Get nosing at other crafty desks here at Stamping Ground, where Ms. Julia hosts the best blog hop in the interwebs.
My desk this week:)
1.) More progress with the diatom cross stitch.
2.) I got an invite to go to a friend's 40th birthday in two weeks and stupidly thought I could get a cross stitched tree done in that time. I have since given up on giving it to him, but will carry on with it whenever Diatoms bothers me (mainly after unpicking sessions, like just now.).
3.) Ongoing project since October has been to collect many pieces of baking paraphenalia for my mum's birthday at the end of this week. I found the box in a local card shop, bought brightly coloured packs of tissue and raided my ribbon box. There is A History Of Cake book, glitter candles, various cake casings, edible gold lustre, an elephant shaped cookie cutter, coloured royal icing, sugarcraft bees sat on flowers, neon coloured sugar crystals, edible petals, a pen that writes in chocolate and other stuff I packed long ago and have forgotten about. I'll be making her a card to go with it at some point this week.
That's all folks! See you next week:)
