WOYWW 894

Hi fellow deskers, welcome back for another WOYWW. Head to Sarah's to share your desks and show what you've been doing. 

Not a lot, in my case - but I did finish last week's journal page

I added some subtle stenciling to the pages
you can see it a bit better on this half   some seed heads and some diamond type shapes in places





and added lots of Alison's flowers in matching colours.  


















Saturday was of course Kew day - and cool enough to wear jeans and a hoodie!!  

the echinacea in the Carbon Garden were stunning 

and some low angle shooting of the Henry near the Pagoda




Most of the rest of the weekend was taken up with sport - the World Cup of course, (so pleased Spain won, if England couldn't!) golf, F1 and there was probably some cricket in there too!

  1. I love all the colors of your pretty flowers on your pages. I love echinacea, but my wife hasn't been able to have it grow in DR. Happy WOYWW!

  3. I really like your journal pages and the stencilling may be subtle but it really ads another dimension to the design! That echinacea is glorious and the Henry looked good against the blue sky too….I’m secretly longing for a bit of rain this weekend though…

  7. Lovely pages Helen love the softness of the background and the shadows of the "stenciled" stems and of course all your lovely "happy summer flowers". Yay for jeans and a hoodie - if only, as still in flimsy dresses here but hubby is likewise as you. Adore your Echinacea photo so that will be the next item on my living line, already colour matched my threads - whoop whoop. Yes and even not as a football fan I too was pleased Spain won considering Argentina's behaviour in the semi's. Hugs Bj#7

  11. Happy weekend after WOYWW!
    Lovely page - you are better than me at having a light touch! And yes, well done Spain. Stupid orange cheeto man had to try to get in every photo - luckily he looks easy to crop out! Watch out if he ever visits Kew :D

  13. Me too, the Argentinians play so dirty all the time that despite making for a lively match, I don’t like how they win. Or lose actually, my word they really did chuck their Dollie’s out of the pram! Live the journal page, Alison’s flowers are almost ethereal, very liking the addition of the seed heads, lots of depth and a hint at realism is just the job! Aren’t those echinacea glorious. Mine are a bit sunburnt and sad, I need to re locate them for next year. Another job!

  14. Hi Helen.
    Thanks for the visit. I'm getting my Sunday rounds in. Love the flower pages and the Ecchinacea are so pretty. Here in MO, ours are mostlly more purple. I want to put some in my herb garden next year.
    Creative Blessings & Hugs! Kelly #15
