Julia says keep it short as we all have a lot of desks to get around .... so here it is
My desk :
It doesn't look much different to last week, mostly because I haven't done anything, except pile more stuff on top.
In the middle is a new book I have just brought by Heather Kingsley Heath on beading Albion Stitch . . . . very gorgeous stuff, I will show when I have done something from it.
The Michael Powell stamps are still there, here is a closer look as Julia couldn't make them out last week.
at the back in the envelope is the one and only crafty thing I made this week a card for for DD2's partner's nephew's birthday. I cheated, the meercat is a download from a magazine, but DD2 liked it.
I coloured him in, made the waistcoat and gave him glossy accent eyes (a bit scary really).
Even my AB desk has been neglected this week . . . . no time.
Handyman and I have been decorating our bedroom, how do you choose between the 350 different colours of cream emulsion. I bet Tim never has that problem
There, that was quite short.
If you are wandering what I'm going on about, where have you been?
Check it out here http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ and join us . . . if you dare.
Many thanks for all the lovely comments last week, you will be seeing more of the wedding Gecko!!!
I will look at yours if you look at mine, but you need to tell me, if you do comment please leave your Mr Linky no. as it speeds things up . . . a lot

I know there are a lot of colors to choose from but 350 are more than I would want to choose from. Hope you get back on track soon, especially with your AB (grin).
ReplyDeleteOOPS. Forgot to wish you a lovely WOYWW from # 9 this week!
ReplyDeleteLove your desk and those stamps! Good luck on the AB. My progress is pretty slow on that. Thanks for sharing and have fun WOYWWing!

ReplyDeleteGreat post, made me giggle! I've been decorating too.. yuck! much rather throw ink at a journal or tag or - anything but paint at a wall! Love those stamps, thanks for showing them in detail today. helen 39
ReplyDeleteYou've beaten me to it - we've got to decorate our bedroom too..but it's the thought of having to shift all our furniture, get new carpet etc that's putting us off at the moment. We must do it though cos it hasn't been painted for a few years *sigh*. We;ll feel better when it's done :)

Love your meerkat and those stamps! Not heard of them but am now off to do a google.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #10
Wonderful goodies on your desk and I must say the meerkat is smashing in his waistcoat. Goodluck with the redecorating. Sandra #63
ReplyDeleteStamps look interesting Janet, but they give lots of scope for colouring. My dog sometimes thinks she is a Meercat, stands on her back legs like that for ages - she is very nosey.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteCheers,

The meercat is too cool! I had to laugh that you haven't done much but pile more on. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. My desk has so much on it and I haven't done anything crafty all week? How does that happen? Are the cats secret crafters? And I'll bet you're right, Tim can pick just the right shade in a heartbeat. Darn him, anyway!
ReplyDeleteLovley stamps!

Oh I do love your desks! Those stamps look very nice - lots of detail and lots of coloring! That helps me relax and is something I can do in front of the t.v.
ReplyDeleteI really like the mercat card. I have a photo of one that I took in San Diego that is priceless. I should do another post real soon of some of the animals from the zoo. He's just adorable, sitting up with his paws/hands in his lap!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

The meercat card is so cute! And I don't think it is cheating to download the image, especially if you make him a waistcoast! Ha ha, a meercat in a waistcoat, that is funny!
ReplyDeleteThose stamps are amazing! I have never seen anything like them! Can't wait to see what you make with them!
xoxo Karen
