We are creeping nearer and nearer to that 700th edition of WOYWW. We may have shrunk a little in numbers but it is one of the best ways I know of making friends who really do care about one another. Why don't you join us and show us your desk - no need to be embarrassed if it is a mess, the messier the better.
My little table today shows what I have been up to. A workshop with Jo Rice and Lavinia stamps was enjoyed by me and others via the internet on Sunday. I was not 100% happy with my finished product and so I am in the throes of doing another one. It will be an MDF piece which will stand on a radiator shelf when completed. At the moment it is in my new Black Journal (which I have had for years and not used - this is now my first page).
This is my desk
and my counter behind me
This last photo shows how I work when I am doing a workshop. I have all the things I need (or think I need) set out on the counter behind me and a clear(ish) table to work on in front of me. Here you can see the MDF board, bottom left, that the card is going to be stuck on when completed. I just hope my next one is good enough to go on the board - I will show you another time.
It shows how much I enjoyed this workshop as I want to do it again but at my own pace. Not that Jo went too fast or anything but I can spend more time practising the little things that I want, like getting the blending right. I am fairly new to Lavinia type stamping and love to see what others can do and I want to do "everything" so with a teacher like Jo it is possible. I just cannot get enough of the Lavinia workshops at the moment and I watch them on You Tube whenever possible.
We were at the caravan last week and it was a complete wash out. Talk about rain - and one night the winds were a bit scary, especially as we are surrounded on two sides by woodland. So I got my calendar finished that was a class at Vicky Stampers with Jo Rice - but more of that another week, there's 12 pages. In the meantime here are a couple of photos from Sizergh Castle the time before when we were there - see it can be sunny.
