WOYWW 776

What a day it has been again.  Sunshine this morning meant I set off to clinic with just my hoodie  over my t-shirt and on the way back I went into Iceland with Chas only to hear thunderous rain, as we thought, beating down on the roof.  When we ventured outside it was hail.  So many days now we have had these hail storms and on Monday it turned to sleet as we were driving to the hospital.

Well, I got signed off at the hospital on Monday for the cutaneous horn I had removed back in December and I don't think it will be long before the clinic sign me off for the knee.  Last week there was only a tiny bit still open (over granulation) which was bleeding and today it was the same, a tiny bit bleeding, but I think it was in a different place.

Now, ages ago a lovely friend sent me some images for me to colour in.  It was fine for me at the time and now I have made some of the images into cards but I only have one to show you, do you remember me showing them to you - I had used coloured pencil crayons to colour them.  

You can see one of them on the left of my desk - a tea cup with two more images waiting to be finished and then I can make them into a set of three cards.

So this is my desk as it is at the moment.  My small guillotine, the cards, images, my coaster (thanks Jo) my favourite flower stamps with some new pockets in front as I am putting them all in pockets to keep them safe.  The rest is as it always is - ink pads mainly.

Here are two cards I made last week.  Remember the blue Bluebell looking one?  Well, I tried again with a poppy stamp.  The first one is the last one I did as it is a second generation image.


and here is the tea cup mentioned previously


I used gingham card behind the image to represent a tablecloth but now I am thinking it should be a 'posher' cloth than gingham for that classy cup.

I am hoping to get a bit more into my stamping and also do one or two other crafty things (with wool?) that I have on the back burner this next week.  I would love to get out more but as I am so slow on my feet at the moment I daren't risk it for fear of getting soaking wet if I am caught in one of the downpours we all seem to be having.

See all you WOYWW'ers next week hopefully, in the mean time, happy snooping.
