The cards won't win any prizes but they all used up stuff that's been about for yonks so a win as far as I am concerned. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">The pile on the right is what I picked up for a just a few pounds - this is me being restrained. Everyone was intrigued by the two clarity stamps which I have discovered are called 'backdrops'. Sarah Brennan, when I googled to find out how to use them your name came up so I shall expect some guidance!! I'm guessing they are to make splodgy bgs and take prints bit like a gelli plate. I'm not sure about the 3 houses either but do like a challenge. Tomorrow I will be back on Christmas as I have rather let my schedule slide being away for 3 weeks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Apologies - there are Lionel photos to come - you can always scroll by. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Indulge me lol.</span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGtQWiKfy-gzRv_neDbRmjutJ7v01_ryIIHQnrXNX3sT00B6BZ0ZbxtDN4dB1wvteGXYSumCezXSPLmbVSEpbsINBJg9i4Q1wG6e25h-1xoR-qzc1wKEfu0SFfm5AM-4sKSyvVVfs60KeU0J3EOG-1q126sZ21QuE-RPxUipQzKbx2ncodUwACzphoFVzT/s1080/771f.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGtQWiKfy-gzRv_neDbRmjutJ7v01_ryIIHQnrXNX3sT00B6BZ0ZbxtDN4dB1wvteGXYSumCezXSPLmbVSEpbsINBJg9i4Q1wG6e25h-1xoR-qzc1wKEfu0SFfm5AM-4sKSyvVVfs60KeU0J3EOG-1q126sZ21QuE-RPxUipQzKbx2ncodUwACzphoFVzT/w226-h301/771f.jpg" width="226" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Guess who added the party hats?</td></tr></tbody></table><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Lionel was 1 on Saturday and my daughter threw an amazing party.

He doesn't look smiley in all the photos but he was a happy bunny all day, not a single grump or grizzle. It was also a great day for getting all the families together. </span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqJNepc_MDrEg0vVtQKlgSAh8EsjReFVLEF3RJna6BOQUV7yYv1QQacAZOBqoxr_6BYpHGIL_-GElySuJ7imk-yWjy7KHR3IGoL2MCThRvSgrYxwXaF0JSeGcbTKr_dLeeqY815tvOqKwKLqAEmEgiStQ1OuXBQvw-5q_NqJCeu-puCC7hzZT8oNRa4XaH/s1440/771.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

Helen will be rolling her eyes. I went to my new craft club on Tuesday afternoon and forgot to take my project folder. Duh, kind of essential. But it didn't matter because the lady who runs it brought out three huge bags of craft stuff and said help yourself for a donation. Oh my I could not stop helping myself!! The stuff on the desk is part of it - I am taking that to my craft club on Friday to see if they want anything as she needs to get rid of it. So many stamps!! The usual thing, an elderly lady who can no longer craft but forgot to stop buying (I do realise I could be talking about myself here).</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">Not done much crafting this week as I have been pretty busy with entertaining, the theatre, an exhibition and of course babysitting little Lionel. It's not letting up either as I have hubby's birthday Thursday, family over at the w/e, my own craft club on Friday, a pub night and then sometime on Monday I have to pack before leaving at silly o'clock to go on holiday. </span></span></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHNW1e2Lc-DL-h5EFVEP9pZRTTn7ULbq4Rd9JGapGagCPaUX1W-1T3xiQIvUrH0Qcd59XRTr-cztUPe_GJsYiOQcBuO5YcExJaQixgz9DCkXVJ2Lmz8ttEt59i1XZcPjKgCEpG6RtU4SCEyeTHnQx7rnGFjr178htlhDSSujmM_nd0CjTk1b_5RAjphjz/s1080/763d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1059" data-original-width="1080" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHNW1e2Lc-DL-h5EFVEP9pZRTTn7ULbq4Rd9JGapGagCPaUX1W-1T3xiQIvUrH0Qcd59XRTr-cztUPe_GJsYiOQcBuO5YcExJaQixgz9DCkXVJ2Lmz8ttEt59i1XZcPjKgCEpG6RtU4SCEyeTHnQx7rnGFjr178htlhDSSujmM_nd0CjTk1b_5RAjphjz/s320/763d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><span><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">I am trying to finish this today for a swap - not entirely sure where it's going, I feel I'm mixing my metaphors a bit never mind my media.

