Something Different

Today i thought i would share with you another craft hobby i like do indulge in, I do Cross stitch i am not a wizz at this, i take my time put them down for weeks at a time so they always take me an age to do. But i do love the finished effect, So today i am sharing with you my recently finished cross stitch, its of an Elephant it needs washing and ironing oh and framing too, But am going to share anyway.
Have a great Sunday.

WOYWW 112

Good morning desk friends, We are back to work this week never mind pays for the next holiday, oh and more craft stash!!
Yes i'm in the mood for..... Christmas. I did a Christmas class couple of weeks ago and since then i have opened the christmas stash box and been messing about with that.

This is a Nitwit topper pack, love the colours all soft, will finish these off and have a nice set of cards to give.


This stamp i have had for ages, and decided it needed colouring with my beloved Promarkers i love the effect they give, did you see what Di was giving away as blog candy over at http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/ yes the new fine tips! and the lovely Di made every one a winner, how lucky are we, Thanks Di, cant wait to give them a try, i am a Promarker girl.
If you have no idea why i am showing you all this, Visit the Lovely Julia and have a nose around the world of craft desks.

woyww 111

Very Late joining in today, I did not want to miss joining in, but i do not have a desk to show you, I am off work this week so have been doing days out in the uk instead of going away, i went to Chatsworth House on Monday, wow what a great day out and even the rain didn't put off how great a day out it is. Tuesday we went to Cheshire Oaks for a bit of retail therapy and today we have been to Camp Eden in Malton.
I have just got in, taken a photo of my desk, which i must say hasn't really changed from last week, arghhh and my card reader wont work so i can download my photos, i will get a new reader and put some on hopefully tomorrow? But tomorrow i am to the flower show at Tatton Park, really looking forward to it, will post some pictures of the show, as i think it will be great. Sorry i have no desk, but as i have only just started joining in didn't want to miss a week. Join us at the Lovely Julias
