For those of you who are wondering why I would be mentioning my craft desk, pop over to Julia's blog where you will find desks from all corners of the world to poke around in and enjoy:)
So here is my offering this week.
Click on the picture and you will see everything more clearly.
I'm making a bag using some Ikea striped fabric for the inside and this
fabric on the outside.
My desk on the other side has my sewing machine on - even this is quite tidy.
If you are wondering what I keep in all the little drawers - ribbons! Above them in the bright blue box are all my threads, to the left of that is a bag of rice (don't ask!) and in the clear box to the right of the blue are the elastics I used on my iPad covers and on top of that is my ATG gun. In the blue and clear set of drawers next to the sewing machine I keep the buttons I sell on Etsy/Folksy and in front of that is another set of drawers which my husband covered in used stamps and varnished. At the moment, these are empty but I'm thinking I might keep my pom pom trim in them.
Much later on....
the bag is finished apart from pressing and a few threads need tying off:)

WOW that fabric is gorgeous Susi. I would not have chosen that if I saw it on the shelf but now I've seen it as the finished bag, it's fab :D

Thank you for a peek at your work space and that bag is gorgeous :) We went to IKEA the other day...so many lovely things we always spend a fortune - glad I didn't stop by the fabric :D
Such a great crafty space! Loving that fabric you picked up in IKEA.That store is my fav, and my stamp room is all from there! Love your bag! A friend of mine made me a pillow once with dry feed corn that you heat in a microwave. Off to check out your shop! Thanks for the visit! winnie#76

LOVE your bag fabric!!! So wild and wacky and the striped fabric is perfect for your handles and lining! I love making tote bags, they're my go to when inspiration fails me :)
I have a very similar Janome machine...it's not whizzy or computerised just heavy duty and wonderful!
Hugs, LLJ 35 xxxx

thanks for dropping by .. Tinkerbells nearly ready to fly.....I have spent the rest of the day finishing them.
LOVE that bag!!! I have loads of materials from Africa, making bags is better than making tablecloths and napkins......

Great fabric and design! I have now had a glass of wine and I am still trying to visit everyone so my message may be incoherent lol! jenx 129!
Wonderful bag! I love all of those drawers, so handy for all of the loose pieces of ribbon. :-)

Your bag is stunning but I was drawn to your box covered in stamps - it's really pretty and I've just posted on Facebook asking people to send me stamps; inspiring stuff!!

Super bag. Love both fabrics. IKEA has the most amazing fabrics...I try to stay out of that department when I go.
The box your husband made with the used stamps is adorable.
Thanks for sharing.
