WOYWW 17 August - "Catching Up"

It's been a few weeks so maybe I will do a "catch up" post for you.

 Here's what's on my workspace today.

As usual it's more or less a "mish mash" of just started and half finished bits and pieces.

From left to right, there's a little "canvas" made of leftovers, nearly finished, just waiting on a bit of glueing. It's sitting on a piece of sort of handmade paper that I've been fiddling with and those wood mounted stamps of snowflakes will be used with the altered paper. They stamp very nicely but those clear stamps on top of them do not seem to work very well. (No idea why not.)

And there's another "altered" blue page (for use with the snowflake stamps).

 And the Narnia page is almost finished. It is the third last page in the HOH series and will be sent out by the end of the month, so it might actually arrive early, I expect.

Now, because it's Winter here, I have been doing a bit of knitting.

 So ... I can show you, not one, but two, finished berets!

If you are interested in the technical details ... they are knitted in 8 ply

 (or double knitting) pure wool, on a set of double pointed needles.

 Fiddly, but I'm pleased with the end result.

And, finally, here is some "Happy Mail" which arrived a day or so ago ...

It is a brooch made of polymer clay. Isn't it gorgeous?

I also received some other lovely mail from Shaz in Oz but I will save that for next week, because it deserves a special entry.

Well, if you are not bored by now, maybe you would like to visit some more desks?

 If so, please visit Julia at the Stamping Ground. Go on, you won't be sorry!
