What's on your workdesk Wednesday 206

Wednesday again and a chance to share your desk with the world. If you want to find out more click the button on the left sidebar (WOYWW) and it will take you to Stamping Ground and on a journey.

It has been a busy week and going back to work a shock to the system, as a result less 'making' has happened. Here is a picture of my desk.

I had a bit of a tidy up and rearranged my desk. I have a lovely new storage box that my Daughter had smellies in, this now holds some of my clear stamps. You can see a Book Hedgehog (There is a tutorial for this on my blog), I have 4 more to make. My rustic flower vases are made from milk bottles. There are some doilies which I hope to make some hanging decorations from. To the right a stack of new sketchbooks, an impulse buy from an art shop which was closing down.

No progress on the printers tray this week as I need to get outside and paint it some more, I have been using spray paint and it has been too windy. A lot of comments mentioned the 25" waist, sorry I don't have the magic answer, I am going to enlarge the pattern!!

Well, I didn't manage to visit as many desks as usual last week. I hope to see you all this week!

Rustic Vases

Busy making all the decorations for a Vintage Tea party, here are my vases made from milk bottles. They are wrapped in paper, Washi Tape, lace and string.

A sketchbook day

Had a lovely sketchbook day yesterday with the members of 02 Textiles and tutor Vanda Campbell.

What's on your workdesk Wednesday 205

Wednesday again folks and a chance to snoop round other desks and see what clever things they have been making. If you wonder what I am babbling about click on the WOYWW link in the left sidebar and take a journey around the world.

Well, I have just spent a week away from home and this week started a new job, so not much crafting activity. You can see some new (to me) Paper Artsy stamps. Some letter blanks for my tea party which I plan to decoupage. An adorable cup and saucer pin cushion which was a gift. Some collage papers I made for back grounds and some vintage patterns to make a dress ( if I can get my waist to 25 inches!!!)

Just to make you drool with envy, I bought this at a boot sale and have been painting it ready to fill the boxes with pretty stuff.
