WOYWW 253 Welcome to my world

Hi Peeps
Ok, so the last few days have been  totally crazy at fairy thoughts grotto.
I won't  bore you with most of it because you've come to see my desk ... right.
Julia says keep it brief because there are a lot of busy desks to visit and she's right, there are..... see the details  here
Anyway, My desk:

 

On the left some stash from Fridays  hobby show at the Excel in London.... a good day but took a while to get there! I love the Indian block print designs.... not sure when I will get time to use them though.

 

The brown roll thingy is bark fabric... check out these cute children's shoes made from it.

 

 

 

 On the right is the beginning of my next page for my Documented Life project, where we have to include our name, not sure where I am going with it.
In the middle is the little bit of actual crafting I did.... A card for  DD2 and SIL, they finally  moved into their new home at the weekend, it was a quick make, but I quite like it.

 Last, but definitely not least .... please meet my gorgeous new Grandson

Born Sunday morning weighting 8lb 13oz and 100% gorgeous.

 Thanks for visiting my desk..... If you leave your number I will visit you back.
Happy Wednesday
Janet

WOYWW 252 say hello to x cut

Hi Peeps
Yay I'm finally feeling better and I have  even gone back to work, no that's good too, there is only so much sitting around doing nothing I can cope with.
Anyway moving on .... you probably came to see what's on my desk, If you came via Julia's  stamping-ground.  that is. If you didn't.......well, hop over to see what it's all about.

Please meet Mr x cut, I have been having trimming issues for a while now so I decided I should invest in a proper guillotine and this one came well recommended and has good reviews...... so here's hoping.

On the left are some paints which need to be put away after my little helper had finished with them. If you visited last week you may remember my GD painting at my desk.
Do you want to see how she finished it this week.... oh go on....... its worth a look

For my Documented Life Project this week (or last week still catching up) I had to ask someone to draw in my journal so I could finish it.... I asked 'handyman'
This was the result..... not what I expected.

 

I think I look a bit grumpy... and old, but actually I hate to admit it's not a bad likeness.... not sure how to finish it, needs to be thought about.
There has been lots of other crafting on my desk this week but its wedding stuff and not for sharing yet... sorry!
So that's me done for this week, If you leave your number I will visit you back .... I'm nosey too, you see.
Happy Wednesday

WOYWW 251

Hi peeps
 Oh, the 5th WOYWW blogaversary is getting closer and I haven't  even thought about my ATC's yet as you will see on my desk..... nothing being made.... lots of mess so at least less boring than the last few weeks..... Ta Dah!

Hop over to Julia's stamping-ground.  to see what other happy crafters are up to. 

Here you can see... Left to right

Some handmade bias binding, old contact lens cases (great for mixing small  amounts of paint, inks etc), some MDF blanks awaiting .....altering!

The big pile of ribbons has been tipped out of its box, looking for a tiny piece of white ribbon to go on DD3 wedding dress, no .... I'm not making it. 

Anyway that's me done, well except for my little helper this week:

The happy painter

And finally my DLP journal Page for this week, we had to cut up a magazine and add to it. Some of you may know I am very fond of haberdashery .....and craft magazines, so here's the mix

I'm away to the seaside for a couple of days ... I will try and sneak a bit of blog hopping when handyman isn't looking, so you aren't forgotten I will visit you back, if you leave your number that is. 

Happy Wednesday

Janet
