On my desk – the fat lady…


On my desk…

reminder postcards
the handmade edition of Mankind Mag
a bit of tiny stitching
a swizzle ring
&
a little fat lady singing

This is the week of endings.

I closed the comments for On my desk…the players over the weekend.

I thank you all for playing along & letting us all have a snoop at your desks. It’s been fun.

I’ve got another fun game to play. A few lovely girls played the teaser last week & I’m hoping you’ll all play along with the next one. It is supersonically good!

absolutely flat out.

Sorry for being so absent. I’m hoping I’ll be crazy busy from now until Christmas BUT that doesn’t leave much time for this little patch.

On my desk today:

pencils for little tins of drawing fun. Don’t they look wonderful. They make me want to dig out the Derwents. I seem to remember this girl still has hers from childhood.

Another explosion.

Beginnings

& Endings

An abundance of dear fii & how cool is that softie? Collaboration between myself & the big girl. It’s “The Hearse Whisperer” from The Floods. She morphs into a bird when you flip her skirt.

Oops…I missed it.

This is what was on my desk yesterday.

- Op Shopped seersucker
- Op Shopped books. Some of those colouring book pages will make great embroidery.
- Op Shopped apple salt & pepper shakers. I think that they look a bit halloweenish actually.
- Combi van in progress. The big girl is making it for her book report on “The Floods”.

On my desk …


I’m attempting to tidy up the bombsite that was once my lovely pool room. It’s amazing how quickly things turn ugly.

I’m an all or nothing girl & today is going to be about the all. All about cleaning & tidying & sorting (maybe a bit about the opping too).

on my desk today:

  • a little glimpse of mike’s storybook wallet
  • the new issue of mixtape zine – yep that’s my page
  • op shopped fabric (with selvedge!)
  • op shopped clover carbon paper
  • couple of op shopped patterns
  • op shopped coffee maker. I really didn’t need this but too cute to leave behind.
  • a stack of op shopped pillowcases
  • cute as a button squirrel tile. It’s backed with MDF but I’m betting it’s stamped “JAPAN”.
  • empty yoghurt container which is destined for greater things – I hope!
  • op shopped cotton lycra to make more undies.

On my desk…the guaranteed update list.

To be sure to be included on this list you need to link back here in the body of your post. This is not a cheap trick to ensure linkage (I don’t care if you never link). BUT it is the only way I know for sure that you’re still playing along & I’m trying really hard to get around to everyone on this list. Thanks.
