What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday



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.

  11. You've certainly been a busy pensioner last month, Lynn :-)
    I'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

  15. Yeah 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.

    Happy WOYWW

  17. 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

  18. You 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?
