First of all, sorry not to have got round to visiting everyone last week. I seemed to have a very busy week and time simply ran away with me and I got behind with everything. I hope I'll do a bit better this week! What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I'm still working…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? UFO time! Black sideways-knit jumper The black sideways-knit jumper is now finished, washed and ready to be put away for the winter. As predicted, the rather stringy-looking new ribbing has fluffed up and softened in the wash as the wax was removed from the yarn. Despite my…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? As before, there isn't anything worth reporting on my actual desk. This week, on the creative front, I have been concentrating on my knitting. Knitting The black sideways knit UFO This is coming along nicely. I blocked it out on my blocking mat, in an attempt to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A couple of Florabunda "Thank You" cards that I made by printing the design on the computer, and then colouring with my Tombow markers. The monochrome one has a very subtle touch of purple which unfortunately isn't showing well on the photo. My actual workdesk hasn't seen…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Celtic Knot Motifs This week I've been working on the Celtic knot motifs again, this time using the Procreate drawing app on the iPad. I wanted to try and create a metallic gold look and think I've semi-succeeded! This is the first rendering. I experimented a bit,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Teabag Bleaching I've been bleaching teabags again! You may remember a few months ago I had virtually given up on this project because I couldn't get a satisfactory result. The other day I had a new idea - to use the Clorox Bleach Pen on the wooden…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I have to say nothing much has changed on mine this week. Still the same detritus mid-project, working on the auto-opening window cards I was doing last week. I got my friend's card off a day late because the glue wasn't dry, and it took an extra…
