Another busy week, so beware this is a photo heavy post... I hope you make it ot the end
I'm on holiday this week and have had 3 days of crafting all to myself.
Don't know what WOYWW is then check it out here, it's fun, fast and very addictive.
anyway here is my desk.
This is the start of play on Monday morning
.... catching up with some ATC for a swap.
Some new stamps I brought at Make -It last week..... a bit disappointed with the show, especially the knit and stitch part....
There was a fabulous button stall at the show. Regular visitors will know my love of buttons.... and you know I'm not alone!
My little haul, plus this one I brought for Lee who was sick and could go with me on the day
Victorian hand carved shell
I started these this morning. DD3 is moving on Saturday..... finally. These little men are to decorate GD Erins bedroom as it is plain white and may be a while before they have time (or the money) to paint it.
Is it me, or do some of the gingerbread men look a bit scary...
I coloured the mouth in after I took this shot and it looks much better.
The lovely Jo jo zartdesigns. made the men for me after I saw them on her blog before Christmas,
I hope she likes what I have done with them.
I have just finished piecing my next lillybo quilts. but I am giving it a little rest so I can make a wall hanging for my bedroom.
I just need to add the flowers, pop back on Friday if you want to see it finished.... yes it will be finshed then !!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my desk at the end of play Tuesday (about 10pm thanks to my new daylight bulb, see it here let there be light ) Nearly forgot Mothers day, we are seeing them tomorrow and may not get there on Sunday due to the big move, so I had to get a wiggle on this evening..... nearly finished , I will put them together in the morning.
Well I think that is all for now.... well done if you made it to the end.
except to show this .... my next project, I brought it at the show... it will be a clock for my craft room (from the MDF man). this will take a bit longer though.
All the usual rules apply, please leave your linky no... blah blah blah.

Super post with lots to nosey about! I to LOVE buttons especially vintage ones so that hand carved one is fabulous. you should take a mould of it then make more with utee or clay and use pearlex on them.. The gingerbread men look fabulous mounted on the pennants but I agree some do look scary!!! So pleased the quilt making has got you back into sewing and it will be really special to make yourself a hanging. Re the colour choice request... I know nobody expects a reward, (you are all too lovely) but it's only a token and a way of showing my appreciation.
ReplyDeletelove Jo x
…Some lovely work going on here, Janet!
ReplyDeleteLOOVVE the buttons too so understand your feeling there too.
Re. the gingerbread man think it is where you put the black eye centres - putting them there is threatening if placed in centre of eye which is normal is less threatening - not sure if you can move them? Just a thought.. am sure the smile will make a difference as you say.
Thanks so much for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz. x #17
Wow, Janet, you have achieved a lot - love the desk! I thought the button stand was what you'd bought, I had to re-read it...!!!! have a great week.helen 8
ReplyDeleteThree days is as good as a fortnight to you in terms of what you can get done! Love the wall hanging already, what a nice idea. I didn't even see the button stall on Friday! The bunting is cute, and Erin will only think they're scarey if someone puts it in her mind!
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for the peek into your world this week. You've been busy, love everything, yes the men are a bit scary and I just love the cogs, plan on getting some from Ally Pally next month!

Love the buttons you got and the clock looks like it is going to be fabulous.

ReplyDeleteYour quilts have been gorgeous...I particularly liked the little duffle bag that went with the nautical fabric...very clever!

ReplyDeleteGreat three days of crafting. Love that clock, I have a similar one to do, must get it made as I think I have had it a year now. Love your pennants, she should be delighted. Hope the Gingerbread men don't scare her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the earlier visit, just got back from my trip.
