I was busy all day yesterday - until about 8 pm really - and was just too tired (or lazy) to clear up the mess I had made. So here it is - machines, books, bags of fabric scraps, wool, yarn etc etc.
I made two little photo frames with the embellisher and machine embroidery. I thought they might make Mothers' Day pressies so they will end up in the blog shop eventually.
Of course Wipso will have to give her seal of approval. She usually does - well except for yesterday. I made some "Sisters Crafty Creation" tags - just a bit of experimenting really. Showed them to the boss and - well, lets say we will not be adding them to our parcels!!!!!
I know she is right and I have to let her think she is in charge, so I will be hanging the labels off the jars of beetroot chutney that I made yesterday!!!!!
If anyone wants the recipe.....
I usually add a chopped, peeled courgette as well.
If she is nice to me I might give her a jar - beetroots are extremely good for you I believe.
These are the two frames you can maybe spot in that untidy mess......
The pink one has little dumflings of silk, broidery anglais and yarn, with machine embroidery.
The Monet inspired water lilies picture has silk flowers and wool/yarn leaves and water.
So I think I should clear off all that clutter and get ready for a new day - but first I shall have a look at everyone else's desks!
Hehehe you do make me laugh sis. I do wonder what all the other bloggers think of us. I really love the frames. They have turned out very well. I would also love a jar of beetroot pickle but you dont need to waste one of your beautifully made labels on it :-) :-)

Aren't you going to show us your labels? There could be a whole blogging debate about whether you should use them or not.
ReplyDeleteWispo makes me smile - All the other bloggers love that you're close sisters. I'm envious of your geogrpahical closeness too. Your desk looks untidy but not messy Twiggers, jsut a sign of business. If you want messy, visit mine!! Gah. LOVE the frames, esp second one...bet there'll be a rush on in the shop!

I don’t think your desk is too untidy at all, just a well prepared ‘ready to go’ working space.

ReplyDeleteThe big book on your desk has a really lovely 'thing' on the front - are you going to be making some of those - the colours are very nice.

Lovely to see a sewing type desk, and I'm SO jealous of your embellisher. I keep telling myself that I've already got an overlocker gathering dust ... love your frames, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the bottom one I thought waterlily/monet. Its beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShow us yer labels, go on. Leave them out in view for a while, you might have a AHA moment and all they need is a tweak.
