WOYWW 379 - the one with all the WIPs

Greetings and salutations my fellow WOYWWers!  Welcome to another round of WOYWW as hosted by the lovely Julia over at Stamping Ground.  If you don't know what it is, come on over and join in - I don't think it HAS to be a crafting desk, I've certainly posted my work one often enough, as well as my sofa!  LOL

 

So, this week, I've had a busy desk.  Here's the current shot:

 

A busy mess of beads and buttons and pliers etc...

 

Close up:

 

 

I'm actually making a button ornament.  The long standing WOYWWers amongst you will recognise that the buttons in question are the same colour as those in my wedding bouquet from Jun 2013 - and that's exactly what they are.  Well, not from the bouquet itself but extras.  I wanted to make something with the "leftovers" as it were and plan on covering this polystyrene cone with them.  It'll be a lovely way to display them and easy to dust - the bouquet itself is languishing in a box until such time as we have a glass display case to put it in, and somewhere to put said case!

 

I see that my WOYWW 7 ATCs have made it into the shot - I still have a couple of these left if folks are interested!

 

Earlier this week (Sunday in fact) saw me industriously beavering away with fabric.  

It wasn't actually that industrious.  I only managed to turn out two cushions, and I have another 4 to make yet, but these are the two I made that now reside on Lil Miss B's  bed.  Along with Batman and a wolf.  Humourously enough, the two red cushions at the back are actually the rear view of two Christmas cushions she has - but as her room is red and black, she still wanted them on her bed.  Guess I'd better find some red fabric too...

 

 

I also have to make two plain black cushions onto which both she and I can stitch all the patches we've been awarded in the past - for Girl Guides/Girls' Brigade and Geocaching!  LOL

 

 

I'll leave you with a gratuitous shot of last night's sky - I took this as we went out to walk the dog once it was a bit cooler.  So very pretty....

 

 

Hope you all have a good day and I'll try to get around to as many as possible in my lunch!

 

Happy Hopping!

WOYWW 212 - Helloooo, Mrs B!

Another round of WOYWW - where does the time go?  Here we are, once again, on this worldwide voyage around the global desks of all the WOYWW ladies, courtesy of the wonderful Mrs Dunnit.  I'm not stopping for long though - I'm a newlywed, don'tcha know?  LOL

I have to say, the weather was amazing and the company great.  The wedding passed at superspeed; I can't remember much about it other than gazing into a certain Mr B's eyes, and having the hugest quantity of Chinese food on the table!  The party went with a swing, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Mission well and truly accomplished.

Well, I promised a picture of the finished bouquets once the great day had passed..... and here you are....

Here's a couple of gratuitous hat and shoe photos....

And one of Lil Miss B' looking gorgeous....

Regrettably, there is no desk picture this week.  Who am I kidding?  Regrettably?  I'm delighted there's no desk picture this week.  I'm having a well-deserved week off....

WOYWW 211 - last call for Roberts!

Hellloooooo!

 

Late posting today.

 

And I don't really have a desk for WOYWW, that wonderful creation of the fabulous Miss Dunnit.

 

I'm still a little bit busy, as The Big Day is this Friday and I get to take a new married surname instead of using my old married one.  I could have gone back to my maiden name but I'm a cheapskate.  There, I said it.

 

Anyway, I don't really have a desk so I've posted up a picture of what I HAVE been working on lately - two nights this week, I turned a  marzipaned fruitcake into this.  I don't have to worry if it will eat alright - my Mum (bless her) made it, and having had about 70 years practice at this kind of thing will no doubt have turned out another awesome work of edible art.  She makes the best fruit cakes I know of.  Apologies to those who have already seen this cake on Facebook yesterday.

 

 

The second picture is something else I'm now working on for the wedding - hair slides for myself and  Lil Miss B... I'd be lying if I said the bouquets were finished but they're 99% done, just requiring a needle and thread on both, and a few more buttons/beads on one.

 



 

 

So - enjoy your hopping, my apologies that I don't reciprocate with any visits and comments,  but I really think I'm going to be otherwise engaged married this week!
