The dawn of Wednesday's musings and mooching has broken! If you're up for a mid-week flash of desks then do join in at
Julia's. My Simon Says DT goodies have just arrived. I am now awaiting inspiration
and the will to clean my craft mat sometime this year.
She does not look impressed with the grime and is definitely giving me
the look.
I scored a great Acey Deucy set on eBay for a bargain price! Can't resist a bit of artful quirkiness. Onto
some tageology
...
Frankie did us proud hosting a bird-cage swap and today is the official show and tell.THANKS FRANKIE! I blundered by revealing all last week. But the crafty gods granted me redemption. I jumped in for poorly
Anneliese who is hopefully now tucked up in her own bed. Get well soon! If Mr.Posty is also being nice I hope that
Alison has now received this fella. I did a modern take on vintage last week so I went old school with this one.
You never know what someone else will like or make for you but that's the fun part. Let's hope a bit of girlyness is good for everyone! I do quite like Mr. Birdy with a bit of resist technique.
By the way, I don't have this die at all.
I bought some great pre-cut ones off eBay for a pound which was enough to settle my curiosity...
My tag is coming from the States, so a little wait yet. Not as long as
Peggy did for my WOYWW gift. I sent it in May and it arrived last week!!! Let's just hope it enjoyed the journey. Just ending with a picture for any Steampunk lovers. It's my new Design piece for
Simon Says Stamp & Show so why not join in if it's your kind of thing! Now that's definitely a round up of all thinks inky and merry here. Thanks so much for being here, hope you had fun. Off to desk hop myself now!
Sarah.

Lovely stuff - enjoy playing with your new toys.
So many goodies to play with; I bet you have inky fingers as we speak! Thanks for sharing!
Ooh, love those stamps! Your tag is wonderful, it's owner will love it.
I have not started on my Steampunk thing for Simon Says Stamp yet and talking of them, I ordered a few things from them a month ago and am eagerly watching my post box too. Hopefully they will come soon as we have had a postal "go slow" and things are taking FOREVER to get through to us. Very frustrating! Enjoy your new stamps.
I love that steampunky canvas! And you've got some lovely stamps! Thanks for help re glue. I will try that.
Ooooo your swap buddy is lucky to receive this its gorgeous, love the bits from simon says for your dt piece, and those stamps from ebay are beautiful. Loved your less is more and steampunk pieces from earlier posts, also your first tag was really elegant. Kezzy x
Pretty tag! All the elements tie up for a very elegant outcome :) Loving the steampunk grid, groovy cogs (that sounds a little bit rude!!). Was researching steampunk clothing yesterday as my son wants me to make him some - scary *knees knocking* Have a good week xx
Love all your works - and your new stamps are great! Have fun with them!
Lovely, lovely stuff! I have absolutely noooo money at the moment but am nevertheless tempted to get back on ebay after a prolonged absence...your steampunk doodad is gorgeous! :D

Love your pieces this week Sarah and envy you the new stamps - how come I never find any EBay stuff like that?
I really must get myself involved in a swap thingy at some point. It's always splendid to make things for others and receive things too. There are so many splendid different ways of doing things it's good to be open minded and have your mind opened :)
Oh wow Sarah what for amazing things and projects on your desk. Unbelievable.
Happy WOYWW. Sandy #1
Wow, wow, wow!! This is truly stunning. I love the resist technique on the bird, its come out so well. Really lovely tag. By the way Sarah, if you want any more of those cuts, give me a shout on my contact button on my blog and I will gladly send you a load cut onto card stock. No point paying for them even if they are only £1. You may as well take advantage of a freebie. And if it means producing more stunning work like this it would be my pleasure to send you the cuts. Have a lovely crafty Wednesday. Lee xx
I love your birdcage tag but I also especially love the steam punk piece too. Great composition and I saw grids used like that at CHA and it's such a great idea. Always meant to have a go!
Love JoZarty x
Great post ... fantastic artwork ...and I think those stamps are so you ...and a bargain too.
Love all your artwork and the stamps are a great find. Can't wait to see what you create next.
Love the last piece and bird cage looks wonderful! I'm liking those stamps, too. :)
Wow Sarah you got your goodies from SSS quickly, I spy some art parts and I love the stamp you got along with your stamps from eBay. I need to see your storage for all these stamps LOL. Love love your tag, you are the queen of layers. Tracy xv
Gorgeous tag! And those eyes are fantastic - well done on those stamps! Di xx

