Hi everyone,
Well it's been absolutely AGES since I last joined in with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday over at Julia's blog Stamping Ground and I can't believe it's the 235th!
Today is the day we get to show the world our workspaces and what we're making AND have a good snout around other people's workdesks, admire their creations and check out their stuff - it's fascinating and it's addictive!
So, what's on my workdesk today? Body parts!
hehehehe! Not real body parts, obviously, that would be TOO weird .... but whilst I was looking for a box for my sister's birthday present, I came across this one, containing the beginnings of a cloth doll I started about 7 years ago and had completely forgotten about - I really must have another crack at it ...
Underneath the box was my messy desk at 7.30 this morning, where I was just quickly going to finish my tags for Tag Tuesday (only one day late, not 7 years!)
The theme for this week is "Angels" - you can see here some sweet images from Graphics Fairy and LunaGirl which I've been titivating with some gorgeous shimmery goodies which came in my November FrogDog kit - watercolours, Sakura pens and Distress Glitter.
The box was perfect for my sister's tag book ...
... it has pictures of her grandchildren and lots of space for her to add more. Hope she likes it :o)
Ok, that's me done - I'm off to have a nosey at someone else's workdesk now. Thanks for popping in xxx

Body parts....hmmmmm...you had me worried there! It would be good to see how they come together, so to speak!

I love the tag book and would love to see more of that. Tags are not something I've got into big time but I am always astonished at the fabulosity of the tags I see online... One day, one day!
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, and I'm so glad you like the moth card. Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you for your kind thoughts about Dad, too - very much appreciated. It is a hard time for us all, and very sad to see him so diminished after such a full life during which he gave so much to others without expecting any reward. I am full to the brim of happy memories of my lovely Dad!
Happy WOYWW,

What a wonderful tag book you made for your sis. I've gotten into the tags this Christmas and love doing them.
The body parts look amazing, maybe you can share when your finished.
Krisha #41 thanks for the earlier visit.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, too! I was very pleased with how it turned out in the end, despite the problems - the technique with the Angelina fibre works best with low detail, larger wooden printing blocks but I have had some success with rubber stamps in the past.
You are about the third person to say they'd be interested in seeing more of Dad's artefacts, so maybe I'd better do a blog post about them! I must take some photos of each one. I've got a lot of thoughts racing around in my head at the moment, tying in with an incredible book I've just read, which came at the most amazing time as it so sums up what I feel about the importance of inherited objects.
Lots to think about!

Your tag book is just gorgeous - she will be delighted :-D
Thank you for letting me snoop :-)

Following on from our conversation, yesterday I photographed each of the items separately and started making a blog post about them, which should be uploaded in the next few days.
However, sad news has since intervened, adding even more meaning to this collection - Dad passed away last night just before midnight. I have just uploaded a post about it. I was so glad to be there at the end for him, and I am now so full of wonderful memories of what he means to me. Joining your linky will be an extra special memorial and a way to celebrate what a remarkable man he was, and to share this with others.
