WOYWW162 a different view

Hi WOYWW ers

 Well last week was very difficult here, my MIL was very poorly and was staying with us. 
 My Mum had a fall too and smashed all her face in, we had a 2 for I morning at A and E and  joked that they had been fighting, sense of humour is very important at time like that.
I  am glad to say they are both recovering well and MIL has gone home..

Sorry If I didnt get back to visit it you last week I should have more time this week.
Keeping it short as requested.
Do pop over to see head teacher Julia Dunnit at stamping-ground.

Anyway my desk this week is different ot the usual view..... I am still making my D2's wedding tiara.  This is my lap tray  taken last night about 11.00 as I am writing this.

You can see the wired elements I am making using Swarovski crystals and some coral coloured stone beads,  not sure what they are I think I got them at a car boot. I still have to get the pearls and make it all up... when I have drawn the design, although I will probably make it up as I go along.

There is only 1 pair of scissors, but do wire cutters count?
In case you are interested this is what my usual desk looks like ... messy and abandoned
Craft stamper.... still waiting to be read


Amazingly I am still receiving ATC from the 3 year anniversary. This one is from Patricia in the Philappines, the background colouring is lovely. thanks




Anyway I'll be seeing you asap, probably after work this evening.
I have tried blogging at lunch time but it takes sooo long and the comments do not always work.
happy WOYWW please leave a comment and Mr Linky no so I can find you quickly

  10. Ageing parents are a worry. Falls are very difficult for older people.Hope both mothers are well on their way to recovering.

  11. Glad to hear that both mothers are improving..it is a tough time for you as well as them. So I'm glad you've given yourself some TLC. Now that I'm dabbling in beading, I'm quite interested in seeing how you make that tiara. You'll have to publish your step by step guide :) I just love little boxes of beady goodness...mmmmm, sparkle!!
    Hugs, LLJ #57 xx

  12. Glad you MIL is recovering, a fall is so frightening,. My MIL did the same a while ago, turned and moved at the same time and went headlong, giving herself two lovely black eyes.
    Your tiara will be beautiful, can't wait to see the finished article.

  14. The tiara looks amazing and your desk, despite all that's on it, looks actually well organised from the point of view that all the boxes at the back look so practical!

  20. Hi there, so sorry to hear about you mum and MIL - but good to see they are on the mend now.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the completed tiara - the colours look lovely.

    I've got to admire your willpower and ability to resist reading the Craft Stamper the day you got it ... I've been through mine several times since it arrived :))

    Happy WOYWW to you, Elizabeth x #23

  22. Beautiful ATC that you received. Not surprising your desk is like that with the work on the wedding tiara in progress. So sorry to hear about the two mums - hope they are both feeling better now. Thanks for a peep at your workspace. Hope you have a good week - Hazel, WOYWW #124 x

  23. So sorry that you had such a difficult time last week. And glad they are both feeling better!
    Sounds like it will be a very pretty tiara. :)

  25. I'll bet it is a lot of work to piece a tiara together. It'll be beautiful once done I'm sure of it. Poor abandoned desk... you won't mind if I pop in and nick your small step stool off your desk will you? I need one like that for my old cat. He can barely do the jump up on the couch these days. Great ATC. I just realized this morning that I have one I never sent, so the swap drags on!

  26. Love the idea of coral added in with the pearls and crystals. It'll look fab.
