Happy August and Happy What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Just a mish-mosh of stuff on my workdesk today. \u00a0Yes, I have been busy. \u00a0No, I have not had any particular focus. Can you tell?<\/p>\n

\"2012-08-01-woyww-kitty-bed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The large blue thing on the right is a bed for my younger son’s new kittens. \u00a0About half a yard of fleece, some batting scraps and an hour or so were all that was needed. \u00a0(I didn’t use a pattern, just kind of winged it. \u00a0If you’d like rough dimension and directions, let me know.)<\/p>\n

\"2012-08-01-woyww-kitty-toys\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The little mice started their lives as heart shaped scraps. \u00a0Very easy.<\/p>\n

I made some for my cats as well, and they seem to particularly like the suede tails. The homegrown catnip is a hit, too, judging by the crazed look in their eyes.<\/p>\n

\"2012-08-01-woyww-ruffle-fabric\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to get a yard or so of ruffle fabric for some time (to make this skirt<\/a>.) \u00a0When I needed to order fabric for a friend’s project, it just seemed\u00a0wrong<\/em> not to order enough fabric to get free shipping. \u00a0(Am I right, or what?) So the ruffle fabric and the sweater knit just\u00a0sorta\u00a0leaped<\/em>\u00a0into my shopping cart. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"M6607\"<\/p>\n

The red sweater knit will be made into McCalls 6607, but not until the weather cools down a bit. It makes me hot just to look at it right now.<\/p>\n

\"2012-08-01-woyww-sketchbook\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That pile of purple\u00a0gorgeousness in the upper left is a batik skirt I made some time ago. \u00a0It survived my weight loss closet purge last year because I adore the colors. \u00a0However, it doesn’t get worn very often<\/del>\u00a0ever<\/em> because every time I put it on it makes me look twice as wide as \u00a0really am. (Not really my preferred look, lol.) \u00a0I finally got around to taking it in this week. \u00a0Happy purple ruffles, here I come!<\/p>\n

On the lower left is the print out of August’s Tim tag<\/a>, which looks like a fun one, and on the right is my sketchbook, which is getting a lot more use than I thought it might. \u00a0(If you’re interested in making your own, here are directions for making a faux leather sketchbook<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

May the rest of your week be creative.<\/p>\n
