What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday? #263

My desk looks just the same as last week so I won’t bore you with it, nor the details that led to the complete lack of crafting (or blogging) over the last few days.

However, I do have one or two lovely things to share with you. Another quilt square arrived on Saturday morning, accompanied by some of my favourite chocolate. Deb cleverly took her inspiration from my blog name/header.

Then, yesterday, this little beauty arrived. It has caused Deb a bit of anxiety on its travels as it took longer than expected to get here. Well worth the wait and it came on just the day I needed a little cheer in the mail.

At lunchtime I had an unexpected delivery of some goodies from By Hand London. You might remember me sharing a link to their Kickstarter project a few months ago. This was a reward for pledging. I just love the Anna dress in the illustration. It’s on my “To Sew” list….one of these days. Probably without the thigh high split!

So, that’s me, for today. Hop on over to Julia’s place for more lovely deskers.

Kickstarter ~ Print your Own

So you’ve found the perfect pattern and you have in mind the fabric you want, but you just can’t find it anywhere. Wouldn’t it be great if you could design it yourself and then print as much as you needed for your project? If By Hand London get the funding they need, through Kickstarter, then we’ll be able to do exactly that.

Having been very envious of American sewing bloggers who have access to a service like this through Spoonflower, I would love it if they reach their target. I’ve pledged, might you be interested in doing that too?

PS There is a lovely selection of sewing patterns on their website. The Anna dress is on my wish list.
