Bit of an avalanche!!

I've had a bit of an avalanche of Craftrak cards land through my letter box this week (if you haven't heard of Craftrak, it is a card swapping website, the idea is to see how far your cards travel - see it here).


So here are the cards I've received this week (minus one which I found on the coffee table in the lounge, I'd forgotten to log it and so it's missing from the photos). Yes, they are on my new desk in my new craft corner in the conservatory, hurrah!! It took all of Thursday evening plus this morning to put the craft desk together (bloody flat pack) accompanied by a lot of huffing, puffing, swearing and sweating (bit hot in there this morning!) but at last it is ready :-) I made my first card at my super new desk this afternoon, one for a challenge so I will post that next.

I did manage to do some crafting in my new craft space last week before the desk arrived, on a table that is really meant for in the garden! Wasn't much good for stamping on, too wobbly.



Can't wait for my new desk to join in WOYWW this week :-) At last I don't have to keep tidying everything away :-)

WOYWW 77

Here we are again on a dark and cold Wednesday morning! Had to wrap up warm to pop into the conservatory earlier to take the photo! It is still ok at the moment for crafting with the heater on, in fact it gets quite cosy, but not sure what it is going to be like when the temperatures tumble further over the next few days. Well, it's all a bit of a tip this week really! I'm thinking of getting rid of the sofa and getting a table instead seeing this is what it tends to get used for nowadays. You can see more of my glittery christmas trees in the foreground, I have had such fun making those. The card on the desk is a quickie card I made last night for a bereaved colleague (made with a lovely Penny Black Stamp). Really need a good tidy up now, but think I will finish off the Christmas cards (it will be nice to make something other than Christmas cards again!) and then have a good blitz. Bit of a quick post today as have to dash off to work. Pop over to see Julia at the Stamp...

WOYWW - 103

Image
Morning fellow WOYWWers! Well I'm still struggling to balance work, new second home and card making, but I have managed to attend a couple of local classes recently and also managed to spend a couple of hours making cards on Sunday, hurrah! The results you can see on my desk. Feel like I've lost my mojo a bit though as because I haven't been at my desk for so long I can't remember where anything I need actually is, lol! A couple of photos of said house for you also now we have some furniture! The wood floor you can just about see in the photo of the living room is now sanded and is going to be varnished by my own (probably very sticky!) hands over the weekend! I'm also planning a bit of a revamp of the curtains in the same room although sewing really isn't my strong point. Will share the results if they aren't too bad ;-) So, if you have no idea what WOYWW is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out. PS APOLS TO ALL MY...

What's on your work desk Wednesday 61

Image
Wednedsday again and I haven't posted since last Wednesday, oh dear I'm slipping! Despite having two days off work Monday and Tuesday I still don't seem to have done all that much crafting. I have been concentrating mainly though on a mini book for my Dad for his 70th and have completed six pages of that so I suppose that counts as at least six cards! It's not quite finished yet but I promise to share it when it is. It's the first scrapbook type thing that I've ever made, so not as professional looking as some I have seen, but hopefully he will like it. My craft space is getting messier by the day, it really needs a tidy up I think! I've taken a picture of the conservatory from the outside as a few people last week weren't familiar with the English love of these constructions! Ours is not a posh UPVC one though which the majoirity are, it is basically a wooden shack with windows, ha ha! For those of you who were concerned about me overheating last ...
