WOYWW #860

On my desk easel is where I have got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!

Since that photo I added the next prompt - Add something that beeps - can you spot it?


At the front of my desk is  a number of pages which I have been making with serviettes on book pages - the next step is to make them into envelopes but I'm not that happy with the results.


Also on my desk is a junk journal page, part made, from an Art by Marlene workshop. I will share the finished page next week. This was part of a virtual retreat that really starts tomorrow - so I have a busy weekend ahead. Not sure how much I will be able to do as I also have Hydro and an Osteo appointment tomorrow. We have just taken Ollie home and now I 'm about to get ready for my book group Christmas dinner. This is at a college where the students run a restaurant.

I have been continuing the Christmas card challenge at Beccy's Place which is adding to my Christmas card stash but I have fallen behind the last couple of days with having Ollie. My last one was U - an Upright Diamond Fold - but I now have V and W to do...


I have just realised my Conjurer of Dreams post didn't post - Better sort it out!!



Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...

All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!

On my desk easel is where I had got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!
Since that photo I added the next prompt - asemic writing. I used a stencil with pink distress oxide onto the triangles I added yesterday.

 
In the front you can see parts of an advent calendar that I am decorating and two Santas that I am making with wooden pieces cut from a fork handle that broke.

Yesterday I got up early to join the UK Stampers network for a zoom craft and chat.
The theme was doyleys. This is what I made...

I added the blue card to Beccy's Holiday card Challenge - find out more if you scroll down!



Hope to visit you all this week. Think I only got around half last week...

All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!

Quite tidy!!

On my desk easel is where I have got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!

What have I been doing? A few cards for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...


A few more of those folds that I like so much at the moment! And a quick Christmas card.


The second two funfolds use images I cut from an old Daphne's Diary magazine - I was looking through this for collage and also found a teapot to make and some book marks:



I really like Daphne's Diary but it is not so easy to get here.

I have also been making junk journal ephemera for swaps. This was one made out of 4 envelopes based on this video.



Recently I covered a chest with designer paper and then sold it...


Finally I am just adding a picture from our front garden which is currently covered in bottle brush...


All for now...

Not much to see - I have been tidying up and throwing out things I don't need. How do I accumulate so many things that might be useful one day?

On my desk easel is the start of Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November.

Kevin and I have been putting Halloween away...


I have been making various items for Gecko Galz and Conjurer of Dreams - I will say more about these later in the month.



My favourite ATC folder at the moment is that little booklet that Angela mentioned some weeks ago...




And my current favourite card fold is this:

Well - there is hardly enough room to actually do anything on my desk!! I am in the process of doing a Halloweeny journal page though...

Not sure what I have to share - I have been continuing with 31 Days of Halloween. My featured post illustrates yesterday's share - that decoration!


We have had Ollie here to day so we have been adding to our Halloween decs:


And we helped Ollie make a headband:



And carved a pumpkin:



Happy Halloween on Friday!

At the front of my desk - right is the start of a Busted canvas; left is a Halloween thingy I am making.

On my desk easels you can see a recent journal page and two use up pages drying. I put out two much red when I was painting my toadstools 🍄 🍄 🍄!


This one used a Conjurer of Dreams image - from the Progressive Challenge on Facebook.

I haven't done much this week - I had a procedure last Thursday with an anaesthetic which really washed me out. I am only just beginning to come round - but had no energy or inclination to do much other than jigsaw...

The impossible jigsaw...


Yes it is finished!!

This is my next one but I haven't even opened the box yet - I am still admiring the above!!


I got this one from a charity shop so it was cheap but I imagine to start off with it was very expensive as it came from the Australian Parliament House.

I have just been to the post box and found lots of happy mail. 

These were from a friend with whom I share a monthly ATC swap.



Next I received a Diwali card. I am taking part in  Diwali card swap with the UK Stampers Network. So far I have received 3.


Next was this fabulous Halloween card - another UKSN swap - So far I have received 4 Halloween cards.



Next was an Australian swap  - a collaboration of 9 people's work. Mine is top left and the theme was spring flowers.


Finally I received this month's Visible Image swap.



What a lot of lovely post!!


All for now...