Bright but not a lot of sun out so think it will be a chilly one. Feel for those of you further North - guess it's worse for you!! Still I have my thermal vest on and my FUR LINED LEGGINGS (why didn't I buy 2 pairs?) so I am nice and cozy in my craft room. Do have to go out later - we are taking Lionel to the dentist as he chipped his front tooth yesterday - he only has 3 and a half and he's already damaged one. My daughter is not happy as she has a bit of thing with dentists - bad experiences when younger, ingrown teeth, endless orthodontistry to rectify. Asked recently about her own teeth because they have moved - been told that the orthodontistry she had when young has essentially knackered her teeth because it's weakened the roots. Aaargh! I swear nobody ever said that was a risk. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Anyway, I digress, the desk. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38F6Kh8WScoSRF1yEV6cS_HIUWYeRJFm93j1o7eFgobi2Sn8pJETLZ28IbdBW6gaQtXGo6ie4Ytnt1AqKtHkbRKOsuojx1eIUzGVhosH_GdOiRSLVDxH8OnGtQy0vSjZC4VfWFGmPzn8oQOdT3yJjfjZSuAZSIdGwT6AK-ZIaGs6zTLC5OtdFPH5_N-Cw/s1080/763c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38F6Kh8WScoSRF1yEV6cS_HIUWYeRJFm93j1o7eFgobi2Sn8pJETLZ28IbdBW6gaQtXGo6ie4Ytnt1AqKtHkbRKOsuojx1eIUzGVhosH_GdOiRSLVDxH8OnGtQy0vSjZC4VfWFGmPzn8oQOdT3yJjfjZSuAZSIdGwT6AK-ZIaGs6zTLC5OtdFPH5_N-Cw/w640-h480/763c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><p>Nothing to see here really, I have found a little local craft group on Tuesday afternoons and basically this is the detritus from unpacking my bag. (I didn't know what to expect so I overpacked). It was OK, the ladies are all nice though I may have lowered the average age by a year or two. I think I will go again, I know two of the other ladies, one comes to my group, it gets me out of the house and you can be focussed on a little project for a couple of hours without having to actually organise anything. The black basket is my WIP box, I took something out of there to do and had a quick weed while I was there. Looking quite manageable compared to a year ago.</p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">I have managed to finish off a few more of those 'Christmas Cluster' cards.

However I read something the other day about list making - you know who you are - and the fact that whilst it is satisfying to cross things off those to do lists there is always the nagging regret about the things that don't get done. So I am introducing you to the concept of the <b>Ta-da!!</b> list. This is where you write down and celebrate the things you did do!! A subtle change of viewpoint but possibly an important one. (I'm still going to have to jot some things down somewhere - I have a terrible memory!! - but they won't necessarily have a schedule). Feeling energised already. 😁</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZBm4EgkMNOs1GzdbGLWoeuNYous7cpYtD3xz6mr40Rz0M85i3j74-jVwqh_3Dj1ViyBPPjPR8n3Dz3_HzLZO33U37nl4QKiQNpvnBAKC9xj0B4cfwGxJLVdO7NIopBCGc62YR_9jLADkLpA0EhTlN30C37ejSJtLvQH1VfobpFrIMK2sIlCQqBaW81Aj/s1080/761.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZBm4EgkMNOs1GzdbGLWoeuNYous7cpYtD3xz6mr40Rz0M85i3j74-jVwqh_3Dj1ViyBPPjPR8n3Dz3_HzLZO33U37nl4QKiQNpvnBAKC9xj0B4cfwGxJLVdO7NIopBCGc62YR_9jLADkLpA0EhTlN30C37ejSJtLvQH1VfobpFrIMK2sIlCQqBaW81Aj/w640-h480/761.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><span style="font-size: large;"><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p>Here is my desk this week, I am in full Christmas mode still as this is when I make all my cards so as not to have that hanging over me at the end of the year.

