Another week, another WOYWW, another meet up with blogging friends and another week of nosing around the desks. What a glorious band of happy bloggers we are that meet up every Wednesday to see what we have all been up to.
It's been a busy old week for me as I collected the tags done by the members of Victoria Stampers ready for me to put into a tag book for the family of my friend Mo who, as you all know, passed two months ago. I did intend binding them at the flat end but some did them portrait so I had to hastily rethink. Easier for me as I simply put them together with a ring through the hole at the top. I made a little gift bag for each member of the family they were going to and put the tag books in and then delivered them.
I will show you all the tags, or at least give you the link to view them next week, can't upload now as I am away and the internet is almost non existent.
So, nothing much to report here - a slightly different desk as I have taken over the table and I am going to have to clear my crafting up in a short while so that we can eat.
This is the dining room table and I have been making pages for the desk calendar started with Jo Rice last Saturday week. Fab tutor, I can see we will be trying to get her back again. I chose, as most people did, to do Lavinia fairies. You can see my pages bottom right and above are my Oxides, my brushes and stencils; to the left is a bit of my cover peeking out, my pencil case with a few bits and pieces in and then my pages to date. They want some sparkle on yet, need some sparkle pens. Above them you can see my black inkpad and my trusty towel for wiping me and anything dirty on, It does get washed. As I bought two calendars I have twenty four pages to make and then split them between the two so that colourful/non colourful is distributed about a bit. Perhaps next week you will see more of them.
I would love to be able to make cards like you see those clever crafters make on the Lavinia pages. Patience is not a strong point with me but I will keep trying once these are done. Maybe I will carry on working in this miniature style for a while afterwards trying different techniques.
Well, must go in case the internet goes off again. It's Tuesday afternoon and I need to ask someone to link this for me. See you next week when all systems will be working. Toodle Pip!
