WOYWW - Siouxsie on my Kitchen Table and Christmas Cards on my washing machine!

Good Morning and welcome to Magpieheaven! Thank you to my newest followers for joining me on my crafting odyssey. I do hope you'll be able to pop in often. What's on your workbench today? Is it Christmassy? Or are you so well organized that you can sit back and compose a list of New Year's Resolutions all ready for January 1st? If you wonder why I'm about to disclose the extraordinary apparition on my table and the little festive collection on my washing machine just pop over to Julia's amazing Stamping Ground and find out all about WOYWW! I'm sure you know all about this brilliant blog-hop that forges friendships and encourages snooping - oops, sorry - INTEREST in the work of others, but in case you don't: do look it up and join in when you can! And now, without further ado, here is a glimpse of my unfinished kitchen - no closer to completion than it was last month, but with my daughter's friend, Kat elegantly posed across my kitchen table - or is it really Siouxsie Sioux? Last week some 'deskers' asked to see Matilda's Siouxsie shoot that she decided should take place in our Work-In-Progress kitchen, one or two actually professed to having been fans back in the day! Well, how convincing is she? I think she's a 'dead ringer' for the 'seventies' star; but what do you think? By the way Kat's wearing a wig and the dress was from a Retro shop, the jacket from the college wardrobe. She doesn't normally look like this or sprawl across our table! And Matilda hadn't even heard of SS until she was given the brief to create a fashion shoot inspired by her 'look'! Imagine - she had to do historical research into the days of my youth! Eek!

This is a photo in its raw state. The final project has been refined and processed into a double-page fashion spread meant to 'showcase' the jacket. Below is my washing machine with my recent tags for the Funkie Junkie Challenge and another card. Progress is slow, but I think I'm getting there - I'm keeping calm, anyway.

Thank you so much to my followers, old and new and my 'desker' friends. It's so lovely to have you drop by and although I have to scoot off now - no I haven't bought all my Christmas gifts yet! I will try to get round to visiting as many of you as I can.
