Me and Mr Dunnit are in Mallorca. Actually, unless you’re one of the early bird readers, technically we are making our way back today. I did actually get the embriodery out of that bag, and added a few stitches. It’s got to be the slowest growing of any of my intended or actual projects. If nothing else, it proves I have a bit of tenacity about me!
As for so many, the sudden deterioration and subsequent death of our beloved Queen has been deeply affecting. I understand the wheels of State and the historic reasons for such quick declarations concerning our new King, I get it all. But I feel deeply for the Royal family; to dress up and be public at just a time when a duvet day involving tears and snot would be such a good thing…it’s all a continuation of Elizabeth II’s utter commitment and example.Please join the constant exposure of Workdesk, it’s easy and it’s just a breather in your week.
Indeed Julia I don't know how they do it. Safe journey home. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous embroidery bag, think I know who made that one - LOL. Adore the bright colours in your embroidery and your tenacity. Glad it isn't just me who isn't at my desk this week, although mine is more sofas and a tribute to HM The Queen. BJ#1 - this is what you get for waking early with an upset tummy methinks.
ReplyDeletethe view your embroidery had is just stunning! I so agree about the speed of which things happen for obvious reasons, but I feel for them, indeed. Safe journey home xx Helen
ReplyDeleteOne day that embroidery is going to be absolutely beautiful! I continue to take crafty stuff away with me - but don't always get around to it!!
ReplyDeleteSafe journey home - hope you enjoyed the break!
Good morning Julia. Hope you had a great holiday and your trip home went smoothly. It was very sad news about the Queen, she was such a hard working lady. Happy WOYWW. Angela #7
ReplyDeleteI remember that project :) Just a quick 'un as the window guys are due in a moment. No crop for me, I fear, but if you manage a zoom on the day it would be lovely to at least wave HI!
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the sad passing and the difficult time the family has. That extra layer of "stiff upper lip" must take a toll.
happy WOYWW hugs - off to begin a day of endless tea and coffee making...

I’m loving the progression of the embroidery....well done you for not giving up.
ReplyDeleteI’m with you on the treatment of the royals...the standing in state around their mother’s coffin and the public walking past them was nothing short of inhumane...as you put it I would have been all tears and snot!!
Hugs,

Goood morning Julia 🤗 hoping you both had a fab time away ( love the view) safe travels homeward bound. I adore your embroidery and watching it pop up as it evolves ... most definitely a work of heart ❤️
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news about the Queen, how my heart goes out to the family having to be in the public eye at such a heartbreaking time for them all.
Sending lots of love and hugs your way Tracy #13 xxx
Coming home with your crafting untouched is usually the sign of a good holiday. I understand how people feel about the Royal family having to do the things they have but all this will have been planned by the queen in advance unfortunately, so I guess they are following her wishes. Safe journey home and happy woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteOoh loving your embroidery and hope you had a fabulous break. Yes i know what you mean re the royals, presume their grieving time starts after monday, i take my hat off to them for their resilience throughout
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said Julia, I don't know how the Royals do it. I love your embroidery - those colours are stunning. Hope you had a fab holiday.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to do what the royals do. Hopefully they have some time to themselves to grieve. Your trip sounds wonderful, and time to embroider is always good, it's looking good! Safe trip and have a great week, Lindart #17
ReplyDeleteHow long has that embroidery been going? Years and years! Hope you had a good break and have come back rested.
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 6 xx
Hope you’ve had a good holiday Julia. Your occasional embroidery is looking fab!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I don’t know how they maintain that stiff upper lip when they’ve just lost their mother.
Safe trip home and happy WOYWW
Hugs

Love your expression of 'tears and snot' - sums up how I am at times perfectly. I think I fill up every time I see Princess Anne, her grief is written so plainly on her face but she remains stoic for the public as she has been brought up to. They all do but her face gets to me each time.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope the short trip to the sun has helped you both get some real rest time and the sunshine has helped the bones rejuvenate. Love the embroidery you are doing, it doesn't matter how much you do, it is growing with every stitch.
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
Hope your journey home is safe. Love the view in your first photo, rather calming. Your embroidery is beautiful, love al love all the colors.
ReplyDeleteYour Queen was such an elegant and gracious lady. She will be missed world wide.
