Whats on your Workdesk Wednesday 481


Back for another round of blog hopping hosted by Julia at Stamping Ground.

I confess I have been missing in action for a couple of weeks. Sometimes it all gets too hectic to fit everything in. I have still been creative in between and done lots of sewing and taught a few classes.

Here is my desk today, not much activity as I went to the park instead!



So you can see a pile of fabric waiting to be made into some holiday clothes and a sand bag (don't ask!). There is a new book on the left , I am hoping to have some time to get messy with paint. At the back is a box of stitched cards I have been working on.




50 all together



and this is partly the reason why I have been busy, my new Granddaughter Freya. Proof here that you can mind the baby and do some sewing.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

    That's the loveliest multi-tasking eh? Congrats on the arrival of Freya, she's rather gorgeous! And I know you said don't ask, but I have to...why are you making a sand bag??! I'm intrigued...

      I have a textile exhibition coming up next month and we are using ladders as part of our installation. The sandbags are to put on the ladders and keep them stable. Health and Safety!!

    How lovely to have a beautiful granddaughter to make things for! Your stitched cards are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for your visit, and for your good wishes for my scan result. So glad I've put the idea of crochet back into your mind! Do take it up again - it's so relaxing and grows really quickly too.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Hi Karen, What a lovely variety of cards.

    Freya is adorable. Surprised you got anything done, as I could just sit and watch her sleeping.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Happy WOYWW

    Oh baby Freya, what a gorgeous little girl! No wonder you've been otherwise occupied, stitching and babysitting! The cars are absolutely gorgeous missus, but I'm afraid they are trumped by Freya!

    What a sweet baby! You are a very talented grandma. Love the card collection! You mentioned cleaning my space may be theraputic. If that's true than I should be the healthiest crafter on the planet LOL Creative Blessings, dear. ~Kelly #31
