WOYWW #810

  It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! We are now sharing through Sarah, at Sarah's Craft Shed.

Good morning! I am writing on Tuesday morning, as I play Pickleball tomorrow. We are being blessed with freezing rain today! Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer weather. Here is my desk this morning:


Still working on my book project for Fodder School 1. I am getting the pages together ready for binding. 

Before this step, I had to make the cover of the book using many of the fabrics I had dyed:


Here is the inside cover (left side) with some pages on the right:

Then I had to practise binding with fabric pieces, so I made a practise book:


And I couldn't just leave it at that, I had to finish it!











One photo is missing, but you get the idea! So now that I have the idea of how to bind my project, I am getting my pages together with the fabrics that I want to bind it with, which is what is on my desk today. So next week...maybe a finished project? We will see!
 Here are some Christmas pics to end this post:


My Advent Calendar that my Dad gave me many years ago. It used to hold candies, but now it holds tiny Christmas ornaments for a tiny tree!




And here is Mittsy wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Mittsy loves the tree, and if you look closely you can see that all the low lying ornaments are cat toys! Inky isn't all that interested in the tree very much.

Well, have a wonderful week everyone! 


PS: I don't get a chance to visit WOYWW until at least Thursday, so check your comments on the weekend! I usually try to visit everyone

Clever lady, love the little practise book. Hope Mittsy behaves while the Christmas tree is up. Christmas trees seem to be very inviting to cats. Wishing you a good week and a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x11x

I hope Pickle Ball is played indoors if you had freezing rain! the fabric cover looks fabulous, and so does your Advent Calendar, how wonderful you have it still (though who can blame you!) Happy WoyWW Helen #2

Love the little book you made and finished - now looking forward to seeing the other one which has a fabulous cover.
Here's to the weather being fine tomorrow for your game of Pickleball.
I do like the idea of the advent calendar being handed down in the family - will you hand it down at some time to Jasper?
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
