What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: My Sewing Machine, A Furoshiki and ATC Trades

After an afternoon of altering clothes (such as cutting long sleeves to make them short), my sewing machine is still at the center of my desk (it is usually stored on the far end).

And at the back, you can see a "furoshiki," a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, that I received from some recent visitors from Japan...

It is a square piece of cloth which can be used in many ways, from wrapping gifts to carrying groceries, the eco-friendly way.  Each year billions of plastic bags end up as garbage and so I always carry a reusable bag with me.  I haven't tried using the furoshiki but they say it can wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size...

Then, there are also some wonderful ATCs that I received in the mail from trades I made in ATCs for All...

There are two collages and a textile one which makes me think about trying to make a textile one while my sewing machine is out.  But then, I also have those three backgrounds (underneath) that are waiting to be painted on.  Oh well, there are always so many projects I want to do and just not enough time.

And if you want to take a peek at what going on in other desks or if you want to show us What's on YOUR Workdesk this Wednesday, hop on over to Julia's Stamping Ground.
