I’ve got nothing to show you on my desk this week other than a book bag I made for my rare copy of Ponckle.
The reason I’ve nothing to show is because we took my 86 year old Mum to Grange Over Sands for a few days. I’ve no idea what she was upto here but the wandering welder doesn’t look overly impressed.
I did however buy a massive notebook for my massive amount of ramblings. Something I’m prone to do most days in one notebook or another. This one I intend to use for projects. I’ve got a long list of them. It should stop me procrastinating and faffing. Or I may just spend my time thinking of more projects to list haha.
Now I did pick up this little mystery item. I’m going to leave you guessing and I’ll tell you next week what it is if you don’t already know, and what I’m going to do with it
Have a good week desk hoppers
The mystery item has me stumped Lynn, look forward to the great reveal next week. Looks like your mum was having fun! Nice new notebook. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #9
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a quick break from cutting squares for my quilt and enjoying a coffee while I catch up on a few of my favourite blogs.
ReplyDeleteI love the latest book bag Lynn....the mystery item has beaten me I'm sorry to say.
Hugs,

Just visiting on my lunch break you tease! Helen #3
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like a good challenge! I downloaded your photo to see if you have named it - how clever is that LOL - but you haven't, so no clue there. Hmm, is it something they used for rinsing clothes in the river in old days? Or to spin the wet clothes to get rid of the excess water? My guess is, it's something to do with laundry, but I might be way off mark. Your mum looks happy - and a little naughty LOL! Enjoy your week! zsuzsa #16
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing along with Zsuzsa that the item is some sort of 'textile-tool' I love the photo of your mum and that's quite an impressing list in the notebook! Happy woyww and a big hug from Holland, Marit #15
ReplyDeleteUmmm, curiouser and curiouser... I guess I'll have to stop by next week to see what it is :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Claire, no. 2
I can't even begin to know what that is. I'm anxious to find out!

Hmmm, you obviously have to feed something through the gap - anything to do with veg at all? Or flowers? It's a good object whatever, well done for finding it. I love the pic of your mum, she looks a great character!

This is driving me mad! The thing looks familiar but I can't think what it is or where I've seen one before and I know I'll kick myself when you let on what it is. Whatever you are do today have a lovely woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely photo of your Mum and Philip!
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what that gadget could be but I don't think I could have resisted it either.
I'm going to have to ask my artist friend Liz (@izzybirdbags) about Ponckle, she spends at least a fortnight a year in St Ives painting! xxx
Love that photo of the welder and your Mum. She's looking rather cheeky, doesn't she? The gadget's got me stumped, Lynn. Will definitely check in later to find out. xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW #530 great desk you have been very busy! xx Jan (21)
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at the expression of the welder with your mum.
ReplyDeleteYour mystery item is a mystery to me. Not the foggiest idea!
Great book bag and what a nice way to keep your special books protected!
Have a wonderful week!

Ah what a fab pic of your Mum and her son in law. Probably she’d said something that she found hilarious, and only she did. I’m very familiar with that situation! The tool? No idea. Looks like a bristle-less brush to me.do something that’s renders it not a tool it will be so much the better. As for your beautiful notebook and list."well there’s nothing like making a list to look at whilst wondering what to do......
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of your Mum enjoying her day out! No idea what the mystery object is though. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, no idea on the tool, yet I feel I've seen one before. Great notebook, but I'm hopeless with lists! lol. Really late this week, spent most of yesterday afternoon in A&E, as the breathlessness wasn't easing off. They gave me IV Antibiotics & steroids, and some nebulisers, which has helped, but it's still not what it should be. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4X
ReplyDeleteI have no idea on your new tool either. But will look forward to see what you tell us. Great photos! Dorlene #22
ReplyDeleteYour mam looks so happy Lynn, what a lovely time you must have all had. Nice stitchy projects above and that wooden thingy me bob reminds me of an old loom handle to push down the warps or is it the wefts..?? I look forward to you giving us the answers next time.. Happy WoywW Tracey #14
ReplyDeleteThat's a charming book bag you've made. I love journals for art and writing too, so I can relate. Happy belated WOYWW! #24
ReplyDeleteLove the photo and both expressions and absolutely mystified about the wooden tool. Now searching all about Ponckle. Have a lovely weekend
ReplyDeletesuper photo! it looks like your Mum had a great time.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to next week's reveal....
