How are you all doing ? Sorry if I sound a bit muffled I’m practicing wearing my mask. The wandering welder says it should be a permanent thing. Cheeky !
I can’t remember the last time I bought paper to wrap a present, usually I scout around the house to see what there is.
For a friend’s 70th this week I’ve made a bag out of a scented drawer liner. It’s machine stitched along the bottom (you could use double sided tape). As you can see I’ve punched two holes in the top and threaded a bit of string through to hold it together. The back overlaps so didn’t need any securing.
This one contains a book and it’s wrapped in 1945 magazine pages and again a bit of string. This one is for our neighbour and friend Mark. He will love reading the articles on the wrapping and the book I hope.
On the go I’ve got a hole to repair in a vintage underskirt and a little project to work with that you can read about here
I’m reading my Anne Brooke’s Textile Wanderings Book again to while away a rainy afternoon and to inspire the stitching I’ll be doing.
If you’ve been following the Art tour around my house
posts, here’s a wonderful gift we were sent by my Instagram chum Rachel. Isn’t she clever. She’s even got my Orla Kiely shoes to a T.
Well I hope you lovely desk hoppers are having better weather than us Northern lasses, it’s been rain, rain and more rain. Don’t know about wearing masks, it’s wellies and raincoats here.
Take care
Lynn
