My latest creation is called a large junk journal pocket inspired by a video I watched HERE by Joie de fi. I just glued my layers on, I didn’t sew. I really enjoyed finding different bits and pieces to insert into all the pockets.
Next, my ribbon collection:
Today, I’m sharing my ribbon instead of my work surface for What’s on your work desk Wednesday. I store all my thin rolls of ribbon by color in a yard sale children’s dresser that has four drawers that aren’t too deep. The bottom drawer holds some of the wide non-holiday ribbons and all the misc. others that don’t fit in a category. The plastic containers for my scraps I found at the thrift store. I believe they stored beanie babies or small dolls to display and protect from dust. I’ll have to share my holiday ribbon in December if you enjoy seeing this! I have several under the bed rolling containers filled with pretty wide ribbon.
House renovation update:
Here are the latest pictures of the kitchen with the cabinets going in:
And the Office:
Enjoy the rest of your week!

The kitchen is looking good. I love how you’ve got your ribbon organised and pleased to see I’m not the only one that seems to have so much though I think you may have beaten me though it might just be that I don’t know where it all is actually. Wishing you a happy week and a very creative woyww, Angela x12x
