WOYWW 202--Yummy Yarns and Celery Stamping

Isn't it amazing how a desk can kind of stay the same over a week's time? (Visit desks all over the planet right here on Mrs. Dunnit's beautiful blog party.) Then...other weeks...your desk looks different every single day! Well--I don't know if it's trying to diet a bit, or what, but I've had a lot more energy lately. Yay me! So I finally did the celery stamping experiment. Yes...I have a lot of crap...I mean, er, craft on my desk right now. But, rest assured, I'm having fun!

So, I have a celery heart, dried out a bit, and I painted it and started stamping. I think it's quite fun, the results, and so now, I'll be stamping green more often! This could be a flower--or the Milky Way galaxy...who knows!


I've got a fun new tin of flowers to play with, and sugar-n-cream yarn finally went on sale for 97 cents. I went a little crazy. Oh well. I'm turning into the crazy crafting lady! Have a happy day at your worktable!

Minnie and Joseph can't wait to get out and soak up the sun!

    Well, if I could get yarn for cents,, I'd be an even bigger, madder, crafty lady too!! Look at that bowl of sweet, pastel tones...they remind me of sugared almonds :) have fun knitting that pile of gorgeousness!
    And while I have visions of you jumping up and down on a poor, defenceless stick of celery..... ;).......... the stamping went really well! It looks like an old fashioned rose to me. How clever and amazing is that??
    I think the reason why we get on so well is that shared sense of joy and wonder. Long may it continue :)

    What a wonderfully busy desk. That yarn is gorgeous. Love the celery painting. I wonder what effect you would get if you were to cut it at an oblique angle instead of straight across.... hmmm. Note to self - buy stick of celery. Have a great week.

    No kidding, Lindsay is right--get it while it's on sale!

    So your Minnie and Joseph look an awful lot like our Daisy and Maggie . . . only our two would never sit that close together!

    You've inspired me to cut off the bottom of my celery lol. I usually get hungry and start tearing off stalks and there's not much to print with when that is done. Thanks for visiting my blog! #15
