What's on your work desk? Wednesday 460!

Hi Everyone,

Really need to try and get these posts written out on a tuesday evening, time just seems to fly once its little mans bed time!

As you can see I've been sticking to my work schedule and have moved on to another box this week, the second to last one! It seems like the last one was made in a flash and this one is going just as fast, I've actually made more progress than the photo. I'm sure there will be something that slows me down later tho as this is slightly more complicated with a working lock. I think this will probably be my favorite, even though I actually hated Alice in wonderland (Disney) as a child. I was inspired by the revival of Gilmore Girls, in the last episode of A year in the Life, when one of the Characters has an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding! (its been out a while but I don't like spoiling TV or films for people).

Here's a little snapshot of the embroidery on the last box. Its Easter holidays for two weeks so not sure if I will get time to do much stitching or just written work. Still have a day and a half of child free time before then so I'm sure I'll have some progress to show you on my latest box!

Oh and we just managed to scrape enough parents at our EGM on Monday to dissolve the old pre-school charity to after Easter it should all be over and done, hooray!! 

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and hopefully I will have made plenty of progress on the penultimate box this time next week! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!  

Thanks for Visiting!

Thanks for all your lovely comments last week,  I was told ages ago that if I reply to your comments  on my page that you might not get them....hence why I've replied here, is that still the case? If so I will try this week to reply in your own comments section when I look at your blogs!

Committee things have calmed down a bit but I've had two meetings in a week (one unofficial with a nice glass of prosecco). Unfortunately its not turned out how we all thought and it is definitely not just about fundraising, despite us being told that. It turns out that if the pre-school is unincorporated that all members (parents) but especially committee members are in fact financially liable....👿oh yep what a nice present the previous committee and management left us (we also have a new manager). So we have between the eight of us spend the last 7-8 months filling out lots of paperwork to change the legal status to a CIO, the final part of which was registering with Ofsted as a new setting...we were told it could take up to 25 weeks but because we also had a very good inspection under the old pre-school in January they approved it in two weeks...which lead to last weeks rushing around to get things done with plenty of time by the end of this month! Still at least it will then all be over and we can celebrate an awesome achievement! Probably with plenty of Prosecco!

Enough about that! Margaret, no I didn't paint the fabric, its been sat in my stash waiting for the right project for about 8-9 years 🙈, it is lovely tho and I think its actually an Ikat weave. Unfortunately while I have finished it I cant share the finished piece (so I've shared the back instead) so you will have to wait until the book is out, sorry! I've now got a deadline to finish the final three boxes, so I can concentrate on writing, in the next 6-8 weeks (depending on how Easter goes I will probably spend more time writing) so fingers crossed! So on that note on my work desk today is my plan for the next box which has changed several times since I first started, mainly because I need to speed things up! I absolutely love working in my new office! Still have several boxes of fabrics in our bedroom to sort out into the white unit but its livable for now!

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and hopefully I will have made plenty of progress on the next box this time next week! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!

Hi Everyone, this weeks post is going to have to be a very quick one. Firstly I want to say thank you for all your comments on the last post, I really wanted to get back to you all at the weekend but something urgent came up at the end of last week so once the stress has passed I will get back to you all, I really do appreciate it and look forward to checking out all your posts! This is why today's post is going to be short as I've been tied up with other things, lets just say for now don't join a pre-school committee without knowing the full implications, I'll be Proud once all the hard work is done and I'm grateful that the other members are all supporting each other but it certainly wasn't a stress I needed, definitely not just fundraising!

So despite that I have managed to progress with the silk shading but for today it might have to remain as it is on my New desk 😢, hopefully I can find some time at the weekend but I'm doing a class on Sunday to make a silver ring or two, not with the silver Clay but with sterling silver so I am very much looking forwards to that after this week! oh and the office is nearly there, I just have to sort the boxes of fabrics into the new white storage unit and tidy my shelf and desk.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and hopefully I will have finished my silk shading this time next week and with less stress going on! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!  

Thanks for Visiting!
