At the moment we are awaiting decorators and I have been clearing out a large bedroom with of lots of stuff - it was a spare room and things dumped in there, and lots of clothes ' I might get into again' - so someone else will now benefit from them. I feel much better letting go of them all.
We did go to Cornwall visiting mum on way there and back!
View from our cottage.
I went on a lovely ( for the day) Free Motion Embroidery Course in Staffordshire. I'm no expert but it was fun. I've a little bit to finish off.
Have been attempting to crochet some hearts for a gift - getting there!
Generally having fun and being creative, well trying to be lol!
So my 'desk' is very tidy. It was a big mess but I cleared it yesterday as I have four ladies here tomorrow night to craft.
Need to set everything out in the morning.
Where I usually sit.
Other end with everything for the class.
I did this class a couple of weeks ago, repeating tomorrow - making a selection of the above - not the Vanity Boxes this time.
Vanity Box
My lovely mum - a fortnight ago.
Found this ' Mug Shot' of a very young me! :-)
I will be round to visit as many of you as I can.
Hope to be back next week.
Oh bless her, your mum's looking better than for a while - how lovely to pop in en route to Cornwall. That workshop sounded fun and the vanity box is really lovely!

Hi Anne. A busy but productive time for you. I wish I had known you were in Cornwall - we might have been able to meet up for a cuppa... Hope your class goes well tomorrow. They are going to be making some lovely items - that vanity case is stunning, even though this group won't be doing that.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Glad you treated yourself to some downtime during the sorting. I know how you feel but as I still have 2 of my 3 children at home there is no spare room to keep anything. It's a slow process, I wish you all the best with it all.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the free motion embroidery, I love it when I have room and time to get my machine out. Sweet pic of your Mom and a cheeky one of you.. Thanks for sharing WoywW Tracey #5

ReplyDeleteGood to see you back Anne. Looks like you had a good trip, glad you got to see your mum as well. Hope the class went well. Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #4
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, yes good to see you again, glad you’re able to go visit darling mum, and lovely vanity box very interesting. That stampin up cutter looks good seen them used, but I like guillotine, though and love my new one. Also have big A3 size one from Aldi which use a lot too on my table at moment. Am very grateful for it.

Oh nice view from the cottage Anne, and how nice to be able to see your Mumm twice in one visit. Aren’t you alike! I love the photo of you as a child, what a cute smile. Or is it butter wouldn’t melt??!! It’s nice that you manage to get crafty stuff in even when you aren’t at your desk, keeps the mojo oiled, I think!
