Woyww #138

Here we are again.  WEDNESDSAY.  Time to play along with "What's on your Workdesk Wednesday", hosted by Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com.
So today I abandoned my normal workdesk in favour of spreading my work around the house.

 This is the kitchen table.  I wanted to make a card but be downstairs to make dinner as well!

This is the Dining Table with Small's Toiletries Bag I am 'embellishing'

.....and this is the other end of the dining table......

I am attempting to make a bag with the handles I won from The Felt Fairy

Two different ideas.  

1.  Crochet side with a material inside - not sure if the crochet is too soft.  Will it hold up as a bag?

2.  The other one is two tea-towels sewn together.  The problem with this one is that I don't yet have a    sewing machine and I'm not sure if the material is too thick to hand sew!

My normal desk is just a dumping ground at the moment, so you don't want to see that.

 Why not pop along and have a look at the real talent from all around the world who take part in WOYWW.

Woyww #133 no sew curtains

Hurray.  I have a house.  I have a table (not a craft table yet but a table all the same!).

This is my workdesk this cold Wednesday:-

Gingerbread ready to be cut, made into a gingerbread house (I do one every year, usually with the help of friends but this year I have Moo and the children, ahhhh they will have to do). I had a bit of trouble with this as I don't have my scales yet or my recipe box.  I used a recipe from the net and converted the ingredients into cups.  It din't quite work out how I wanted but you never know, with some copious amounts of icing and chocolate, I might just get away with it.

Icing sugar, chocolate buttons with sprinkles, toffee chips, choc chips, Christmas coloured smarties and a big slab of butter will all help to make house look splendid.

A bowl, wooden spoons and some cups will help make the icing.

Then there is a big pile of two different materials.  These are to make curtains for the boys new bedrooms.  With the help of some Stitch Witchery (that's not my new name for Moo either) and my temporary sewing kit and my mum Moo, I think we can make something that will cover their windows sufficiently.

There is also a sneaky bottle of Corona which I will drink when I can work out how to open it without a bottle opener and a cup of tea in my new mug.

So that's my workdesk this Wednesday.  Sorry if I haven't visited as many of you as I normally would but what  with moving house, country and settling the boys in at school there hasn't been as much time as I would have liked for blogging.  New years resolution : comment more.
