Welcome to Wednesday, the day we share our desks. Julia at the STAMPING GROUND has hosted this and you can play along, visiting others or sharing yours.
My 2 active working spots are both a mess. So many things going on with the holiday.
These are being sent off to my 3 little grand girls. While visiting this July, they had 1 someone gave them and wanted more in different colors, One of anything for 3 is a battle. Very simple, easy for them to wear and no worries of loss etc. Just ribbon with velcro. And Velcro in the stores is terrible expensive. Found this in the $1 store and it compares very well with the small amount I had here. I plan to make some with flowers or metal hearts centered and attached, but wanted to make sure these would fit.
Last week I posted the pretty papers I made from Beet juice, well this is the same left over beet juice, but it got old and discolored....so I used a fabric piece and paper to make some brown tones.
I made more tomato juice this morning and have to do some zucchini bread. We had 3 older friends pass this week and all will have family visiting from away. Thought I'd stop by with some goodies and extend our Sympathy.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy a fun week. I am sure my favorite season "FALL' has arrived. Crisp and Cool. Thanks for all the great comments last week too.

yes, it's my favourite season too, but arriving quite early this year, we've barely had a summer here! Sorry for your loss. Helen #1
Very pretty bands, I'm sure your girls will love them.
I'm not a lover of Autumn, love the harvest but hate to see the end of Summer.
Have a good week

I understand why you would welcome Fall, probably one snapshot season that doesn't give you extremes to cope with! I regret the passing of summer...but then, we haven't exactly had persistent heat and associated problems her in the UK!! I love the idea for the hair bands...simple but frankly, genius. And I know what you mean..what you do for one, you must do for all!!
Those bands are a fabulous idea; so easy to make the 3 you need and can coordinate with any outfit. I'm sure they'll love them. Happy WOYWW Sarah #18
I love the headbands! Your grand kids are gonna love them. As always it's nice to visit my friend!
I'm doing a whistle stop trip around my favourite bloggers friends between customers....first arrived 8.30 and I've already shortened 5 pair of trousers. Many more due to come today cos some idiot decided to offer 10% off her Memory bears this week.
I love the idea of Velcro with the ribbon....I may have a go for my little granddaughters.
Hugs,

Hi Sylvia,great idea the velcro & ribbon, so much easier to deal with. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 XxX
You have such an interesting craft space. I can't believe you use beet juice to die paper and fabric. Wow! I am sorry you lost friends but it is nice you got to take some goodies to their family for comfort. $30
My sympathies, it's so sad when old friends are passing away. I'm surprised the beet juice isn't more red! The ribbons are very cute, I'm sure they will love them. I get my velcro at the dollar store too! It's very useful for lots of things, especially the sticky-back velcro dots. Have a great week, thanks for sharing! Lindart #31
So Sorry to hear of your loss... Love your busy desk... love how the fabric has turned out with the older beet juice...Have a great week ahead....May #10
So sad to hear that you've lost not just one but three old friends. I'm sure your tomato juice and zucchini bread will be very welcome by the families. Those ribbon hair bands are lovely and very practical too. Have a good week. Elizabeth x #25
So to hear of your loss. I used to do lots of vegetable dyeing with wool but don't tend to do it any more. Great post Sylvia, happy woyww, Angels xXx
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I love Autumn too, it's my favourite season by far. It's definitely chillier in the mornings here now, but I love it when the leaves turn orange and brown. Thanks for sharing! Lyns #24
I am really late visiting desks this week - busy on Nanny duties!Yes I love Autumn too - cool and fresh with beautiful colours developing in the trees and hedgerows. x Jo
Sounds like you've been busy with all sorts of fun stuff. Thanks for sharing your projects with all of us.
