Talk to the wall

 I went to see Shirley Valentine last week at the Lowry, Manchester.

It must have left an impression on me as I've been talking to the wall

and I don't mean my wandering welder of an husband

I mean this wall.  I've taken everything off one section and then

hammered up this seed tray that I picked up at a country fair recently.

There was no plan in mind for the display, I just went with the flow.

This is a button hoop I made a couple of years ago.

I've added little bits of embroidery to the vintage flower cards.

These were done for a little project last month.

I had a real good faffing session yesterday when it was raining to 

much to go outside.  Hope you like it.

Don't slam the door on your way out though, don't want things falling off

the wall.

Time for a cuppa now and a look what you've all been working

on this week.

Bye for now from me and the wall

Just my imagination

Do you know the song ?  It came on the radio as I started my new project "This Hour Of Mine".  The aim is to create a curated wall, a little exhibition of collected things.  

After a lot of pondering I decided on a garden themed wall.

I shot off to the garden centre with a head full of ideas and came back with two lengths of trellis, a boot full of herbs and a bar of fancy soap for the wandering welder husband.

Next up everything came off the workroom wall, it was quite cathertic really as the pieces on it have been there years. The hammer and nails came out and up went the two trellis pieces.

Spent the rest of the day in heaven fiffing and faffing and these are the results so far.

The trellis is brilliant, you can pin things on it, hang things really easily.  You could even hanging your washing on it haha.

Now lets see if the wandering welder notices.

Over to Julia's blog now to see what all the lovely 

crafters have been up to this week.

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

Am I the only one who can't stick to one job at a time ?

Am I the only one constantly sidetracked ? Tell me I'm not, please.

You see the roll of curtain header tape I picked up in the charity shop for £1.50.

Well that distracted me from the lavender squares I was making for my Mum and from doing more in making a book from a book. 

Instead I ended up printing and stitching onto it.

Then the fabulous piece of anaglypta white brick effect wallpaper I've been coveting and using as a backdrop for photographs suddenly jumped out at me as a possible backing for the stitched header tape

and I had the brainwave of making a wall of stitch 

Typical me, couldn't leave it there. 

No, my brain went into overdrive then thinking 

oh i could do a wall of  

Words

Flowers

Colours

Fabrics

Buttons

Haberdashery

Please do not encourage me by suggesting any more "WALLS OF ......." or I will never clear this

Hope you have all had a nice Easter and are back at your desks
