What’s on your work desk Wednesday

GATHER 

I’m gathering in more than one way.

Personally I’m gathering my wits, patience, strength and all the other emotions and physical

stuff us humans contend with.  I won’t bore you with it, only to say I have been and am still

in the throws of sorting the move of my lovely 89 and half year old Mum to a really nice

retirement flat and arranging the sale of her house.

This was the outlook from her windows on Monday, isn’t it stunning.

I’m thinking of booking myself in.

On Sunday afternoon I set aside some me time to return to my

craft desk. I was determined not to miss the start of the new prompt

with my No Rules Textile Society.

I’ve stripped the cork display wall of its “UNMAKING” pieces.

and I’m bringing in the colours of Spring for the new prompt

 “GATHER”

The afternoon was spent happily gathering books, fabrics and

papers

It was nice to spend time fiffing and faffing creating a paper

collage and adding machine stitching.




Here’s how it’s going so far.

Wish us luck for the move on Saturday.

Can’t wait to be sat looking out at those lovely views

with a cup of tea in hand.

Take care

WHATS ON YOUR WORK DESK WEDNESDAY 

No desk this week - WOYWW 670

No desk to show again this week because we are having an adventure in Yorkshire. Oakworth near Haworth to be precise, and we are staying in this delightful air BnB named Curiosity Cottage.

LINK TO CURIOSITY COTTAGE

Even though it’s wet and windy, it’s been a good time to visit as there’s not many folk about but on the negative side a lot of things don’t open while later in the week, so we will have to do the Brontë Parsonage on the way home on Thursday.

These are the cottages on Main Street, Haworth. So pretty, I wonder how many are actually lived in by locals and how many are holiday lets.

This lovely shop is owned by the same people who own the cottage. They’ve owned it for 35 years. It’s worth going in for the beautiful aromas from bath salts and candles and to see the fantastic old shop fittings. The candles are made in a workshop at the back of the cottage we are staying in and there’s a little notice on the kitchen door spelling you that you will gets wafts of the beautiful aromas they are creating.  The bath salts and soaps are created in the cellar of the shop (think I’ve got that right).

We are going on the steam train today.

I’ll be channeling my inner Railway Children excitement.

Well we did spot Bernard Cribbins in the pub yesterday.

I’ll be back at my desk next week.

See you then.
