WOYWW 719

Well, at last I have the video done.  The calendar one - although my voice is very croaky, not a clue what has happened but I have got a real croak these days.  Do you think a frog has taken up residence?  Be warned it takes 9 minutes to watch, if you want to see it all grab a cuppa first.  I thought it was a bit much to upload it to here which is why I am just providing the link.  If you do call please leave me a 'thumbs up' and a comment if you have time.

Thanks to those of you who knew it was my birthday last Friday and sent good wishes to me. Sadly I did not have a lovely day.  It started off well with a 9 am Facetime with my little sister in Oz but part way through our conversation a flag dropped down and I caught a glimpse of the message and had to cut the call short.

One of my oldest (like known one another over 50 years), truest, most loyal friends had passed that morning.  Her eldest son who has always called me his second mum, had tried to ring me but I was engaged with my sister on the internet and so he sent me a message.  We had only spoken on the Tuesday and we were going to call to see her on Thursday on our way back from tea with some friends.  It was a dreadful night and as we got to hers it was quite honestly a blizzard.  I decided we had better go home not knowing what was in front of us and living on a hill.  Imagine how I feel now.  I am going to miss her ringing me each week and there is a big hole inside me right now.

My WOYWW desk is completely empty, not been in the mood for crafting at all so apologies for that.  Just enjoy the video which I did yesterday morning if it is not too long for you.  Sorry if I missed commenting on anyone last week, will do my best this time.  I'll just show you the front cover this morning as a still.  Take care everyone.

WOYWW 717

 Morning, it's another Wednesday and time for WOYWW once more.  And I have just remembered I need to get my finger out and start making some ATC's for our annual swap.  Happy St David's Day to you all, especially our Welsh friends.

Nothing special has happened this week.  Not been anywhere or done anything of note, been busy trying to make those little pictures for my calendar- just the cover and two more months and then it's finished.  Funnily enough, Tuesday morning the two months outstanding were the two that have gone, but I've almost done February now so that means I have still got January to think about.  Just need some little hearts on and that month is complete.

Here is my desk this morning

The calendar shows the unfinished February page and all the messing on my desk is to do with my decorating it - stamps, inks, post it notes, stencil etc.  One month I got stuck with was April, I thought of showers, spring flowers and in the end I thought of Spring Cleaning.  Here the fairies have hung their washing out to dry and look who has come to see it all blowing in the breeze.

Now to plan January and the cover

I think I have seen a picture that I fancy for the cover but I am going down to Ruthin to the shop at weekend with some friends so it might change, depending on what I buy.  I need to put my own twist on it anyway and then when it is all finished I might do a video of the whole thing.  Pity I didn't do one of my other calendar before I let it go to a new home.

Might have to postpone that thought and get on with the ATC's though.  Need to check how many I normally do and when they are due to go out.

Not been to see my friend today, kept ringing but there was no reply so I don't know what is happening there, hopefully I will soon.  Rightio, that is it for this week, fairly short for me so Toodle Pip!  Hope all is well with you.
