Good morning all.
I had a busy week last week and spent Wednesday morning helping Tilly Tea Dance set up her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre.
Her display looked wonderful and she sold two pictures before they even made it onto the wall!
Hopefully the rest will sell quickly too
This is just a small section of her display.
I have spent the last few days preparing workshop packs and inspiration packs for her.
Yesterday I stitched brooch backs onto her little sheep brooches ready for their trip up to the Old School Gallery at Muker in the Yorkshire Dales. If you are in the area it's worth a visit as it has lots of wonderful local artwork.
Here's my desk ready for stitchy action.....
And here is my box of silky Madeira threads that I use for edging these bookmarks....
Today I will be mostly relaxing and watching tennis and football. I think I deserve a rest😃
I hope you are all well and enjoying the sport and some summer weather
Have great week

ReplyDeleteEverything looks so scrumptious you did a great job with the stall and the brooch backs. I'm even loving the box of threads. The bookmarks in a row look like full landscapes too, how cool is that. Hugs BJ#4

ReplyDeleteYou certainly do deserve a rest. It all looks brilliant and it's so good to see her doing so well. The bookmarks are lovely and the box of threads got me all excited too...sad I know. Have a good woyww. Hugs Angela x10x
ReplyDeleteLook at all your beautiful thread, that’s a sight for sore eyes! I love how you’ve edged the bookmarks, it’s so neat, especially the corners, I’m in awe of those. Tilly’s expo looks fab, I hope it’s successful for her. And sewing on brooch backs is quite a therapeutic thing to do whilst watching sport on the telly, I think I dropped a few stitches when Mark Cavendish got his record stage in the Tour de France, lol!!

I think you earned a day off for certain. Love the display of bookmarks and the display when you went to help set up. You are good to Maxine and I am sure she appreciates what you do for her. Nothing better than mother and daughter time.

The exhibition looks fabulous and Tilly's work is beautiful. What a lot of hard work goes into something like that - I hope you enjoy your well deserved break - it's tennis all the way in this house but not football, although I hope the match is a good one for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

It all looks absolutely wonderful! Those badges are so cute too! I'm thinking I really need a piece for my craft room - where does she sell on-line? Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #11, www.PrettyMyPage.co.uk
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely display for Tilly Tea Dance! And you look quite busy, the bookmarks are awesome! Yes, you deserve a rest, enjoy! Have a wonderful week! Lindart #17
ReplyDeleteI do love Max's work Jo. Enjoy your rest. Quick comments on my phone before Awards Evening. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteHello Jo, Max's exhibition is beautiful. The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre is a great name for the venue - guaranteed to tempt people in! I can't think of anything more appropriate than the sheep brooches for the Yorkshire Dales. Anytime Alan & I were driving through the dales there were dozens of sheep happily grazing at the side of the roads. I'm keeping my eye on the tennis as I type. Enjoy your well-deserved rest. Hugs, Elizabeth x #15
ReplyDeleteYour hemming is so wonderfully neat! Wishing Max lots of sales. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
