Welcome Lily

Great excitement in the family this morning, my Sister-in Law gave birth to their first child, my first niece this morning at 3.30. Her name is Lily Annabelle and both are doing well. Hope to see her this afternoon and will post a pic then.

WOYWW

I haven't had a chance to join in with this for ages so I know it's a bit late but at least I'm here. This is WOYWW which Julia hosts on her blog for all us nosey - sorry curious - crafters go to see what others get up to in their craft areas.

So here is a pic of what's on mine, unfortunately I had a bit of tidy up at the weekend as my usual push-back style had left me with about a quarter of my glass board to work in and even for me it was difficult.



I had been making a new baby card for a friend to give to her friend so there is the remnants of that making on the desk - ie baby stamps. Also been trying to start my Christmas cards and playing with my new Blue Moon Father Christmas to get some good ideas. You can also see on the left / middle of the photo (next to the cherry bakewell - which I have now demolished mmmmm) a wooden drawer which I am in the middle of decorating. I have one of those plyboard mini chest of drawers and am decorating each drawing individually to hopefully create a collage effect! - we'll see, but here is a close up of the drawer:


There is also a bead necklace that I bought in a sale - I don't like all the beads but have others I want to put on it their place - but it still sits there.

Thank you if you've taken the trouble to pop by and also if you've commented, I will pop by to as many as I can but it may take me a few days.
