Desk with green cutting mat, on top of which are pieces of fabric, 2 pairs of scissors, fabric clips, double pointed needles waiting to be put away, a pile of sketchbooks with pens and a paint pallette
Messy desk, in the middle of too many projects working on costumes for the kids, jumper for me, various sketchbooks, needlefelting a picture for the wall - must be school holidays.

Black stockinette sleeve in progress with yarn ball to the right. On the left is a pretty turquoise and purple flowery needle holder. The background is teal blue and a blue stitch marker dangles from the bottom of the knitting.

Blue fabric with black lace edging to the left and clips to the right being feed through the sewing machine. There is a lot of fabric build up behind left.
There's a point in sewing a tiered skirt in which it can feel a bit like wrestling Sn octopus. Thankfully this is only 3 tiers.
