WOYWW - 176

Phew, I was still flying at 30,000 feet here on Sunday after the fun of Saturday's WOYWW Crop. Ha, and then today I remembered that Julia gave us some homework to do.

In a lovely little goodie bag, along with chocklits (as if we truly could eat another morsel for 24 hours), and a darling pincushion made by Jan (thank you so much) - our WOYWW leader had included this:
A little cello bag with the above ingredients in, so for fear of being in bother for late homework, this is what I rustled up yesterday afternoon - amazing how bleached the colours are in the photo below, the piccie above shows the lovely richness:)
I just backed the spotty plastic stuff with double sided sticky film and (badly) trimmed round it, used the little scrap of lace as 'smoke from the chimney', stuck the house on top, used the flower and topped it with a red button threaded with twine, then stamped an Elzybells sentiment and topped off the letter 'i' with a single red gem.

Now I have a leftover strip of red spotty ribbon, more red gems, some clear ones and a satin heart to play with...........that could be even more taxing :)

To see what others may have made (and they'll have been much more inspired I know 'cos they were all so talented) - hop over to Julia's for a nose, and you'll find a shed load of fascinating desks (and Helen's floor) to see I'm sure!

Happy WOYWW :)

  2. ooh Di - you are on the ball aren't you?!???

    How lovely of Julia and Jan to gift you some homework - they are so thoughtful, even after all their hard work at making it happen.

    I've enjoyed reading some of the different accounts of the day from different perspectives - I still have a few ladies to go and visit and read their story. Next time for me hopefully!

    Love the little house - love the polka dots, especially in red. I might case that card next time I need one...

    big hugs and happy WOYWW 176

  4. Homework! You didn't tell me about that - nice work though. Love the spotty stuff and I like the way you've used the lace to represent smoke - clever :) Still reading reports of the crop and still envious ... I'll get over it ... some day. Here's wishing you a great week and a happy WOYWW. Hugs, Elizabeth x #40

  6. Didn't you do well? Mine is barley opened, let alone worked on! And DOH! I am not entirely sure we even made eye contact when you passed out your little bookmarks!! You may note on my blog I said I had no idea who made them, yet I had a sort of image of you in my head. I just was incapable of linking the face I was seeing with your name! And we actually spoke for quite a which should have solidified thing in my feeble brain. No matter - I LOVE my bookmark and have it in service already (marking my place in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail - too much drama in the upcoming election, better to hark back to 1972!) and it even matches, colourwise, the book cover.

    Lovely to meet you, and now you are totally in my head so watch out in Morrisons! :)

  15. Love the lacy smoke!! That's a clever idea and it works really well :D
    Dunno about you, but I was pooped on Sunday and have spent the rest of the week chasing my tail.....

  26. Hello Di,

    Great card! I think a polka dot house would be VERY fun to live in! I've really enjoyed seeing everyone's photos of the Crop. I wonder if it's going to be a yearly thing..... or perhaps having one in Santa Fe?!?

    Happy WOYWW
