As August comes to a close I’ve done a little round up of how the month has been in our household.
I’ve finished my COLOUR prompt over at No Rules Textile Society.
Last week saw me co presenting a community radio programme.
It must have been okay as they’ve invited me back
August is my birthday month
A good excuse to ask for books as pressies
There’s been some new additions to the kitchen
Oh and look at these lovely biscuits my friend gave me.
We’ve even sneaked a few days away at our caravan in the Lake District.
There’s a couple of lovely vintage shops nearby and I’ve snaffled
two beautiful Victorian children’s garments and a card of British made
pearl buttons. They’ll be put away ready for a suitable project.
I’m working on some basic printing for the start of the new prompt
with my textile group.
I almost forgot we had a lovely time at Art In The Pen held at
Skipton Auction Mart. It was our first visit and won’t be our last.
There really is the crème de la creme of British makers & artists
trading there. I spent my birthday money on this pretty silver filigree brooch.
September is looking like a busy one for us, so you probably
won’t see me until the end of the month.
I’m sorry I haven’t been able to comment on previous posts but
Blogger is throwing some odd things up and I can’t get onto folks
comment boxes
Take care all and happy crafting

Loved your birthday month. Belated greetings. That last pic of you is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you here again. So much to se, but that brooch and the cookis are just wonderful. Happy Birthday and it sure looks like you made the most of it. your "caravan" looks like a real home away from home. What a delight. Enjoy your printmaking - and lest I forget, WOW to the bowl. It looks amazing!

What a lovely post - well worth waiting for. Your colour boards are fab- lots of interesting bits and bobs so creatively combined. Your brooch is so pretty - what a clever crafter. We love Skipton but I've never been to the Art in the Pen event.- sounds just my thing. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSeems like such a busy and lovely month has been had by you and your other half. Whereabouts is your caravan? We have been at ours the whole month and so enjoyed the peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteLove the brooch. An old friend of mine goes to that show in Skipton. `Love Skipton.

Hi Lynn, it's always great to see what you're up to. Love your victorian finds. I think you would like the hotel we are at the moment it's in Matlock Bath. They have kept it as the Victorians would have known it, you can see it on-line it's called Hodgkinsons Matlock Bath and it's like staying in a museum. The biscuits look too nice to eat but guess you'll be brave soon. Happy woyww, Angela x10x
