WOYWW #132 - ONE AND A HALF SCARVES


This week on my table is a finished (at last) scarf for Smallest lovingly crocheted.  Also there is the start of another scarf but for Small this time, knitted on lovely big needles.  


Both of these scarves are supposed to be for Christmas presents for my special little boys.  However, I realised yesterday that the other ball of wool for Small's scarf is in the container, on the ship, which is refusing to come to our house TILL THE 28TH DECEMBER - Sorry for shouting but I'm mad!

Poor Small.  Hope it doesn't get too cold till after Christmas.

Anyway, my desk isn't very exciting.  Bear with me, next year (that's not as far away as it sounds) I will have my desk and my craft room and all my lovely craftiness supplies.  Ahhhhhh how I miss you, wool and ribbons, needles and crochet hooks, felt and material, glue and buttons, corks and beads, paints and paintbrushes - all of it.  I miss it all!

Next week I hope to have some christmas stockings in the making as they too are on the ship, and how will Santa deliver our presents to us in our new house if our stockings aren't hanging up.  So it's off to the Thrifty store again to find some suitable material (although I don't have my sewing kit either so my temporary one will have to suffice).

Go and have a look here at other peoples loveliness.

Thank you again to all of those people that comment on both of my blogs.  I have had such lovely words and comments from people I know and people I only know through writing the blogs.  It has been a difficult time for me and my family and the comments have been wonderful to read.  Thank you also to Brenda from Butlers Abroad for linking me on woyww the last couple of weeks because I don't have my computer yet and the IPad doesn't let me use Mr Linky.

What's on your Workdesk Wednesday #127

What's on your Workdesk Wednesday today is on my kitchen worktop.  The picture is at a weird angle because I used a flash (it's in a part of my kitchen that isn't lit well!) and I didn't want big fat shadows of me.


There are my "Handmade By" stickers which I attach to my things with a little bit of raffia.  Various little Korknisse Men - Santa, Rudolph, Elf and a nearly finished Snowman.  Loads of buttons I bought yesterday (to fnish off some things?!).  Bells for hats.  The phone (because it hasn't stopped ringing and for this picture wasn't attached to my ear).  Crochet Hook (using to make the Korknisse men), Sewing Thread, good scissors, Sewing Box which was really tidy till about an hour ago.  The key to the shed where the Big Freezer lives.  A Next bag with my new Pampered Chef Batter Bowl (friend Em brought it round yesterday).

Is that it?  Yes I think so.

Will show all the finished Korknisse tomorrow or day after so please come back and have a look.  The kids want me to knit them a Christmas Scarf now so I'm off to get some chunky wool.

See what everyone else is up to here.http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com
