WHAT'S ON MY WORKDESK TODAY

 There has been a bit of crafting going on this week

in the form of papier mache dolls. 
This is Mabel my Rockabilly girl with her dog Jasper

 Our monthly craft group met and was led by friend Gail Barnes in making dolls inspired by mixed media folk artist Julie Arkell 

Here's the one that Gail made

If you google Julie Arkell you can see images of her work

Sorry I'm a bit rushed this week.

Time for a look around some more desks

WHAT'S ON MY WORKDESK TODAY..........

There is nothing on my desk this week as we have been visiting the Lake District, starting out at  Holker Hall Garden Festival in Cumbria.

The picture above is hand cut paper by a member of the Womens Institute which is celebrating its 100th year.

 Look at the intricate work in this little bucket by another member

 and this tiny chair decorated with fresh flowers 

Primula Aricula

 Here's some of the displays we saw

 We put on a bit of a colourful display ourselves with our charity shop find coats and my £8 dress from friend Vicky Brearley at www.vintagevixon.blogspot.co.uk

Stunning display of lupins in one of the marquees

On Sunday we were disappointed that Art on the Prom had to be cancelled due to expected high winds.

As you can see they didn't appear and we took the opportunity to meander along the empty promenade.

 They have the most glorious borders that stretch the full length of the walkway.

So after a lovely weekend with friends it was time to head off home

Don't forget to have a look at some desks that actually have some work on them
