Look who has arrived. It’s Alyssa Ivy weighing in at 6lb 9oz and is just beautiful. Mum Emma and baby are both doing well and thank you for everyone’s good wishes last week.
Now back to the desk.
There’s a new book that I’ve lost myself in for several hours already. The Myrtles are a group of textile artists who have given us a look at their lives and homes in Cornwall.
There’s some antique quilt pieces that I may just sit and look at. I should have a box labelled “My box of stuff to Sit & Admire ”. I’d have no problems filling it that’s for sure.
This was a little blouse I paid 10p for in the charity shop then cut up and stitched on. At some point I will get round to framing it.
Sorry if I didn’t get round to your desk last week I was busy pacing the floor waiting for Alyssa Ivy to put in an appearance.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see Lynn Alyssa Ivy is adorable. Congratulations to all.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen that book but now bookmarked! Fabulous find with the blouse it really does need to be framed or turned into a cushion using the shape exactly as it is.. Thank you for sharing WoywW Tracey #7
Beautiful baby and so tiny. Love the stitching and I agree it should be framed.
ReplyDeleteMy Wednesday desk load is going to be more cleaning. Stitching sounds much more fun.

ReplyDeleteHello Lynn, congratulations to all concerned on the birth of Alyssa Ivy - lovely name. That book looks interesting and the quilt blocks are priceless. Your box sounds like a very good idea - I'd have no problem filling one too. The blouse was a snip at 10p and perfect for your embroidery project too. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #20

ReplyDeleteAlyssa is beautiful. The needlework is scrummy too. I like the idea of a box of things to sit and admire! Happy WOYWW Lynn. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous baby! Love the 10p blouse turned into artwork, what amazing things you come up with, Lynn! I do think I need a "stuff to sit and admire" box too. Several, actually. I've even got a special "sit and admire" drawer for those brooches which are too delicate to wear ... xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby and a lovely name too. Have a great woyww, what's left of it and a happy creative week, Angela x14x

Thanks for calling by and leaving kind messages. Little Alyssa is beautiful - don't they look so perfect. I love your little embroidery - a great bit of upcycling! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteYour comment “my box of stuff to sit and admire “ sounds like my craft room! Enjoy that new precious little bundle.
ReplyDeleteOh my Lynn, what a beautiful gift, a big fat warm and slightly hormonal hug of a welcome to Alyssa, what joy. So glad the baby mumma is doing well - it doesnt matter how ‘natural’ or for how many millennia we’ve been having children....it’s a worry! I love the stitching on the shirt front. And the idea for a box of things to sit and admire...I wouldn’t have any trouble wither, and it would be a HUGE box!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love all your photos but especially the adorable baby! Until next week, enjoy! Dorlene #25
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby!!!
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is gorgeous.
What a lovely post, full of joy x
