Morning Everyone ...
... it's still morning here but only just!
Sorry I had to miss
WOYWW last week but my grandson was home from Shetland and he stayed with us on an overnight visit. It was lovely to see him and I wouldn't miss his visits for the world. It just means I don't go anywhere near the craft room while he's here but I've made up for it since so have lots to show you.
First up is the desk and there's a swarm of bees on it. They're made with a cute wee die I picked up at The Range yesterday - more of which later. So what you see is the materials I've picked out for the project: a pile of scraps in yellow and black and some white 3" square card bases. Also out is the small guillotine and and the Sapphire die-cutting machine - it's dinky size is just perfect for the job. At the back, in the glass dish, is a little pile of dies, also from yesterday's trip to The Range.
Seriously, I only went in to buy the pack of clear plastic bags but I couldn't resist adding some card blanks and ...
... when I spotted these tiny dies they just fell into my basket - nothing to do with me, you understand!
I also nipped into Dunelm Mill for more interfacing for another project I've been working on - don't you just hate it when you run out of stuff right in the middle of what you're doing?!?! It meant a mercy dash to the nearest store which, for me, is Kilmarnock. And, of course, I couldn't resist the polka dotted fabric, sigh! Fortunately, I have a plan and it will be used up fairly soon in the project that I'll be making at the quilting classes I go to - they're starting again next week.
And finally, here's the project that needed the interfacing. Twelve little fabric trays made for the ladies who will be attending my daughter's EPP (English Paper Piecing) workshop this Saturday. I'm hoping they will be just the thing for them to put their hexagons in while they are working on them.
It's only 24 days to the
WOYWW Crop 2017 now. I'm so excited and looking forward to meeting up with the deskers who'll be there. Of course I'm in a dither as to what to pack in the tote. I'll forget something important I'm sure. Though I'm assured there's going to be a lot of chatting and not a lot of crafting. Whatever, it's sure to be fun.
So that's what's on my desk today. It's a wet, wet day, perfect for staying indoors and catching up with what's on your desk too.
Happy WOYWW to you and have a wonderful crafty week.
