WOYWW 802

Another week has flown by and it will be Christmas before we know what happens.  Another four cards done in an on-line workshop with Jo Rice added to my growing pile.  At this rate I will be ready to get them out early enough.  Here are the latest four 

They were all done in various shades of brown - Versafine Clair Pinecone, Portobello and Sand Dune with Elements Sahara for shading.  At the moment, in my TV watching time I am trying to make lovely little bows.  Sometimes these old fingers freeze and make it impossible,

These need mounting on some card bases and then they can go in the box with the others.  In the meantime I have one or two things that need starting.  One is my art journal for tomorrow where the theme is 'autumnal colours' and the other is a Halloween card which I want to make for someone who I know celebrates it in a big way.  Then there is my swap card for an internet group I am on - not a clue what to do with this one. I also have my window sill Halloween Display to do.  I'd love to make something new for it but there isn't that much time.  Oh, and I have two birthday cards to get out this month.  Now have I any in the box suitable for those recipients?  Here's my table with the craft things on that I got out in readiness.

Left we have my box of Greek/Roman /Egyptian rubber stamps then some of my halloween stamps from the box behind and next to them is a set of stamps suitable for autumn.  In front right we have some inkpads ready for making a Halloween background.  Why do I always want to do the one thing that can actually wait?  It's the birthday cards and the journal page that need doing.  Maybe I should get those things out on the counter behind me. 

As I can't make my mind up here is a short video of the tumbler I did for Chas

Next week you will find which way I went with the various things in my head.  In the meantime why not join me over at Sarah's Craft Shed to see what others are doing - see you there in a short while.
