Meh..I am a bad patient. I have had a rotten cold, that has turned into a chest infection..so I am moaning and blah.
Anyway onto happier things - WOYWW..yep one whole entire week has passed and it is time to join Julia and the gang over at Julia's blog Stamping Ground for the weekly desk nose.
So my desk is quiet after an action packed weekend of crafting..there was supposed to be sewing done, but I realised I was missing the right coloured threads. On my desk you can see, my most fave thing - my notebook..if I lose him I will literally die, new stamps, stencils and embossing folders that were on sale and are mini and perfect for OWH. T-rule..I love this newish addition to my kit, cards for posting, a distress ink blending tool that should have been put away, a try out of new sparkle embossing powder - more practice needed and ME!
Here is a pic of what I should have been sewing..Ma bought me x2 new tops, but because of my large boobies, they didn't fit, so cue modify / enlarge mode - cut out x3 panels (sides and back) and insert contrasting lace..

To finish up this week here is a Thank you card, made for the Mr & Mrs at the second wedding. The lettering is a Tim Holtz Sizzix die and all the papers are scraps - yay me!

Happy WOYWW!

ReplyDeletePost travel colds are the worst!!! I blame the airlines. I love how your altering the tops; I keep hoping I win the lottery so i can hire a tailor to adjust my whole wardrobe! (I break out in hives threading a needle; my sewing mother is so disappointed) I'm in awe of the tidiness of your desk; have a great week and I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! So sorry you are not feeling well. I like your tags on the photo of your desk. I would like to know how to do that. So much, I can't do with my Blog, because I can't figure it out. LOL You are doing amazing things to that top! TFS #37

That top and the card look great. I hope you shake off the infection to be able to enjoy the weekend. Hugs, Chris # 29
ReplyDeleteHi Claire! I hadn't had a chance to visit you last week so I am here now... a week later (but there's no new woyww-post from you yet, so I comment on this one) I hope you feel better by now?! I love the way you alter that top, using lace. Great idea! Happy creating and happy woyww! Marit (#53 on September 10)
