Smile on Friday

Happy happy Friday 

I'm really smiling today as I'm on a play date with some lovely ladies from my documented life project. 

This is what a have just drawn it is the first paper face I have drawn/ painted. It was intended to be a lady but the others said its a man ..... Opinions. 

Linking upto Annie's smile on Friday

WOYWW 287 Finally .... a card

Hi Deskers
Regular visitors might be surprised at finally seeing a Christmas cards on my desk..... sorry I'm telling  porkies..... no cards have been made during this post..... sorry to disappoint it will be at least until next week before that happens...... nothing like leaving it to the last minute. What's this all about visit the lovely .... If busy julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/woyww-287.html?m=1 she has all the details. 
Anyway without further adieu here's my desk: 

 

There is a little Christmas on my desk..... centre stage......a tree in the making from flower pots which I saw on Pintrest.
To the left is a 'pile' and some clay buttons (you all know I love buttons) I made and painted at my local crockery.
At the back...... DLP journal as usual .... I managed to finish a page this week.... well time is running out to finish at the end of the year.
Also at the back are some scrabble tiles to add to a card  ... ( see I'm nearly in the zone) but there's no L.... boom boom!..... get it N O E L ...... a long  running joke at work.
The  minion card is still there........  awaiting inspiration.
Finally a tube of fabric paint which I am going to use on my latest DLP page..... more next week.... hopefully.

This is the latest page in my journal ..... I quite like it and pleased how it turned out....... a plan of my local park..... not completely accurate .... but not bad.
Finally a couple of weeks ago I posted about a training session I had to do at work........ a mixed media canvas in 45 minutes ..... here are the results ..... they did pretty well.

Our staff room looks so much more cheerful now too.
Thanks for visiting .... it really makes my day to know you popped by .... I will call back later after work..... if you leave your Mr linky number so I can find you.
Bye for now

WOYWW 286 and in the green corner.......

Hi Deskers
Well that was a quick week.....blink and its gone. please check in with Julia .. stamping-ground.. the hosted with the mostest and the lady who started this desk showing show.
anyway  my desk ..... there isn't much on it this week.... no really.... let's see shall we. ..... Warning .... photo heavy post..... but not a lot of chat :-)

 

Oh ok maybe not so empty..... what do we have....?
Peel offs (shock horror) these are from my crafty beginnings..... but I'm going to use them on some crockery painting ( cannot show yet)
At the back.... (and the front WIP)..... DLP as usual ....
The yellow blob is a set of Easter chicks.... I'm so current me! LOL
New glasses and the still undecorated case..
A new box of alphabet stamps.... sadly not the font on the front
Minions.... regular visitors will know I am a big fan.... these are labels from some JP's from Primark.... too good to throw away ... what shall I make with them?
Finally below is  the fairy grotto at the beginning of the  weekend,

 

 

 

It has been getting steadily worse for a while now.. I didn't want too..... but it had to be sorted 

 

After much huffing and puffing this was the state of play on Sunday night... Ready for action.

This is what I am actually working on today.... I had a request  from 3 year old GD Erin for a sparkly 'Frozen' scarf which she wanted to help me knit...... well you can imagine how that went on Tuesday morning can't you !!!!! (Erin even took the photo).

Please leave your Mr Linky number so I can find you.... I'm often on my phone during the day and its quite time consuming to look through several blogs for the right post.... ta
see you later

WOYWW 285 alternative space

Hi deskers 

Happy wednesday all....

Back for another desk feast all thanks to the lovely julia over at.     http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-285.html?m=1

This week I thought I would share another work space with you as my real desk is a bit boring......  Warning there is a lot of mess. 

This is taken at the end of my Sew Christmas workshop on Saturday .... They were a lovely group of ladies and they made some great decoration ......like this little chap. It was a great fun day. 

Oh .....ok so it doesn't count if I don't show my desk so here it is 

Maybe less boring than I thought here I am sorting out stamps for a  training  session at work ..... To make mixed media canvases with colleagues who aren't particularly crafty.....should be an interesting 50 minutes ( yes only 50 minutes) maybe I'll show and tell them next week

Eagle eyed regulars might notice the new glasses at the back. I finally gave up with the washi taped broken ones ... I  still haven't  finished decorating the box I keep them in yet though. 

Anyway ..... Happy snooping .....I might just pop by your way this evening ..... If you leave your Mr linky number that is. 

Janet
