This is the week of endings.
I closed the comments for On my desk...the players over the weekend.
I thank you all for playing along & letting us all have a snoop at your desks. It's been fun.
I've got another fun game to play. A few lovely girls played the teaser last week & I'm hoping you'll all play along with the next one. It is supersonically good!
absolutely flat out.
Sorry for being so absent. I'm hoping I'll be crazy busy from now until Christmas BUT that doesn't leave much time for this little patch.
On my desk today:
pencils for little tins of drawing fun. Don't they look wonderful. They make me want to dig out the Derwents. I seem to remember this girl still has hers from childhood.

Another explosion.

& Endings
An abundance of dear fii & how cool is that softie? Collaboration between myself & the big girl. It's "The Hearse Whisperer" from The Floods. She morphs into a bird when you flip her skirt.

Oops...I missed it.
This is what was on my desk yesterday.
- Op Shopped seersucker
- Op Shopped books. Some of those colouring book pages will make great embroidery.
- Op Shopped apple salt & pepper shakers. I think that they look a bit halloweenish actually.
- Combi van in progress. The big girl is making it for her book report on "The Floods".

I'm attempting to tidy up the bombsite that was once my lovely pool room. It's amazing how quickly things turn ugly.
I'm an all or nothing girl & today is going to be about the all. All about cleaning & tidying & sorting (maybe a bit about the opping too).

On my desk...the guaranteed update list.
To be sure to be included on this list you need to link back here in the body of your post. This is not a cheap trick to ensure linkage (I don't care if you never link). BUT it is the only way I know for sure that you're still playing along & I'm trying really hard to get around to everyone on this list. Thanks.
this week.
swizzle rings - you may remember the beginning of this relationship

coasters

guaranteed new desk posts can be found here.
& there's still time to enter the giveaway.
A fair bit of a mess really including:
1. Some very good tools
2. Ribbon for packaging my really super serious & extremely valuable jewellery.
3. My folder full of patterns & how to's - Some my own & some belonging to other people. It's out because I just filed my Knicker Pattern away. Watch that space if you want to make your own knickers from old t-shirts - genius.
Nice Desks: here, here & here.
On my desk ... the players.
& an insider tip: I know that the list is getting very long & not everyone posts all the time which is absolutely fine but if you want to know for certain who has posted an up-to-date desk see here.
Actually just off my desk.
More pillowcase craft.
Garment bag constructed to protect that sparkly, fandangly (& grossly overpriced) rhythmic gym leotard & matching routine music bag (to hold CDs).
Off for more of the same now.
New desks this week ... The Essess and The Crafty Librarian.
On my desk...the players.
PS: I've been a bit half baked I know but I'm waving at you all from the car window & planning a clicketty trip tonight.
You can see the standard Kirst mess is starting to creep back in.
Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.
I've been working a lot more than usual so I've dropped the ball a bit on the blog front...sorry. I'm planning on popping in for a cuppa tonight. Put the kettle on will you?
Waiting for me when I get home from work:
- Research
- Something to make me laugh
- The big girl's polaroid diary from 2001
- Mess left over from our printing date

Desks of the week: crafter, arter & maker.
- Swizzle sticks & pretty drink coasters from here. Found via this post.
- So much Paintergirl goodness from here.
- a soppy, girly movie on the portable DVD.
Ah...so much to love about the pool room.
Today it looks more like a bar!
We know all about my love of the pretty drink & my bar is my pride & joy. So it's not a giant leap that I'd be interested in a swizzle stick too.
I've been spending a lot of time looking at swizzle sticks. Last week I was trying to make a base for a fabric application from a swizzle stick. It didn't really work the way I wanted it too. I did end up making a pretty good ring though.

Fresh new desk this week.
I'm loving the pool room. It's utterly fabulous. It's lovely & neat at the moment, but I know it won't last.
On my desk this week:
more granny squares just waiting for the girls.
my hand pieced pincushion
lovely wooden apple (it's all about apples at the moment).
