WOYWW 14

Well, who would have thought that a simple idea, to show and tell your work desk each week, would be able to keep going for fourteen years? The answer, of course is, that it is far more than that. 

Our WOYWW activities have grown and developed over the years. We are a band of sharing, caring crafters and some wonderful friendships have been forged.

So a big thank you to Julia and also Jan, who have kept the whole show going over the years. We really appreciate it.

My ATCs are made using some beautiful, hand embroidered, table linens. I have kept them for years. And decided it was high time I used them. I hasten to add that none of the beautiful embroidery was worked by me! 

Much of the linen was stained or damaged so I didn't feel too guilty about cutting them up.

I was going to work over the pieces but once I had set them on the linen backgrounds they looked almost like a little botanical illustration. I thought the simplicity added to the beauty of the work.

I hope you like them and Annie and I have posted them with this little poem to the 14 folk who asked.

We want to share our craftiness

With all our work desk friends

We both cleared drawers and cupboards

To stash bust our odds and ends

Twiglet found linen napkins

With embroidered corners - sweet.

Wipso used her keyrings

For a perfect little treat

Thanks for all your friendship

And how you love to share

Your ideas and your artwork.

It's good to know you care

I hope WOYWW 14 is a happy one for you all!

Best wishes.
