AUGUST ROUND UP
EEH! YOUVE BEEN A BUSY MONTH
A birthday
Lunch treat with my bestie
A pension
A return to Oxford
A stay with my sister
A meet up with Instagram chums
Stopping off to see special friends
A return to bookshops and the library
Donating blood
And a special christening
Now we move into September and all it will bring.
Starting off with a new prompt for the
Take one patterned fabric and one base fabric
Rework it in ten different ways.
Using what’s left of a charity shop find lined curtain I bought for
£3 a few years ago, here’s what I’ve come up with so far.
When I originally got the curtain it was made into a dress
by my clever friend Val.
WHAT I’M READING
Look at the hardcover on this library book I borrowed, isn’t
it amazing. It’s such a shame to hide it
Well that’s it folks from me for this week.
We are off on a road trip today to Barrowford and Pendle Heritage Centre.
Sorry if I didn’t get round the desks last week and
thank you all for your lovely comments.

You've certainly been a busy pensioner last month, Lynn :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely loving what you're doing with the charity shopped curtain. And is that a new Maggie O'Farrell? I don't think I've read that one, and I'm a big fan of hers ... xxx
Have a good trip! you've had a busy month indeed and very productive. Happy WOYWW Helen#3
ReplyDeleteThat's a great job with the fabric, loving it all. Hope you enjoyed your trip. I'm a bit late as I met up with some old friends today. Wishing you a lovely and creative woyww, Angela x6x
ReplyDeletefabulous post this week, love the fabric and the real cover of the book makes me want to use old maps to cover some of my more boring book covers! HAPPY WOYWW! Lyn #22
ReplyDeleteYeah I prefer the actual book cover to the slip jacket for sure! Your multiple re-workings of that material are all just fab. How do yo keep coming up with them all? Your jacket? You and Scarett o'Hara! I think I prefer yours.

Oh my word - that book cover!
ReplyDeleteenjoy the Heritage Centre - it is a lovely place (You may have this comment twice - my laptop did a 'silly - and my first version vanished half way through 🙄😊)
I love what you did with the fabrics, and I also loved them when they were a dress! I am also secretly coveting that coat you are wearing! Love the book cover too, nice that they made an effort under that dustjacket. Happy WOYWW! Elle #11, EOTC
ReplyDeleteYou have had a glorious month haven’t you, and I’ve really enjoyed it all vicariously! I’m looking forward to your September! Love that you kept the left overs from the curtain and suddenly have a use for…ten ways is a bit challenging for my noggin. Astonished that you didn’t make the dress up yourself, is there a reason for that, Ms Von Trapp?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful textiles!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Stay safe and keep well!
