AND ALL THE NIGHT'S MAGIC SEEMS TO WHISPER AND HUSH,
AND ALL THE SOFT MOONLIGHT SEEMS TO SHINE IN YOUR BLUSH
Good old Van Morrison - listen here
Here's one version of the desk....
Last Friday, in fact! What, or rather WHO, you can't see is Julia who is out of shot on the left. Perhaps if we call her name loudly enough, she'll lean into the picture and say hello, lol!! Actually, maybe you don't want to hear what she was saying cos she was giving me earache for getting a nervous twitch over the skewed patchwork pieces! My OCD struck again...I would be SO much happier if they were straight but I was a brave girl and strayed out of my comfort zone!
Anyway, this is what they ended up as....a cosmetics bag for a 16th birthday present. This is from a Debbie Shore tutorial...very easy to follow!
I busted some scrappy stash by making these lavender pillows and hearts for fundraising for my band....
and this mini craft tote is a present for a friend. She has received it by now so it's safe to share :-) I couldn't find a pattern I liked so made one up myself, it's ok for a desk tidy that you could just pick up and carry elsewhere. Recognise the fabric Kay??
Other things are on the desk now but I can't show you today...must remember to take a couple of pics for next week.....
A goldfinch enjoying himself on the feeder. He's saying 'Oi, do you mind. no photos while I'm eating, please'.......
Isn't this amazing? I was coming home from band practice last week and noticed an aeroplane con trail was being highlighted by the full moon. It looked like the most beautiful, celestial feather. Kudos to Mr LLJ for such a fab pic :-)
Have a great week, crafty or otherwise!
