I've been making slow progress with my baby blanket over the last week. Here's a pic just incase you missed it last week as Julia was ill, hopefully she is feeling better this week.
This week I'm afraid my work desk isn't that exciting as I am going to be staying at my sisters on Friday as our husbands are away for trail marathon wales!
So I'm going to be on my own Friday afternoon at my sisters while she is at work and the guys are making there way to wales. As I can only take so much in the car what with the pushchair etc I decided that I would start putting together a jigsaw puzzle from Disneyland Paris that I bought for my dad quite a few years ago now that I want to put in my sons room. My sister has bought a frame for me so I'll be able to transport it back. I've sorted out the edge and corner pieces (in the red box) in advance to speed things up a bit, hopefully I'll get it finished!
Hopefully next week I'll have something more exciting on my work desk as I need some more cushions for my sofa (dry clean only does not mix with baby's!) and as I can't find anything I like I'm going to dye and make some myself that way I'll get what I want!
I'm going to use a technique called shibori that I learnt during my degree so that they will have some pattern on! The background of this blog is one of the pieces I did in my final year with a drawing I did over the top.
Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeletesweet baby blanket. I love puzzles but they don't like me! I have dyslexia or something when I try to put them together. Have fun at your sisters. Vickie #19

Beautiful baby blanket, and beautiful baby : ). Enjoy your time at your sisters. I love putting puzzles together, it's something I should do more often lol. Happy WOYWW! #51
ReplyDeleteHiya
ReplyDeleteI've never done a jigsaw as an adult - apart from the ones you do with kids! So I imagine that doing the one you have there will be somewhat theraputic for you. Now everyone needs some of that!
Happy WOYWW
