… I love their clean and simple The new minikit is launched today at Creative Craft World. I was lucky enough to be sent a kit by Lou and the papers, blossoms and ribbons this month are LUSH! I have made a get well card, two little Easter baskets and I have plenty enough over to make another card which I’ll post later.
There’s a bit more about the baskets in my previous post. I haven’t put the eggs in yet I won’t be able to resist eating them!
Don’t forget to check out the mini challenge at CCW – there are prizes!

Wednesday again and this last week has seen me very busy trying to have a good sort out of my craft room. The first picture I’m showing you today is one of the two work desks I have – this one has been cleared and tidied. It is usually buried under a mountain of paper and I don't think I’ve ever shown it before even though it is where I spend a lot of my day. So here it is all neat and tidy well for me anyway!

I’m having a massive clean up and clear out in my craft room. I will show you before and after photos if I ever finish! Anyway I found these and can’t identify which trimmer they might have come from. Can anyone tell me and would anyone like them – just for cost of postage?

Continuing with Jen’s challenge to take a photo of the same view each month and record the changes, here is my kitchen window view at the beginning of February.
Last but not least, we had a visit to the garden from a woodpecker I have seen him before but only very rarely. I was just leaving to meet mum and Marilyn at Ikea when I spotted him – out came the camera and needless to say, I was late for our shopping trip!

I’m late … I’m late … for a very important date. I should have been at Julia’s link up hours ago and if I’m really honest I would have been had I remembered it was Wednesday! In my defence, we are away for a short break in the beautiful New Forest and I have lost track of the days. I guess I didn't want it to be Wednesday because that means we go home tomorrow. :o(
Anyway, here is where I am crafting this week – a hotel room dressing table.
I’d best get over to Stamping Ground for What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday – why don’t you hop there, too?

Here‘s my page for the challenge this week at UK Scrappers.
Hannahk challenges us to scrap a person important to us, to journal about them and to use a monogram embellishment. So that's 30 points for my UKS team, the Bijoux Belles. :o)
By the way, I have used next month’s Littlegreen kit.
Here are the three pages I have done for the February crop kit. I have used Lily Bee Designs Double Dutch.
I’m looking forward to a day’s cropping!

A little update on my new venture into the lovely world of sewing … I recently ordered from Sew Là Là Fabric Shop and I wanted to give them a little plug. I ordered some fabrics from them late Wednesday afternoon – I was emailed almost straight away by Kath, the owner, and again yesterday when my parcel was shipped. The very reasonably priced fabric arrived here, beautifully packaged, this morning. Wonderful service! Thanks Kath. :o)
Now I have no excuse not to get on with my tote bags! :o)

Wednesday’s come round so quickly and here you are again to have a nosey at my workdesk.
My regular visitors will know I recently acquired a sewing machine (named Albert as mum’s machine is Victoria lol) and I’ve been trying my hand at some sewing – something I’ve not really tried before. So far I’ve made half a dozen cushion covers and some new kitchen curtains. I’ve also had a go at making a tote bag big enough to take a 12”x12” box comfortably so I can use it for crops. For my first attempt I upcycled the old kitchen curtains! Here you go, my desk in all its glory …
And don’t worry, smiley pot fans, he’s here, behind the bag ..
Right, time for a bit of noseying around some interesting workdesks at Julia’s blog http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/. See you there?
