Hello all, welcome to my first post of 2016! If this is your first visit to my blog, this is my weekly WOYWW (What's on your workdesk Wednesday) post giving you a snapshot of what I'm working on at the moment. So here's my workdesk today... You can see I've started the new year with some dumfing (needle-felting). For New Year's Eve we stayed with friends at a sheep farm in Powys. A walk around the farm on New Year's day inspired me to work on some new 'sheepy' ideas in needle-felting and embroidery. These are waiting for a bit of hand stitching to give some foreground detail... Here's a close-up of the finished one... I guess my toddler, Ben, is hoping I'll needle-felt some cows next as 'mooooo' is his word of the moment (although he also uses this to refer to moon and balloon). Also on my workdesk is the second of two pairs of fleeces onto which I need to sew the hand embroidered logos I've made for my in laws' gardening business. Here's the first pair I completed earlier this week... Getting four hand-stitched logos to look as close to identical as possible has been quite a labour of love! Well that's all for this week. I've got to get cracking this afternoon with my latest customer order, another personalised picture - 'L is for...' with a hand embroidered lion. Thank you for visiting my blog :-) Happy crafting, Max x