I was a bit late out of the gate with a couple of things but I am all done now, and I actually have time to do a bit of housework and sorting. The reason for this is that as a family we are not doing presents AT ALL this year and I am not hosting on Christmas Day. It takes the stress out of the whole thing. I can really recommend it, and tbh although our Christmas will be quiet I am quite looking forward to that as this year seems to have passed at breakneck speed.

Still, gotta know your market and overall this was the best I have ever done at this venue.</span></i></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFSGEno7Y5HCbizoDvCvsrrdb4vEasLFjivnvzp-ci14I_HTSD0kpTBq18fJMicUc2HDEG-RhYCAJLANVMFvSEAVXyox50VWjOh1HiDqCX7MWP6Qx4HWnf29y0U3lt9zBrFhAz9HFu3m8tJHf1Q3sTnPL_RNAfSLlAVHSDXBkmVHVkOlSXI5qNsxirX7K/s1080/757a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFSGEno7Y5HCbizoDvCvsrrdb4vEasLFjivnvzp-ci14I_HTSD0kpTBq18fJMicUc2HDEG-RhYCAJLANVMFvSEAVXyox50VWjOh1HiDqCX7MWP6Qx4HWnf29y0U3lt9zBrFhAz9HFu3m8tJHf1Q3sTnPL_RNAfSLlAVHSDXBkmVHVkOlSXI5qNsxirX7K/w400-h300/757a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-srCBwiSq_R2-KltphrcXJbpBEf32GoP52YQDUodzHn52-FE4Eq_SC7hraWlYsMMo74f-rjh-t1MTNHinNHLUDl47VA3mdcNbNnocHAvQxGZWEPICR94ZjIjtMe9pgrfIuI2aAzjERaIYao6QQtvPjXW7MhqREYV4AbAcNDPv4gqsaN3ca1xYlAyjiGO/s1080/757b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-srCBwiSq_R2-KltphrcXJbpBEf32GoP52YQDUodzHn52-FE4Eq_SC7hraWlYsMMo74f-rjh-t1MTNHinNHLUDl47VA3mdcNbNnocHAvQxGZWEPICR94ZjIjtMe9pgrfIuI2aAzjERaIYao6QQtvPjXW7MhqREYV4AbAcNDPv4gqsaN3ca1xYlAyjiGO/s320/757b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnWTmT_Iv4q4uSpUxlvk9Q_Irva7WdfjgS8HfHxndTdMbdknd-o5I7oPS4Cdu4u_OHjPkdT2tlXumtb285dlk_PVm9OsOud5JvR3PaKie8P2JqbNrTXNCj0DBqlDPCKEUQpLL7BKrl0OyZJD75vd3Mwf2r7zuH1bi_UZRkCuwaTF-kPgNgdQfxuVdX2lvj/s1080/757c.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnWTmT_Iv4q4uSpUxlvk9Q_Irva7WdfjgS8HfHxndTdMbdknd-o5I7oPS4Cdu4u_OHjPkdT2tlXumtb285dlk_PVm9OsOud5JvR3PaKie8P2JqbNrTXNCj0DBqlDPCKEUQpLL7BKrl0OyZJD75vd3Mwf2r7zuH1bi_UZRkCuwaTF-kPgNgdQfxuVdX2lvj/s320/757c.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;"><span>The craft fair was in a church hall and was so so so very very cold.

