WOYWW 178

Where on earth has that last week gone? It's crazy how fast the time is going.

I can't believe I am going to show the following pictures but as it is Wednesday and I must share my desk with you I am going to be brave and show you the dining room table as that is where I am currently working.

My desk upstairs is currently being taken over by cushion manufacture for presents and friends so the dining room table seemed a good a place as any to work.

As you can see from the above picture I have the laptop out trying to read emails etc, Poppy's colouring book and little miss chatterbox plate from her afternoon snack is there. My notebook which is my life , it has everything in and if I lost it I wouldn't be able to function, the calculator is there as that is Poppy's laptop and where she does her work.

The other side of the laptop is forms to be completed for a nursery place, after a visit to a couple, then my crafting. The red folder is the makings of my christmas journal, the black and white bag has got dies in which I have borrowed and the other bits are shown in the picture below.

The mini book is of my graduation which I am just finishing 7 years after I graduated, then some christmas gift tags in the making, the pink cuddly is the makings of a homemade teddy for the girls for christmas, I had hoped he would be bigger but Poppy loves him, I just need to finsihing sewing and attaching his other arm and leg.

I am all a mess this week but will try and be much more organised next week and show you something abit better and more organised.

Anyway I am off to desk hop at the Stamping Ground, wishing you all a very happy Wednesday.

WOYWW 177..

Well this week I haven't really been using my desk to craft, this is because its up in the bedroom and I am in the middle of sewing some more of the little cushions for friends so I have migrated to the dining room table for my scrapping much to hubby's disgust! lol

Anyway I am working on my christmas journal and this is the start of the pages,

As you can see this is a small selection of items for my journal, I am using the Teresa Collins Christmas Cottage collection and I love it, am abit of a traditional girl when it comes to christmas so this is right up my street.

Bear with me but keep an eye out for more pages as they get done.

I am now off desk hopping or just being generally nosey to see what you have all been up too :)

Cushions, cushions, cushions...

I didn't think my little name cushions would be so popular but have been making more for my friends recently and they have gone down so well. 

Here is a picture of the next set I have made:

Now onto the next set and finishing off my advent calendar for the girls.

Thank you for popping by.

WOYWW 175

I can't believe another week has gone by it is crazy how fast the time is going, anyway this week I have put the sewing away, it will have to come back out soon as in the middle of quilting an advent calendar for the girls and making some more cushions for some friends. Will photo these when in progress as I know it will be mess everywhere.

This week I am mainly christmas crafting, I know its October but I need to start early I have so little kiddie free time I have to make the most of what I do have. We have all been battling with a cold this week and been working nights at the hospital so been a tough week but we're getting there.

Anyway here is my desk and what I am up too this week. I have got the alcohol inks out and am trying to recreate something I saw on TV a couple of weeks back.

I have put the design onto a black and white card to see how different they both look, these aren't finished yet as need to get the BS out, but this is currently on the floor, I promise to try and take a picture of the whole corner of the room one day but at the moment it is horrendous and needs a proper sort through.

My sewing machine is still out as in the middle of making more cushions for friends from my earlier post.

Anyway hope your all having a lovely WOYWW am now going to pop across and check out some of your desks :)
