Well this week has been manic with trying to get as many projects finished as I can, time just doesn't seem to be on my side at the moment and nothing seems to be getting closer to being finished ...argh!!
Anyway those that visit my blog will know I am working both upstairs on my main crafty desk - not as big as it normally is but were decorating and I have had to squeeze into a corner of the bedroom - and have migrated to the dining room table too.
So downstairs on the table is:
My Minnie Mouse birthday party invitations for Poppy's 3rd birthday at the end of the month, they would be finished but I cannot get the printer to print the wording without smudges down it so am more then a little frustrated with my printer at the moment.
I draw a template using two used ribbon reels, one slightly bigger then the other onto an empty cereal packet and then used blackberry swirl bazzill for the head shape.
The wording is meant to be on the white, I did a test print and it worked fine apart from the smudging down one side so I had a play with the printer and now it won't print them at all so am very frustrated. Will get there in the end. The pink bows are all tied and ready to go.
As requested last week to show you a picture of my normal crafting space, well here it is:
This is my desk with the sewing machine on, you can see the pile of cushions and things that are waiting to get through, but I have been asked to make some more so I have to get a move on and find some extra time somewhere to get them done as running out.
This is the stack of really useful boxes right next to my desk which are full of papers, and scraps of material in others. My sewing box is on the top - space is very limited and some of the finished cushions piled up ready for wrapping and giving away.
You can just catch of glimpse of my rolling tote next to the boxes, this si full of all sorts of things, I really need to sort it out and get it tidied there is so much in there which I havent gotten out in months so it needs a clear out.
Anyway those are my workdesk's this wednesday, I am now off for a peek around everyone elses at the stamping ground.
Thank you for popping in to checkout my desk.
Happy WOYWW

Can you believe another week has gone by? I really don't know where the time is going before you know it it will be Christmas and I won't have anything made that I have planned...argh!!
Anyway this week I have been working nights at the hospital so its been abit of an odd week but I have managed to start work on some of the presents I have planned for the girls this Christmas and this is what is on my desk.
Struggling again with the scrapping mojo which is why the sewing machine has made its way out from under its cover and been in use.
These are going to be mini cushions to go on their beds or on the window seat I have in mind to build under the window in their bedrooms. Decisions decisions.
Will photo them again once they are done but need another trip to the material shop as run out and cannot finish Poppy's at the moment.
These are Daisy's almost finished I am debating whether to add any ribbon bows or buttons etc onto some of the letters. Am quite pleased with them as I have never made anything like this before. I wander if I can make some for the sofa for Christmas.
I have such a list of things to make and get done for christmas and both the girls birthday's I'm not sure I have time for everything else and normal day to day jobs...wander if hubby will mind if I don't do them...LOL!
Right now off to have a peek at everyone's desks to see what you've all been up too :) I need some stamping inspiration as won some at a crop recently and despite having loads of stamps I haven't done much with them apart from heat embossing.
Thank you for popping by.
