๐ ๐๐คธ♀️ Goooood morning๐ค it's time for another look at what's on my workdesk ๐ linking up to the lovely Julia who hosts WOYWW over at the Stamping Ground ๐If you'd like to join in or find out more ... then please hop on over ๐ the more the merrier ๐
Oh my, thank you so much for all the kind comments last week on my post ๐ค truly appreciated they are ๐
Toooo ... yep ... ⬆️ that's my desk this morning ๐ YOOOU may not BELIEVE me ... BUT ... I had a tidy around my desk, under, over ... along with a clear out in my cupboards ... I DID I PROMISE ... BUT then I got my PAINTS ๐จ back out ๐
๐๐๐ and it looks like last week ... again ๐
Though you can see my paints are now in a basket ๐ underneath ... things ๐
the closest I get toooo being ... organised lol!
What am I up toooo ... well ๐ค my girlie I'm painting isn't toooo sure about her hair colour ๐ so she's having a rest ... whilst ... I paint my Soul Whispers on large ceramic hearts ๐ I'm trying out different paints ๐จ
Much more chalky than what I'm used tooo ... though I'm loving the subtle colours ๐
I'm singing away tooooo
" Yoooou are my sunshine "
as I type ๐ต๐ค๐ถ bet you're glad our blogs don't have any sound ๐

Drawing ✏️
Painting ๐จ
Losing myself in old books ๐searching for just the right words!
This is what I've been filling my days with ๐ to add to my shop next week ❤️ each one created with so much love ๐ as they come to be.
Stretching myself with colours ๐ with new paints ๐จ with my favourite music ๐ถ ever present filling the air ๐ such peace it brings as I listen ๐ฅฐ calling on my Angels to guide me ๐
I've also been stitching ๐ชก a few๐งต Keepsake Badges for a few swaps I'm hosting over in my Facebook group.
I can share this wee one ⬆️ as it's been received along with an ATC and a little bundle of fabric ... the others are in the post ๐ฎ How I love working with scraps of fabric ... my stitches ๐ชก maybe ... wonky ... but stitched with looove they are ๐ You'll see on my desk I'm still creating Soul Whisper fabric badges ... just waiting on the catches ๐ชก Pssst ... I might have used words from one of my new stamp sets on the badge that will be out later this year ๐ and on the envelope ๐๐ฅฐ She's peeking at you ๐
I don't think I ever shared this stitcherie ๐ชก from a past swap on here ...
How I loooved gathering up all my scraps of Tilda fabric ❤️ layering them up ๐ loose threads dangling ๐งต stitches added ๐ชก though wonky ... filled with so much loooove ๐ words added from across my stamp collection, stamped and fixed in place ๐ to remind YOU that you're never alone ๐ค
Our Angels ๐ always by our side ⭐️ Searching for the perfect words out of my collection of old books ๐ฅฐ to finish the whispers.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit ๐ฅฐ as much as I ๐ have had typing it up ๐ Thank yoooou so much for stopping by ๐ค
⭐️ I wish YOU a week full of much love ❤️ and joy๐ as the minutes slip past ๐
Right back to my desk ... exciteed to finish what I'm doing and start on the WOYWW ATC's ๐คธ♀️
BIG hugs ๐ค

It's always a pleasure to visit your desk as everything makes me smile as I move along it. I love how you expand your gorgeous designs in so many different ways and materials. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x6x.
ReplyDeleteI really love that last piece you showed us and am full of admiration at how you made it. I love all the layers, text and threads and so wish I could do things like that, but I can’t - abstract is so very hard to make look effortless!! Like the look of the new paints too, they give a different effect but work very well.

So much love, joy and hope oozes from your writing. ❣️ I love coming back to your blog again and again. ๐ฅฐ Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gift ๐ Love & hugs, Sue. ๐๐ผ♀️
ReplyDeleteYou know I love visiting, that’s why you show stuff to make me drool. Those hearts! I’m delighted that even if you tidied up and sorted out, your desk settles back into surrounding you and being full of stuff…if it did it, it wouldn’t be home for your ideas! Loving the stitched ATCs, I don’t have any fabric scraps that would come together like that!
ReplyDeleteYour fabric badges are glorious! I love your painted hearts as well.
ReplyDeleteThere’s always so much joy in your post.
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

I'm doing a quick catch up of my favourite blogs in a brief break from my sewing...I'd had 4 customers before 9.30 this morning [crazy!!!].
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to make me smile.....my heart is singing now. My little grandson used to sing 'you are my sunshine' :-)
Hugs,
Annie x # 9
Oh what a gorgeous stitchy post you have created there Tracy - just my thing. I love all the textural stitchiness and layers. x x Jo
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful work on display today. That stitching project is gorgeous, full of texture and beauty. I am now singing “You are my sunshine …” all together now ๐ค๐ค. I haven’t been able to open Julia’s site for some reason so no number ! Happy WOYWW. Angela CWJ
ReplyDeleteYour circle stitcherie is absolutely wonderfully gorgeous. All those tiny flowers and those words and everything. What a work of art - treasured by someone no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI love the hearts you are painting, the colour of the hair on your girls is beautiful and I do like the chalky finish the paints seem to have.
Oh Tracy, you write the sweetest words in your blog, always a pleasure to read.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
ALways wonderful to see all the eclectic work you do Tracy. Loving all the latest pieces. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #1
ReplyDeletethe ceramic hearts are beautiful! So is the stitched piece, too. Thanks for visiting and I am glad you enjoy the Kew posts too. Have a great week. Happy WOYWW Helen #2
ReplyDeleteOMG the things you can do with a wandering pen, or a pile of tiny fabric scraps, or a few drops of paint...I am always torn. Do I leap right to your blog when I see the full WOYWW list or do I leave it till the end as a treat to myself for finishing my visits? LOL! The ceramic heart is stunning (I like chalky paint best) and the hoop is simply superb. All a visual feast, and now I am full of inspiration...
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW ( just a day late :D )

Ah super visit today, love the ceramic hearts. Your pinny is super cool too, why am I not surprised! lol. Adore the stichery too.
ReplyDeleteBoots called me and agreed my experience was appalling and will be sending me a gift card as an apology, found out they don't currently have a manager which might account for it, I was called by a manager from a nearby branch, she was lovely. Not heard from my reglazer yet....Hugs BJ#15
Hi Tracy, thank you for your visit! Yuor desk is always such a delight filled with wonderful things I would love to emulate - those hearts!! A tidy desk is no match for a creative one!! Have a wonderful week, love n hugs Cindy xx
