After a LONG hiatus, I am back again :) What a perfect day to return to Blogger - a "What's On Your Work-desk Wednesday?". Hosted, as always, by the amazing Ms Julia over at The Stamping Ground.
Want to join in and have a nosy peek at other people's work spaces? Just click to pop over to Julia's page, and all will be revealed on what to do.
So...
Today I am number 44...
I've recently started crafting again - since February (my last post) I have been busy - dieting! I've lost more than half my body weight, and am down to trying to lose those last stubborn 12 pounds :) I have no idea why this change of lifestyle stopped me crafting - maybe because I have been cooking a LOT - trying to eat healthily and experimenting with flavours and tastes. Anyways... back to my work desk...
This is Tuesday night, and usually my desk remains much the same... but it's even more crowded and messy right now lol. This Christmas, I am making a lot of the gifts I shall be sharing - candle making, candle decorating, making chocolates, biscuits, cakes and also pickles and jams, gathering flower seeds from the garden and placing them in pretty jars, - even the jams and chutneys have been made using fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in my garden :) For my amazing "she's-more-like-my-sister-than-my-best-friend" Ms Lizzie, I also decided to make some decorations, and really wanted to try my hand at creating some little tree decorations. Her beautiful home is very 'up-market shabby-chic'... so I decided on a pink theme. They are far from finished - I have lace and sparkles to put on yet :)
So disappointed with how the silver ones look in the photograph - they look so much nicer and a LOT less 'tacky' in real life :)
Had so much fun making the basic tree's... even if the little fabric roses ones took about two hours! Of course, I have to decorate them yet - and I have been shopping, so have lots of little things to rifle through and choose from :)
I have three more sets to make - probably three to each set. I'm looking forward to making a red-and-white Nordic themed set :) and then something in icy blues I think...
I'll try to keep up-to-date... posting once a week if I can. In-between cooking, cleaning, shopping and walking the dog every day, I'm hoping to find a few minutes somewhere :)
Have A Wonderful Wednesday Everyone!
