What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - WOYWW 273

Good Morning All

Apologies for not being around to do any WOYWW desk hopping last week - a case of too much to do and too little time! Happily, I'm back to show and tell this week so without further ado here's my desk today.

A few bits and bobs on the desk this week.

Front from the left: just edging into shot is the homemade scrapping kit I'm working with at the moment - progress is slow but sure; next to that is a pack of tissue wrapping paper to remind me of an upcoming birthday. Under the tissue, a craft magazine with the free stamps and paper pad that came with it ... couldn't resist it even though the last thing I need is even more pretty patterned paper. Then there's my current crochet project, an amigurumi penguin - you can just see his wee yellow feet by the hook. These little creatures are so quick and easy to make and ideal for using up scraps of yarn. I found a ton of patterns on the Lion Brand website.

Back from left: much as usual - black ink pads; the tray of reinkers and equipment for creating inky backgrounds; a selection of Colorbox ink pads - there to make even more of the flowers I posted about recently; a wee selection of stamps I have plans for; the jar of wood veneers that seems to have taken up permanent residence; a post-it pad - so useful to have out; and a tin of embellishments - also part of the homemade scrapping kit.

Finally, before I go, here's a photo of the finished blanket that I mentioned in the post I did for the Creative Blog Hop . It's intended for the youngest of my football mad grandsons. He's a devoted fan of Celtic FC so it's in the team colours, checked on the official website. I'm thinking that even though he's a lad, and therefore not into crochet, he will enjoy using the blanket to keep his knees warm while playing the video games he seems to enjoy so much :)

Don't know what WOYWW is all about, pop on over to Julia's Stamping Ground where you can find out all the info and loads of links to many more desks. Me, I'm going to have some lunch, admire the EM's new man cave for the umpteenth time since it installed this morning, and then spend the rest of the day checking out all the WOYWW desks on show today.

Happy WOYWW and Happy Crafting,
