WOYWW 222 Do I really need reminding

Hi Peeps
Thanks for popping by.
 If you came by my desk last week, you may remember I had been sorting through some stamps. Thanks for all your lovely comments.  Any philatelists amongst you .... especially Christine (Bishopsmate ) you may want to look away at the end.
 I managed to finish the project I was doing with them, you can see it above my messy desk this week.... here it is:

Can you guess what it is yet, it might make you smile!
I brought these letters about 18 months ago and painted them a base coat of yellow to match the walls in my craft room.
Just lately I really need reminding to do this, so I thought it was time to decorate them. Close ups later.
On my desk this week I have gone back to my sewing machine, I'm making something for Erin my GD.
 Also there is the cardboard top from another of those fab big bags of buttons from Design Objectives..... £2.99 for ... Oh, hundreds... which are  currently all over the floor .... guess who did that LOL.
I will post the finished item on Friday morning because it might make you smile too.
Anyway here are the close ups of the letters

S is for stamps..... obviously

M is for masking and music


I is for Inking and ice ... it ha s a crackle glaze

L is for lace and links
 
 
E is for enamel and eyes
 

These are a few of my favourite crafty things

Just in case you don't know why I am showing my desk pop over to see head of the  desks Julia at the  stamping-ground.  she has a list of fabulous desk owners only to happy for you to have a sneaky peek at their desk and what they have been up to..... you could even join in... they are a great bunch of folks. 
If you are lovely enough to leave a comment I will visit you back.... eventually
See you on your desk real soon

  2. The letters look great nice job
    Hope there is nothing value able in that stamp collection on the 's' it's always a worry not knowing if something you thought was worthless is in fact valuable as we find on these antique shows!!!

  17. I was certain that I had commented on yours this week, but there is no sign of it so I must have been dreaming. I do love what you have done with those letters and the sentiment they spell out. Thank you for your visit and the wooden storage boxes are great, with the bottom drawer being perfect for those pens that have to be stored flat. Have a good week. xx Maggie #6

  20. Thanks for your visit earlier - I'm having a fire fitted so spending some time with my laptop in another room, hence the late visit.
    Thanks for the close up of your smile - after some examination .......I don't think there are any stamps that I don't have so you're forgiven for the desecration!!! lol
    It does look good and will certainly make you smile more when you think of all these comments....... maybe you should print them out and dangle them ........
