This is the time of week we share our work spaces with Woywwers and Bloggers around the globe. If you want to join in then go over and see our Hostess, Julia, who will give you all the details.
Julia likes us to keep it short and mine is very short this week, because the Builders are in, they are using drills and diggers to dig up the foundations today and we are out of here for the day! I will catch up with as many of you as possible later today and this evening.
No new work on my desk today, but tomorrow I am doing a little workshop with Woywwer Lynn (Doodly Birds) and two other friends. We will be doing a version of my pin cushion that you see on my desk. That is what the spools in the background are for, together with all the lace at the front. I hope we have time to make some gift bags too, using the papers at the front and also the flowers, ribbon and lace in the box.
A sample of what we will do is just behind the lace box. Right at the back you might be able to see my new Tim Holtz Distress Paints which arrived today but I have not had the chance to play with.
I bought some of the lace at the Event City craft event in Manchester last week, where I went with my lovely friend and fellow Woywwer Mo of Almo Crafts. We met up with Lynn, Susan and Ruth and also with Ann B and Jo of Jozart (both Woywwers). It was lovely to meet up with all these lovely ladies and chat about crafty things. Sadly, I missed meeting up with a blog friend Rachel, neither of us realised there were two cafes, she was in one and we were in the other........apologies Rachel.
So that's it from me, will do my best to visit you later on. Have a good WOYWW everyone. Hugs, Anne x
YOu have distress paints, I have ordered mine but they have not arrived yet boo hoo.

Oh, I have so much envy at you making that pin cushion. It is absolutely beautiful. Are you going to share how to do it?
ReplyDeleteSo nice for you to meet up with so any friends at Event City and glad that you enjoyed the show. Pity I didn't know before I went away but I had four complimentary tickets awaiting me on my return from America - sadly on Friday.
Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting me.

ohhhhhhh..you've got distress paints! I haven't been able to get them yet :(...sounds like a fab workshop tomorrow, have fun!!! Carole Z xx #120
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your workshop. Look forward to seeing what you make.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the workshop...the pincushions look great. It would be neat to make one just for card pins!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have all the bits and bobs coralled on that tray...my square glass joare are from the dollar store. I am nearly through the process of unrolling the ribbon and ironing it and hanging on ribbon tags.
The glass jars will then hold lace, fancy rolled flower ribbons, twine and the zillion flowers I am trying to use up! I need to make a zillion flower cards. teehee
I am really having issues today, everyone is talking about their new Distress paints and mine have not arrived yet! ugh! Good thing you can away from the renovation work, bet it's noisy! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and say hi, it's always appreciated! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥

ReplyDeleteHi Anne, Lots of lovely lace in that box, I am sure you will all have a lovely crafty day tomorrow (away from the builders) say hello to the ladies for me. Hugs Mo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you missed your friend and, hopefully, you will get another opportunity to meet up soon. I sympathise with you having the builders in, all that dust and disruption. Hope you soon get back to normal and creating lovely things like that beautiful pin cushion. xx Maggie #8
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of the construction and have fun with the fellow WOYWWers!!!
