WOYWW...

It's Wednesday again,so time to show what's on our Workdesk.
Last week was great, as it was my 1st time joining in on WOYWW.
Thankyou to everyone who dropped by & left such kind comments :o)x

Today I have been digging amongst my v old stamps,after visiting Hels blog & seeing her card with the luvly lady stamps.I knew I had some very similar so I blew the dust off these (really!) & inked them up.I also chose to emboss them for a change,hence the powder & heat gun.
The rose image I made before I went to bed last night.
Can you see my gorgeous Cath Kidston cowboy coffee mug?! my fave print,I have the messenger bag too.My mobile phone,is usually somewhere about,usually the other end of the house when it rings,lol!!!
I was asked last week what the white sloping thing was on my desk,it's from Ikea & it's to raise your work up,so it's easier to colour,etc.
Thanx for looking :o)xxx

Meet Rosie...

Isn't she luvly?!!!!!

I know some of you won't agree,but I have a thing for skulls (not real ones,crikey!!!) & have lots of them on clothing & accessories.

When I saw these paper mache ones over at The Craft Barn,I had to have them & started to think of what I could do with them,so I have done this one girly & trying to think of what to do with the mask now,hmmm.....!!!

I painted her with acrylic paint & then sealed with Mod Podge,the ribbon & flower are from my stash,her earrings are large diamante brads & her eyebrows are PM adhesive stones.

The trickiest bits were guessing where her earlobes would be for her earrings & then getting her blingy eyebrows straight,lol!!!

I hope you like her,I do,she is sat on my window sill now!!!

Thanx for looking & Happy Monday :o)xxx

Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

This is such good fun,over on Julia's blog she wants to see WOYWW!!!
This also gives me the chance to show you my new craft room,so above is my desk,I have just got back from a lil visit to The Range & bought a few things.Then there is the tissue box cover on the far left that I have been altering,the 2 wooden roses I have painted & inked gold,but they won't dry?! Must have done something wrong.There is my Craft Stamper mag,that I read from cover to cover!!!

My window sill is much more interesting,there's all sorts half finished on here!!!

This is my very useful storage unit that I got for my b'day last year.Can you see your clock on the wall Emma?!

These shelves were already up when we moved in,so they hold lots of stash too. The Quality Street tin is full of buttons btw!!!

This wall is full of my punches & stickles.There's my fab lil sewing machine too!

Gingersnap Creations #42~Spicy Supply~Lace/Fibers...

I have altered this old Sarabook that I had in my stash,forever.
It's for the Gingersnap Creations challenge,using lace & fibers.

I covered the book cover with Laura Ashley Love Song papers,(inside is gingham),all the lace & fibers are from my stash (HUGEEEE drawer full!!!).I sanded the edges of the paper,which is velvet flocked & then added an SU metal frame,the word"memories" is a very dodgy old rub on,that didn't work v well,but adds to the aged look,I think!!!

Thanx for looking :o)xxx
