woyww- poppies

Any sign of christmas is now under the tree or in the post.   The desk tidy so that I can start playing with watercolours.  My first poppy on the right and now all set up for the next one. I watched Michelle Brown in action on You Tube.  Loved it .... have signed up for the online course.  Realise now she is totally against the jam jar of water and it must be replaced with a bucket of water and larger sheets of paper.  Must remember to do that before I start the course.  Below a close up of the poppies.

Looking forward to learning some techniques.   I love to fiddle with watercolours but always make a mess.

 Finally a pic of kitty who continues to sleep no matter what is happening around her.  A real inspiration.

Christmas joy and cheer to all in woyww.

woyww - cards

The cards are made and now I plan to write them out and get them in the post before the event is over.  But, then a good book beckons me and all good intentions disappear!

Another doodle to pass the time while I wait for woyww to link up.

woyww - cards and doodles

An action shot of a card lying on my desk (sorry about the blur) hands are still not steady and its only 11.30 in the morning.  Decided to just get on with the card making in the hope I can get them all in the post by the end of this week.

Another card this time using a laser cut out.  Can't see the glimmer on the white paper which is a pity as it looks all shimmery.  I am sure you get the idea.  When I tire of making cards I really just doodle.

But now I think they look like poinsettia's, so I must still have Xmas on the brain.  Now I am off to be inspired by all the other wonderful desks on wednesday.

woyww - LO with bits

I am always collecting bits of paper which are just too good to throw out.  Only a crafter would understand.   I  store it all a box for that "special project" that needs something.  The box is in the top left corner and you can see it is full.  I even separate the scraps into like minded scraps, hence the zip lock back with extra special scraps.  At this stage I am just playing around with the bits and will eventually look for a photo to fit the LO.   Normally I would start with a photo and then work on the LO to fit the photo.  Today is different and I have no explanation apart from woyww!

woyww- a winner

The draw was supervised by DH who stood over me to ensure it was all above board.  As I cut out comments and DD picked a winner mumbling something about random generator.  But I do love the drama of a hand picked winner.

Congrats to Annette who commented, followed and will soon receive a Steampunk ATC.   Please send me an email with your contact details and I will pop it in the post. 

Not a lot happening at my desk .... So I am going to see what other woyww's have been doing this week. 

woyww - LO and pretty stuff

2 Pretty LO's with lots of flowers this week.  All because I did a workshop at the Penrith Craft Fair with the wonderful Nic Howard who hails from New Zealand.  She is a wonderful teacher who always adds so much detail and dimension to her LO's.  

One I did when I got home as I still had lots of paper and flowers left over from the kit.

Now for something a bit more grungy.

The finished steampunk ATC which I had been working on weeks ago.  The swap is finished and I have some extra's!  If you would like to go in a draw to win the ATC in a small book all you have to do is become a follower (if you aren't already) and leave a comment.  Next week I will randomly pick a winner.  

Join in with woyww and have a peek at what everyone else has been doing this week.

woyww- consumed by a kitchen

All art and craft fallen by the wayside as I am consumed by a kitchen renovation.  After months of discussion, consultation, redesign and plans I was all ready to start.  As I marvelled at how a designer could fit so much into my small kitchen it suddenly dawned on me he had measured it incorrectly.  Armed with my scrapbook ruler I measured it out and finally all agreed it was wrong.  New corrected design and family grateful I have great visual spatial abilities.  I may not be able to add numbers but I have "superior" abilities at working out how things fit together.  I can also pack a car boot and have room to spare!! Hopefully my desk will be back to normal next week.
