WOYWW 803/23

Here we are for another round of WOYWW hosted by Sarah at Sarah's Craft Shed - she who has ably taken over the reins from Mrs D. Started 15 years ago, it was an opportunity for a good snoop at the reality behind all the beautifully staged shots of finished crafting.  And for a fair amount of enabling of course.

So what gives at Morti Mansions this week?  Well, we've stalled a bit l while I ponder next steps.  You see, I did actually sit down to start tidying the craft room up, and in doing so discovered that the entire north west corner of the house has terrible mildew. We had to pull everything out and clean the walls off, and while it dries I'm contemplating how to battle this going forwards.  So the desk currently looks like this:

Our north wall suffers terribly (to be fair, so does the west but the east is a party wall with the neighbours) and we have dehumidifying tablets in special containers everywhere.  We also have a mini electric dehumidifier that does a sterling job in the sunroom when I remember to switch it on, so I'm contemplating buying something a bit beefier for the craft room. I think I'd better go out and check the gutters next time it rains heavily too.  Everyone thinks Cornwall is this idyllic, Caribbean-like part of the UK but in reality it rains 9 months of the year and this year it was only hot for 8 days.  Still beautiful though.

As part of the tidying up I corralled all the stray embroidery floss knocking around and now have a bag full to bobbinate, as well the muddle Mum left (fear not, LLJ, I intend to keep all flosses - silk or otherwise - that I got from Mum's place) and that should keep me busy for a bit. Not that my hands are ever idle though.

I won't share my stitching this time, just to be a tad different LOL but there'll be plenty to talk about next week.

Happy Hopping!
