Thank you for your return visit to my blog last week, Marit – so glad you enjoyed seeing the making of the needle books. I’m getting on well with #3 now.

Hope to see you on this week’s WOYWW.

So nice to see your “office”, Marit, and one of the original documents of the kind that you work with. I still have not yet used the wonderful “blotting tissue papers” from your work that you sent to me. In my mind, at least, they are very precious! I do plan to use some of them as elements in some collages but have not done so yet. Love the Covid piece in your journal. I would say it is a good expression of how we all feel during these strange, isolating times! Here, in the US, we are all (many of us, anyway) very nervous about the eventual outcome of our upcoming Presidential election. Right now it feels a lot like we are drifting in a boat with no rudder, that is also taking on water! Three weeks since my surgery, my knee is still swollen but feeling better, and I am able to walk most places using a cane. Hope you are able to continue going to your wonderful job. Best wishes, always!

Oh Wow! Marit, what a brilliant job you lucky lady. Loving the journal pages too. Sorry I’m late this week. I spent so long outside yesterday gardening that I just got behind with the desk visits. I think all we can hope for with the Virus is that they come up with the vaccine. Wishing you a happy belated woyww, Angela x19x

My goodness you must be very skilled at your job, and I really hope for your sake that your office doesn’t have to close… although I’m sure you would use the time industriously on your own projects. The ones you show here are awesome! It’s a very strange time in our world isn’t it!
Stay safe and take care.

Wow, Marit, what sort of a plum job is that? What a privilege to be handling such rare and beautiful manuscripts for a living, and also to be preserving them for future generations. The studio where you work looks absolutely magnificent. I love your latest journal page – she looks suitably shocked lol! Nice layout too.

Happy WOYWW,

Are you allowed to take photographs of your restoration projects for using in your artworks? That would be a fabulous idea. It must be a very difficult job when the paper is already brittle. Quite awesome thinking of the age of these things. happy WOYWW Angela #29

Sounds like a fabulous job to me, always rewarding to work with something close to your heart. Super corona chronical and layout, I know how time consuming DT work can be, make time for you & stay safe as times get a little tougher. Happy WoywW Tracey #11

Morning Marit, loving the shot of your work studio – wouldn’t it be wonderful to have all tat space! Your job sounds fascinating, I d hope you don’t get sent home again. I think that here in London we will be under tighten restrictions soon as well – must try and get a couple of quick visits in to mum before that happens! (and get my hair done). Thank goodness for a consuming crafty passion – if I didn’t have this I think I would have thrown in the towel ages ago!! Fingers crossed for you, Happy Wednesday, stay well, stay safe, Cindy #21
