What's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Good morning well Wednesday is upon us again and my workdesk is not very inspiring I'm afraid? I bought some alcohol inks a while ago and had a go yesterday at colouring a small tin bucket. Let me know what you think please, but be kind! I need to buy the mixative stuff as well and then have another go I think.

Anyway I have made some cards as well so here they are, I'm really pleased with these. I love the colours.

Have a good Wednesday.

what's on your workdesk? Yes I know it's Thursday whoops!!

Yes I know it's Thursday but I just didn't get the time yesterday to upload my pictures of my desk! This is the first day I've had to myself without having to run off and do something from someone else in months, so I'm being selfish today and doing what I want, when I want, how I want, so there!!!! Right that's my rant over and done with now down to some crafty business.
Here's a pic heavy post of my latest crafty buys and it's more fabric and some ribbon, not quite sure what I'm going to make with it but when I spotted it on Ebay I just had to have it.

Now from the bottom left the pink birdy fabric is a tilda from HERE, the Russian doll and red check are from HERE and pink and brown fabrics in the centre and pink and green and calico on the right are from HERE. The 2 reels of ribbon are from a gift shop in my town and I will be going back for more soon as they are so pretty and I must have them??!! I want to make a cover for my mobile phone and camera and have been hunting the net to find a pattern that my unskilled sewing can cope with? So if you know of somewhere please point me in the right direction please. 

Meanwhile I have been making more needlecraft bits and bobs and die cutting fabric and felt to make embellishments I have posted these before but am toying with the idea of putting them on to Ebay to sell? 

What do you think? Would you buy these do add to your projects? They are 5cm across at the width part and I think they are quite cute. Here's some close-ups.

Next is a flower die cut from tilda fabric and felt stitched together with a button, it's 9.5cm across.

Lastly here's the card I've made for my Husband for Valentine's day, It's not all pink and red and girly but I like it and hopefully so will he? Not that we are the romantic types really but I think it's nice to show someone how much you love them. 

Hope you have a good day, I'm off to make another cup of tea and then do some blog hopping to see what everyone else has been up to. 

What's on your workdesk Wednesday

As you can see there's not a lot going on in my craftroom today. Only loads of mess and stuff that needs packing away. Hopefully Friday I might get 5 minutes to myself before I go and collect my Mum from her treatment.
The only other thing on my desk lately is my Cat who sleeps in the most uncomfortable of positions, bless her!

What's on your workdesk Wednesday?

This is what I was playing with last night, some tags I bought at the weekend and my distress inks. I got out some stamps that haven't seen daylight in a very long time and had a little play. I think the stamps were from Graphicus which is no longer around.
 I have some A4 stamp sets, all graphicus ones that I bought from Create and Craft as part of a large pick of the week ages ago and I never even cut up the rubber to use them so I think I must put them to sell on Ebay. I need to be a bit more ruthless with myself and actually sell what I don't use, then at least I can afford to buy something else with the money!!??
Anyhoo here's another couple of pictures of the above desk shot. Still getting used to my new camera and struggling to get any decent photo's at the moment, practice makes prefect......not!

Hope you have a lovely Wednesday. 

What's on your Workdesk?

Good Morning, I've not had a lot of time to play with my crafting goodies since my trip to the NEC last Friday but did manage to just stamp out my new stamps from Lili of the Valley, cut a couple of the spellbinder dies out and get a bit inky with my new colours of distress inks. Hopefully later today I will be able to have a little crafting time?
Hope you have a good Wednesday.

What's on your workdesk?

Good morning, well there's not a lot on my workdesk, just a word book which I started making yesterday evening. I need to print off some more images to add to it. There's a couple of Nitwits Santa's on there at the moment which I will post a picture of when the project is complete. **Here's the wordbook all finished**

I'm on holiday this week so plenty of craft to pop into my craftroom. I've made even more Christmas cards so I hope that I will be able to sell some, I might even put some on ebay or etsy which I haven't tried before?

It's my daughter's 23rd birthday today but I will have to make do with a phone call as she is now living and working in Italy. I've got a fairly busy week planned, eye test later today, then lunch with a friend. Got to take my Mum out on Thursday and then I'm off to my friend near Birmingham to stay overnight ready to go to the NEC on Friday with my winning tickets, excited!!!!

What's on your workdesk?

I'm not feeling too great today and have done pretty much nothing with my day off other than watch create and craft and drool over all the goodies for sales at wonderful prices!

I spent the day decorating the training room at work yesterday a full 9 hours pretty much non stop of sanding and washing down woodwork and then painting and I completely wiped myself out, I think I must have moved muscles that have not seen any action for a very long time! Good job today was my day off anyway so I've been able to recover a bit before I'm back to work tomorrow.

Anyhoo I thought I'd post a picture of my workdesk showing the cards which I've now organised and packed up ready for a card party during the next few weeks. I'm great at making a card then not putting an envelope with it straight away so it then takes me ages to get them all sorted out when I want to sell some of my creations. I've promised myself that from now on I will sort the envelope or box straight away saving hassle later on, whether I do that is another matter?

I had some exciting news via email the other day I won a competition via the Docrafts website, 2 tickets to the NEC in Birmingham for the Hobbycraft event in November which just happens to be during my weeks holiday. The tickets arrived this morning so hopefully my bestest friend ever won't mind a visitor for the night as she lives close to Birmingham? I've asked her along not that she's a crafter but she may enjoy it anyway?
