What's on your Workdesk Wednesday 150 - WOYWW

It's that time of week! Click here to see some more workdesks.
I have been mulling over a few ideas recently and here I'm trying out a few designs.
 Also on the desk is my patchwork picture still waiting to be hung, a pile of freebies from magazines, some D-I-Y bunting,
my new Emma Bridgewater tin and a desk planner given to me by my son on Mother's Day.
Thankyou to everyone who visited my blog last week, and to those who gave me advice on my patchwork throw. I am going to go with the increasing the backing fabric option...eventually!
I loved visiting all the desks but sadly didn't have enough time to comment on them all - must try harder!
Thanks for visiting.
 If you like sewing I'm having a giveaway of a Tilda book, see the previous post.

  6. I'm a sucker for tins...and that Emma B one is fab, I love it. There are, however, only so many tins that one woman can use..and tha's why I'm not buying any more, lol!
    I still adore that frame with the cotton reels in, so simple yet so right :)

  13. Hello Suzanne, your desk shot is lovely - having all those pretty things and cheery colours around you has to be inspiring. Your patchwork square is fab and such a great idea ... I think I could just about cope with a patchwork project that size. Thanks for your comment and opting to follow me ... you have a lovely blog and I have returned the compliment. Happy WOYWW.

  18. Ok, so a quick look at Aunty Google has told me who Emma Bridgewater is (I think I just developed a new "need"), but who/what/where ref the set of stamps in the tin, and the ones you've been stamping with are lovely - which manufacturer are they?

    Thanks for stopping by!

    There is a queue for Monkey so I think I had better pack him a case of monkey nuts for the journey!
