Hello WOYWWers, Followers and All,
Because it's Wednesday, I have a sneaky feeling that you might be here to see the mess on my desk so, without any unnecessary delay, here it is.
It's become a bit of a dumping ground, hence the clutter. I blame the hot weather ... it's been far to nice to stay indoors, even for crafting. Actually, this pic was taken at getting on for midnight Tuesday, UK time, and, as you can see the piles of photos that were there last week have all disappeared so I did get something done this week, just not a lot :)) The purple paper, white card base, embossing folder and the length of fabric are all covering a work in progress which I'm not ready to reveal yet. The fabric, which has a pretty strawberry pattern, will become another sundress, this one for my cute wee great-granddaughter, Rhian. The photo envelope contains pics taken on the trips we had out last week and under that is a pile of snippets and scraps I'm intending to use ... well, some of it anyway. Off to the right side you can just about make out the latest copy of Craft Stamper ... so far I've only found time to have a swift flick through so plan to settle down with a cup of tea and read it from cover to cover pretty soon :) Other items lying around are just the tools of a crafter, even the toilet roll you can see nestling in the recycled cat food box at the back.
That's it for this week, briefer than my norm but it's hot and it's late and I have a date with a pillow ... another night sleeping on top of the bed with the window open ... not that I'm complaining, it was a long hard winter.
I'll be back to participate in the WOYWW hop after I've had some beauty sleep. Don't know what the WOYWW hop is yet? Where have you been? Seriously, if you don't know and would like to know then make your way swiftly to head desk-keeper, Julia Dunnit's blog, the
Stamping Ground, where you will find a really useful page that will bring you up to speed in no time at all ... and do join in the fun :)
In the meantime, take care everyone, have a great WOYWW and happy crafting,

I can equate with the top of the bed - too hot for anything else. I have taken the duvet out of its cover and use the cover as a cover (if you follow).
Wish we could have rain at night when we are asleep and sunshine again when we get up - thinking of he gardens here.
Look forward to seeing what is hidden.
Take care - Hugs, neet 14 xx
Good morning, Elizabeth. What lovely fabric - enjoy making the dress. What secrets everything is hiding. Do hope we shall see the end results one day :)
Have a great, if warm, week.

Oh yes definitely too hot for much indoor crafting, we took the desk outside this week, well, not literally, but some craft items!
Hope you haven't melted in the heat

Hi Elizabeth - nice fabric - I thought it was dp at first - everyone is saying how hot it is - Aust is warm days and very cool nights right now... too bad we are all shut up at work during the good bits... Have a great week - Happy WOYWW - Mxx #87
I am not a fan of the heat but I can forgive anyone in Scotland for their summer loving! Enjoy the sun and love that fabric too! Right, must go got a baby to chase...
Hello lovely fabric. I am getting even less sleep than usual. Don t like to complain but it s a tad too warm for me :-) Happy WOYWW & thanks for popping by. Anne x @ 69
Hi Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth
your desk is really neat and tidy and like a lot of people you are finding it too hot to craft.
I think we all need to enjoy this weather as much as possible and do what feels good to us
have a great day enjoy the rest of your week

Thank you so much for your visit--how fun to hear from Scotland! (or is it, hotland lately?) That sundress is going to be so sweet--I always loved making clothes for my little daughter and nieces...the little dresses just whip right up. Have a wonderful week and fun looking through your photos. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #6

Hi Elizabeth, beautiful fabric, nice & light & Summery. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz xx #50
Gorgeous looking fabric... it will make a perfect dress for a little one/ Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#78)
Hi Elizabeth, it's been unbelievably hot here, too. But I guess we're used to it.
That is lovely fabric. Just perfect for a young girl. And I can see leftovers being used in something heart related.
Hope you got sleep. I appreciate you stopping by. Happy WOYWW from # 2.
What lovely fabric to make Rhian's dress from! She'll love it:) Lucy #67 x
My mom used to make little dresses for my 2 girls when they were little, and they loved wearing them. The print on that fabric is beautiful, so I'm sure your granddaughter will be proud to wear it too. Blessings!
Very pretty fabric there Elizabeth - you'll have to make sure and show us the dress when you get it finished. Thanks for the advice about my sewing machine - I've cleaned it all out, oiled it and put in a new needle - so will have to make another bag soon to try it out!
Bernice
That will be a pretty little dress! We Brits really don't cope well with the heat, do we?! It has been pretty intense...
Hope you have a good week, Helen 19
TY for stopping by and leaving me such a nice comment. Believe it or not, patience is not one of better virtues. I can clear a room faster than a skunk with my level of patience. Thus the small number of beads. I digress though… So I love that fabric. My mom is really handy with a sewing machine, me, I don't have a great relationship with mine. We don't quite understand each other. I am working on it, though my granddaughter, who is 3, may be in college before that happens. I'm looking forward to seeing the dress when it's done. Have a great weekend. FYI…It's been hotter than HADES in th Southern US too. Thank god for AC. (((HUGS)))

I'm only just getting round to doing a bit of blog hopping to check out what my friends have been up to this week....a 6am to 9pm day with my gorgeous grandchildren yesterday sort of got in the way of blogging....but I'm not complaining cos it was a wonderful day. :-)
I think we are all finding this heat a little tiring...do you think we can have too much of a good thing?
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
A x #55
Thank you Elizabeth for stopping by already at my desk
I hope you find time to have that cup of tea and read your craft stamper and magazine from cover to cover, I enjoy reading this magazine as well I still remember by my first issue of the many years ago probably more than 10 years it was issue number three!

I'm late returning your visit so apologies for that. The material looks as though it will be a lovely little dress and I agree, if the weather is fine and warm then you should be out enjoying it! Annette #8
Its sounds like you have lots of projects underway and planned. I love the look of the strawberry fabric. Happy WOYWW! Danie #34
I know we shouldn't complain about the heat. Glad it is cooler today!
