WOYWW 801/21 - Where did that week go?

Blinked and missed it, that's where.  How is it Wednesday again so soon? I didn't get round anyone's desks last week either (shame...shame....) but I have every intention of doing double duty this week to make up for it hehehehe.


WOYWW - currently hosted by Sarah at Sarah's Craft Shed - is a fascinating blog hop across the desks of many crafters, a warts and all look at what's actually going on.... hehehe.... rather than the pristine display conditions you often see when folks display their beautifully made cards.  Well, not such pristine display conditions here!  Lots of mess and plenty of stitching. instead.


This week's desk is.... same as the last two.  In fact, I dare you to play spot the difference.  Go on, do!  I know that something has changed there but I'm not telling you what... hehehehe


Second desk is looking a little tidier but that's only by dint of the fact that it's normally where my sewing machine lives.  As the machine is not currently there, there's a little encroachment going on (no I did not make the project bag you see, that's a purchase from Big Stitch)


Stitching wise, I've not done an awful lot in a week to the World of Cross Stitching SAL, but the first skein of thread in the right hand box is now complete.  3 to go, and the border, then I can move down and work on part 9.


(By the way, any weird grid/mesh effects or whatever disappear if you click into the pic!)

WIPGO called Cryptids for some love, for the second time this year.  You last saw it week 790/10, and now it's out for another 5 days.  I've done 2 days so far and definitely moved it on - Nessie is now complete and I'm working on the border.


Zoom in and you’ll see pale cream moons down the right hand side - they need an outline, I think, though they’re more obvious in person.

Busy Busy Busy....


Good news - gosh, how things can change in a week - is that I have had a verbal offer of a permanent, part-time role with one of our existing clients, starting Feb, and several others have expressed an interest in retaining my services on a formal basis going forwards.  Watch this space to see what happens!  Even my colleague Jeanette is in talks with the same client and may have a job out of it too.  Just so happens that they have a couple of leavers themselves, who are in roles that would suit us.  Yay!  Fingers crossed it all pans out.


Happy Hopping everyone

One door closes, another opens - how amazing that you’ve been head hunted so quickly after the other news. Got everything crossed for you that things progress how you’d like them too. The stitching is fab, I love the Cryptids a lot but you’re right, the moons do need outlining!

fabulous news about the potential job for you and Jeanette - hope it comes off (if you don't decide for a change after all!) Your stitching looks great and however little you think you've done, it's more than me this week! Happy WOYWW Helen #3

Congratulations on the job front - though I must confess I haven't a clue what the job is. Sounds exciting though
Your Cryptids looks god but i cannot get it to expand so cannot see the moons. As is the cross stitch, you have much more patience than I have,, nowadays I cannot do slow jobs. have to have instant gratification. What does that sahy about me.
hugs, Neet 1xx

I couldn't seem to click on any photos today on your blog for some reason, but super stitch work all the same, I could just about make out the moons - LOL. Oh my word the job prospect sounds brill, hope it all pans out for you both. Hugs BJ#10

Wonderful needlework, a ever. So curious - is your house covered with your framed work? Do you gift it or sell it? You always do so much you could have a gallery wall for sure. Great news on the job front as well!
Between week for me.
Happy WOYWW.
