“TIS DONE NOW”

Good morning desk hoppers, here’s the embroidery hoop I was working on last week.  Not often I can post a finished project haha.

Looking round my studio room (so called by my lovely hubby) My eyes fell up on some pieces I stitched together a few years ago when I did an online course with embroiderer Karen Ruane.  

and I’ve decided to work back into them by adding words and I’m going to attach them to hangers.  The little flowery thing isn’t really a hanger it was something I found for a £1 in the garden centre and rather liked the look of.

Once the pieces are finished and on the wall I’ll show you a picture.  This is the first piece of three.  All done from imagination and random pieces of vintage cloth and lace.

So dear friends that’s where you will find me today as my 16 year old VW Beetle is having her repairs done to get her through the MOT.  Looking at the weather though I’m going to take advantage of a nice walk on the moors as well.

Hope you all have a happy creative week

Dyeing to show you - woyww

This is what the weekend is for - playing out.

A super Sunday spent learning how to dye threads 

Then using them to create an embroidery

What I’ve not said is that there was also a lot of chatting, laughing, drinking of tea and eating cake going on as well

Of course after an exhaustingly busy day there had to be a trip to the pub for tea.

Another fabulous workshop over in Brighouse, Yorkshire

Kicking up those leaves - WOYWW

Come on Autumn let’s see how your beautiful colours 

and textures can inspire us.

It’s a fabulous time of year to get outside, kick up those leaves and let nature influence your creating, your cooking and how you dress. 

I still wear frocks but layer up with coloured tights and cardigans. Mind you I’m living with a brolly constantly in my hand at the moment, we are having so much rain (not good for the hair)

Hope you’ve released your inner child and kicked up a few leaves and stomped in the puddles haha.

Sorry I’m AWOL again, we are at our caravan finishing off what has been a busy month with lots of celebrating.

I’m just going to leave you with some pics of my workroom that is ready for me to come back to and settle into as the days grow shorter and we feel the need for cosy warmth and lamplight.  

My winter boots and opaque tights are back on and brolly is at the ready for what looks like a rainy Lake District week.

I’m meeting up with some Instagram friends today so it won’t matter what the weathers doing because we will be to busy chatting and laughing I’m sure.

Have a great week fellowdesk-snoopers.  

See you next week.  Lynn x x x

Working with the seasons - WOYWW

Well we’ve slipped into Autumn this week and for us it’s been a busy end to the summer.  We’ve had my birthday, our 30th wedding anniversary, Philip and his twin sister Elena’s 70th birthday, a family wedding and a three day music festival.  Hence there’s nothing to show you desk wise and it’s the reason I’ve been AWOL from What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday link up.


So with a clean palette to go into the new season


I’ve been considering what to do next

I’m always fiffing and faffing about,  get easily distracted and have a complete lack of concentration.  Anyone else like that or is it just me ?

So I’ve given myself a good talking to and come up with a plan to work with my creative mind instead of against it.  What that means is I’m going to embrace the seasons and create displays and spaces in the house to reflect them.  That way I’ll get the housework done instead of ignoring it and the place being a tip.  

I’ll bring in oranges, browns, reds and yellows with cushions and throws, swap a few rugs round and pull all the blues and summer florals down off my studio walls.

I feel quite motivated now and hopefully once I’ve done this I’ll move onto some crafting.

Fingers crossed.  I’ll let you know next week how it works out.

I’ve not been completely uncreative as I’ve been putting my ramblings down on paper in my notebook. They don’t mean anything to anyone, it’s just me waffling, usually telling myself what I should be doing, what I’ve enjoyed doing and the things I’m grateful for.
