Trips away from home
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…
Just to warn you - this is a very long post, but persevere, because among the many photos, there may be something that you find interesting. Plenty of different styles for different tastes! On Thursday 26th September I went to the Creative Crafts Show at the County Showground at Westpoint, just outside Exeter.…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Good stuff first... Teabag bleaching I have made some progress with my teabag bleaching project. After doing a bit more online research, I found that you can make a paste with bleach and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). Apparently the bicarb enhances the action of the bleach…
Friday - Sorry folks - with all the stress involved in my PIP assessment on Thursday, I completely forgot to upload the draft of my WOYWW post! I did wonder why I wasn't getting any comments that actually referred to it... Duh... Too much on my mind, and the whole thing has exhausted…
What's On my Workdesk this Wednesday? Same as last week - a mess. Also, like last week, my creativity has been away from the studio, in the kitchen and on my lap in the sitting room working on Phase 2 of my Eco Project. Eco Project Phase 2: Make-Up Remover Pads I have…
Today we went up onto Dartmoor for a picnic. It was a beautiful day, and I was anxious to try my new Trekinetic wheelchair on this different terrain. It has been so many years since I have been up on the moors and actually got off the road, so this was a real…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk Wednesday isn't much, but slight progress on last week! Here are my teabag stains on watercolour now that they are dry. They are ready for doodling on, or otherwise embellishing. In the meantime I've been working on my little eco project, and I'll blog about that once it's…
Today was the annual Totnes and District Show. This is the first time we have been for many years - somehow we never seemed to manage it. It was a very much smaller affair than the Devon County Show but it was still a great little show, and I was delighted to find…
No further progress on the slippers this week, I'm afraid. It's been another busy week. On Saturday we went to the fete at the village where we used to live. We try to go every year. It's always a fun afternoon out, and also an opportunity to meet up with old friends again.…
Better late than never for WOYWW! I've had a very busy couple of days. Slippers I've managed to do a few more stitches on my slippers this week. Not a lot, but progress of a sort! Brilliant news Last week I had a surprise phone call to say that my new wheelchair would…
