GONNA GET RIGHT BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED FROM
Sorry I was absent last week, there was just too much to do before I left the next day to go and stay with Julia - and I knew I wouldn't have time to return comments. It was a whirlwind of a break but really great to have a good catch up with me ol' mucker!
This is last week's desk:
I'd been asked to make a jewellery roll and the Debbie Shore pattern I'd originally picked just didn't fit the bill. So, to t'Interwebs where I found a blog that had altered a Cath Kidston idea. Instead of being a roll, it folds in thirds and closes with some of my favourite poppers. This is a protoype for my friend Lynne.
There's a lined pocket at the top, a strip of lace to hang dangly earrings from, a stuffed roll to put rings on, which has a velcro closure at one end and a pocket at the bottom. The fabrics are really lovely, I enjoyed making this one!
And here it is folded up - more useful than a jewellery roll which tend to get creased. I might make a couple more of these for the WI stall at the town Christmas evening.
G and I had a lovely stroll around Salisbury last Friday and I may have gone into a fabric shop or two ;-) I also got a couple of balls of glittery yarn to crochet some flowers to make into brooches:
They turned out ok, the red/green/white version is really lovely especially with a suitable button sewn in the middle!
Right that's it, short and sweet today - don't worry, it won't last......
Have a great week!