I thought these would be quick but it's not looking that way. I had a bit of a re-arrange for the desk at the back today and moved the pc. See that 'hole' to the left where my bigshot lives? I call that the glory hole because when I am sitting at my desk anything I can't be bothered to put away gets shoved there. Heaven help me if I ever wanted to use the machine. But I tidied it today and all that is left is one bill I can't actually remember if I have paid or not.

But today is definitely a craft day, and also there are some desks to visit of course!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">I have been reading a great book that has kept me mildly amused. 'I'll let myself out' by Jessie Klein. I am so going to get a copy for my daughter. Still haven't heard about the interview, but we have found a child minder (well, if she had called her when I gave her the number 6 months ago she wouldn't have been fretting and looking at awful nurseries so long. But anyway that's all good). My DiL had an interview on Friday and was offered the job on the spot so some more good news this week. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">That's it for me, seems a long post - sorry!! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">Have a great week, love n hugs Cindy xx</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj621zbejTkEDbAnOWModG9vBj6UC_x-0TlvID52l2Is13CY_kJvBBUkS54IwHdDPdwmEIIb8u6nlgXhJlWhK6TUsNDJY7ITTBv5nhXQ7RDu_OC_EDP32dqGhzDUqbtLN_usmsKHwDa-PwWdrJd4HVl-ZD2lblcTZ7DNNkOrxu5emk4JqeA42bADQOjocad/s1532/754G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1532" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj621zbejTkEDbAnOWModG9vBj6UC_x-0TlvID52l2Is13CY_kJvBBUkS54IwHdDPdwmEIIb8u6nlgXhJlWhK6TUsNDJY7ITTBv5nhXQ7RDu_OC_EDP32dqGhzDUqbtLN_usmsKHwDa-PwWdrJd4HVl-ZD2lblcTZ7DNNkOrxu5emk4JqeA42bADQOjocad/s320/754G.jpg" width="226" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">No idea what's going on here but made me smile</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>My name is Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16567522553631637150noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241453094373060198.post-9987856376485213922023-11-08T00:24:00.003+00:002023-11-08T06:47:00.295+00:00 What's On Your Workdesk?

We have a mini Christmas card marathon planned and I still have a bit of prep to do. Currently have 5 cards done, would like to have at least one more to take. The one on my desk is a clean and simple option and it's basically just using a scoreboard, die cutting and a bit of splatter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Trying to keep them simple and use just one technique on each but I have so many ideas it's hard to make sensible choices. I also need to tidy up - as you can see the piling of one thing on another is in full swing and I appear to have three guillotines out (I can justify that tho - small one because it is my favourite, 'orange' large one for bigger pieces of paper and the blue one because I suddenly decided to start measuring in cms). Sadly I have got no further with my retreat projects - maybe next week!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Well that's all for me, babysitting from 8.30 today as DD has been asked to apply for a new role and has a zoom interview at 9.00 am. Fingers crossed as she would be able to WFH around 80% of the time which would make life so much easier and save her a 2/3 hour commute a day plus fares etc.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Can't believe that little splodge will be 8 months old this week. Where has that time gone? And have I bored you with photos yet? (Newsflash - not gonna stop!)</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrDUyLRXw2DmPW7ZCSGlspIjQYZ4ZKbhtCkI3j1Vno8ovrjBFkYg28-OPnC-MgAXL8uu3mcG7qmuGo7bd6mNG9OUtLFHIgMXBO3BBXEGvnP39lzhcREKYIYGhzFMp9TaCVChPon-oGhzfHwHDYzGGYHU0KY4pB4Ml4xmLp8ffuiZ6oyt0RbWE8blwiyEe/s1350/753a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrDUyLRXw2DmPW7ZCSGlspIjQYZ4ZKbhtCkI3j1Vno8ovrjBFkYg28-OPnC-MgAXL8uu3mcG7qmuGo7bd6mNG9OUtLFHIgMXBO3BBXEGvnP39lzhcREKYIYGhzFMp9TaCVChPon-oGhzfHwHDYzGGYHU0KY4pB4Ml4xmLp8ffuiZ6oyt0RbWE8blwiyEe/s320/753a.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Have a great week whatever you are up to. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Love n hugs Cindy xx</span></p>My name is Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16567522553631637150noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241453094373060198.post-20612990843870944822023-11-01T08:15:00.001+00:002023-11-01T08:15:27.763+00:00What's On Your Workdesk?

