These Wednesdays come around awfully quickly at the moment. It seems not long ago we were rejoicing that Spring was with us, then that Summer had begun and now we are on the other side of this lovely warm season. I say that tongue in cheek as it has been raining steadily most of the afternoon and early evening. So glad we are not having temperatures like Arizona though (111 - 113 apparently). Phew!
Well, Saturday saw me teaching a class at our local Stamp Club. The tutor pulled out at the last minute, quite by chance I saw her comment under a message saying she would not be able to come. Panic! So as Chair this year I had to think on my feet and luckily I had my class for next month partially ready so was able to step in. More photos next week as I have not got around to taking them as yet, but here are two that I took along as finished samples. We were decorating these tiny 3" tins.
I can show you the birthday card I made for my friend as it is her birthday today "Happy Birthday Ann".
Now, having shown you my 'makes' I think it is about time I showed you my desk. The aftermath of my teaching session (ie nothing put away) but a picture of three of my latest stamps, done whilst stamping the ones I had bought from Lavinia's new collection. I just love these owls but I do wish they were a wee bit smaller.
Most things are self explanatory to most of you. The tin with thme clear top contains lots of little bits and pieces for the ladies to include on their work for next month. The punches have been lined up for ages - again for next month but the corner rounder was for this month so can be put away now.
That's it for this week, It is late Tuesday evening when I am typing this as we have been running late all day. Should have had new patio doors fitted yesterday morning so we were up, breakfasted, showered and things moved (mainly down to Chas), before 9 am which is when they should have called. By lunchtime we rang up to be told the fitter had rung in sick but nobody had told the woman to ring us. Was I cross!!! Unfortunately she had a strong Scottish accent and I found it difficult to understand her.
Anyway, finally tonight after waiting all day for someone to come it was just after 7 pm two guys arrived and put the new doors in. So I cannot see me getting up early in the morning and writing my blog. Thank goodness these two were conscientious and wanted to do a good job - they had started at 6 am. And one was celebrating his birthday! How I wish I had made a cake!
