WOYWW - flowers and a mess!

It's Wednesday again so time to show off my desk for WOYWW. I haven't crafted since Monday as I am off work since Tuesday with a very sore throat and feeling run down and dreadfully achey and laid up on the sofa with the dog :-( I had a day's holiday Monday so I had a bit of a play making my own flowers so this is what my desk looks like today.

Here's a close up of what I got up to. I made a felt flower and a fabric flower using M+S mens hankies whicj I bought to cut up as I could not resist the colours. I made a ribbon rose with pink striped ribbon, a lace flower, the red one is made in the same way as the felt and fabric flowers but with screwed up tissue.
There are also a couple of tulle flowers, a polka dot ribbon flower and my favourite, a paper flower made inspired by the tutorial in the latest Magnolia Ink magazine.
I hope you enjoyed looking around my desk. If you want to see more and share a photo of yours, please pop over to the lovely Julia's lovely blog for more What's on your Workdesk Wednesday fun.

    I must go and investigate my Magnolia mag again! Your desk looks very creative...I've had a sort out and tidy up...But I have lost my very important blog book today with lots of addresses and picture ideas in so I am panicking a bit! Must carry on the search!
