What's on your work desk? Wednesday 442!

Apologies for being late this week and missing the last couple. I've been cracking on with my projects and had an awful cough cold last week!

So whats been happening on my work desk this week, mostly unfortunately due to the cough its been computer/paperwork writing instructions. Today though I'm finally starting to feel back to normal so I've been able to continue with my canvas based project. Those of you who have seen my last post will know that I had run of out the grey thread, unfortunately the replacement was a slightly different colour so I had to cut it all out and start the grey again, thankfully it didnt take too long. Sorry, not the best photo!

I've also been having a play with my new toy...an Overlocker which now I know how it works I love! 

Today I've set up an improvised cord maker, bulldog clips and pencils! But I'm pretty happy with how the cord had turned out and am looking forward to sewing it on tomorrow! Sorry about all the crap, I need a bigger studio to work in really but needs must!

And here's the final cord with the almost finished project.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and I will have something interesting for you all to see next week, hopefully! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!  

Thanks for Visiting!

What's on your work desk? Wednesday 439!

Hi Everyone,

Last week was half term here so I didn't think I was going to get much done but I actually managed to make a start on my next project!! I would have almost finished the embroidery part of it wasn't for running out of the black and grey threads, serves me right for trying to use up some of my thread stash!! I'm really happy with the design tho and I'm sure once it is finished and then put with the fabric it's based on it will make more sense! I have to say I love canvas work because it's easy to pick up and put down, which I did a lot, and it's quick!

I'm still waiting for the threads to arrive, hopefully I've ordered the right grey as it wasn't numbered! I'm also waiting on a new toy, an overlocker Eek! I've wanted one for ages and decided that I did need one for my project to make the edges of the fabric neater in the photos, it's quite important they look professional I think. Anyway so I decided to take advantage of the new Hobby Craft that's just opened and their 20% discount voucher! I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the amount of embroidery supplies however they do offer a good range online and I suppose they can't stock everything, as much as I wish they could!! Now if only I could open my own store I'd be set but I've time enough to do at the moment without taking that on as well!

On my work desk this week I've made a start to the next project as I don't have time to just sit and wait for the threads. The next project involves making 15 flower petals, although I have started one it's taking a while to do so I've decided to make it smaller and I might try out using two stands of cotton in the needle to see how much effect it has because I can't take hours on each one when I have 15 to make! Starting to be a bit more realistic about what I can achieve in the time I've got left as it's going to be August and deadline time in no time!!

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and I will have something interesting for you all to see next week, hopefully! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!
