WOYWW - Sorry it's been a while!

Well, I've finally managed to get my photos done on the day, whilst actually doing something crafty - I will be off to do the ironing later on though, so thought I'd better post this now!

The tangled mess of what looks like brown string is actually a belt Mum has kindly donated to me as it has some lovely beads on it, and she doesn't use it so thought I could recycle them!! I'll recycle the whole lot!!

I get asked what the Stork box is for so I thought I'd give you a little close-up of my mini-rubbish bin!!

As you can see I've been doing a bit of colouring (with the new Promarkers of course), and a bit of stencilling with the thin side of the Whispers brush markers (the butterfly on the bottom right) - I'd never thought of it til Mum showed me what she'd done after reading in the Creativity magazine about all things to do with stencils!

Hope you're all well, and that you will pop over to Julia's blog to see what everyone else has been up to!

WOYWW

Here's my 6th(?) week of WOYWW (or Thursday sometimes)!

Yes that is my oat granola breakfast (I took the piccy before work)! You may have spotted the new promarkers....another 10 arrived in the post today - hurrah!!

Afraid I probably won't get around to visitng much this week, but I hope your desks are fun!

WOYWW - on time for once!!

I have actually posted on a Wednesday for once (instead of Thursday or not at all)!!

As you can see there is a Forever Friends decoupage theme to my desk today - weddings to be precise. I have a card to do for next weekend, and decided to just layer the whole pack up at once (otherwise I find the pieces all get lost!)

The Vicks inhaler is for poor Mum who's had a cold for weeks and keeps getting all congested.

Pop over to Julia's to see what everyone else is up to!

WOYWW (on Thursday)

Well it seems that keeping to a Wednesday is proving difficult - I think partly because I now tend to be at my "voluntary" or "getting experience" job on a Wednesday, so I'm not crafting! Here's my desk today instead!

I'm just doing a card for my friend who's Hen party I'm going to for the weekend, although I seem to be so tired today it's taking ages and I may have to have a nap later!!

Pop over to Julia's to see what everyone else was up to yesterday!

WOYWW - very very late!

Ok, so I didn't get round to posting this yesterday (only took the pic), and unfortunately haven't visited any of the other lovely desks this week, as I've been getting some experience at my "foster practice" as it were. And had induction for my new part time job yesterday so all a bit hectic!!

As you can see, there's been a lot of printing, and a bit of colouring going on. That was my lunch (that I had at about 2pm in the end). Hopefully might get round to doing something with all these images soon!! Hope you've all visited Julia's blog already to see what everyone's up to!!

I'll try to be on time next week!!

WOYWW - My 2nd week!

As so many of the lovely WOYWW-ers said last week, I will be doing this every week!
I've cheated slightly, in that I have 2 desks on the go at the moment - the one in the craft room:

as you can see I've had a bit of a stamping spree - never done that before as I always get REALLY frustrated. I think StazOn ink has helped though, as I didn't have many smudges at all and was quite pleased! So there's a few Tilda's, Pickles, Onions & rabbits, as well as my new Whimsy Wings of Hope stamp that I won! I have been asked about the Pritt roller glue - we've had it for ages, but the non-perm roll just ran out, so I've had to put in a permanent roll til I can get a replacement. They're so expensive - if anyone knows a cheap place to get the refills please shout up!!

and the one in my bedroom:

As expected, I haven't actually had much time to do cardmaking since Thursday with my Aunty staying for a fab weekend, but have done a bit of beadwork (as I bought some more jewellery making kit at the NEC!!) I've been making some tassles from a pattern in a book she bought me for Christmas!

I will upload my first proper gift that I gave as a late birthday present to my Aunty soon!

Look forward to see all your desks too! Pop over to Julia's to see who else is showing off their crafty havens!

WOYWW!

Here's my first posting of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - not a whole lot today. Did some inserts for cards this morning that needed sending. Sealed up a homemade envelope with DST only to realise I hadn't signed the card - DOH!! So had to quickly make another envelope. Then tidied it up a bit (with my cup of Chai Latte)

Off to Hobbycrafts at the NEC tomorrow, then Aunty's coming to stay on Friday so not much crafting getting done til next week I think! Boohoo!!
