Issues relating to myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.)
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I continued working away at my kitty squares. I'm glad I decided to make a round number of 6 of the difficult ones. I've got a bit faster at doing them but constantly make mistakes and have to undo it. The final one, which I…
Well, what can one say about 2020? So much has been said already so I'm not going to say anything! - at least, about national and world events which I actually do have a great deal to say about, but this is not a political blog. I shall stick to my own personal…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Continuing to work on my Tiny Carpets project for making needle books. I have made very good progress on Tiny Carpet #4 this week, and began by mapping out the central motifs. This process involves quite a lot of counting, and stranding the thread across some bare…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Again, no desk - it's just a dumping ground and I haven't been in the studio except to dump more stuff, or to fetch things I need. I am continuing to work on the purple circles jumper and have nearly completed sleeve #1. With the decreases, the…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Nothing on my actual workdesk, but I still have some evidence of creativity to share.

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Well, this week, I've been quite productive! ...and also not. And messy. From this (Monday evening) (Wow, am I ever this neat?): to this, in just 24 hours. That's more like it. Back on form - messy. On Monday night I spent an extremely fruitless few hours…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal has changed since last week, I'm afraid. The scarves remain in a heap by the sewing machine and have not been touched. I have done a bit on my interactive bee cards but spent a lot of time doing some lovely stamping with…
Time for my annual review at the close of the year. This year has passed so quickly that it has left me gasping. The days seem to have flashed past me like for the hero of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine... For some of the time, it's been more a case of what…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A bit of a mixed bag this week! I have managed to do a bit of tidying in my studio. I've been doing some more experimenting with the bleaching of the teabags, sewn some more teabags, and made further progress on my slippers. I've had some problems…
