My first desk is one that Huffle and I have been working at (a rare time crafting together):
Lots of driftwood we picked up on the beaches and many stones. Small's little stamping set and some inks for stamping. Plus some garden string for hanging the wood.
.....and my second one is the kitchen table where I have been crocheting in between watching the Olympics and playing with the kids.
My bag (fadedreverie) of stuffing. Crochet Hook, gorgeous Hot Pink Wool. A one legged monkey and the IPad with Annaboo's pattern on it. This is the Monkey I am making for my niece. It seems to be taking a long time. Her birthday is end of December, might be done by then! I noticed the monkeys leg seems rather wider than it should be. Now I either need to undo it and Start again or try and make the second leg the same! Ummmmmmm difficult decision.
Some of the creations Huffle and I created were:-
"No ducking, no diving, no bombing, no petting"
On one side......
...then turn it over
Huffle made the shark
....even Small was playing at the table today. He created one about a lake octopus (he said it was because when he found the driftwood, he thought it was an octopus and then he realised it was a piece of wood!) I haven't taken a photo yet. I will when he finishes it. We also picked up lots of stones (we always do). The boys like to bring me stones saying "ooooh you like this one don't you Mummy". "now I know you will like this one because......". Bless, we have so many stones, in the house, outside the house, in the garden, on the table, on my craft table.

ps good luck with the monkey's legs
Oh my goodnesss. I love the drift wood and stones. I collect stones with my boys at the beach but have not been fortunate to find drift wood. And what a lovely project. Thank you for sharing the final product. I love the shark and that you used your little letter stamps (mine are collecting dust). Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing and thank you for popping by my desk.

Great signs out of the driftwood. AND, holy moly, that's one interesting shark!!!
Your monkey is looking great. I was concerned when I read one legged monkey though..
Yesterday was my blog anniversary - candy will be announced soon. As part of the candy I'm offering up something made by me -- so come visit and cast your vote (if you've already been - thank you. I'm trying to visit everyone this week so haven't checked in on my comments lately).
Happy WOYWW

Love the driftwood signs and how lucky are you to have a pool - we could do with one this week as the weather in the UK is pretty good at present (that will spoil it).
Bit late getting round this week - am addicted to all the Olympic sports at present and not getting time to do anything else.

PS thanks for the tip about Blogsy- I used it for my last post and it's great! Xx
I haven't been on our beach for awhile but I never found driftwood as good as your findings. Loving the monkey.
I haven't joined in WOYWW this week with the little people being off school. The weather was too good to stay in.
