My workdesk, this Wednesday is:-
This week I have mostly been knitting and crocheting - what's new?
A Tea Cozy for my friend (the one I am indebted to for my Adele tickets earlier in the year)
It's a little bit "Woca Mola". In our house, this means 'freestyle' as in the song "Freestyler, woca woca mola" - actually the song goes "Freestyler Walk up to the microphone" but I am well known for getting my lyrics wrong in songs. Have I lost you yet?
Moo's Cardi which I actually started at the beginning of this year. I got it out so I could get it finished - just need her help a little as I sewed it together and then realised one side was different (and she noticed).
My blankie - now covers Small beautifully - so much so that he has decided he wants one for his bed, and if he has one then Smallest has to have one too. They can wait!
A pile of Christmas presents which I can't show because I don't want the recipients to see. How do I get around this? I want to show what I am working on but don't want to spoil the surprise - any ideas?
More corks and Kornisse being worked on.
My Smash book and the lovely little labels I bought in a Thrifty store in Canada - would these look cool in handmade gifts for my two boys? They say "Handmade by Mother".
I have even been handsewing......... (shhh it's a secret!)
Anyway - let's go and look at what everyone else is up to today - here

Love all of your creations there - I am just learning to crochet and keep making a little flower although I havent really mastered it yet and they all look a bit odd (be fine with a big button in the middle though!). Thanks for sharing and have a fab week.
Goodness! You have been positively busy! No idea how to show off the christmas goodies...hmmm. Love all the work that you have shared! Good luck getting the blankets done! Thanks for sharing your WOYWW! -Amanda
What a busy lady you are. You seem to have so much on the go all at the same time. Well done you.

ohoo those 'corks' are a great idea... well, put it this way, you've given me one!! Great crafty-mess, love it, haven't knitted or anything for years though, but there is a knitted snowman on my craft space somewhere!
Happy WOYWW!

I love that tea cosy ...nice to hear they are still used.I think you will be making those blankets forever ...and ever. lol You really are a busy lady. xx
Nice to find someone who's knitting too. I thought I was alone on this WOYWW. I'm knitting Xmas balls on the moment, but they are not filled yet, so I can't show them now. I love your blankets and tea 'bag' and the colours you've used. Thanks for sharing. Bye, Franka
Woca mola - love it!! LOL! You could start a whole new thread of misheard lyrics! I'll contribute... how about The Police singing about Sue Lawley instead of So Lonely :D
Nice knitting by the way, my fingers are itching to do some but I've got too much sewing to do and can't take anymore on!!
Hugs, LLJ #43 xx

All your gorgeous knitting looks like a warm hug. Keep smiling and creating...I too am a lousy, but shameless lyric singer. LOL
You're definitely keeping your fingers busy! So much stuff on the go. Will you get it all done in time I wonder! I started one of those frilly scarves last night with that mesh wool or ribbon wool I think they call it!

Yikes, don't you just hate it when one side ends up different than the other, especially when they notice...lol
At least you have a head start on your gifts. I haven't even started yet.
Thanks for the peek and sharing, have a great WOYWW

Blimey you have been busy.You will have to load all your handmade pressies onto a flikr collage and then do a big reveal once they have been given! x Jo
What a fab idea Twiglet. Thank you.

Wow you have been busy! I used to do a lot of knitting and crochet but not so much now - I recently took up my crochet again. Love the way you're "upcycling" the corks lol!! Happy WOYWW Shoshi #84
Hi - me again! Thanks for your comment on my blog. Glad you liked my butterfly! I hope he survived the heavy rain the next day.
You have been busy. I'm glad you are now into crocheting, such a good hobby for sitting in front of the tele, and relaxing in the winter.
Oh "Em Gee" as they say on tv. You are a busy bee, lots of crafting on the go on your table. Thanks for sharing.
Only just had my WOYWW posted as I have been away and now am hoping someone can guess where I have been - little prize for the first to do it. Hugs, Neet #133
I like the idea with the corks, it's very sweet!
What lovely yarn! Happy late WOYWWED!
A very late woyww visiting. Love all the knitting you have been doing. good luck with the blanket.
