WOYWW 838

 Happy WOYWW once more lovely deskers. Head to Sarah's for the link and all the details - come share your crafty spaces! 

This week seems me hit qualifying for state pension... not sure how the hell that happened!  Unlike Sarah however I haven't decided to stop working (although it's tempting sometimes!) but tomorrow, 66 it is. 

So, of course, I had to treat myself - luckily Dina brought out some new goodies last week! 

they turned up on Tuesday (well, would have been Saturday but the office is closed so RM couldn't deliver, and the parcel turned up at work Monday shortly after I left for home...)  

New colours of Scribble Sticks, new stamps and new clear gloss spray... can be used as gloss in the normal way, or a resist (have seen some great YT videos already) 

Can't wait to play!  

there wasn't a lot of crafting at the weekend, it was a bit hot (and my electric fan broke, the casing fell to pieces (I really shouldn't have stored it on a window sill in full sun - or the cold come to that!) 

but, layers of colour in the ledger journal.

the white stencilling is paint - turns out my Dina white paint (original bottle) had set solid and it was like spreading chocolate spread... I had been having trouble squeezing it out of the bottle, and thinking it was nearly empty, cut the bottle open, to find a lump of paint! I found a little container to transfer it to as I don't intend to throw it away! 

oops!  

I had a very hot and short visit to Kew on Saturday -  gave up about 11.30, it was too hot to walk around any more.  

 

Thanks for looking,  I'll pop round soon to check out your creativity!

 Hello again lovely deskers. Welcome back for another WOYWW . Come join in at   Sarah's  

I hope you all had a great week... 

I made a couple of birthday cards 

the background was made months ago, I have no idea what the sprays are - probably Tim Holtz distress

this was another piece, already had the texture paste stencilled on... just added some of the solid Dina stamps

then I started another journal page...

stencils are all Seth Apter for Stencil Girl... 

Saturday was of course, Kew   the wildflower bed is beautiful 

I think the Saturday coming will be trying to avoid the heat..

Thanks for dropping by, I'll be round to see what you've been up to.

 Happy Wednesday - workdesk sharing again  - come join in at Sarah's 

I promised you crafting 

and did do some -  

even if it was only finishing off a journal page from a couple of weeks ago!

I added some more layers of stencilling and stamping and coloured the collage tissue faces.

I' m still tired (never sleep well) and work is mad- busy but hey ho.  Thanks for your concern, it's nothing to worry about!

It was a solo visit to Kew on Saturday as my Kew buddy Kim decided the awful forecast was enough to deter her until Sunday. In the end, it didn't rain on Saturday 

these purple poppies are stunning

and who doesn't love an ox eye daisy

I might be a bit late visiting this week, what with work being so busy  and it's the annual golf day Monica has started organising (I'm not playing obviously, but those of us left in the office might be busier than usual! )

Thanks for dropping by, happy WOYWW and see you soon!

 Morning deskers.  happy June!    It's time for another WOYWW meet up at Sarah's 

I don't have any crafting to share this week - of my own -   Sunday is normally the day I do any crafting but I was too tired 

I do have more anniversary atcs though,  the one I forgot to photograph last week from Julia and my PIF partner, Cindy

thanks ladies.

Saturday turned out quite warm at Kew and the colours were fabulous

on the poppies, 

and on Goldie, the golden pheasant who we saw for the first time in a while 

although, truth be told he was looking a little less vibrant than normal - it's probably a seasonal thing!

the weekend coming is forecast wet so will be different again!

till next time, Happy WOYWW  and hopefully there'll be crafting to show!
