WOYWW 201

Hi Peeps
happy wednesday everyone, what are you up to today?
If the weather  is rubbish (still) you can always hop around the world looking at lovely creativity on artists workdesk..... find out how  here  Julia is in charge so be nice and play along
Here is my desk this week... not much happening, I have been catching up with my spending journal....? what you ask. when I buy stash I like to log it for future reference. I went to the stitches and hobbycraft show at the weekend.. well a girls gotta buy a few things hasn't she?


Some dies, a ink pad, a lovely tree stamp, some fabric and an interesting book;


 
 
On the paper is the pattern for a box made with  pelmet vylene type stuff, we wanted to make it at the show but the class was full, the lady on the stall was kind enough to trace the pattern so we can make it at home .... so look out for that in future post. Flower pounding? well look out for that too. Yes I am a tease!
Talking of teasing, here are some more pictures of my WOYWW 4 ATC design journey



I wanted a stamp for WOYWW so I made one with my kit. I haven't had too much success with making these.



But luckily this one turned out ok 


More next week
 
If you take the time to visit ...why not leave a comment... I will visit you back.
Please leave your Mr Linky no. so I can find you. Have a great wednesday
janet
P.S I forgot to show you the fab fabric i got at the show here it is
with my hand to show how big the cars are !

    Happy Wednesday, I hope you are having, or going to have, or have already had a great day (dependent on where exactly in the world you are!) Great desk, fun to see you've made your own stamps too.

    I like the idea of the spending journal - not because I would want to know how much I actually spend but it's useful to know where stuff was purchased from. I shall be checking back on your blog for flower pounding - sounds intriguing!
    Thanks so much for your visit to my blog - sorry I'm late replying - Have a great week!

    I work in Corel Draw and draw the size of the sachet on my screen so I know what area I am working in before I go to print my negative. Also I have found that with detailed stamps I give it the count of 3 on the back when exposing the sachet so that it all stays in place before I do the 2min exposure on the front. I have not found a photo of me that works as a stamp yet, I have tried that too! I must fiddle around with that a bit more. Yes the sachets are VERY pricy, but so nice to make just what you need! #22

    PS. my ink was not dark enough so I print two negatives and overlay them so they are really black and don't let light through.

    Hi Janet,

    You asked me about the snow and when does it stop. We've had snow through May. As far as gardening the rule around here is don't plant anything before Mother's Day. Sometimes that's just so long to wait!

    I live in a small town that's 7,000 feet up! Most people associate New Mexico with desert - that's mostly the southern part of the state.

    Hugs,
    Kay

    Awesome desk and I love then ledger for your crafty purchases. I need to do something like that so I will know what I have and what I dont! Sorry I have been absent the past couple weeks but life has taken its toll and sometimes you just have to give in to it and go with the flow! Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #58

    How funny! was JUST thinking of "flower pounding" the other day - it's been YEARS since I've seen that referenced. And the stamp did turn out good - I've had mixed success with the stamp maker kit myself, but good success with punching sticky backed fun foam letters (with a QuicKutz or Nestie die) backwards and sticking them on a bit of acetate to make a stamp. and LURVE that fabric!

    Happy (late) WOYWW

    G'day Janet
    I've resigned myself to the fact that I shall ever be running late to get to others blogs due to my work but here I am. OMG I wish I had a craft show to go to NOW LOL. I too have a stamp making machine and yes I have wasted some sachets too with crap stamps that I have made...must pull it out of the cobwebs soon LOL

    Hi Janet, sorry it's taken me so long to return your visit, don't know where time goes these days.
    Love your tree stamp, have definitely seen that one before, but can't remember who makes it. Still, I'm not buying anything else until Mr Mojo is back from his hols, unlike you with another good spend under your belt - enjoy.

    Goodness...I like to get my parcels safely stashed in my room, looking like they have been there for eons! No spending journal for me...the other half might find it! teehee

    I am creating a book of my stamps though,...does that count?

    Hi Janet, I'm really impressed that you keep a spending journal, impressed and amazed! Do you keep it under lock and key, top secret, for your eyes only ... I most certainly would have to. On second thoughts, I don't keep one for one very good reason ... I really don't want to know how much I spend on my crafty obsession :)

    That fabric is amazing - just the sort of fabric little boys drool over.

    If you pop over to my blog, you will learn something of interest to you :))

    Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Elizabeth x #40
