Welcome to Fairythoughts Grotto .... Grotty more like. . . .
Not much movement on my desk this week, where does the time go ?
Not really much different to last week........... we had DD1, SIL and the little man to stay over the weekend. Painting at the crockery but nothing at home until Tuesday.
In the interest of variety. . . . . . . . The long shot

A little progress has been made on the glasses box ... I added some tissue to the lid ... Wow !
The background is still there at the back.... I might try and use it this week in my DLP (2 1/2 weeks behind now ). so too are the craft stamper ... plus the latest issue I haven't read either.

Today I found time to do a quick make for a work colleague who has a 'big' birthday, she is quite new and we didn't realise until Monday so I had to get a wiggle on and make quite simple.
Just a small reference to her age . . . . . . she is a keen sewer and works in the haberdashery dept. . . . . where I work.
Anyway that's about it for me . . . I'm going to concentrate on watching the new Dave Gorman programme on DAVE (Tuesday eve) ...update! ... do try and watch the repeat it's very funny.
Don't forget to drop by Julia's place where you will find this weeks roll call. . . to visit lots more interesting desks.
Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment and I will try and visit you back if you leave your number, through the week .... if my spelling is a bit odd I am probably in the gym . . . . its not easy to type while on the stepper or bike . ha ha.

Pretty BD card. I love how you gave a nod to her interest and her birthday. Very creative! Creative Blessings! Kelly #67
ReplyDeleteI love the mannequin on the Birthday card, how did you make that? The colours are fab as well. I don't see you work in blues often enough!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is the perfect card for her, very appropriate--love the colors, and the texture, too.

Commenting whilst gymming...now that's multi tasking above and beyond!! I can't imagine how you've even found time to apply some tissue paper this week, after all, me and Jan took most of your free time! Thanks for your message, you're welcome, and I can't help...bet LLJ can though!
ReplyDeleteI always love looking at your desk, so much to see.....ooh, not seen the new Dave Gorman....off to check out catchup tv!

Love the colour of that ribbon you've threaded through the lace. The card doesn't look like a last minute make at all. I'm very late getting round this week!
