Oh eck ! It’s Wednesday and although it’s been a busy
week since our last desk hopping meet up with Julia, I’ve
already blogged about what I’ve been upto so I’m a
bit short on desk pics sorry.
I can show you the beautiful mosaic heart I received yesterday.
Made by Helen Swanton a British crafter.
It’s a gift from my sister in Oxford who I haven’t seen since October.
I’ve joined the No Rules Textile Society, an online group
set up by textile artist Jayne Emerson.
We had our first online meeting on Saturday and had been asked
to put together a mood board to work out our style.
I’ve worked out I’m a visionary, meaning I like to see things
on display. Like on open shelves, on hangers, peeping out of
containers etc. If you’ve ever visited our house you’ll have
seen for yourself.
I was pretty impressed with my zooming skills as I’ve only
ever done Pilates classes online. See you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Goodness knows what the other members thought of my broad Lancashire accent.
Here’s my zoom face haha.
I’ll have something to show next week as we have a
monthly project and the prompt for this month is
TUFTED
All I could think of at the time was Tufty the squirrel.
Hope you’re all doing ok and staying positive.
The sun has got his hat on this week and there
are signs of new growth in the ground.

ReplyDeleteI think a Lancs accent is fab! You looked very good on your Zoom call, I never seem to get the iPad angle right, lol! Lots of lovely things on your post this week, but wow, that mosaic heart is gorgeous!

That heart is beautiful - much like yours. (I mean beautiful)
ReplyDeleteLove your mood board and I am sure the Zoom people loved your Lancashire accent, you should be proud of it, eh up lass, tha' owt to be proud.
Hugs, Neet 15 xx
Oh yes! I used to read Tufty stories to my class at school - all good stuff! I love your mood board and of course the zoom face! Who cares about your accent - all the best folk have a regional accent these days. Isn't that little mosaic heart a delight! Yes, I will post Julia's twiddler on my blog next week. Thanks. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn. I'm a bit like you and love to see things around me which is why our house is covered in pieces of art work and other objects that I have collected over the years. I miss the Lancashire accent and it's interesting that although we are also from the North (well South Yorkshire actually) the accents are so different and the phrases we use too. If people are honest everyone has an accent it's just different and we should maintain these. When we first came to Lincoln I used to hear the Lincolnshire accent all the time from the children I taught and now we hardly ever hear it which is really sad. Have a lovely week and a very happy woyww, Angela x18x
ReplyDeleteSo remember the Tufty safety ads Lynn. Love that gift from your sister, it is beautiful. hope you'll be able to see each other before too much longer. Great mood board! Stay safe. Sarah #6
ReplyDeleteI remember the tufty club!! was never a member though. glad you're embracing technology! Have a good week Helen #3
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in the visionary gang, I love seeing things out on display, too! Your mood board is a riot of colour, testure and interest.
ReplyDeleteI was in The Tufty Club, too. Jon thinks I ought to send my badge back, I'm the world's worst at crossing roads! xxx
Your sister's mosaic heart is delightful, Lynn. I'm well impressed with your Zooming skills. And I love hearing your Lancashire accent! xxxx
ReplyDeleteThe mosaic heart is beautiful. I don’t know if I am a visionary, but I like to have everything where I can see it, as far as my ornaments and Knick knacks and my own work I am happy with. Have a great week Angela #17
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh :) I love your mood board and your style ~ I don't zoom, so I'm proud of you for doing that as well ~ Blessings & creative wishes on your week ~ Love, Karen #29
ReplyDeleteSome friends want us to meet up with them for a walk around Healey Dell. Can you let me know if there are any walks suitable for someone who uses a four wheeled walker to get around please?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
I really love your sister's gift of the mosaic heart. Lovely, and you must have enjoyed opening up the box. Your mood board is a work of art in it's own right. LOVE IT. No idea who Tufty is - anything pre-1990s and it's hit or miss that I'd have heard of it. Enjoy sewing No Rules style!
ReplyDeleteLove that heart! Really nicly done! Lucky you!And I'm sure I was a member of the Tufty Club...or remember wanting to be! Just peeped at your sister's link, she does amazing work! Stay Safe! Keep crafting. Amd Knitting! Happy very late WOYWW ((Lyn)) #19
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ceramic heart, Lynne, and the card with it too, and the fabric club sounds fun. I am not familiar with Tufty but love that picture! Your Zoom picture is fabulous, and your gorgeous cardi really suits you so well. As always, I really enjoyed my visit, although rather late in the day I'm afraid! Been a busy week.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
