WOYWW 497

Well, a big change from yesterday on my desk.  Yesterday I had some of my work from the weekends workshops with Abs as I was continuing with one of my watercolour exercises.  The weekend was great - good accommodation in The Royal Station Hotel in Carnforth (Carnforth of Brief Encounter fame), and the two workshops with Abs were both good and we learned a lot of new techniques.

Here you can see the stamp I was painting with watercolours on Sunday but the Journal cover I made on Saturday is going on Instagram rather than on here.


I hadn't taken my Inktense pencils so when I got home they came into good use along with one of my tiny watercolour palette and the compact one I got from Mary.  I am trying to come to terms with water pens but must admit I still prefer to work with a pot of water and a brush.  On the left are some tags which we did on the final afternoon showing all the different techniques we had used.

Now my desk today!  What a mess it is.  I hope I have done enough Christmas cards as my craft room is out of action for at least a day.  The electrician is coming and will need the loft ladder down and he is going to put me a new socket in my craft room.  Hurrah!


So you see, no room to craft but as I am going out tonight I will be spending the biggest part of the day trying to find something to wear.  It might be in the bath!  My clothes are everywhere and now, two weeks down the line I have not a clue where what I would like to wear is.  Ah well, Christmas is around the corner and theres a lot to do by then.

Hope you all are a bit more ready for the big day than I am - let's go and see what is going on around the desks of the exclusive deskers.
