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
WOW that's some brilliant decorating. BJ was #4, then #16, finally #17 but could end up as #15 if my incorrect links are removed - what am I like!

Love the decorating, make for a wonderful whimsy wall. We have much cooler weather now so its more comfortable which is a godsend, its been a hot horrid summer this year

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.
ReplyDeleteBacup 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)
I am loving your room - what a fab idea painting directly on to the walls. Your stitched ladies are so lovely and look gorgeous collected around the wall like that - you stylish lady!
ReplyDeleteI want to sit in your studio, curled up with a cup of tea, and watch you make your lovely treasures. sigh. The new cabinet is... I want it!! xx
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn, you've been so busy, the cabinet looks fab and your artwork is beautiful xxx
