It’s that day of the week where we grab a cuppa, settle down
and virtually get together with friends over at
What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday
Yesterday I sat watching the much acclaimed film The Dig starring
Ralph Fiennes, while I worked on a tag for friend and textile artist
Anne Brookes ‘52 Tag Challenge’ over on Instagram and You Tube.
I’m not doing the challenge every week, just joining in when I fancy.
This weeks theme was KISSES and I drew inspiration for mine
from a piece of art I have by St. Ives artist Sue Dove.
Rummaging round for my sewing stuff I came across this canvas
bag I started decorating at least two years ago, so the plan is to
get that finished next.
This one I did finish
I know we are all feeling a bit broken, confused and worried
at the moment but you know what, we are getting there.
Keep smiling folks, keep checking in on one another spring
is just around the corner.
See you next week you lovely lot and thanks for
calling by.

WHat great projects you have on the go Lynn. Love the latest canvas bag project you are looking to finish. Great tag too. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10
ReplyDeleteI love it all, but the canvas is really something. So evocative. And are those mudlarked pipe stems in the last? Amazing what the addition of a couple of googly eyes can do!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW to all!

That bag is fabulous, what a beautiful piece of art!
ReplyDeleteI love stem ginger biscuits and so does Stephen, I have to dunk them in tea for him and he purrs with joy.
Everyone seems to be talking about The Dig, we only have normal TV so I'll have to wait. Love Ralph Fiennes, especially in The Grand Budapest Hotel!
Have a lovely day! xxx
Even better than The Dig has been the Channel 5 drama this week - The Drowning. Definitely worth a watch. Jill Halfpenny was brilliant. Xxx
DeleteLove the bags Lynn but your clay pipe people really made me smile....and I needed that this morning :-)

Hi Lynn, love your post this morning, a little bit of cheer is just what I needed! The tag is gorgeous and I love your canvas bags - so stylish and such a good idea. I still have my little clay pipe chap sitting giving me quizzical looks from the book shelf!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and stay safe and well,

l love stem ginger cookies, I made rich biscuits from the bero book yesterday, we made veggie sausage rolls and monster corned beef pasties for lunch today, from Paul’s stockpile.
ReplyDeleteLove the art work, so pretty, the bags are lovely too. Take care and keep safe
Oh my word, it’s all round to your house for tea haha xx
DeleteSo much to love on your post this morning! I adore your bags - there is something so comforting about eclectic patchworks. Your tag is wonderful too - again it's that homespun feel that really captures me. Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #2
ReplyDeleteThat is a happy desk. Love your pipes!! Happy WOYWW, stay well, stay safe, love n hugs Cindyxx #19
ReplyDeleteLove your bags but it was the clay pipes that really made me laugh! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSo much to love about your blog - today and always. Love those biscuits (a favourite of mine I just love ginger) and the work of Sue Dove. I like how you have decorated that bag and now doing the second one in a different colour - to match outfits? Then finally love the clay pipes, how fabulous to have those.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
Oh wow, those clay pipe creatures are just awesome, they made me smile a lot. So many bits of pipe turn up in gardens, that’s the best way to make use of them! I love the way you used those scraps of fabric to decorate the bag, it really makes a huge difference and looks fab. You’re a clever lady using scraps and thread in interesting ways!

Absolutely love that lady and the little birds on the canvas, it's adorable. The biscuits look rather scrummy too. Have a lovely creative week and happy woyww, Angela x16x
ReplyDeleteWow!! Your projects are amazing, love the clay pipe people! Take care xx Helen #3
ReplyDeleteThe clay pipes made me laugh out loud! Brilliant. Happy WOYWW. I hope that you have a good week. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#10)
ReplyDeleteYour bag is lovely and has given me an idea for a hessian shopping bag given out to shoppers in M&S. It's got writing on both sides and it's a bit rough, I haven't used it but it would look much nicer with some pretty collage on it.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many amazing projects! I spent a lot of time just looking at the photo over and over again! Everything is so beautifully staged! The pipes, I think, are my favorite. For the moment anyway!
ReplyDeleteBe well,
Hugz,

Great projects. Love your bags, I have two bags like that which I bought for crafting with paper napkins, but never did. Have a great week Angela #17
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing projects on your blog. I love those bags! So different and fun! Have a great week. Dorlene #31
ReplyDeleteSome great projects under way on your blog today, Had to look at the pipes again as they reminded me of a child's program called the clangers,
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe, Lilian B #12
I love every single one of your projects but the little clay pipes really made me smile. Just what we need. Stay safe and keep spreading your cheer.

Lovely work you've been doing, and the clay pipes were funny. Everything takes a different twist with googly eyes!

Your projects are always so different, so enterprising and surprising, Lynn! I love visiting and seeing what you have been up to. Your canvas bags are a triumph and sure to turn some heads when you are out shopping. The little clay pipe animals are really quirky - so imaginative! All your things are so beautiful this week.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, my hubby and I have just watched the film "The Dig" as well! Recommended by my friend in Brazil. My hubby and I visited Sutton Hoo a few years ago when we were over that way on holiday and we were completely blown away. I found the film incredibly moving and exciting and I've saved it in my list to watch again. I thought the cinematography was stunning as well.
Thank you for your visit and especially for your prayers. I think Shaz needs our prayers more than I do at the moment but so much appreciated nonetheless! I agree with you about men being softies - my hubby is far worse than me when it comes to the kitties! The blanket is coming on fine and I'm really keen to get on to the making up stage next, and finally the embellishments. Still quite a bit of work to do.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Hello! Terrific tag and totes ~ Enjoy the weekend ahead! Love, Karen#27
ReplyDeleteDo save some of those biscuits for me, please :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the patchwork decorated canvas bag, and the other one will be equally gorgeous once you get around to finishing it! xxx
I could just eat one of those biscuits!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set of projects today - I particularly like the canvas bags!
Happy WOYWW!
Stay safe and keep well!
I am hoping to visit everyone this week – unfortunately last week I just couldn’t make it…

Hi Lynn! I'm doing that challenge as well, are you in the FB group? I don't do hand stitching, so I interpret the prompt with stamps. I will post my tag next week on my blog. Yours is very nice and big! The quilted bags are beautiful! I used to be able to do stitching like that, but my eyes and arthritis really won't let me anymore. Stay safe and stay warm! Lindart #33
ReplyDeleteI love the lady and the bird and the bags and the pipes with eyes! So funny! I'm just off for some hot chocolate and I'm sure there's dark chocolate ginger bickies some where! We watched The Dig too...what happened? Um...oh yes!! The boat under the hill. Glad Bazil Brown (Lord Voldemort!)was mentioned in the end for all his hard work! Hope you're well. Happy Crafting -Happy late WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#20
