Phew! It's been a hot one again. When I grumble about the heat I just remind myself/excuse myself and say "we are not used to it". I've not been outside for two days, it's too hot for me to sit in it so I have been getting on with some crafting - but sorry, cannot show you what I have been up to. I still have lots to do, but I also have a few cards to make, so they will have to come first. Much easier than the other things I am doing which require a bit more thought - and I am struggling now.
Tuesday I took a couple of photographs of my usually quite tidy desk - absolute chaos at the moment. And my thumb is hurting me so much - I think it is a bit of arthritis or just plain old age. I have got a thumb thingie to put on but up to now it is not doing a lot. It's so hot wearing it as well. Talking of wearing, yesterday I wore a nightdress all day long. It was the best thing ever. So if any of you are struggling and have a cotton nightdress I can recommend them for this hot weather. Tonight I am going to fill a hot water bottle with lukewarm water and take it to bed - a tip from the TV. I'll let you know how it goes.
On Monday I told a friend that I often run my wrists under cold water, it really cools you down, so if you don't know of that tip give it a try - I have done it for years. Anyway, you came here to see my desk so:
Two photos today - the top one shows my little dictionary as I needed to look up a word, my journal is behind it (I have three journals on the go at the moment - all different sizes), a wallhanging I once made that is too heavy to put up, my clock that has never been started despite wanting one years ago, stick on letters (never the ones I need) and a pile of background stamps plus a Non Sequitur stamps set (red rubber).
The next photo shows some bits of paper I might use, then my Aall & Create stencils, my large journal and some Distress Inks (brown shades). Behind is my ATC holder that I made with A&C washi tape. I think there are some ATC's inside that you haven't seen before - made last week when I was away. Hang on whilst I go and look.
Ah well, looks as if they need something else on them. But I did show you something this week. Why am I doing this`? I am joining in once more with Julia and her WOYWW group. Pop along here and find out all about it. See you next week all being well.
