It's that day again, the day snoopy crafters go round snooping at other people's desks/workspaces to see what they're up to; or just to see what their crafty space looks like. It's great fun and if you haven't joined in yet take the plunge today! Pop over to the wonderful
Julia's to find out more. Mess, as most weeks, on mine ;-) The black floral thing on the right is a Heidi Swapp mask. The paper trays at the back of the desk have become a dumping ground! I've been intending to sort out my desk all week but obviously not trying hard enough. I thought I'd show the fabric thing I was working on. It was the meeting of our doll group last Saturday, in York, and we had to cut up the fabric piece and sew it together again but not to the original shape, and now we have to hand embroider it. - not something I've done much of except x-stitch! Eventually it will become a vessel :-/ I'm also showing my BIA book which I completed some weeks ago but hadn't embellished the front. I took the pic of this yesterday pm hence the shadow. The paper is 7 Gypsies. I've added stars and numbers using stencil embossing paste, coloured with mica powders and a hessian flower, cut using Tim's Tattered Florals die. I did one yesterday for my Sunday Stampers entry (prev post) but had painted it with acrylic paint. This one I just coloured slightly with DIs. A word of warning if you try using hessian with the same die, the 3rd layer on the flower needs very careful handling and either painting or spraying with glue or something straight away. Yesterday's was ok (though one petal came apart) as I painted it straight away so that held it together. See you at your place ;-)

Oh, that fabric piece!!! I can't wait to see it completed! And your notebook looks fabulous!
What a great idea to cut out flowers with hessian - i must have a go at that - thanks for the inspiration!
Still loving those flowers. I don't envy you hand sewing. I would have to pass. But I want to see the finished project.
Am I dreaming, or did you change your blog background? I don't remember the teal and hearts, but I may have been sleeping a lot.
And one of these days, I'm going to learn how to use a mask. I have the Tim one with clocks and have NO IDEA how to use it.
Oooh Anne, how I love your hessian flower!!!
Oh! oh! just seen your Sunday Stamper project, gorgeous colours well gorgeous everything really.
Lou you do some wonderful stuff. I love the hessian flower. Hugs BettyXXX
Hi Anne - your desk is always so much fun to snoop around. That material looks really interesting and I am looking forward to seeing the finished article. I am seriously loving that hessian flower.

Lovely wip. Hugs Pam x

Hi Lou!
Beautiful projects and lovely desk"!
Love yesterday's project and your hessian flower looks good on that lovely book. Now I can't wait to see what you do with the fabric pieces!
Oh I do like your Hessian flower, you could even put that one on 'man's card I reckon. We refill the ink cartage, and i THINK THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PRINTER, IT BANGS AD THUDS, COZ IT GETS STUCK (Oops sorry, didn't notice that,) I spy the 'eyes', I must get some bigger ones, I don't think anyone can see mine! Hubby's a lot better today, so I'm happy if he's happy! Just got a new programm (free with mag) so I can make my digi's darker, which i think they need, or am I being fussy! have a good day!

That book is fab Anne! x
Love the fabric pieces
Great workspace Anne, love the vibrant colours of your fabric and that hessian flower is brilliant.
Nicki, x
ooo that piece is looking lovely, what kind of stitching will you do on it? does it have to be by hand? maybe you could use fancy stitches from your machine. you could also couch all sorts of other threads and beads to it.
the boy on my card is stampotique, not my stamp I just borrowed it so I don't know its name.
Gorgeous Anne - can't wait to see the vessel in embroidered glory! I see it's a piece that set Darcy's juices going! So what were you using the mask for? Love the journal cover..great ideas just flowng from you! Your WOYWWAC gift is now en route - had to get Mr D to make up another batch, and he of course, has to wait for free machine time at work!!
Oooh lovely busy and creative desk - your book is beautiful and the fabric that you are working on is a really lush colour :-)
Glad to see the eyes making their appearance not once but twice!
Love the flowers and your journal hun :0)

Hi Anne
I broke my computer so just got it back today, interesting desk this week, very creative, great book and lovely flower with the hessian, I tried one through the week with cork but it didnt cut too well through the big shot.
