So it is hidden underneath that white sheet of paper. I went with Julia's trick of standing on a chair to take the photo... it does make it a different viewpoint when seen from the ceiling!! You can see on the desk at the front a teeny weeny little book that I am playing with... I am trying to teach myself how to sew signatures properly... it would have perhaps been smartest to learn on something a little bigger but I love how it has turned out and now I know that a normal size book will be a piece of cake!!
Isn't it cute? All sewn and stitched by hand...
This is the front cover and as you can see it is teeny!!
I forgot to add the photo of the gorgeous Doone art doll that arrived in my mailbox last week... she is lovely and resides hanging from my windowsill.... so far the cats have ignored her which is brilliant!!
Don't forget to go over to Julia's for the linky list... and I promise to get more visiting done this week... straight after I shovel the driveway of the snow... it's a bit nippy out there at the moment at -11 degrees C.
Wow! I'm impressed with that tiny tiny book. You did GOOD!. I shy away from books that must be stitched. Did one, one was enough! And Doone's doll is absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'm simply thrilled to see your desk from this angle. So I see you "got high" to take that shot (grin).
Absolutely love your teeny weenie book ,it loks stunning,all sewn by hand!My you have patience but the result well worth it!
ReplyDeleteHappy woyww

Very cute little book!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous book and it does look very detailed. The art doll is fab, I wonder how long before the cats notice?
ReplyDeleteThe tiny book is gorgeous - it's something I've been meaning to learn about signatures etc.
ReplyDeletePoor you having to shovel snow at -11 degrees - that does not sound fun.
Also loving the art doll - simply gorgeous!
You must have the patience of a saint to hand stich that weeny book. Love it and fab details.

Hi there; great creative space this week with lots to see! Thanks for sharing! I've just finished making a book too, though my stitching is not perfect I'm really pleased with it! That art doll is lovely too

Wow, that book is seriously impressive, you must have the patience of Job to attempt that!! I know for a fact that my fat fingers would simply be too clumsy :D
ReplyDeleteSnow - at least someone's getting normal winter weather, it's been crazy mild here. We need some frost to kill of the germs!!
Hugs, LLJ #26 xx
That book is fab!! The high up view is great - and shows just how huge your cutting mat is!
ReplyDeleteHope the snow shovelling wasn't too bad - bet it warmed you up!
I love your tiny little book. What patience you must have.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

WOW what a tiny book! Congrats on stitching it cause even with my glasses I think I would have had problems. Doones doll is so cute. I am glad the cats aren't interested in it. My youngest cats would think it was her's to play with! Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #50

What a tiny book! I have no patience for that....at all! Lovely desk this week!
ReplyDeleteI could see what you are making because I am wearing my xrayglasses
ReplyDeleteLove your book... I HATE sewing them as it knots me up.... Donna will confirm this! Love her art doll BTW.
ReplyDeleteYour desk is ready to go! well done!
Love JoZarty x
I see what you mean about the Pink Panther!! Heh, he!
There you are in snow, we left England where it had been rainy and now we are in sunshine. Well we would be if it was not the wee small hours (jet lag!).
ReplyDeleteMust remember to do a shot from a chair, that is a great shot of your desk. Love your little book, I really enjoy sewing books but not "things" (ie dressmaking). Can't wait to see what was under the white paper.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #7
Gorgeous little book clever girl and brave to start out on something so small and fiddly but results are well worth it. Lucky you to get the art doll - she's a classy gal.

Wow that's an amazing little book, I'd be blind if I ever attempted something that small! Love the desk shot, I'd try it myself but I've got a spinny chair! Glad to hear someone finally got some snow and cold. It was 12C here last week, and sunny too!

Greetings from South Africa. What a good idea to stand on a chair for the picture! Must remember that for next time.

What a cutie of a little book.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you the snow or the temperatures - I'm stuggling dealing with temps of around 9C.

That little book is unbelievable! I couldn't get my fat little fingers to do something so delicate! Just love it. Can't wait to be able to see what's under the paper!!!
ReplyDeleteThe art doll is adorable!

ooh your little books look cool. A lovely spacious desk space too!
ReplyDeleteMaria x
That is such a tiny book!
ReplyDeleteI lurve mini books and boy that one is MINI! Are you doing a tutorial? Let me know if you do!
ReplyDeleteLovely doll from Doone!
Can you send the snow over please? Or just some cold winter weather would be good! Very oddly warm over here at the mo!!
ha , those cats are just waiting till you look the other way, ganache has catnip in her knickers....
ReplyDeleteI adore the teeny tiny book, if you are interested, I loaded up the destructions for cord bound books on my downloads tab on the web site...it's much quicker and easier than coptic stitching, if you have multiple books to do and you are on a deadline....

Love your little book! fab desk

A stitched book? THAT small? I take my hat off to you, and my glasses as you must have better eyesight than me. The doll is adorable. Have a great Wednesday Cindy @ #52
ReplyDeleteThat little book is very impressive! I love taking the picture from up on my chair, but my chair is a bit rickety, so I get scared I may fall...onto the desk...and break it! Your new doll is beautiful, I'm glad your cats are showing no interest in her!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Katie #10
I'm seeing how many I can get round this way.then when I have finished I'll come back again, that is if I can STOP reading all the posts first Happy WOYWW

What a fantastic little book - love it! Your doll is so adorable too. When I first saw the picture of your desk, before reading, I was thinking how I loved how you took the picture. Then I read of you standing on a chair as Julia did....great idea! Thanks for the visit today! Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of your desk ... when I stand on the chair for the photoshoot, I have to be sure my DH is not around, he gets nervous :) Love your teeny, weeny book - that stitching must be very tiny indeed. I suspect the cat's are just biding there time, waiting for the ideal opportunity to pounce :)) Have a great week. Elizabeth x #96
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting things on your desk. Those little books are really cute - so is Doone´s doll!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week!
Tuire #33
I love tiny books! That said, don't expect me to be making any. I'll just admire yours and the others from afar.
ReplyDeleteThe photo above the desk is very cool vantage point to take it all in at. I may have to try that some time.
Love those little books! Just so cute!
ReplyDeleteKatie (159)
I didn't realise you'd moved again this time to Canada. It seems such a long time since the crops in Fraserburgh. I love your little book, that must have been really fouterie to put together.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you, happy crafting,
Erika. x
What a lovely little book. Like the idea of standing on a chair to get a different look for the photo (might have to try that one) - thanks for the peep at your workspace(Hazel, WOYWW 67) x
ReplyDeleteIm late, sorry! Started at the bottom of the list and OMgee,it;s a long list this week!! Anyway, I have things to say:
ReplyDeleteI NEVER stand on a chair..I just hold the camera over the table with one hand and squash my boobs out of the frame with the other hand...get the picture!
Signature sewing...I too learned on a teeny books and was far far more smug about it than you are. And then did it on a big book and got hopelessly lost and knotted in the long lengths. Little books are ace!!
Donna's doll is fabulous gal,as for the cats, I'm guessing its a matter of time...and attention seeking!!
I can't believe you've sewn that little book AND sewn signatures too. Wow! The doll is fab and I want her..... LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
Sorry I'm late, but lovely to see a nice busy desk! that little book is amazing

I love your little book :)
ReplyDeleteGReat job with the signatures. It looks SO good!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if my comment came through but I wanted to make sure that you know I love your little book!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tiny book is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at your snow, my daughter is just dying for some here in the UK, but it's been so mild it looks unlikely this year. I will have to send her to you!!
