It's nice to know folk out there find my crafty table interesting!
Join in the WOYWW fun over at Julia's Stamping Ground - there are lots more crafty folk over there who are willing to share their creative desks with everyone.
My table is much tidier this week as I had a big clean up last week and totally re-organised all my fabric stash. I think I know where everything is but only time will tell!
This week I have put ready some Christmassy fabric which I will be using to make some scrapbox dolls. I made a basket full last year and they have nearly all gone now. I cut out and do all the machine sewing first and then sit in the evening stitching on hair and faces etc. I have 2 cardis and a hoodie to finish first but I like to have plenty at the ready.
Here are the little beads bags that I made for Jo's scheme at CHICS. The children keep their Bravery Beads in them as they progress through their treatment for cancer.
Well that is certainly a short post.
If you want a giggle then scroll down to my Friday smile.
Thanks for calling in.
Have a good week.
x Jo

Hi Jo, lots of lovely fabric at the ready and the little baggies are super ... those Bravery Beads must mean a lot and be very encouraging for the children.
Thanks for dropping by earlier - it's always good to hear from you.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #42
I spy loads of lovely fabric and the sweetest little doll...then I read about all the charitable things you share. God bless. I loved that you shared the jabala and called it a big bar code. Too funny.

Lovely bead bags Jo and well done on the knitting identical sleeves too! LOL Had a laugh at you in the stripes... had a few of those from when I lived in Libya as a teenager.. they are lovely and warm!! Annette
Tidy fabric stash....blimey, you get lots of brownie points for that! Mine is indescribable at the moment, stuff everywhere. What I need are bookshelves so I can lay it out at eye level...it's the dragging stuff out from the bottom of a box that I can't stand. Hmmmmmm, there's a thought....
Lovely little bags too, you and Annie are so good :-)
Hugs, LLJ 35 xx
You always seem to get so much done and for a good cause too, they are great bags for the children, we need more people like you in the world.
Happy crafting and Happy WOYWW

thanks for visiting
What a wonderful thing, those bead bags are precious. And it's so special they can keep their bravery beads in something handmade. I really really need to get out every bit of my fabric and see what I have for once--it's just stashed in too many places right now! Thanks for a sweet visit to my worktable. Happy WOYWW!

The bags are super cute though have no idea what bravery beads are. :)
Tempted to put "Ho Jo" but decided you may not realise what I meant so instead I will just say how nice it is to see your bead bags and see the fabric for the festivities ahead.
Enjoy.
Hugs, Neet 16 xx
Wow what a great idea those bags, they look lovely, I'm sure they will love them.
Happy WOYWW

I love the scrapbox doll and the CHICS bags. What lovely and worthwhile things you make. Julie Ann xx #20
Jo, your bags are adorable, the kids are going to be delighted to have them.
(Thank you for your visit last week--I apologize, but being such a flake, I can't remember if I stopped by to see you then or not!)
A very happy WOYWW to you,

Ooh a grand clear up and judging from the pic on Friday a trying on session! how fun..love to think that you would one day reach in to your wardrobe to put this on to help against the cold...schlepping up to the shops n it!!
as the owner of a scrapbook Dollie, I must say that she gives me daily cheer with her winking beady legs, the colours you've got on your desk will be wonderful and jewel-y.
Love the bag idea, I dare not commit to anything else at present as I am struggling so much with what I have to do. Happy WOYWW Anne x #96
You are so productive! Lots of bags this week!