I made lots of tea and coffee and was able this week to send off a donation for £400. Every year I wonder is it worth it but I do enjoy seeing everyone. It also gives me an excuse to bake, the courgette cake was a runaway favourite this year which was gratifying as I had never made it before.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Anyhoo, here's this week's desk:</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaxB_VcHgUb6noIQwWrPjSrbjyhBkx_AFUiA4KdzxxhMWjdsDVDN8tLDaZz0rz0AV9xqAubfIb7972mHlaSft-O2KU3gQPmZH0AzrXnM08q0o2f4G05RncwJJ07isCXGcGAk0tWJLiOrdwbxS-VtGEZY92cHGQYK8xB4a5OILuvwtNT07Rp0G2GijrdqIj/s1080/750c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaxB_VcHgUb6noIQwWrPjSrbjyhBkx_AFUiA4KdzxxhMWjdsDVDN8tLDaZz0rz0AV9xqAubfIb7972mHlaSft-O2KU3gQPmZH0AzrXnM08q0o2f4G05RncwJJ07isCXGcGAk0tWJLiOrdwbxS-VtGEZY92cHGQYK8xB4a5OILuvwtNT07Rp0G2GijrdqIj/w300-h400/750c.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">I am mainly catching up with various outstanding ATC swaps before I get started on prepping for my Christmas Card Class on the 27th and for a Christmas Craft Retreat on 28th/29th. I purposely kept this week fairly light on social commitments and apart from seeing Chelsey on Thursday my only outing has been to get my various jabs done!! In fact the lady who did my Covid jab today queried my age (66) - she said she thought I had made a mistake when I ticked the age box as I didn't look old enough to qualify. Well, I'll take that any day of the week!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">That's it from me apart from a few sneaky Lionel pics.

Sorry, I missed so many people last week I feel rather guilty. But thanks to all who commented and I apologise if I didn't reciprocate. I don't know where the time goes but I was busy prepping for my little craft fair. I sold over £100 worth of cards, but of course now that means I have hardly any stock for my MacMillan on Sunday so I'm back at the desk batch crafting this week. Managed to make 20+ cards Monday and my desk shows them at the 'just about to add some bling stage'. These are all now done but hope to crack through a similar number today and Friday with lots of inspiration from Lou Collins' 5 minute makes, and a few other videos from Gina K and Natasha Foote. Thank goodness for Youtube.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcEV167OAzUxlaMwMXUlIeU3Xz4z3qbUdtQBWUIThiecnPUD17m48tbqNJjLOSVWy_M4bOqmSjQd-U4Mqm1qCiFZcQA0XOfNYX0tEfJFm8fUpH1cYuXTzIQPOvNjOXZrQHLiJui6sZX6153F-UJG2ShEM1tySJXhSiOuHnivOx-tEmPscGDxWbfeVhMQV/s1080/747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcEV167OAzUxlaMwMXUlIeU3Xz4z3qbUdtQBWUIThiecnPUD17m48tbqNJjLOSVWy_M4bOqmSjQd-U4Mqm1qCiFZcQA0XOfNYX0tEfJFm8fUpH1cYuXTzIQPOvNjOXZrQHLiJui6sZX6153F-UJG2ShEM1tySJXhSiOuHnivOx-tEmPscGDxWbfeVhMQV/w640-h480/747.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I'm doing this late Tuesday, as it seems if I haven't got the post ready to go first thing, I can't do enough visits early doors as I'm still struggling to upload something and then I don't get round all you lovely peeps. </p><p>Keeping it short and sweet this week so I can start hopping.

