My medical problems and their investigation and treatment
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Still working at squares for the kitty throw. Nothing new to show really, but I'm on the home stretch with the squares, and I've got quite a full bag of them now. I've got to make 80 in all, and then it's on to the kitty appliqué…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Cat throw My new wool has arrived, and I am very pleased with it. It seems to be nice and soft, and of good quality. My hubby said he wasn't very impressed with the standard of packing, and I had to agree! However, the contents were fine.…
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? Tiny Carpet #6 Good progress has been made this week, despite having to unpick a few errors. Mapping out the design with the dark red thread. I had to unpick and redo a bit at the top because I mis-counted. When I added the top diamond, the…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Tiny Carpet #5 complete The work on this one has progressed really well this week. Last week I left you with the green partially done. Here is the green, completed (apart from the background). To begin the backgrounds for the top and bottom sections, I have chosen…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Needle Book #3, Tiny Carpet #5 Working on the front cover of the third and final needle book. Last time I showed the chart for this design: based on this Islamic prayer mat: I am steaming ahead with the embroidery. Here is the first stage completed -…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Tiny Carpets I have now completed Tiny Carpet #4, which completes the cover for the second needle book. When I left you last week, I was working on the cream thread. It didn't take me long to complete this stage. The border was now complete, and I'd…
