WOYWW........ Images & Words

Carrying on with my images and words 

book I’m now adding the poems of the 

late inspirational Mary Oliver.

I’ve added her words to my images 

Don’t you just love this one.

Mary didn’t mean this to be any great feat.

She applied it to being out in nature 

and all there is to see there.

There’s time for some desk hopping over at Julia’s place 

today as the weather is atrocious, so I won’t be going anywhere.

Recycled with love

I do love my vintage clobber

I love that they get recycled time and again

And I love the fact that when I’ve 

donated them to my favourite vintage charity shop

they’ve raised over £1000 for Barnado’s

and also that the stylist for Call The Midwife on BBC1

bought a lot of them.

Its also rather fabulous that the government gives the charity 

25p for every pound raised through the Gift Aid Scheme.

Great results all round.  

Have you ever thought of donating to a good cause and used the Gift Aid Scheme.

Don't forget to ask the charity shop about it next time you're in there.

A naughty story

Once upon a time in 1960’s there was a little girl who

got sent out of class for eating sweeties.

She was so annoyed that she stole a book out of the 

school library where she had been sent to stand in the corner.

She hid the book down the back of her green school flannel knickers.

She kept it there all the way home on the bus and sneaked 

it in the house without her mother noticing.

I don’t think her mother would be very happy if she knew and there would certainly have been no candy floss or ice creams next time they went on holiday.

What’s really bad is that the little girl is now 63 and still has the book.  Not stuffed down the back of her knickers thankfully

Here’s a spooky thing

Constance Holme the author of the book

died one month before the little girl was born 

and lived in Milnthorpe, Cumbria where the 

girl holidays every year

What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday

I’m creating a book of words and images

by printing out black & whites versions of 

my own photographs.  

In some cases the  words added 

have come before I found an image

and other times the picture came first.

The lady standing in this photo from the early 1900’s

 is my nana.  How I wish I could ask her what she 

was thinking as she posed with one of her sisters.

When I feel the book is finished I’m going to

print a hardback version off for myself.

I’m going for a swoop around the desks over at

WOYWW - Empty desk syndrome

I had a bit of a scramble round under and around this desk this morning when I couldn’t find my purse.  

Turns out it had fallen out of my bag in the restaurant we were in on Sunday.

I feel so lucky to have got it back.

I thought you might like to see the recycled notebooks I got for Christmas aren’t they fabulous. They’re made from recycled old books and the spine is made into an attached bookmark.  The pages are a mix of plain paper and original story pages.

These little fellas are waiting for me to pop over to Julia’s blog to see what you’ve all been upto at your work desks.

For Christmas I bought myself a beautiful book by Krista Barmer of Nashville called The Mending Space.

The Mending Space

Krista is a textile artist and poet.

I’m creating little stitched pieces that serve no purpose whatsoever other than allowing me to work mindfully with the poetry in the book.

And oh how I am enjoying it.

Each little sample is placed in the book as I finish it.

Maybe I’ll go back to them, maybe not. 

 Maybe I’ll even create my own book of verse.

Happy new year to everyone at 

WOYWW.  I hope you all have an 

awesome creative 2019.
