WOYWW 147

hi folks
Yes it's wednesday again, why does it take us by surprise every week ?
 Julia Dunnit   is Queen of the famous wednesday blog hop, so go on join in and show us your work space what ever it looks like, messy. tidy, or busy etc. etc.


Anyway, this is my desk this week:
Not much going on yesterday, this is how it looked before I started a tiny bit of crafting  (Erin, the handyman and I went to Ikea for part of the day, she slept quite a while in the buggy.
She didn't sleep in the afternoon, so no crafting for me until after 6pm.
As you can see Erin's influence is still evident (toys on the left).
I am just about to start work on the wedding invitations for D2


I made a stamp of the word Invitation in the font she wanted and I have embossed it with copper powder. On the paper at the back you might just be able to see the Wedding gecko stamp I also made.
I really should do more close up shots!
Regular followers may remember me saying I wasn't going to clear away my side desk with my AB work on.


I didn't, I just put stuff on top !
A couple of weeks ago I went on a  beading workshop at Stitch n Craft to make an Enchanter's Tassle. . .  I finally finished it this week .. so here it is.
It is not a very good picture, there are a few swarovski cyystals and pearls which do not show up very well. It is quite 'blingy'.
It is made in 2 pieces which join together, not sure where I am going to use it as it is too big for a necklace.... probably on a handbag.


 


Anyway please leave a comment to let me know you have visited and your # no. from mr Linky and I will visit you right back, well sometime in the next few days.
Have a great week and happy WOYWW

  18. the wedding invitations sound really interesting, the tassle is brrilliant, so much going on and such a great space, working when the kids are small is always a challenge but so worth it, the time you spend crafting is like therapy I find, have a wonderful week

  30. Great beadwork - lots of detail, and my favourite colours chosen!!

    I'm interested and intruiged about the gecko on the wedding invitations - what is the influence of that particular image and are they going to be incorporated on the front of the invite and in the overall design? - apologies if you have mentioned this in a previous post, but this is my first visit...

    Thank you for sharing your workspace - and happy WOYWW 147
    love and hugs

  31. Janet, your beaded creation is amazing - it'll look fabulous on a bag I think.

    Thanks for coming along to see my desk - in answer to your question - no, I haven't used the pages I removed from my AB .... yet, I still have them sitting on my desk waiting for something to happen to them - LOL. I look forward to seeing your book too x
