My desk this week doesn't look much different then it does most of the time but there has been a lot going on around and on it! Here is what it looks like tonight...
 |
| My desk is still a mess but less so then last weeks picture! There are some roller stamps that I took off the roller and I am putting some Aleene's Tack It Again and Again glue on so I can use them on clear blocks. I bought an insert to go in the center of the roundy round tools organizer that holds gems etc on clips that I am in the process of hanging some things on. My knitting is off to the left. |

|
I went to a stitch and gritch (or whatever you want to call it) the other night with my daughter and she tossed needles and yarn at me and told me to start to knit...sounded a lot like I did many years ago when I was trying to teach her to knit but for some reason she just didn't catch on. Now she knits faster, neater, and more difficult projects then I do!
 |
| I am hoping this will become a scarf in a short while! |

Thought I would share a tag I made for a swap. I bought a new Cricut cartridge and decided to try out the dress and dress form that was on it. Different then what I normally turn out but not bad all things told.

No mess there ... just looks like a great place to craft, to me! Keep those needles sharpened and keep going... you'll get there. I thought it was going to be a knitted ATC at first glance, tee hee!
ReplyDeleteLove your tag...

Knitting is such a great way of feeling like you are accomplishing something when the sofa calls! Love that tag too. Hugs, Buttons #79
ReplyDeleteOh I love your tag, great background.. What a lovely color yarn, what are you making? I love the thing you have on the right hand corner with all your bling hanging on it, can we have a closer look next week. I am wondering is it a stand or hanging from the ceiling. Sandy :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is a Stitch and Gritch????? ...love the wool colour.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is such fun ...love the colour tones and theme.
I am sure we are called 'cat ladies' ...people always call to see if we have their lost cats ...thank fully they dont drop any in ...we can find enough for ourselves lol.xx#8
Hi Vickie - hope you got all the gritching out of your system ;-) You need to speed up with the scarf as there is a chill in the air - definitely too much gritching and not enough knitting ha ha - love the heathery tones. Have a fun week and Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 102
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW. It must be the weather, but I am actually planning to try some knitting again, after a break of several years. I do miss all the gorgeous yarn. Your tag is gorgeous. Ali x #106
ReplyDeleteI think the knitting needles are out on a lot of woyww desks this week. Love the dressform tag and the background on the tag is great.
ReplyDeleteSandra @105
Yes, when it gets cold I get tempted by knitting and crochet, but all I really want to do is play with paper in the end :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colours.

Happy WOYWW
Your tag is adorable and that yarn is sooo pretty! I'm working on a butterfly scarf right now. It looks like something complicated, but it's really so easy, just using the knit stitch, and a little counting. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #36 (p.s., you can see my butterfly scarf on my desk today--maybe we'll both finish our scarves before winter!)
ReplyDeleteHello Vicki, your desk looks so busy, where do you find the time for all the projects you do. I love the look of the yarn you are using for the scarf. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx 4
ReplyDeleteYour knitting looks very promising. I have knitted sice I was seven....have fun!

Oooh I love the tag - right up my street! Nice busy desk there too. Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl no. 66
ReplyDeleteLove that yarn you're using Vicki, looks hand dyed. I have a friend who calls herself a "freestyle knitter" as in she never follows a pattern. Her projects are amazing, she incorporates beads, feathers and all manner of trim. Anyway great desk as usual and I love the tag.

Oooo, I love the colour of that wool Vicki!
ReplyDeleteCan’t say I’ve hand knitted for years, in fact for more that fifteen years and then it was only to had knit ribs for garments done on my knitting machine. You never know, one day I might just get the needles out again.
Happy Crafting!

What an adorable tag!!
ReplyDeleteLove the little dress form :)
Like I said on another post, sometimes I really wish I knew how to knit. And add to that make quilts :)

The desk looks great. Love the tag, but do not love knitting too much - I had to knit way too much when my 4 kids were small.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

I was away from my desk last week and couldn't leave any comments so I'm trying to get around as many of my blogging friends today.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colour of your wool....have fun with the knitting.

Knitting is something I've never done, or even tried! I think it's awesome that you knit, and that your daughter learned from you and knits too!!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is totally amazing! I love the cricut images! What cartridge is it?
Happy WOYWW!
xxDaniella
the images came off the new Artiste cartridge that Close to My Heart is selling now. It has all sorts of fun things on it.
DeleteThanks for stopping by, love your sewing tag, I love all stuff sewing. BJ#19
ReplyDeleteLike the tag and colour of your yarn. I've been knitting as well this week- find it relaxing. Your desk looks so full of fabby stuff. Happy WOYWW Anne x #149
ReplyDeleteLots of new territory for you this week then with knitting & a new cartridge to play with ! Have fun ! Ali #53
ReplyDeleteA roundy round organiser, huh? Sounds like fun. Do you whizz it around and see where it stops and then use what's in front of you? That's a bit like crafting Russian Roulette!! I take it you like living dangerously then...storm chasing and now gambling with your gems... :D
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #73 xx
I'm going to learn to knit in a few weeks! Or crochet. I can't remember which. But I'm really excited! And your desk does look a lot tidier this week. What happened?! :) Also loving the little tag you made, even if its different from your usual style! Thanks for popping by my blog already and leaving me a sweet comment. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a super rest of the week!
Deeyll #77

ReplyDeleteFunny about the jaffa cakes, we had to bring some back for my son who also loves them! We get the Grans to bring them over with them twice a year!

ReplyDeleteWell, we can see your desk this week! LOL! I could not knit to save my life! more holes than wool in my finished products... Show us when you are done what it is please...
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of that knitting you are doing - what are you making? Nosey folks want to know.
ReplyDeleteLovely tag, such bold bright colours.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet 33 xx
Knitting is not for me, glad it's you. Love the wool colour though. Your tag is gorgeous, love the dress.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Hi Vickie love your tag. I'm with you with knitting I was shown as a child but have never really taken it up.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Thursday as I'm playing catch up today.
Hugs Erika. #93
What a fun looking desk you have this week! My daughter is WAY better at anything yarn related than I am!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!!! My son didn't freak out about his old room being my craft room...he's 30 years old, so he BETTER not! Haha!!

Hi Vickie,
ReplyDeleteI am just now getting around to desks (bad me). Your knitting project looks beautiful - love the yarn colors!
Your tag is great! I must confess, I haven't started on my mouse trap yet..... I've been focusing on getting things done for the November craft fair that I'm in.
Thanks for visiting me and I'm sorry it's taken me so long....
Hugs,
Kay
