WOYWW 213 no no no I'm sure its 212

 

Hi Peeps

Gosh where does the time go? It's that time again.... oh yes it is!
Time to peek at the work desks of the world .... so many inspirational people to visit.
I'm going to keep it short this week 1. because Julia says so (she's in charge of us all) and 2, because I'm tired and need to go to bed (this is written Tuesday night).
 So here's my desk;

 

 Tuesday is Grandma day (I look after my GD ) today we got the Play Doh out.... so I played with my 'special' play doh and made some buttons while Erin made Winnie the Pooh and friends figures and dropped bits all over the floor!
On the left is a bag from a bundle of babybel cheese ... to be used for something fab in a few weeks time. ( a little teasing here!).
 At first I thought there weren't any scissors (shock horror!) but no I was wrong they are hiding next to the strawberry ... you can just see the orange handles.. phew!

I baked them later and then stamped them with Archival Ink, later I will varnish them.
I don't know what I will use them on it was good just to play for a few minutes.

 Last week I discovered a blog Gallo Organico with quite a challenge attached to it .... summertime-photography-scavenger hunt .
 The idea is to  take photos from a list and then blog or share them with the other members of the challenge.
Here are a couple of pictures I took this week

No. 10 on the list is an outside bench.... rather an unusual one on the park where I live.

 

No.4 on the list .... an aeroplane. This is a half scale model of a spitfire, it is on a roundabout outside Southampton airport in Eastleigh where they tested the plane during the war.

 

Anyway that's all folks I'm off to bed very early for me.

If you leave me a comment I will visit you back later this evening after work... and dinner, well a girls gotta eat sometime! Please leave your Mr Linky no so I can find you quickly

see ya

summer scavenger hunt

Hi world
I have just discovered this site via Fiona staring at the sea
summertime-photography-scavenger.
The idea is to take photos from a list and post them over the summer.
 It promises to be very interesting so I am going to give it a go.
Here is a photo I took the other day in a garden centre with my GD she loves turtles.
He was such a show off.
This is number 11 on the list, they don't have to be taken in order .... just when you see the right picture.

WOYWW 211 2nd attempt to follow instructions.... failed again

Hi Peeps
Don't know what happened to the rest of the week but it seems to be Wednesday again..... time to show off your crafty space again, so Julia at stamping-ground  says anyway..... so here it is
This week it's the dining room.

I am really into my sewing at the moment, so this week I have decided to make something for myself (gasp!) but true to form I am going to change the pattern slightly.
My chosen top looks a bit short and at my advanced age I don't think I will be showing off my belly button. Here's hoping I have done it right... let you know next week.

Also this week I started another lillybo quilt lillybo quilts. , but in true fairy thoughts style I did it back to front ( a theme is forming here, me thinks!)

 

I made some bunting for the Olympics last year, so I thought I would take it apart and re- use it as the quilt border (Mmm!) it didn't occur to me until I was sewing it together that I would have to make the middle fit the edge..... rather than the other way around, Doh! Watch this space.

I had some wonderful ATC's from the 4th anniversary swap, here they are in all their glory
Aren't they brilliant? thank you all :)

 And because I am terrible lazy typist here are the backs so you can see who made them (actually the backs look pretty good too)

 

 Finally here is a picture for Kyla li'l pidge check out why!
 I noticed it at breakfast this morning, it is the dog toy (plastic newspaper) I use to encourage my Mutt to eat her dinner (long story).

Have a great week and I will catch up with you later after work, usual rules apply.
Please leave your linky number.
