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...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!
I'm so glad you filled us in on your hubby being in a panto. I was wondering how to ask you about his dress politely!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting so much free fabric xx
Im nearly missed the last paragraph re the fancy dress and was about to leave very puzzled! Hugs Pam
ReplyDeleteoo can't wait to see what you come up with, and hope the panto is lots of fun x
ReplyDeleteglad you clarified the dress and underwear issue!!! The cats are adoreable and your desk is soooo tidy, bet you can't wait to play with the fabric?

ReplyDeletemy first thought was why has she got shopping on her desk - but the light dawns and it make sense!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi I posted a comment today I thought there was something wrong because your page came back on, well who's nice and tidy today then, everybody is tidy today is nobody crafting.

Love the cat picture :o) They have that shoulders up I'm not impressed look :o)
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this lady's beautiful stitched metal pieces? Well worth a look -http://www.karencole.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteCats 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'!!
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?
