Welcome, it's the day we share our workspace. Ms Julia our hostess has the info HERE,If you have extra time you can visit other deskers from all over the world. It's been in process for a long time. Who knows what you will learn.
A new addition to my space, found it at an auction several years ago and when I cleaned out the garden shed ...I decided I could use the space. So I've been rearranging (it's a way of crafting) My DH power washed it and I won't paint anything with all the cubbies, so it's staying "rustic" It will be filled so yo won't see much of it anyway.
Then I did some Echo Dying of different types of papers from mother's funeral flowers. Mostly large leaves.

Oh I think that's a wonderful way of using the flowers from your mum's funeral Sylvia, so much better than them just fading away. That set of cubbies is brilliant, I would quite like something like that in the JanCave - and I agree with you about not painting it, way too much work when it's going ot be full of stash!

So pretty and a unique way to use the flowers/leaves...mother would like that!

Hope you guys are staying well! It's been so hot here and I've been doing what I have to do outdoors very early in the morning! Love your cubbie it will hold so much. I can't wait to see it loaded up! Have a great rest of the week!

Love the new/old shelving unit, Sylvia. The rustic look is fine! I am sure it will be very useful, and I hope you will share it with us once it's full of stuff. Your eco-dyeing is absolutely fabulous!! One day I might get around to doing some - the results are stunning! What a lovely idea to use some of your mum's funeral flowers too.
Sorry for the late visit. Time has run away with me again this week and I've got addicted to my latest cross stitch project and everything else has taken a bit of a back seat.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Beautiful papers you have created! thanks for sharing your process. I think it is wonderful that you are re-purposing that cubby. I find I am rearranging more then creating now days! Stay cool!
