On Saturday morning I went on a little workshop creating postcards using stitch. It’s not finished yet but you’ll get the gist of it.
From there I went onto the local Embroiderers guild cream tea event. It was a chance to catch up with a few friends. I’m not an embroiderer myself I just do a bit of random stitching, but I do admire what they do. It’s very precise and me and precision don’t get along. Much like me and litres and metres don’t either.
I couldn’t resist the colours of these threads and as they were only 10p each they had to come home with me.
Dropped Mum back home then it was a mad dash up to the caravan for the rest of the weekend. Sunday saw me drooling over this beautiful Lagonda at Ulverston Retro Fair.
More about the rest of the weekend in my next post. Don’t want to get told off by Julia for going off at a tangent.
Happy Workdesk day everyone

I love your postcard embroidery and those threads are fab. I do hope we get to see the finished card...I can't imagine what more you will do to it.

Wow, 10p for those balls of thread? I think you were very restrained, lol!! That stitched card is a great idea and could lead on to so many possibilities. Nice pic of you in your new motor ;-)

Get you in your posh new car (well, we can dream can't we).
ReplyDeleteThose threads are gorgeous, real ice creamy colours - I especially like the variegated ones.
Have a good week.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Most of us are way off on a tangent all the time LOL! Would love to hear about your weekend! How cute are those stitched cards - love the idea, so unusual. Happy Wednesday! zsuzsa #23
ReplyDeleteThose threads were a bargain and I think the pastel shades are irresistible - like the ice-cream on your card. The car looks as if it was made for you and those bespectacled gnomes are fun. Elizabeth x #24
ReplyDeleteI love that postcard. So unique. Have a wonderful week. Dorlene #29

ReplyDeleteHi Lynne, had to laugh at you & Metres & Litres! Me too. I'll be feet & inches & pints forever! Love the threads, and the postcard is so unusual. Eyes have cleared enough to be able to type now,lol. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #16 X
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous project, I love what you've done so far.
ReplyDeleteThat Lagonda should be yours, you look so at home in it. Have a word with the Welder! xx
That pretty car fits you to a tea :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful threads Lynn, I wouldn't have been able to resist them either. The picture of you in the Lagonda reminds me of the opening line of 'A Transport of Delight' by Flanders and Swann. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteI love those balls of threads! I love crochet and those would have had to come home with me too!

Love the thread and the stitching post card. Such fun. Have a great week. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#14)
ReplyDeleteWork in progress or not, I can see the stitched postcard will be gorgeous. What a grand idea? You're looking right at home in that Lagonda, by the way. That pair of garden gnomes is sooo cute. Is it you and Philip? xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, nice bargain - 10p for a ball of thread! Great photo of you in the car! Have a lovely week, Heather xx #11
ReplyDeleteThat sure was a bargain Lynn, It would have taken my fancy too.. super postcard stitchery. I love embroidery but can only do it on a small scale, I tend to be a rule breaker & go my own way if it's a big project.
ReplyDeleteSweet little Gnomes. Happy WoywW Tracey #8
