My work desk this week (trusty kitchen table) holds the three minions I am knitting. All bodies finished and awaiting sewing up. I have written out the instructions now so I can post these when they are finished. If you don't already know about what's on your workdesk visit woyww and have a look - there are some truly amazing blogs out there and some very organised workdesks.
The 'poof' is my footstool where I sat up late last night and early this morning knitting arms.
I couldn't sleep and there was nothing on tv. So I knitted and knitted and knitted and then went back to bed. When I got up this morning I had knitted seven arms. Now I have never been brilliant at maths but even I know that three minions need two arms each equalling six in all. Oh well I have a spare one now. Anyone in need of a minion arm?
Smash book

Lots of the blogs I have read recently have been mentioning smash books. I researched it and decided I wanted to make one. So I bought a small sketch pad from Paperchaase (50% off), some stickers, some lovely gel pens and some write on sticky tape. How exciting. I write a diary anyway, not everyday, but whenever I have anything to say. I love sticking things in my diary like ticket stubs, photos, clippings etc., and I think that's what smash books are about.
I based mine on ideas of crafts, things that have happened and recipes. If I have got this all wrong please let me know. (but I have had loads of fun anyway).
On Friday I have got a Cinderella cake to make for a 4 year old girl. Wish me luck.
I will post again when minions and cake are finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing what a minion is :-)

Oh! Those Minions are SO cute! Now if only I could knit! LOL on the 7th arm! Maybe an experiment gone awry! Love the smash book too. Thanks for sharing-Amanda #45
ReplyDeleteSeven arms - hilarious! That really made me laugh. Your smash book looks lovely; I'm making mine but I really need to get a shift on or it'll just be adding to the pile of stuff I want to put IN it!

Not sure what a minion is so hope you show when complete.
ReplyDeleteLove the creative pages on your Smashbook although to me being an oldie they are scrapbooks but who's going to argue over a name, lovely work. Thank you for sharing.

I could probably knit a small square (Just), you could have one with a spare arm of course! Good luck with the cake!! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I really undestand the 'smash book' concept ...but maybe it doesn't matter ...I like the sound of what you are creating. Good luck with the cake ...kids love cakes no matter what ...lets face it we try to impress the parents with a perfect one lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy knitter you are! All those arms - lol. Your smash book looks interesting too.
