WOYWW..

What’s on my workdesk or rather all over everywhere today and has been for much of the week!  This is a long post so be forewarned.  I’m sorry Julia I know it breaks the keep it short rules of WOYWW for the Stamping Ground.

See it started like this, I got really peeved about something and I needed to clean.  Well it wasn’t nice out so I couldn’t go rip up weeds so instead I starting taking everything off my shelves.  I took everything off all the shelves and even took the shelves down!  This is what it looks like today, one shelf back (the white one) with knick knacks that I just can’t part with.  The two sets that flank the futon will get books back on them, after I finish sorting the other bricka brack.

All cabinets getting a through clean out.

Drawers getting a through clean out and sort.

The toss and give away pile.  My Pixar lamp died, I’m so sad

Shelves were cleaned off and rearranged and now the organization starts.  The clip on version of my Pixar lamp was put in place.

Yes I still have a mess to go through the good news though, I’m not aggravated anymore lol.  Now I just feel like wow I’ve got too much stuff and gee I really need to use some of this stuff.  Anyone know a great use for glass glitter beads???

It’s a start…

I’ve said a few dozen times that I wanted to try art journaling, well I started this week…

No clue what I’m doing but it’s fun playing!

WOYWW…

This week it’s all about the men, birthdays and Father’s Day!

I find making cards for them most difficult, not because they are men but because masculine images are hard to come by.  Stuff like cars, sports, fishing is all directed towards men but what if the men in your life aren’t into that stuff.. Ah well..

Off to the Stamping Ground you go to see what’s what and who’s doing which mischief making this week! 

WOYWW..

Today you aren’t going to believe it, but there is actual work going on in here!

Stand by testing in progress, what in the world is the ironing board doing in here??  Well.. my beautiful niece is getting married in June and she wants to make the bridesmaids bouquets from fabric flowers, it’s all very shabby chic!  So today I’m testing out making said flowers from some scrap fabrics I have.  The first one I made is  small, I used my nesties for cutting out the circles, when I determined that even me with my textile challenged love could do this, I got out some bigger fabric pieces and had to iron out the wrinkles.

Haven’t made the big one yet as I figured I should post before the day was gone!
So stop back by later if you are interested and I’ll add a picture of a bigger one!  Until then have fun with all the links from The Stamping Ground and seeing what everyone is up to!

Update*
Ok so the bigger flower is a flop, well it's floppy so I don't think it will do well as a bouquet flower at all.  Also, the sheer fabric that I used singed more than curled, so that is out for sure lol!

The next thing I tried out was the lace flowers, which if I'd actually had wider lace might work well too as smaller accent flowers!

Now if I could just find my wired ribbon..I could test some of those.....

WOYWW

Just a quickie today..

I am in the midst of finishing up some Mom day cards, but of course I can’t show you a close up of those until the Mom’s have gotten them!

Now off you go to the Stamping Ground to find something marvelous to look at!
