First of all, many thanks to everyone who left a message about my mum. She is out of hospital now and doing fine, it seems it was a very minor stroke but we will have to keep an eye on her and she has new meds to take probably for ever. She's a tough old bird I'll give her that - she didn't say anything for 24 hours because 'she didn't want to make a fuss'.
Anyhow it's Wednesday again....and I am just a little bit ashamed of the way I left my workdesk last night
Almost all this mess has been generated due to a commissioned card to celebrate a 100th birthday - how amazing is that - for a dear friend's grandma. Flowery was requested so I have fallen back on a favourite Rose stamp which I coloured in with cosmic shimmers (disappointing) then beefed up with some copics and promarkers - much better!! I also at the last minute changed tack on the colour scheme but think I've got it cracked with these maroon papers from craftwork cards that came free in a magazine. I have opted for an 8 x 8 easel as I think that makes quite a statement without being too enormous and will post it when it's finished.
On the other side of the room are a selection of Mother's Day Cards for work - I have no idea what anyone wants so have some ornate ones plus a few C & S ones. I have been practising my spiral flowers and am quite pleased with the results even though I wasn't actually aiming for roses, I was looking for something a bit more funky looking!! Practice makes perfect I guess. You can also see my new TH Tattered Floral die - I am delighted with how well it worked in my humble little cuttlebug so I may have to splurge on a couple more of these.
I'm a bit late in the day as I have been working till late, but if you want to join in with what is left of WOYWW then pop over to Julia's blog
Stamping Ground to have a nosy and maybe even join in.

Gosh, this has to be the busiest desk I have seen in a while. Love the card with the oval cut out and looking forward to seeing the 100th when it is finished.

Its ok to be a bit messy sometimes! I was digging through one of my boxes to find some letters and everything ended up everywhere... just happens when we are making art! Happy WOYWW. Rachel #163

Your desk looks very inviting actually! Some great stuff there and glad to hear your mum's getting better.
Made me laugh to see what's written on your bin!! My desk gets just like yours if I'm commissioned..can't stand the pressure and end up making about 4 to extend choice. Those ribbon flowers are just beautiful..
