Want a smile on Friday 91

Here's an 'Annie ' for you today .... Guess what I am sewing.... I made a small mis calculation on the amount of fabric I need ... And I'm using the wrong type too so I am having to line it ... Hence the miscalculation .... Anyway can you guess what it is

It made my work mates smile when they saw the pattern pieces ... Naughty ladies

Happy guessing. 

If it made you smile pop over to Annie's for more  fun

Hi Happy deskers
 ..... and the unhappy ones........ hopefully visiting a few desks will cheer you up. See them here    stamping-ground. Head hopper Julia will be sure to put a smile on your face.
Anyway I hope you are here to see my desk....... I wonder what's on it..... lets see shall we.

This is taken just as I have stated working on my latest journal page the prompt was to.... draw where we are.... I'm drawing my  journal being worked on..... Mmm very original !
Under the lid .. top left is some wool I have been knitting with, but cannot show yet.
Bottom right .... the green glasses box ... still unfinished .... and likely to stay so as I have because I have started making for ..... you know what!
Under the DI foam pad thingies is a pile of poppies to sell for  British Legion........ Talking of poppies ... 

Handyman and I went to the Tower of London.... so beautiful they have to be shared.

Finally on my desk  ( well it was...... but now removed) is this .............

This fantastic x stitch was made for me by my mate Lucy at work.......  cat loves bear crafts. we have a shared love of all things Minion............ but this takes the banana..... she even designed it herself.
Anyway that's enough gibberish from me (minion speak)
Please leave your Mr Linky no. so I can find you ...... I am often on the move  when blogging( that explains the strange spellings)  so it can be difficult to find you without it.
Have a  good Wednesday 
Janet

WOYWW281 sewing smelly socks

Hi Deskers
Oh I did enjoy that...... the celebrity Sewing Bee.... (I am writing this Tuesday eve) worth watching if you missed it and there is another one on Thursday.
I digress........ I know you are here to see my desk..... well maybe!
If not..... do pop over to Julia's to see what it is all about at the   stamping-ground. its great fun and very addictive.
Thanks for all your lovely comments last week about my daily photos..... no such luck this week there hasn't been much movement at all...... except this . . . . . .

 

My Mums' old sewing machine I use in my craft room for simple projects.... like the smelly socks I have been making to put on my folksy shop.
It is very basic but it sews well and I also use it for free machine embroidery.
To get it on my desk I had to perform some complicated manoeuvres.....aka  shove it to the left.

If you look closely you can also see the results of my dying..... no not that sort...tied fabric dying...... I made some fat quarter bundles. love the patterns on these.
On the far right is the still unfinished glasses box for my (still broken) desk glasses... must finish .... soon.

 

No they aren't unwashed .... they have lavender in them and are tied up with ribbon.... cute huh!
Anyway that's me done for this week.....  thanks for dropping by...., please leave a comment and I will catch up with you in the next few days
