I'm back on form now though so here's my workdesk for you this morning...
I'm trialling some new ideas again and this time I've moved away from my usual garden / hedgerow scenes to try something a little different.
It's needle felting, but not as I know it (ok, the Star Trek script robbing ends there!)
These have been assembled using cream and grey pre-felt, vintage lace, lilac wool roving and pale pink chiffon. These have been layered and felted down then hand embroidery, beads and buttons have been added on top.
Not sure what they'll be - either tiny pictures or brooches.
I guess I'm channeling inspiration from my newly redecorated sitting room, which is grey and lilac (and totally lovely - big thanks to Twiglet for shortening curtains and making blinds!). You can get an idea of the new decor in this photo of Benjamin's workdesk, a new addition to the sitting room. Perhaps he'll be joining in WOYWW one day soon!
Also on my workdesk are three fabulous ATCs I have received from the WOYWW anniversary swap. Thank you very much Kyla, Sandra Dee and Sylvia - your work is beautiful and each so different.
Kyla also sent me some lovely crafty goodies which I will endeavour to use to create something pretty to share with you at a later date.
I've really enjoyed the ATC swap this year and I'm determined to make a few more to swap next year (that's 358 days I've got to get my act together!)
Right that's all for today folks! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've enjoyed reading.
Happy crafting
