Blank white boxes covered and waiting the next layer - ideas drafted underneath, a second set of nesting boxes this time in black (and a pad full of graphic 45 wizard of oz paper lined up and ready). A sketch of the catbus from My Neighbour Totoro for a bag idea I have using felt. And in the background (so below a close up) the 2 bags I made since last week - I'm pretty chuffed and the reversible one on the right I knocked up in 2 and a half hours - not bad I figured.
So in the spirit of keeping it brief have a good week and head on over to Julia's (follow the WOYWW link on the right) and wallow in desks galore, meet up for chats with friends old and new.

Love that skeleton fabric! Those boxes are great where did you get them from? You're very lucky I have that pad from Graphic 45 and I keep getting it out and looking at it and putting it away I cannot bring myself to use it!! Thanks for sharing your creative workspace x
Bless you for the spirit! Still, hasn't stopped me enjoying and being a bit jealous about your full flow mojo, gracious you've got so much on the go! Well done with the boxes..I think you get this week's multi tasker badge!

Thanks for sharing, Hugs, Neet (unbelievable I am #1 this week)
Gorgeous bags, missus!! Just read your comment on my blog - oilcloth will tax your patience, but stick with it. You will need a heavy duty needle, size 16 I think, used for jeans etc. Set the stitch to a longer version of the normal one you usually use. And then sew slowly. I put a hand around the back of the machine to very gently pull the oilcloth through, it does have a tendency to stick if you're topstitching on to the vinyl surface. The reverse cloth side is not so bad. Good Luck and let me know how you get on :) Hugs, LLJ xxxx
(Hey, good hints there LLJ! ) Nice work on the bags, and the boxes are starting to look lovely... thanks for stopping by! I understand what you mean about not scrapping except at classes - it took me going to a crop to turn out 4 layouts in one hit!
Oh dear it's me again! Thank you for the advice re the boxes so hard to believe they are hand made!!! I have now watched the mammoth video on how to make them - phew! My next problem is I can't find anyone who sells the chipboard in this country, could I possibly ask where you got yours from? Thanks so much for your help xx
Thanks for the birthday wishes -just taking a break to check out my WOYWW blog buddies. Great little bags - I am hoping to sell a few of ours at the craft fair on Sat. x Jo
I meant to say - tried to comment last week and blogger wouldn't let me. So sorry to hear about your cousin and do hope news is better this week. Thinking of you x Jo
Lovely boxes, I saw on another comment you'd left that it was dolls house paper, and on clicking I could see that! I had a home made dolls house when I was a kid and I remember that brick paper!! Love the bags too, well done you!

Dear Wendy,
Sarah again to say an enormous THANK YOU for my wonderful gift!!! I absolutely love it, will cherish it and will not be recycling it!!! It is so much more than just paper, full of love, fabulous colour and wonderfully made. I have a soft spot for sweet colours and patterns just like these and I love the amazing concertina folds, the tags and the darling flowers. Love it. My weekend is looking bright. I will share it on my blog very soon!
Your boxes and bags are great.
Carol
