Whats on your Work desk Wednesday 482


Hello
Wednesday again and a little look at my desk in all it's glory!
So this week so far there has been a lot of things accumulating on my desk that I haven't got round to doing.


So there is a lovely antique bit of lace,a dyed colour catcher sheet, some lovely yarn I want to crochet something with and some brooches being mounted onto backing cards.


Thought you might like a close up of the threads.........


And the brooches......
not sure why I couldn't get a good photo of these... reflects the gloomy day outside!

So the reason I am showing my desk is that I take part in a brilliant blog hop posted by Julia At Stamping Ground. Well worth a visit.

If you have time please take a look at my website where you will find lots of lovely stitched textiles.

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!

Whats on your work desk Wednesday 478

Back on the Wednesday desk tour hosted by Julia at Stamping Ground.

So here is my desk this week.....


It doesn't look much different to last week as I have been continuing to make some summer clothes and have made myself two pairs of wide legged trousers.

You can see to the right some more notebooks having pretty covers glues to them and one of my many jars of bits. Everything has a use eventually!

I had some questions about this sewing machine it is one that is designed to cope with thicker fabrics and it certainly feels like it has a stronger motor. This is a basic machine but I think they do a fancier version. It seems to be my workhorse at the moment.

I am still stitchinh for the exhibition so most things are still secret, but here are some cards and folios I will have for sale.

hope to get round to see you all later

Have a great Wednesday!
