So there you have it. Welcome to What's-On-Your-Workdesk-Wednesday!

My new hole-punching grommet maker tool rocks!!! I had been using an extremely old hand-me-down to seal eyelets. But, I had a wonderful trip to Michaels for some amazing sales with coupons, and got my powerful tool for 19 dollars. It's normally around 30. It punches holes in chipboard, fabric, and light tin--and it has several settings for different sized eyelets. Best tool I've gotten in a long time! I'm sure you all already have one--I'm probably the last crafter on the planet to get this awesome thing!
Can you tell I'm excited?

Anyhoo...to my Downton Abbey peeps, I just want to say I can't wait until the season finale next week!! At the same time, I can't believe they don't make more episodes for a season--and what's with introducing new characters this late in the season--and oh my gosh, thank goodness Bates is home!!! I was also watching The Story of England, right before Downton, and LOVE it. I'm completely fascinated.
Next week, on Tuesday, I'm posting a blog about making my bohemian bag--so here is a sneak peek of it, all finished--some of you had wanted to see it! Also--FYI--that very heavy antique iron in some of my pics is very handy to set on fabric that I want to keep smooth--but I don't really use it! Tee hee!
EAT, WRITE, DREAM, AND STITCH YOUR HEART OUT

Oh love your bag! What a good idea to send seeds! I love that tool. I have bad hands due to an injury, and that tool,is my favorite. It is sooooooo easy to punch through anything!

I'm glad you love your crop o dile, Sandy. I've had mine years and still love it.
ReplyDeleteYou bag is absolutely stunning and I love the idea of sending seeds instead of flowers, my type of gift!!
We are waiting for the new series of Downton too, not 'till September here. We have had a Xmas special though but that was tooooo sad.
Happy WOYWW

Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to send flower seeds! Aren't you somethin'! Your boho bag is great too. I'll be stopping by to see the tutorial - although sewing and me don't get along.....
I imagine they have the plastic shower curtain liners at the dollar store. I bought mine at either TJ Maxx or Ross for about $3.00! Thanks for visiting me already!
Happy WOYWW

Such a good idea to make the cards with packets of seeds. Your vintage style tote bag is super too.

Your seed cards are a brilliant idea. Can't wait to see more of the boho bag!
ReplyDeleteSending flower seeds is such an excellent idea. You could use it for spring stuff, too. April #119
ReplyDeleteNever mind the crafting…what a beautiful pussy cat. He looks so full of importance, as they all do when they want your attention. Give him a bug cuddle from me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your new tool. I love mine, if only for the fact you can set the distance from the edge and get them all in the same place, which was something I always struggled with.
Beautiful bag too, such pretty colours.
Thanks for stopping by this week.
Happy Crafting!
