My medical problems and their investigation and treatment
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? You haven't seen my workdesk recently. This is the reason. Chaos with a capital C. The main problem is the banana boxes on the right. They contain my knitting yarns and they live on a high shelf (out of shot) and I don't want the huge effort…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Apart from emptying a couple more batches of teabags, I've had to set aside my UFOs (UnFinished Objects) for a while because I've been asked to make something. Cross Stitch Needle Books Last week I was asked if I would make a needle book for someone, and…

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? Well, I can actually say that this week there has been something on my desk for once! - apart from a messy dumping ground, that is. This is by way of a bit of a break from Celtic knots. Mandala Drawings In some ways I would prefer…
This is quite a long post because I wanted to add a nice lot of things to cheer everyone up during the days of lockdown. Keep going to the end for a bit of fun! What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? More Digital Celtic Knots This week I made texture overlays of the…
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,…
