Hi Everyone!
What's On YOUR Workdesk this fine Wednesday morning ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY FROM CHRISTMAS DAY!?!?!?! I haven't even written my cards or wrapped any presents yet .... but I still feel strangely calm .....
Here is my workdesk today (Blimey I really need to ask Father Christmas for a new cutting mat!) ...

... not a lot going on, but I'm gathering a few crafty bits and bobs together for some portable projects I can do over the next couple of weeks whilst I can't get into my workroom, because it will be full of big hairy son who is coming home for Christmas (wooHOO!) so my workdesk will be my lap or a corner of the dining table.
You know how annoying it is when your iPod earphones get all tangled in your bag? Well there are loads of tutorials online for crocheting around the cable to stop this happening and they look really pretty as well, so I'm planning to have a go at that with these gorgeous embroidery silks my friend Kate gave me when she had a clear out ...
And I also want to use up some of my paper scraps to make beads ...
... and experiment with various ways of decorating them. These are heat embossed ...
It would be nice to make a whole lot of them in different shapes and colours, ready to add to art journals and mini albums, and I can even make them on a lap tray in the sitting room, so they'll be a perfectly portable project!
What are your favourite portable projects?
If you would like to see what everyone else is up to, or share your workdesk with the world, pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in the fun :o)xxx

My mat is worse, be comforted, and my DS is due home too - hairy and smelly ratio of the house will double LOL!
Sorry to be late but now I can get to my desk, it's commenting time - pop back to see my tidy-up 85% done....
Happy last WOYWW before Christmas!