TBH I don't do many craft fairs these days but hubby has a connection to the farm through volunteering and it's a nice crowd and usually busy so I'm happy to show up but don't have much in the way of stock!!</p><p>The lantern cards were made a looong time ago but I was never happy that they didn't really stand up and it's not really very practical to hang a birthday card. But I have applied my brain (it was a good day yesterday) and come up with an interlocking acetate support for the centre. So gonna jazz these up a bit and take them with me.</p><p>Had a lovely holiday but came home needing another break and straight in to a Craft club meeting last Friday. These are my samples of the card we made, (lattice card) very simple to do but effective. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibMT54KlV0ZzeApaiT6s0QzpqOZaCi60Ha8XsBrF1rMFVEYM9fKbqT1HKZpSTnuqIZeF5ohvIK8R_WcyXohMb9S65-msCICz2AbQymrL201rZ8SxrrjKZ2waUGwgDEqdTJrAoKfu0vat9CdebouxgVlq_AFXhxJWDoyuHHUagU5cq_Fn2Jepc4gGUtbcui/s1080/747a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibMT54KlV0ZzeApaiT6s0QzpqOZaCi60Ha8XsBrF1rMFVEYM9fKbqT1HKZpSTnuqIZeF5ohvIK8R_WcyXohMb9S65-msCICz2AbQymrL201rZ8SxrrjKZ2waUGwgDEqdTJrAoKfu0vat9CdebouxgVlq_AFXhxJWDoyuHHUagU5cq_Fn2Jepc4gGUtbcui/s320/747a.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsA7OLRWK030Q2DrsTBs0VQgcP-hSa9HZhwd8I8sBN0n03Y7Su_vzWiPujiIXWhwpNyucq6tgSsF3_zvhXCUg3M3wap4q5foYEEVjWOqSr7p1XSCnfIbqx92tgS4gu5VZVvuhvLIdXoNEsmGw2VwAsdUtQh15zJXUFI5Qg-fL6PtXtpxraqN-FPfyGKB2_/s1449/747b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1449" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsA7OLRWK030Q2DrsTBs0VQgcP-hSa9HZhwd8I8sBN0n03Y7Su_vzWiPujiIXWhwpNyucq6tgSsF3_zvhXCUg3M3wap4q5foYEEVjWOqSr7p1XSCnfIbqx92tgS4gu5VZVvuhvLIdXoNEsmGw2VwAsdUtQh15zJXUFI5Qg-fL6PtXtpxraqN-FPfyGKB2_/s320/747b.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><p>The holiday was essentially The Lionel Show and I have to say he was an absolute angel but thank goodness there were 5 of us in his entourage!!

I wasn't going to link up at all this week until I realised I will be travelling for the next two Wednesdays as I go to and return from our meagre 1 week holiday in Spain. (Can you tell I'm regretting not booking our usual 10 day break?) so you won't see me for a while. I'm also very late posting as I culdn't get in to my blog. Aaargh.</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat;"><span style="background-color: white;">So here's this week's desk - for once I didn't tidy Tuesday afternoon, it was too hot in here.

