WOYWW 889

 Happy WOYWW fellow deskers, hope you are all keeping well.  Another week has flown by and we are re-grouping with Sarah 

I spent some time on Sunday stamping out flowers (Alison Bomber for Paperartsy) coneflowers, poppies and cosmos sets
and even longer colouring them with the new pencils, I have to say I am pleased with them, they give good coverage and layer quite nicely

they aren't water soluble so you can't fully blend but for £20 I think they're a bargain. 

I have started the laborious task of cutting them out, too.... 





Kew on Saturday was bright and sunny 



and lots of colour 










the blue tits flit in and out very fast for their food!



the weekend ahead is looking to be somewhat too hot, (never happy!) but  I will enjoy nevertheless.

thanks for looking, hope you all have a good week.

WOYWW 572 - happy birthday to us

We made it to another anniversary - who'd have thought when Julia started this weekly blog hop with a simple question - "What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday" that we'd still be meeting, sharing and enabling after 11 years - 572 weeks later!

We normally celebrate by swapping atcs but with the Covid 19 pandemic still rife, and causing havoc with daily life, Julia thought it best not to over-burden the postal services.  Instead she set a challenge - find and finish a project - a UFO or as some like to call them, an unfinished symphony.

Well I showed you a canvas I had a couple of Christmasses ago, that hadn't been touched.  I doubted that I would a) want to do it; b) start it or c) finish it....

Well ye (and me) of little faith...

I had some better photos saved on the computer but blogger won't add them!

That was Saturday afternoon - I used my Pitt Artist pens (indian ink)  which I love, and need some more colours!

Although I don't really enjoy colouring per se, I did have a couple of fun hours doing this, you were all right!











I was on a bit of a roll then and on Sunday had a play in my journal
for some reason blogger won't preview the photos that are stored in my google photos file but will actually add them - hopefully when I publish this you will be able to see them too!
I had hoped to add some more photos but can't persuade blogger to play  nicely so will leave it at that!

Happy WOYWW to us all and especial thanks  to Julia for keeping it going all this time, and to everyone who has taken part, shared desks (11 years on and I am STILL on the floor...)  and enabled* week by week...
*light bulb moment... I have enabling for you..
chickens!  I haven't used any of these yet - maybe by next week.
where was I...  thanks to the friendships, both real and virtual and the support and the encouragement

See you next week for the start of year 12!
