Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

It'a WOYWDW again....

Time again to share whats on our desks.
Mine is actually fairly tidy as I had to tidy up after all the mess I made with DD's canvas.
 But here is what is on my desk

.
Since the arrival of my new lovely toy - Sidney the Sewing Machine, I have been playing around stitching things that aren't normally stitched, but then I saw a lady advertising some odd bits and pieces of fabric on FreeCycle. So off I went and collected two full to bursting bags of scrumptious (most of it) fabric which I will share between me and school for this years crafty project. So that's the Sainsburys Bags.
Also there is a box, long abandoned in the depths of my drawers, but MIL came round last night so that OH (her son) could try on the new undergarments she has made for him, and she wanted some sequins and googly eyes for his dress.
Oh and a bag of Silk Rods..... bought them on a whim from the lovely Altered Element - but now wondering what to do with them???





It was a bit frosty and cold here today and I thought I would share a photo I managed to get of my two cats, who really don't look like they fancy a day romping in the field...

so WOYKTW??



Why not share whats on your desk












Oh and just in case you were concerned about my MIL/OH and his cross dressing ways , he is about to be a Dame in a Panto in a couple of weeks!

  14. Have you seen this lady's beautiful stitched metal pieces? Well worth a look -http://www.karencole.blogspot.com/

    Cats are so expressive when they're not impressed with something - it's that sideways ears thing that makes me laugh - definitely translates as 'we are not amused'!!

  15. Oh but it's CLEAN again!! I'm feeling quite faint, that's too weeks in a row now! What the heck are "silk rods" anyway? Never heard of them! Fabric looks great, free stuff is always good, you can always "upcycle" the stuff you don't want. Love the kitties, they definitely don't look amused do they?
