woyww- stray bits

Missed last week due to coughs and colds.  Back at the desk and working on numerous stray bits which highlight how scatty my brain can be over a week.  Starting from the lower left side of my craft mat a pendant which will be a gift for a colleague.  Left over stamps used on a journal page. Hanging above my water jar is a colour wheel that I finally completed so that I might eventually get the whole colour wheel concept. Moulds of flowers and cogs waiting to be coloured.  A japanese inspired ATC on display. I used a rubber stamp that I won on Jozarty's blog candy eons ago (thank you Jo).  Finally the journal page waiting for some inspiration as it rests with left over wool from my knitting.  Finally the Kindle on recharge so that I can read into the night. 

 Best of all is what arrived from Lisa ...

Now for your Wednesday dose of inspiration and crafty pleasure go to  woyww.

  1. Love that wisteria on the card at the end of your posting (is it wisteria?). Lovely busy desk and a great description of what is on it.

  8. Lovely wisteria, and the simple one-word fits it perfectly. I'm on a reading binge to, to the point that Eastenders episodes are stacking up on the DVR. DS home from Uni and I blasted thru Game of Thrones and then bought the books. I'm on book4 already and gulping them down. Usually I hate watching something THEN reading the books, cause the actors replace any vision of the characters I may have had coming to the books first, but I just wanted to get on with the story!
    Happy WOYWW!

  10. Nice work from Lisa, crikey there's some talent on WOYWW! Like the stamps you were using, and the colours on your page. Colour wheel...I've got the basics.. but my memory is so rubbish that I don't think the rest will stick!

  12. Love the card you received, lots of goodies on your desk. I'm an old fashioned page turner myself, no electronics for reading with me.
    Have a great week.

  14. Gorgeous ATC, Sandra, and lots of lovely interesting and colourful things on your desk! Love your DIY colour wheel. I'm only now getting into the whole colour theory thing, and have managed pretty well throughout many, many years of creativity without knowing a thing about it but just going with my instincts lol! (Kaffe Fassett always used to boast about how he had no colour theory, and look at him - so it's not essential!!)

    I missed quite a few of the regulars last week, and sorry your absence was due to illness. Hope you're well on the mend now.

    Thanks for your visit, and your lovely comment. Glad you liked my projects, even if I was unable to upload a desk photo! (Power unit arrived this a.m. and it's lovely to have my big laptop back in action!)

    Happy WOYWW,

  15. Glad you're on the mend! I like the look of that pendant - is it dichroic glass?? I've got a few pieces of that - it's sparkly, you see and I am a born magpie !!

  19. What a beautiful ATC! That jogged my memory that I still have stray ATCs on my desk and some should be sent to you. I'll have to dig down in that pile again and get it in motion! I've had weeks like that where I kind of flutter from one thing to the next and you're right that your desk reflects it with the various things left on it. I hope you are feeling better now.

  25. Lots going on on your desk, Sandra! Thanks for the snoop! I especially liked the color wheel idea. I think I might do that, too, and can see where it might "stick" if I did something like that.

    Thanks for coming to visit me earlier and have a great week! Darnell #34

    Here's a link for where I got a typewriter ribbon from. Hope it's useful.
