What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday - Books, Frocks and Some Stitching

Before I get to my desk there was a trip to be had to the post office

and a trip to the library to return the books borrowed using the

Select and Collect service.  You can’t go into the library itself, only

to the front door where you drop the books in a box.  They are

then left for 72 hours I think before going back on the shelves.

I’ll be glad when I can visit properly.  It’s a place I’ve attended

since being a small child.

For frock fans these are both from PALAVAFOLK the jacket and cardigan

are both charity shop finds and the shoes are from FLY LONDON

Now to the desk.

I’m still doing the No Rules Patchwork online course, but

typical me I’ve gone off piste.  Jayne the tutor laughed and

said she expects us to do our own thing.

Thank goodness for that is all I can say.

This started out as an old antimacassar for the back of a chair.

I’ve cut it up, rearranged, stitched it back together and added some ticking

fabric that I’ve cut into strips.

I’ll add some hand stitching and fiff & faff some more with it before

adding a piece of old brown electrical wire I found to weave through

the top to turn it into a hanging.

Back to books.  My friend lent me Philip Schofield’s life story.

It’s funny, open hearted and sensitive.  I’m amazed at just how

much he has done.  He writes as he speaks, which works for me every time.

The audio version is read by Philip himself.  I had a preview listen. It’s very good.

Now I hope everyone has had a good week and the folk

who’ve now had their vaccine jabs are all feeling ok and

more optimistic for the future.
