Mess at the top is a pile of fabric, most of it the antique kimono silk I have been saving for the right project. Think I may have found it - going to make a cushion cover using an idea I found on the web which uses scraps of material to form the leaves and trunk of a tree. Bought some fabric for the cover although I have found it very hard to cut it straight and worry that like my card layers it will get trimmed and trimmed until it is a 1inch square.
At the front are the deco pages that I finished and blogged earlier this week. Should have been on their way yesterday but I needed to make a card to go with them and after entertaining family on Sunday I was well and truly knac....tired on Monday.
An empty Orchid food spray bottle is my water spritzer, didn't cost much, produces beautiful flowers and is a brilliant spritzer - beat that Mr Holtz, two paper cutters as I like the guillotine best but it isn't big enough so I use the Cricut for larger pieces of card, and for scoring - no wonder I never have enough room.
Busy week this week, hairdressers and highlights for me, groomers and claw-cutting for Sorrel - best not get those two mixed up, then I have to ring the washing machine repair man as mine's gone on strike, big Sis to the rescue again.
Enough rabbiting on from me, I'm off to visit Julia to join in this weeks desk hop, I may be some time.
Oops, almost forgot about the little doll nestling amidst the fabric, waiting for me to give her some hair and a face.

Gosh Ann, you don't need any sewing lessons - you could be giving them. Such a lot going on there - puts me to shame. All scrummy too.
Hugs and thanks for visiting me - Neet #3 xx

Hi Ann, busy desk this week ... like all the colours on it. I prefer my guillotine too ... it took three trimmers to convince me though :) You and Sorrell are going to look the bees knees :) Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #85
Wow lots of lovely stuff here. That doll is gorgeous. I have never been able to cut straight either. Hugs, Amanda #56
Lovely looking fabric there!! The cushion cover sounds gorgeous - you definitely have to post the finished article!

Scrumptious desk as usual, so colourful and the butterflies are the icing on the cake for me. BJ#18
That is a really lovely and colourful desk there Ann, beats the dreich weather outside! I can't cut very straight for the life of me either, I can never get something wonky straightened up and like you, I end up with a tiny scrap of what I started out with! Having said that I hope the cushion cover works out well for you!! Hope you and Sorrel are both now suitably groomed! We got some rain in the night thanks but could have done without the thunder that woke me up three times!!
Hugs

Hope the doll gets her hair and face soon. At least she's comfy on the lovely silk! Thanks for a peep at your workspace. Hope you have a good week - Hazel, WOYWW #124 x
