WOYWW 159

Well, nothing exciting to show you this week - just my desk as it was on Sunday.  I have had a real bad back for the past few days and no way am I going to be crafting at the moment.  Can't get an appointment with the doctor I want to see until a week Friday and only then if I ring early this Friday and manage to grab one.  Might have to visit the osteopath instead.

Here is my desk - pretty tidy - but as we had workmen in it had to be sorted at the other end - we were having a loft ladder installed.  This end just got left - but it did have a dust sheet over it.



Well, second time of keying this in - it just showed up as solid white lines when I went to do a preview (at the end!!!) so it is fingers crossed and a constant checking paragraph by paragraph.  (so far so good)

Starting at the left there is my Grand Calibur, a couple of ATG guns and a 'sewing house' I have only painted.  This is going to be shabby chic (or so I hope) and is a gift for the lady at the sewing shop who has been so kind to me (sh! it's a secret she hasn't to know) and only has the sewing machine in as yet because it arrived today.

Then there is a box, waiting to be decorated and have more paint on it, with some bags in and at the front you can see the lovely bunting that Helen sent to me when I bagged one of her lovely atc's.  Next is the fab Art Bin box that I bought from Oyster Stamps to store my dies in.  This is a fabulous buy and I just might have to get another whilst they have them in stock.  (I keep checking each paragraph and when I click Preview I get an orange square with some cogs going round inside it and then just those solid white lines I mentioned above.  I hope it is going to publish just like it looks here and not like it shows in Preview.)


Next you can see my card from Shaz in Oz (Hi Shaz, madly waving to you from the UK), then below on the desk some card and some Spellbinders dies I had used.  Sorry it has been a boring week for you but I hope that next week I can be a bit brighter and show you some cards I have been making as I need to get some done for friends who have had birthdays over the past few days.

Now you pop along to see Julia, Queen of Desks (be they tidy or untidy) and have a real good nose around.  Me?  I'm off to the massage chair before trying to get some sleep and then hopefully I can do a bit of crafting later in the day.

A late arrival which brightens up my post today:  at lunchtime the postie came and brought me this delightful atc from Dolores in Slovenia.  Thank you so much, it is fabulous - I love the lettering - goes so well with the little owl and the wood background.  Another lovely atc to add to my collection!
