My little one has had tonisllitus for a week ... but will be back at school today ... either that or I will be rocking quietly in a corner LOL!!!
As it is Wednesday it is time to share my crafting space with blogland ans have a snoop at everyone else's courtesy of the wonderful
Julia.
So this is my desk as I left it last night ...
I altered a file folder a couple of weeks ago with the aim of using it as a colour reference. I love Design Seeds palettes and have a board of them on Pinterest but I find it time consuming looking at them on the ipad ... I get slightly distracted by all the fabulous colour palettes and photos. So I have printed out my favourite ones to stick in the folder ... I just need to organise them into colour groups!!! Let that fun commence!
And here are the things from the pat couple of weeks on my desk all finished ...
The bunting ...
- the sewing machine and cat survived the bunting making, and I had lots of fun decorating the flags with flowers and butterflies.
And Ellie LOVES it!!
And the wedding invites ...
We went with the organza bow, but off to the side, and larger pearls, and ivory (although they are more white to me!!). All finished and ready to go when the envelopes arrive! And I have been paid to make them as well as for the materials if you see what I mean ... NEC fund added to :)

That bunting is beautiful - the embellishments lift it above the ordinary. You have way more patience than me to do that - but that huge smile is the main reason, isn't it?? Looks like she loves it and that's the important thing!!

Oh and I have candy if you fancy a shot,
Well done on the invites and bunting - looking good. Sorry about your DD and hope she is feeling better - tonsillitis is a complete pain.
This is the second post mentioning Pintrest, haven't got in to it yet as I spend far too much time on the computer as it is - decided I need another couple of hours in each day.

PS if your commenting opens in a new window, I usually succeed - if not, if you see this for approval I’ll consider it a Blogger miracle!
The bunting looks wonderful Ellie's lovely cheeky smile shows how much she loves it, gorgeous! Those wedding invites are stunning, the folder sounds like a brilliant idea, have fun creating, glad to hear the cat and sewing machine survived, not sure that mine would, so the sewing machine stays in the cupboard hehe Have a great week Lou #84

Well done Cathy, those invites are real show stoppers...now you've been paid - all worth it!!! No wonder Ellie's happy, the bunting is so cheerful a nd fun, great stuff. So what's next for your busy desk I wonder..
Bunting and invites are so beautiful. I do sympathise with your little win being sick. My daughter at 16 had her tonsils out a month ago, she says it is such a relief to not be sick all through winter. Hope things improve quickly for your little one.
The wedding invites look as though they turned out beautifully and that bunting is just so fresh and spring like... I hope you post a pic of it hanging for us.... happy woyww
Very nice work--looks like you've really been busy. Thanks for sharing!
Cute bunting. Gorgeous wedding stationery.
Beautiful bunting, Ellie looks so happy, and fantastic wedding stationary, bet you're glad that's over and done with.
