Todays wip & my workspace

Look, how tidy and organised I am when I'm crafting...

(I am being sarcastic by the way!)

I know, I'm messy!. I'm like
Monica from 'Friends', obsessive when it comes to coasters and crumbs, always hoovering. But, my work room is a bit like Monica's closet!

Anyway, here's this mornings wip, now finished, hedgehog pattern slightly adjusted, am much happier with this version.

And, as I was photographing my desk, I wanted to show you my favorite thing on it (apart from the bar of yummy swiss chocolate I've just finished eating!), my little dish of buttons I use for eyes and noses.

They look good enough to eat too!

I've got some of those buttons too and they really are lovely! I don't think I would be able to keep them in a bowl though because I think the children just HAVE to play with them!

Your hedgehog is looking lovely and if you think your work area is a mess you should see mine right now - although on second thoughts, perhaps you shouldn't!!! ;)

Your hedgehog is lovely and the buttons really do look good enough to eat!

I love the buttons! They really do look like candies! The new hedgie is looking good and more hedgie-like. Although I did like the original one too.

I'm exactly like you in Monica tendancies - the house is always spotless, but I craft messily and things occassionally fall out and attack me when I open cupboards.

I love the button bowl! x

I love those buttons. I have some too, though I have never seen the triangle ones.

I have a lot of the same little buttons that I keep in a jelly jar. Love to use them! Just used some for centers on some flowers.
