Hello on this bright and frosty morning – just how I like the winter to be even though the sun is showing up my grubby windows!
So it’s Wednesday and time to reveal my workdesk to the world. I have two photos for you … the first to show off my sparkling new sewing machine got for me by my lovely mum at Lidl for a bargain £69.99. Beside it you can just see my first attempt at machining as I have finished Sophia’s cushion ready to post to her. Thank you for all your good wishes last week for her spottiness – she is well and back at school.
OK, time to do some desk hopping at Julia’s What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday. See you there.

ETA after much searching of Google I have found the squeaky ATG remedy … here.

Love your sewing machine - looking forward to seeing lots of fancy stitching especially on your LO's!
The basket is super cute. Will have to check out the tutorial.
I do remember your annoying squeaky ATG! lol
Glad to hear Sophia is better & back at school x
The basket looks fab, it could be used for all sorts of occasions. The sewing machine looks pretty fab too!
That sewing machine is for art than tool! Lovely. As is the fab basket. Off to check out the tut now......

Glad to hear DD is better. Lucky you with a new sewing machine. I have promised myself a new one when I have a bigger craft room as I have no room to keep it out and know it will just sit under the desk unless it is primed and ready to go. Not that I can sew mind you!! That little basket tut is adorable - that is going in the mix for one of my easter kids classes - looks real easy and sooo professional! Thanks for the link. Cindy #74
Love the color of your sewing machine! I bookmarked your tutorial, it will come in handy for Easter!
Have a wonderful week,

Wow, love your funky looking sewing machine and the little basket, will have to have a go at making one of those! Can't help with the ATG, mine have never squeaked... maybe you need to give it a clean as some of the glue has got on the mechanism? Annette #3
Glad to hear Spohie is all well again. They soon recover thankfully don't they!!
That looks like a very fine sewing machine, I love the colour. Hope you have lots of fun exploring all it does.

Hugs from the frozen bears. :)

The sewing machine looks fab and so does that basket. I am glad the ATG is being fixed before our retreat :D xxx
love the sewing machine, and such a cute basket!
Now that sewing machine looks like a great one - hope it works really well for you. Happy WOYWW, hugs Jenny #29
Well, that’s a beast of a machine Sue and what a bargain! Mine only comes out on high days and holidays and then I have to sweep 4 ins. of dust off of it before I can attempt anything……just as well I’m not into machining big time, isn’t it!
As for you squeaky tape gun, WD40, I use it on everything.
Thanks for dropping by this week.
Happy Crafting!

congratulations on the new sewing machine it is awesome! Love the basket and look forward to seeing them filled with candies. Funny thing! My Stormy cat jumped up on the desk while on your site and saw the hamster and we spent a good 10 minutes playing before I left a comment...I love it when she gets so engrossed in something on the screen I can't move on! Thanks for popping by my desk and leaving a comment! It means a lot to me! Have a great week. Vickie #43
thank you for showing how to make the little baskets I will be having a go at these.
Ria #114
There are lots of tutorials on Youtube for ATGs so you should be able to sort it. I squirt any squeak with the wondrous WD40... never fails to cure everything but my creaking knees.
I love the card basket you made.. .do you have a pattern for it? I'd love to make it for Easter.
Love Jo x
Hi sue - loving the new machine .. what a bargain & such a lovely colour! The little baskets are very cute! Sarah x
Fab bargain on the sewing maching, happy sewing. Hugs Pam x
I have followed Shaz's lead and bookmarked that tutorial for those basket. By the way, the half price sale at Clarity is only available to Clarity Club members. I joined last year and have really found it excellent. Have a good week. xx Maggie #37
Oh cutie baskets, best go print the tutorial too. Julia mentioned the offer for the pink ATG gun, I was tempted but I have bought so much lately, I wasn't sure I could warrent it. Wasn't quite so reserved witht he chronology range though. Thanks for visiting me BJ#55
Love the sewing machine, its so you as well, what a great find. Glad Sophia is all better, she's going to love the cushion so much.
The basket is fab, I'm going to mark those for a future making occasion

Little basket is adorable, happy machining with big red there, and I'm so glad your young 'un is feeling better! ♥ waving hi from the soggy laden hills of North Carolina ☺
Love your little basket.
Congrats on the new sewing machine. And if you find that tutorial - please share - I want to make one of those cute baskets.

Lovely machine - tht flash of colour is frightfully smart! I solved the ATG loading thing at a crop - I asked Mary Anne to help me and was so embarrassed to need the help that I've not forgotten how!!
Great workspace and sewing machine, love the colour. Thank you for your lovely comments and welcome on my first WOYWW. Can see this could be very addictive.. Gill x
what a bargain with the machine ... look forward to seeing what you make with it

What a funky sewing machine! I just love that little basket and will have to try one myself at some point. Thanks for sharing. Happy 'Belated' WOYWW. Caro #63
Hope the Vaseline worked! What a great bargain that sewing machine is, looks good! Thanks for the Pinterest - just started on there so off to see how you did those baskets.
Hugs Neet 7 xx
Sweet looking machine! It'd be more decoration than function in my house. :D Darling basket. a late Happy WOYWW! Nan 113
Love the little basket. I went and pinned the tutorial for Easter. Squeaky ATG?? Hmm. I may have to go use mine. Mine either doesn't squeak or I am not very observant. LOL
Sorry I am 2 days late getting to your blog. I have been battling a nasty flu bug.

Thank you for all the great links, Sue! That little basket is so stinkin' cute!! BTW, can't remember if I asked b/4: do you know where your happy face mug can be bought? Little twink Henry is going through a phase where he LOVES anything with a happy face. I think it's so cute, better than loving frownie faces!! My email is on my profile page if you know. Thanks!
Thank you, too, for coming by the Playhouse and leaving your sweet anniversary wishes! I'm sorry I'm so late getting around WOYWW. I took some time off to celebrate with Mister and am still going through all our wonderful greetings.
Have a super weekend! Have a blast with the new shiny sewing machine!! Hugs, Darnell #64
Love the little baskets and your new sewing machine - I am not sharing a desk as away from home looking after my friends cattery but enjoying having a good look around everyone else's desk