The main thing on it is a commission from one of my most demanding clients. She tends to micromanage every stage and gets genuinely excited when I make her a bespoke card. The trouble with personalising things is some people don't know when to stop, and her taste for bling far, far exceeds mine. She is lovely though so I grit my teeth and if I'm not in the mood for constant tweaks send her the finished design when it's too late to change it. The two big white boxes to either side are my coloured and patterned 'scraps' boxes. I've made a bit of a dent doing all those clusters but its still a lot. I have made a bunch of cards with them as I desperately need stock for Macmillan and a fair at the end of September - will post them at some point.</p></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat;"><span style="background-color: white;">My other desk at the back is a testament to how not to have space to work. This is what happens when I just keep getting things out and not putting them away in case I might need them in a minute. There is probably a project under all that mess.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxmJaJXeJwsomTbt38e4u4nw29kryU3kkh8yMMzGGFmkUiksDTqRvdKptHIjDKs5QEPODKMCoQTUNFbABod08MIA74v9L8uIUZKcj704tYT8GiP-azAFzxLW0ufVoDd41ai_SgCL1cS6z308sJI9LZddZsAegMoD_YuRpAbZdvVVhFtsYISZHIT-Wy7iB/s1080/745b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxmJaJXeJwsomTbt38e4u4nw29kryU3kkh8yMMzGGFmkUiksDTqRvdKptHIjDKs5QEPODKMCoQTUNFbABod08MIA74v9L8uIUZKcj704tYT8GiP-azAFzxLW0ufVoDd41ai_SgCL1cS6z308sJI9LZddZsAegMoD_YuRpAbZdvVVhFtsYISZHIT-Wy7iB/s320/745b.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>For now, as I won't be here for a couple of weeks, here's Little Lionel having a stab at some baby rice.

He is really getting mobile and can creep around in almost every direction except forwards (!) and is getting very good at sitting up on his own. Not a baby anymore!! But I have to admit the constant wriggle stage was getting difficult to manage - he's heavy, very strong and I am, well, getting old! He is a lot happier being on the floor now as he can do so much more, doesn't have to just lay there like an upturned turtle. Heaven knows how we will manage on holiday if he gets any better at moving around!! At least there will be 5 adults to keep an eye on him and wear him out. </span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: large;">So that's all from me, I have a quiet week planned next week so looking forward to some crafting but you know how that goes.....</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: large;">Have a good week, love n hugs, Cindyxx</span></p><p><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>My name is Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16567522553631637150noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241453094373060198.post-4333365813032311622023-08-23T09:01:00.000+01:002023-08-23T09:01:52.693+01:00What's On Your Workdesk?

I had gifted them to her but now she would rather not have them than find room for them in her own house. Sigh. So I got a bit distracted when she'd gone and decided I would use them to make 'clusters' rather than find them a home. It would also mean they would no longer be available for use when she visits.

This is what happens when I am trying to find something. I was looking for vintagey collage scraps to make one of the Fodder Challenge Projects and realised my collection was a bit muddled. So I had to stop and tidy it. The detritus on the desk (other than the project) is the stuff that now needs a different home so I have a chance of finding it again. Getting there, but 20 years or so on since I started this collection it's hard to hold it all in my head. Of course not only was I younger 20 years ago, but there was a lot less of it!! Still loving my uppy-downy desk, makes it so much easier on my back and I'm not sitting all the time. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC-uBBK27TdvuGptg-PEnXOOjQ4uKXx9K7Fnf-EevfL_wrlbFzo_6Fz036QsDnffooLWRgDYBSFwYyoSBLAR4DDXPHl3AlR-xyBTqG5qOGr705OTFpmQpRQPtvu7wCduYnIvR_bYMCTEEcRy17PpNYzAwG7GPOOWL-IDelDSB4ErMZlrlf0-jPLk6jT-6-/s1440/740a.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC-uBBK27TdvuGptg-PEnXOOjQ4uKXx9K7Fnf-EevfL_wrlbFzo_6Fz036QsDnffooLWRgDYBSFwYyoSBLAR4DDXPHl3AlR-xyBTqG5qOGr705OTFpmQpRQPtvu7wCduYnIvR_bYMCTEEcRy17PpNYzAwG7GPOOWL-IDelDSB4ErMZlrlf0-jPLk6jT-6-/w300-h400/740a.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Montserrat;">Here's the finished project, they have 'floating' sentiments embossed on acetate.

