WOYWW 193

Morning lovely crafters and dear WOYWW friends. How are you this chilly Wednesday. We have more snow forecast later. I can't wait for Spring to finally show it's face. It always makes me smile when I visit my WOYWW friends in Australia and can share in their lovely warm sunshine, although I know they've been having their own troubles lately.

Anyway, you came here to see my desk and not hear me moaning about the weather, so here it is.


As you can see I am preparing for that special day that is fast approaching. This is my DH's card. I'm safe showing it as he never looks at my blog. I have some chocolate hearts to go inside it. All say Ahhhhhh!!

I am obeying Julia's instructions for once and keeping it brief this week but before I go I can't help showing off the first Lillybo Quilt I've finished.


A lot of blood,sweat, tears and love went into it. After fighting long and hard with my heirloom sewing machine I remembered why I don't sew very much. Still, this was definitely worth all the effort and I'm now on number two. Hopefully, that will be easier. I have also to tackle the bags for them so don't hold your breath, Jo.

If you want to join in this brilliant weekly desk hop then pop over to see the lovely Julia, HERE.  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Wednesday whatever you are up too.

    The card is gorgeous and I'm wondering what the stamp is next to it. It looks enormous.
    Love the quilt too. So much patience to make something like that. Well done.

    Oh, what a thrill to see your quilt! I didn't think you were so far along the way. Lovely fabric and colours...It's super!
    Yes! a big Aaaah! for the Valentine.. good to keep a bit of romance.
    I love the heavy duty Aldi mats but I forget that I can paint splodge directly onto my stainless steel desk top! I do need the mats for classes or demming however and those black ones prove best quality!
    lots of love Jo x

    You are a lady of many talents Lisa!! Just love your quilt. So liked the whole idea that a group of us are trying to set something up here. Keep warm (err.... no snow just endless rain - driving me nuts as I can't get out in the garden!) Jill x

    You sew better than me, there's no way I could attempt that quilt.
    Could do with it myself it's freezing in Lancashire too.

    Aww, that quilt is going to bring lots of smiles to someone’s face Lisa, I just love that fabric. I can’t believe how generous everyone is being with the quilts and as you say, it’s such a worthy cause.
    The weather is so different here from earlier in the week. The sun is streaming through my window and it’s quite warm, so I’m going to make the most of it and get out in the garden to tidy up a bit.
    Thanks for stopping by this week.
    Happy Crafting!

    A beautiful card and a gorgeous quilt too! Hope you too have enjoyed a bit of sunshine at the weekend. Thanks for your lovely commnets. I am enjoying a bit of R&R this week as it is half term...well, I have managed a couple of days with some crafting, but we are exploring the loft contents tomorrow after having a new roof, so I may look like a chimney sweep by the time I am done! Have a great week x
