As an aside, I'm not sure how this will effect my link this week, but I'm going to post on Tuesday night since Julia seems to post at exactly midnight my time. I can't seem to get a good spot because I have to wait for my entry to post before I can "link up."
Before I tell about what's on my desk, my beloved Bleubeard is much, much better. In fact, I'm sure he is nearly back to his normal self. I want to thank everyone for your lovely comments and concern last week. Remember to click on the photos to get the complete picture!
On my desk are some pieces for my final Project 2010 dress. I made the sheet of "fabric" out of 2" ribbon. I loved how I was able to match it so well. I used the entire roll, so I know I have to be careful when cutting the dress. And I even found some fancy ribbon that seems to match it quite well.
And look who joined me in the studio. Three little guys all ready for Christmas, along with WOYWWendy! Have a great day and, if you live in the US, have an awesome and safe Thanksgiving On Thursday.What would Wednesday be without a blog pick from the list of WOYWWers? Today is no exception. Sue at Scoopy's Stuff makes cards. She makes lovely cards. She makes sophisticated cards. She makes cute cards. She makes an eclectic mix of cards. So needless to say, she is also a rubber stamper and a member of several design teams. Sue also participates in a lot of challenges. That's probably what makes her so popular in the blogging community. Sue lives in Gosport in the UK. So, stop by tomorrow (Wednesday) and see what Sue has on her desk or up her sleeve.

Lovely tartan, can't wait to see what you do with it. Sorry I missed last week's woyww or i would have sent get well wishes to Bleubears. Glad to hear that he's on the mend now :D (43)
Also sorry I can't type, obviously I meant Bleubeard!
Yay! So glad Bleubeard is back to his old self!
The tartan sheet you have created is incredible! It must have been very fiddly to match up the ribbon just so! I am excited to see the dress you will make with it!
Thanks for visiting me last week, there were so many blogs to visit, I don't know how you did it!
xoxo Karen #82

So glad to hear that Bleubeard is better! I'm going to have to pass on WOYWW this week. Thanksgiving plans! Hope to be back at it next week.
I love your ribbon and rocking horses! I am SO glad to hear that Bluebeard is better! Tsunami wants to know if you will be preparing a special Thanksgiving meal for him this Thursday (we got an extra big turkey this year so Nam Nam will be well fed!)
Enjoy your day and have a creative weekend!

I'm not quite ready to see Christmas stuff yet. I need to get the turkey cooked and the dishes cleaned up before I can move on to the next Holiday.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Very Christmassy fabric! You could make dresses for your little rocking horses...now that would be something to blog about.
Mechanical pencils....that is a name we use too, I had forgotten that name.
Have a wonderfully creative week.

You've started!!!
Happy Wednesday to you and Bleubeard!

So glad Bleubeard is better. More cute little horses to enjoy and that fab fabric - clever you - now back to my tidying!!
I sure am glad that you did a WOYWW post this week! What would we have done without your rocking horses?
Beautiful tartan!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving yourself!
I agree with the group assembled here, Lovely tartan - its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Looks like your busy with that tartan. Missed WOYWW last week, but glad to hear that Bleubeard is recovering - give him get well cuddle from me please. Thanks for sharing more of your Rocking Horses.
I missed last week too - give Mr Bleubeard a cuddle from me and tell him I'm glad I'm better....
Or perhaps even tell him I'm glad HE'S better.... doh!
Cor blimey how long did it take you to attach all that ribbon? Hurrah for Bleubeard being on the mend. Can we see the finished dress please? DO you make or acquire your rocking horses or a bit of both?
Wow Elizabeth, you did match the ribbon up well - cannot see a join! Can't wait to see your final dress. I haven't decided what to do for my one yet.
Many thanks for the comments you left on my blog - and for your determination in visiting all of the woywwers!

Really lovely Tartan, my brother in law would be very proud!(from Scotland, ribbon looks lovely too, and there's some rocking horses. Fabulous.

Your tartan material is stunning. Made from ribbon you say. Gosh.
Firstly I would like to say I'm so pleased that Bleubeard is feeling much better, great news. Love the tartan on your desk and the three rocking horses are adorable. Hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving. Take care, Tracy Evans x x
It's such a relief that Bleubeard is on the mend. You must be so pleased. I hope your back is also better. You've been so busy and that tartan paper is quite some work. You should scan it for future projects after all that! It tones well with the little equestrian pals too.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and tell us about it next time.
I'll be looking for more of their pals whilst I'm in Germany next week!

So glad to hear Bluebeard is on the mend and love those three rocking horses thanks for sharing #127
Good news, lovely thing to read about Bleubeard as I start my grand tour. I love the idea of the ribbon making a fabric - only you - genius! Will look forward to seeing the doll - amazing to think isn't it that we've moved into the part of the year that involves 'last' and 'finals' of so many things, it went by so fast. I wonder what you'll be signing up for next year.
Have a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving!
You put that together yourself out of ribbon?! Wow! colour me impressed! :)
Thanks for sharing your desk. :)

That's an amazing piece of ribbon fabric. Christmas *groan* can't I just have a pause button or something - I'm so behind it's not funny!
So glad to read the news of Bleubeard :)

See I'm a day late getting to you so I can wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. How I wish we had your lovely holiday over here!!
So glad Bleubeard is feeling back to normal, it's horrible when they're a bit under the weather isn't it.
Love your two cute rocking horses.

Afternoon, Lovely exciting desk and great tartan love it! Trying to catch up and have a nose at everyone's work areas.....thanks for sharing. Big hugs JO xxx (33)
That fabric looks lush and what a relief that Bleubeard is better, I personally think it brings the whole house down to gloom when furbabies are unwell :-)
Glad Bleubeard is better. What lovely tartan, one of my favourites. Cannot wait to see the dress. See the horses have come to keep you company.
Happy thanksgiving. Hugs JO.xxx*24*
