WOYWW 79

I seem to have got into the habit of waking really early...at  silly o'clock, today being no exception. It's now 4.40am! When I was working, I would worry that I should be asleep at that hour, knowing I'd be really tired during the day. Now that I'm retired, I don't care... if I'm awake I usually do something...  read, watch tv, make a card or as just now, take pictures of my work desk, instead of lying worrying that I ought to be asleep.

Here's the clutter I left last night. I had been making some gift card wallets and voucher holders for my daughter to use for some of her Christmas gifts. It started at three and has now risen to four. I just got out a store card to use as a size guide and started playing around until I came up with something which worked.

I quite enjoyed messing around doing this kind of thing. Once I'd made the first one, I decided to make a box to put it in.
I've got two done and so... two to go!
Do you remember the pelmet I recovered for my daughter a few weeks ago? I had some bits of fabric left over and so I fiddled around the other day and made this cushion for Daisy's bedroom. I'm taking it to her tomorrow as a surprise... she's not a regular reader of my blog, so it'll still be a surprise!

It's only my second attempt at patchwork and it took me a while to work out how to attach the quilting foot on my sewing machine.  I'm going to have to take that back to the repairers as it sometimes continues to sew after I've taken my foot off the pedal.
Some folks seem to be showing off their Christmas trees this week, you can see mine on this post  here.
Have a great Wednesday and pop over to Julia's, the queen of all the snoopers and share in the fun of seeing the workdesks of the world!
