Found this dish in a charity shop. It goes with my revamped linen cloth.

It's tougher than any wooden one Bridget. It's from Ikea.
DeleteI'm doing a quick blog dash before I get started this morning cos we have another estate agent coming today to take pics of our house so it needs a final hoover and tidy through :-)

ReplyDeleteYour doing lovely things with the embroidery Lynn. It's a shame people don't really want these old bowl anymore as i still like them. Good charity shop find. jill #37
ReplyDeleteWonderful things as usual Lynn. So classy! :0) Happy WOYWW :0) xx
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn, your cards and embroidery work are absolutely stunning! You really have been a busy bee since I last saw you - gorgeous work. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #53
ReplyDeleteOh the scrim is amazing - a whole new art form! Love the cards, golly Kraft card could have been invented to act as a foil for your works!
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia
DeleteGreat minds, Lynn - I've put embroidery on hold for a short while and made a handful of cards with my lacy/fabric/scrim bits, as I have a lot of birthdays coming up shortly. I love yours - did you actually get the sewing machine to sew through the background card or is that white pen? I'm not sure my machine would cope! What a perfect match that bowl is with your altered linen cloth - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes I went straight through the card Diana
DeleteGosh your sewing techniques know no bounds. Fab!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx 2
Wow! Love the hanging and so clever to use the scrim like that. Back on WOYWW after a break and visiting a few of my favourite desks.

Hi there Lynn,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! The dish you found at the charity shop is striking - and goes so well with your piece!
Thanks for stopping by! I enjoyed knitting the purse and will be making some more, the next one will have a flat bottom though.

Gorgeous- who'd have thought something so pretty & delicate could be made from that? have a great week, hugs Shaz #125 xx
ReplyDeleteJust followed a link from a WOYWW post glad i came by to see your lovely work x
ReplyDeleteHonestly Ladybug, I can't imagine you creating anything any more perfect. I love everything you make. Your attention to detail and eye for design is amazing. Happy Wednesday! SueC#129
ReplyDeleteThat's incredible, I can't believe a machine can do that. Is it a normal sewing machine or something special to do that? Whatever it is, you did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

It's just a normal sewing machine Von, nothing special. I've got a great teacher showing me how to free motion embroidery
DeleteHi Lynn, still ploughing my way around the desks, sorry i'm late to yours. I love your cards, they are very touchy feely if you know what I mean, and your charity shop find goes perfect with your linen cloth. The texture in your embroidered builders scrim is lovely, I wonder what builders do with scrim? Your blog, desk, studio always seems like an area of calm in this mad crafty world. Hugs Mo x #60
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Lynn. Great fun working on scrim. Never know how each piece will turn out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
