What's on my workdesk today.....

Well it is not exactly on my desk, it is on my wall.

My finished lace piece from Karen Ruane's lace course

www.karenannruane.typepad.com 

 As someone who didnt stitch I am amazed at what Karen has managed to bring out in me over the three courses I have done with her.

 And as if she hasn't had enough of me yet I have signed up for her new online course that starts in June.

SIMPLY STITCH 

One of our lessons this week was free motion embroidery on scrim.

I better get back to work now as I got that carried away daydreaming at my desk while I was watching my lace hanging gently swing round I have'nt done  a thing.

PIN PILLOWS .....

 After seeing Karen Ruane's beautiful Pin Pillows on her blog I knew I just had to have a go.

Link to Karen's blog

 

Mine is a different shape and nowhere near a professional as Karen's but at least I had a go.  Its made with a piece of embroidery I was practising on for her Embroider, Embellish, Create course.

This is the back I cut up a piece of linen cloth.

If you feel inspired have a look at Karen's link above.

Look what Postman John brought me...

On a dull, wet Friday Postman John made the sunshine with the parcels he brought me.

 Some fantastic photo cards of the work of CAROLYN SAXBY along with one of her lovely beaded crystals and some midnight blue eyelash yarn.

 WWW.CAROLYNSAXBY/ETSY.COM

This is a photocard of one of her embroidered pieces.

 I know its not Christmas but I could'nt resist these white cards.  They are going on my inspiration wall to help me with the new course I am starting on Monday with Karen Ruane.  

EMBROIDER, EMBELLISH, CREATE ONLINE COURSE

Speaking of Karen, my second parcel was from her in the form of this beautiful fabric & paper embroidery. It is stunning and that also will influence my forthcoming course work.

 I hope Mister Postie brought you something nice to chase away what has been a bit of a damp squid day.

What's on my workdesk today ......

Kikki says " I am really bored waiting for you to finish that apron"

 Yes but look what i've achieved Kikki, free machine embroidery at last

and some bullion knots.  I've quite impressed myself.

I am getting there.  Next week should see it finished.

If you are as bored as Kikki nip over and have a look at some more desks.

WOYWW

or have a look at what my tutor has been making.
