Another week of isolation, another Wednesday, another new month, another week of WOYWW, the longest blog hop in blogland I think. More can be found out about it here.
Well that is two and a half weeks of self isolation for the two of us. Tempers almost got frayed on Monday when I came to bake. My temper that is. I opened a new tin of flour and it had those little bugs running around in it. Checked on the net, after it went in the bin, and it said it was safe to use as you killed them with cooking but the thought of it - oh no, it stayed in the bin! Would you have carried on and baked? Now I have no flour and none on the internet shopping (empty shelves I think) so no baking and I have run out of those delicious quaker oat biscuits and my tea loaf is near the end. Hurrah for crafting - soothed my soul when I went in the craft room.
I had three lots of purchasing drop through my door this last week. My brushes finally arrived from China so went straight into a bowl of soapy water and now they are dry and on my desk along with the pad of Stamperia paper I have bought to do an album with. I can't wait to get started but it will be in bits and bobs because of my back - not something I can do in my chair on my knee. Also got some Lavinia stamps. Just a bit for backgrounds in my next little fairy book - spent £40 though! It soon mounts up.
You can see the brushes and the paper on my desk.
My box of cottons is still there, too high for me to stretch to put it away - Chas will have to do it for me. You can see my journal page is started, going to have to get going on it today as it needs to be published tomorrow. Not really sure what to do as yet, having a bit of a problem with the quote. On my glass mat to the right are my templates from Tando and behin is the paper I sent for . One pound per sheet but oh, it is gorgeous. I just hope I have enough with the one pack. I think I will paint the covers myself rather than use this gorgeous paper. You might just get to see it in a few months time.
Well, that is it for this week. Just hope you are all safe and well. I read that someone I know had lost her mother but because she is in the 'compromised' list she cannot go to the funeral. Just imagine how hard that will be. My heart goes out to her.
If ever we had a reason to come on here and join in with Julia and her WOYWW its important at this time in our lives, it is one way of keeping check and knowing that our friends are safe and well. Stay in whenever you can, don't take any risks, let's beat the bug-ga together! Oh, and share your art with us on #Cheers if possible.
