WOYWW 205 what a difference

Hi peeps
Cor! what a difference a bit of sun makes, makes everyone feel better doesn't it ? It certainly does me,
 Finally spring is here.  the trouble is the workdesk has been a bit neglected this week.




I am still playing catch up with my little beaded box,  remember it from last week?
Well the leaving 'do' has been and gone, I gave Lee her prezzie along with the instruction on how to finish it.... very funny.
Nah! I brought it home again and am still doing it. .. .  hopefully another couple of evenings and it should be done.
Here is a little sneeky look at something I am working on for a workshop in a couple of weeks.
I will show more after the day.


I really have the sewing bug  (or is it bee) at the moment. I have also finished my wall hanging this week, it is to go in my recently redecorated bedroom.
I didn't intend for it to be so big but, well you know it just grew (40" x 24")


If you liked my desk and would like to see others pop over to the stamping-ground. where julia the 'chirpy chippy' will lead you around the world from desk to desk.
I am surpossed to be linking up for my mate Lucy who is away but still wants to join in, so just in case I mess up please visit her   cat loves bear crafts   anyway.
please leave a comment so I can visit you back

    I love the colours in your hanging. And also the way the log cabin strips are offset..very clever and effective, did it take longer to do that way or did you discover a canny shortcut? I like the colours in your sneaky peek too ;)

    Love the beading and the quilt, I got needle and thread out too, though not as ambitious as this...I pricked a card and stitched it. About as much as I can handle! #30

    Yep - I am into the sewing too, and it's hard to keep swapping from paper and ink to fabric. Ideally I would be doing two things not so in conflict with each other from a CLEANLINESS POV. Inky, sticky, messy hands and clean pristine fabric, that needs to stay that way, DO NOT MIX!
    :)

    Happy WOYWW!

    I have the sewing bug too! I need two or three solid days with just me, fabric, and my machine! Playing with beads is fun too though. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #96

    Oh I do like your beaded box, its going to be gorgeous. I'm sure your friend will think it was worth the wait. Is the spoon an essential piece of equipment or had you just eaten a yoghurt lol.
    Lovely wall hanging too.
    Happy art making

    Ooh - what a lovely idea. A textile wall hanging. I'll have to think about one of these for my own home.

    I think people that can sew are very clever people. I sew on a button and it pops right back off!

    Hi Janet,

    Oh, I love the beaded box!! when I doing beadwork I didn't try anything as detailed. I just love the colors that you used. Do you ever work with delicas?

    The wall hanging is beautiful! I love it. What a wonderful addition to your newly decorated bedroom.

    Thanks for visiting me. I knew it wouldn't be before Saturday that I'd be able to get around but here it is Sunday already!

    Happy WOYWW

    Wow! That box looks exquisite Jan. You have so much patience. I would have (and have had) beads all over the floor doing that.
    I asked Doris to let me take a photo and she wants to do her hair first so will be posing for me on the weekend!
    If you swing by my pad you can see the Album I was working on at the Crop on view!! Yeay!
    Hugs
