Photography & Journaling.

 www.thestudiosublime.com

The object is to capture a photo image with the prompt for the week in mind.

 

The prompt word was REMINISCE.

I have added this picture of china on the welsh dresser in my kitchen.  The white and gold set belonged to my nana and so memories of Sunday tea came flooding back.

 Brown bread reminds me also of being at my grandparents.  Opening the pantry door I would breath in the warm homely smell of fresh bread and baking.

Amazingly I have covered next weeks prompt word "FOODIE".

I think I need to link into other people's pictures now. 

So here you go

LOOK WHAT POSTMAN JOHN BROUGHT ME .....

 Before Postman John went off on his two week holiday in the sun he brought me these lovely packages.

 These lovely buttons came from Diana of Velvet Moth Studio after I sent her an article I had seen in a magazine that I thought would interest her.

 www.velvetmothstudio.blogspot.co.uk

  Then my lovely friend Mo in Scotland, Mo's Flickr site, sent me a crotchet doily to include in my embroidery work.  Look at the great tape on the envelope and this fabulous handmade card.

Have a look here to see what I did with the butterfly and a piece of the doily.

I  have to show you this bundle of trims I got from the indoor market in Rochdale, Lancashire.

The town gets a lot of flak for being its lack of shops and market stalls but I have to say anyone who wants haberdashery make straight for this stall.
