What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Thank you for all your lovely comments about my new blinds last week - yes, I promise to pull them back so the garden is visible but right now the garden is horrible, can't wait for Spring.
Apologies to all those who remarked on the serious lack of cats! 
To make amends.....



here is Imogen rather happily breaking in a new cushion - 

a Christmas gift from my sister (she knows me so well!)

 and then Fluff managed to get in on the act (she's a bit grumpy and not photogenic!)
They all love the new cushion!

But now to the workdesk - some serious design team work going on especially as my BIG news is that I made it through the first round of Spellbinders DT call - I am chuffed to bits.
This photo definitely shows the crafting conservatory really is so much cosier at night now, I install myself there with DVD player and hours simply drift away!

Have a great week everyone and come back soon.

So Thrilled!

So today when I woke up I poked my nose through the curtains, it was dark, cold and raining and as I got ready for work I truly felt as if the black clouds had actually forced their way indoors and were descending upon me UNTIL I opened my emails.  There squeezed between truly insignificant emails was a wonderful surprise.  Spellbinders had contacted me to confirm that I had made it through Round 1 of their Design Team application and was now invited to submit a layout for Round 2!! 

To say I'm thrilled is an understatement - I'm amazed and ecstatic.  I'm now slightly panicking at what to do for Round 2 but hoping my creative head will be in full working order tomorrow. 

Wish me luck as I distress, stamp, sew and add butterflies!

Chicken Soup - Recipe #23

It is Chicken Soup time again and the picture for inspiration this week is a rather stunning bedroom - not quite sure I would like a clock quite that big though!

And this is my interpretation - I chose to use some papers in turquoise and green, bit of stitching, punching, a rosette flower, some rub-ons, added a butterfly or two (of course) and hey presto!

Nip over there to join in the challenge. Have fun creating.

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

Hi everyone. 

The crafting conservatory got a Christmas gift - new blinds.  It has made such a difference, feels a lot more cosy and I know in the Summer it will be great as I will not be driven out by eye burning brightness!  And, in honour of the blinds I had a really good tidy-up - I am a bit of a neat freak but I don't think the desk has ever looked this tidy!

I've been a busy girlie as now I'm also designing for Scrap Our Stash and ScrapFIT so watch out for all their challenges.  I will be posting all the details on my blog with links so come back now and again and be on the lookout for the great prizes too.

So unfortunately no 'makes' to show you right now as they're under wraps for the Design Teams but nip across to Julia's with all the links to some brilliant workdesks.

Have a great week and come back soon.

Exciting News!

I'm delighted to start the New Year with some great news - I've been asked to join the Design Team for ScrapFIT - that officially makes me a ScrapFIT girl!  Take a  look - it is a challenge blog with two "workouts" a month.