I love your tag! I've just been staring at my Octopode tag thinking 'it needs something else, but what?' after seeing your tag I have come to the conclusion that mine needs more stuff on it. Which is more helpful than it sounds, so thank you! Have a happy Wednesday! Mel #51
I love the eyes on that first stamp!!! Your tag is just stunning - you've really done an amazing job, honestly! Thanks for the snoop and a wonderful post as always!
Beautiful projects!!! Those stamps are amazing! I'm officially jealous!
Love! Love! Love in every single way! Awesome work! PopArtMinis

Love the tag Sarah - you've got to get yourself that die - it cuts like a dream! Jean.xx
Love the tag! Looks like you have been very busy creating.
Happy WOYWW
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my mess!! This is my first WOYWW, and I'm having so much fun with it! And I don't feel quite as bad about my own desk!
Your birdcages are gorgeous!!

Love the vintage feel of your tag. I must look at ebay more often for stamping things. Never thought to look for ready made cuts of dies I don't already have. Hugs Mrs A.
Oh my, what a lovely tag! Perfectly vintage and WONDERFUL!!!
That tag is totally gorgeous! I'm not usually into steam punk but I really love that picture at the bottom - you should be really proud of that.
What a great tag! I love all the textures from the bits of ribbon to the rolled flowers! This is so eye catching! Thank you for joining us over at the Papercraft Star!
Just a quick visit this week due to illness but hope to do better next week ... thanks for sharing your desk and I hope you have a great week. Elizabeth x #121
There is sooo much lushiousness to look at here today!! I didn't remember about putting my tag on until I got to work! Ooops! Have put another posting on now!
The Scottish Dancing was fab - it has been ages since I was able to enjoy it so much becuase of my knee!
I think you should get your Monkey out of the suitcase. I rescued mine from a car boot sale!!
I like your tag a lot, it's beautiful!
wonderful! love your style. I just got into steampunk recently. Working on an album right now. I'll show it when it's all finished :) also hoping to join your challenge this month.
This combination of bits and pieces is just striking! The tag as a whole is marvelous. :-) Thank so much for sharing it with us at Papercraft Star!
Wow, absolutely beautiful and perfectly vintage! I love the birdcage! Thanks for playing along with us at SOS this week :)
LOVE your creativity Sarah! Gorgeous bird cage tag! I actually just purchased that die cut. So much to look at. Fabulous attention to details! Awesome Steampunk art! Love the boys with the hats! :)
Wow! I love the steampunk piece. It's something I haven't tried yet, but you make it look like so much fun. Happy belated WOYWW.
Oh my goodness!! So much vintage goodness!! Love the birdcage! Thank you for playing along with Shopping Our Stash!
I could respond about cats skewered on hot dremels, because I have worked four twelve hour shifts and my mind is starting to go strange, so i'll just say your desk is super fab, and see you next week,
dx
Love it! I just love this vintage look, all the little details are fab and you have used one of my favourite dies, the bird cage and bird are just fab. Thanks for joining us at Anything Goes Challenge.

Just wanted to pop by to visit your blog this week and say hello and see what you are up to! Didn't have the time to post(except about newest Doswell addition) or craft the past two weeks due to being in Virginia visiting with the son's family to see the newest granddaughter born. Definitely a fun time none the less. Hope you have a great week. Vickie aka okienurse
