Not much going on on my desk this week .... DD3 moved at the weekend so we were all very busy there all weekend.
GD Erin was very full on today, so didn't get anything done, except a card her Mum asked me to make to say thanks to their conveyancing solicitor.
The canvas at the back, where you can see my reflection...... is for the patchwork I am making for my bedroom (remember I promised to finish it by friday).
Also some cute dog fabric for my next, lillyboquilts. in an appropriate paper bag.
This was taken at lunch time.... I have just finished making the card so lots of alphabet stamps and inks.
It's not really finished .... well you didnt think it would be did you... the yoyos' are not sewn on yet... but you get the idea!!
Here is the finished wall hanging and a close up below
Below is the wallpaper the patchwork is based on
Well if you have any spare time pop over to see Julia ..... the inspiration for all this nosiness. pull up a chair, grab a coffee and fly around the world.... it's great fun.
Don't foget to leave your Mr linky no and I'll get back to you..... eventually

love the pinwheels you're making for that canvas, it's already fab...and I totally get that whilst you're doing everything for everyone else, your own stuff really slides down the list! And just to set the record straight...the daylight bulb WAS in my lamp when I took the wonky colour picture, it always is. The other bulb on my desk today is a £10 halogen 'daylight' version and although tried, never used because it's not as good as the blue bulb!
ReplyDeleteSuper project, perfect colour combo and so effective! Are those yoyos the same as Suffolk Puffs? Nice to see you doing something for yourself after doing so much for LillyBo too!
ReplyDeletelove jo x
Your desk looks full of crafty things and your hanging is just gorgeous.

Oh wow Janet, that wall hanging is lush! The colours are beautiful and making all those yoyos is a labour of love. Hope you managed to miss this week's dose of snow - we had a fair bit on Monday but the sun is shining now. Happy Wednesday. :o)

ReplyDeleteOh clever you! That hanging will look stunning with your wall paper.x Jo
ReplyDeleteWow love your hanging, great colours and design! You seem to be full flow creative! My desk is bare today, went to footy last night so very little will be done and a bare desk is a bit boring! Take care Zo xx
ReplyDeleteGreat wall hanging! I love making and using yoyos. They are addicting. lol!
ReplyDeleteYour hanging is gorgeous. I can see how you were inspired by the beautiful wall paper. I've never seen yoyos before. Will have to investigate further.

ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteWow - love the yo yo wall hanging. I like your rendition of the wallpaper. One time I made my aunt a yo yo vest. I don't think I have the pattern any longer.
