WOYWW - it’s a busy life being retired

It’s been a busy week in the Holland household.

After the Shibori dyeing workshop I did recently, I started

using the dyed pieces to create festive ornaments, bunting

and cards as part of the No Rules Textile Society latest

prompt - Festivities


Here’s a few bits and pieces on the cork wall in the studio.


Tuesday morning was a 6.00am start.

I took a friend to hospital for her hip replacement operation.

Once back home I ended up sat at the desk stitching after a

my Pilates practice.

I may have revolutionised my days by earlier starts.

The ideas and work flowed well, accompanied by a mug of tea

and Alexa playing music by my current favourite band

Hollow Coves.

Zoom talks have become a new source of inspiration as well and

after a talk by textile artist Susan Briscoe on Sashiko and Boro

stitching I went onto produce this little framed piece.

Those folk who know me for my love of charity shop and

vintage clothing might like this.

Here’s an Instagram chum showing off her St. Michael’s denim

dress that she has had for over 30 years.

Here’s me wearing the same one that I bought from a vintage

trader friend for £5 a few years ago.

Isn’t the shearing gorgeous.

Well folks that’s all from me this week, apart from my Mum

celebrating her 89th birthday yesterday with a surprise afternoon

tea party at the restaurant/bar that I did my courting in with

the wandering welder 

There were no afternoon teas 43 years ago as it was a steak

bar and posh drinking hole.

Have a lovely crafty week ladies

Take care, stay well

See you soon
