Something to blog about -Woyww

Hooray I’ve something to blog about.

The textile group I am a member of has a new prompt.

ART & ARTISTS and we are to create whatever we want

by focusing on our chosen subject.

I love the whimsical collage work of Emily Hildebrand aka Quiet Noticing

over on Instagram.  She works in paper, painting & drawing.

My take on it is in fabric.

My second choice is Cherokee based Textile artist and author

Krista Barmer aka The Mending Space over on Instagram.

It’s all about layering and stitch with this one.

I’ve not gone with the more well known artists yet, I’m just going with what

I’m drawn too.

Over on the home front.

We picked up this vintage looking wallpaper for 99p a roll

and after living with it pinned up for a couple of days

the wandering welder has set too stripping the kitchen wall

ready to hang it.


Here’s the tidy side of the kitchen

Out and about.

I went to see Where The Crawdads Sing at the cinema yesterday.

If you’ve read the book I promise you that the film will not disappoint.

We were spellbound for over two hours and said we could watch it again.

Did I show you this stunning handworked wire flower I found in

the charity shop for 20p in a frame.  Just imagine the hours spent

making it. Never mind the skill needed. It’s pinned up on the

studio wall now.

I’m sorry for not getting back to you last week, it’s been a

bit full on again with paperwork and mum’s house sale.

Next week we are taking Mum upto her favourite holiday cottage

at Grange Over Sands and in between taking her it we will be at

our caravan just up the road.

See you soon.

Stay well and keep crafting

WOYWW - Books and Wooden Houses

Hello desk hoppers and fellow bloggers, the weeks are flying by and I won’t bore you with all the stuff that is still going on with Mum’s house sale and move.

I’ve done a lot of reading

And over the last fortnight I got heavily into Wimbledon. It’s all pure distraction tactics.  I’m afraid to say the last few months has taken its toll on me physically and mentally.

However, last weekend I went on a two day craft workshop at Anne Brooke’s studio in Brighouse and it was so nice to be with likeminded folk and my good friend vintage crockery trader Pat of A Vintage Affair.

Under the watchful eye of our lovely Scottish tutor Ali Ferguson of The Purple Thread Shed we created these wooden tenement buildings. There was lots of prepping, drilling and stitching and embellishing went on.

Pat made a row of shops

Mine were loosely based on the beautiful cottages in the Cumbrian town of Ulverston.

So now we are spending a few days at our little caravan in the Lake District.  

Hope everyone is well

Love Lynn
