Well It's Wednesday again and time to show the mess that is my desk, or this week. . . . desks.
Here is a quick tour. . . . . it's all the idea of Julia . . . pop over and have a look you never know who you will meet, or what you will find.
The piece of MDF is my heat embossing mat... very useful.
I have been looking for the dominoes for about a month, I will be making some presents with them later in the year.... I like to know where things are in case the mood takes me.
At the back is a small weaving loom and a pile of cards I made last week... not put away yet.
A pile of bits of paper and die cut off cuts.
Here's my other desk, with the project I am working on today. . . something for Easter for DD x3 I dont think they would guess even if they do visit this post. The front cover is recycled from the wedding last year, but the inside is completely different. . . here's a close up
Mmm enough said!
Last but not least, was this
A few weeks ago Julia had a giveaway for a jewellery kit she had been asked to review.
I was lucky enough to win one. I thought I should make it straight away as I tend to put things away.... and forget them.
This is what I made, I change it a bit ... well you have to, don't you?
Love the colours, especially the turquoise.
I'm not going to review it 'coz Julia has already done that . . . but I did enjoy making it and I will enjoy wearing it.
There were lots of beads left so I will (at some point) make a pair of earrings and a necklace.
Well, time to grap a cuppa and see what is happening in the crazy world of WOYWW.
See you later

Pretty card! Lucky you for winning the beads! The bracelet looks good. I managed to get a comment on Wipso's giveaway in the eleventh hour. I appear to have been the only comment requesting them. Guess we'll see. Have a great week and thanks for sharing:) Lucy #37 x
ReplyDeleteLove that quote, hope your DD takes notice of it. Glad you found some dominos, are they the minis? I saw some minis in a charity shop last week, didn't buy them as I'm trying to clear out some stuff - wish I had now.

ReplyDeleteLove the desks and the bracelet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your bag tutorial, I struggle with the lining, leaving the hole and pulling it through is genius.....must try this. Thanks x

Love the bracelet! I've seen Julia's, so know how all the little details make it! Ad I would change bits too, all crafters do that, don't they?? Your bag tutorial in the previous post was really good too...once you get in the swing, it becomes second nature, doesn't it. Making tote bags is my go to when inspiration fails. I just enjoy doing them!

Your desk was a good snoop - he, he I wonder what daughter listens to that advice!( I have a daughter too) Your Chic maker jewelry looks fantastic - I love the turquoise color too - so fashionable this year!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian

ReplyDeleteLookin' good! And I have an old cookie sheet/baking tray that has written on it CRAFTS NOT COOKING :) But it does get hot so maybe MDF is the way to go....

Fun desk! Pretty jewelry.

The bracelets are gorgeous...my favourite colours. I've got an old kitchen unit in the studio fot heat embossing. I figure that if it was OK for hot pots and pans then it should be OK for a quick bit of blasting from a gun! Happy WOYWW. Pam #21

Love the bracelet you made..of course you changed it up a bit..only rank scaredy cats like me don't!! Love the stamp you've used in DDs gift...now I'm the age and the person I am, I totally appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteWill have to look for some MDF to use for a heating mat, looks like a great idea. You did a fabulous job on the jewerly making and the jewelry modeling! You sked about my carrot card, here is one I already made if you want to see it...it's has an 'adult' sentiment, so beware! lol http://inthehillsofnorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2013/03/thimblerig.html
ReplyDeletewaving hi from the hills of North arolina ♥
Hey Janet. Great desks.
ReplyDeleteI love the bracelet. So pretty.
That sentiment is brill. Just what I tell my kids - what would Mum say? Think on that then decide, it'll keep them out of trouble! I hope.
Happy Easter and WOYWW

The MDF board is a great idea I have warped several cutting mats whilst heat embossing. I have also been on the hunt for dominoes can I ask where you managed find some? Love your bracelets, very pretty.

ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteI missed visiting desks last week. Hoping to get back in the groove this week though!
I just laughed at the quote "do what you mom says...." tee hee Where did you get that? I love the vintage look of it.
Hugs,