Noticed that after a year there is a tiny bit of warping so will turn and re-wrap my plates later. Got asked for a turtle card and was surprised I did in fact have turtles in my stamps. Talking of critter stamps, remember last week I couldn't find mine? Well Thursday it was still bugging me so I started to go through all the places I thought I had looked. Of course I started at the wrong end. Then I found this, the last but 1 box.</p></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiN9u7CQcZaTRNe57JIAhmN1DuU29DtCVIjWmCCtlqmZ_yExrh22QZtY_Ipq3TTZZWBD2dn1tpQ7BSiYMm7qfWCIK5cCP68PZAcyL7LjolAhFvA9jkIEn0uyW7k8avD0_G9Rs4kyGl1wqzB1428bH6ARTNUIny0SsrJ1JmHObLDx-KRxS9EyuCBTJI9vpf/s1080/74a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiN9u7CQcZaTRNe57JIAhmN1DuU29DtCVIjWmCCtlqmZ_yExrh22QZtY_Ipq3TTZZWBD2dn1tpQ7BSiYMm7qfWCIK5cCP68PZAcyL7LjolAhFvA9jkIEn0uyW7k8avD0_G9Rs4kyGl1wqzB1428bH6ARTNUIny0SsrJ1JmHObLDx-KRxS9EyuCBTJI9vpf/w480-h640/74a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;"><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>I guess it's bigger labels or gotta go to Specsavers.

She likes cats though so I needed another image. I did the background and turned to my stamp collection (recently re-organised and labelled) where I expected to find a box of 'critter' stamps. But they were not there. So the half hour turned into 2 hours of frantic searching.</p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Nope, nowhere to be found. I recall going through them around 10 days ago when I was looking for the cow. I know there are between 10 and 15 sets so it's a sizeable number of stamps. So after a full on hump for another hour I decided life's too short and went with this giraffe stamp which was in my NBU box. She's going on safari so it wasn't totally left field.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmnBZsxcbH-T-RtF7-0DuNRL2MR8CEsqlRQYwaGipUfxm9w3Xgbh8slNWz1oIJMcsFL6m53Y9aYF_l_7o0gnObaS823vRUizUBk-6CB0N_Qz094NPetlwEgfVOYcXEe5IGvZwL0zXQ8ucnjgkVtOSIi9fYYFUC3agH8KW67zXGiFNWsEgi7uRUJmmInjn/s1080/701b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1080" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmnBZsxcbH-T-RtF7-0DuNRL2MR8CEsqlRQYwaGipUfxm9w3Xgbh8slNWz1oIJMcsFL6m53Y9aYF_l_7o0gnObaS823vRUizUBk-6CB0N_Qz094NPetlwEgfVOYcXEe5IGvZwL0zXQ8ucnjgkVtOSIi9fYYFUC3agH8KW67zXGiFNWsEgi7uRUJmmInjn/w400-h299/701b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I really wish I could remember what I did with them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Still had the hump, but this pic from my daughter made me smile.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiB-HIN1Luzm-qd0xOZquSuwbtdmtuHNQhN_0Ur0RpLVx1uYO96zMdTbBUQM75ZnGCqgvFea_ld4l1N6aMRuQ0HaxrVYL_KHyJCHnRsWHAXVVS8ly7y_oNHfiy_oNjShpHgt1cdICTb3US8tZ2AJXfh66prp-R_6wSx3jsWu0tv2OhlabAEFCYOwJijLYR/s1440/701c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiB-HIN1Luzm-qd0xOZquSuwbtdmtuHNQhN_0Ur0RpLVx1uYO96zMdTbBUQM75ZnGCqgvFea_ld4l1N6aMRuQ0HaxrVYL_KHyJCHnRsWHAXVVS8ly7y_oNHfiy_oNjShpHgt1cdICTb3US8tZ2AJXfh66prp-R_6wSx3jsWu0tv2OhlabAEFCYOwJijLYR/s320/701c.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p>So that's me for this week.

Wednesday #735<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Hi there deskers!! </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to our </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">weekly Wednesday Blog Hop - WOYWW. Here's the link to the one responsible, the lovely <a href="https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/" style="color: #bb213a; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Julia at Stamping Ground</a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"> - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and join in yourself. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">A little late off the block today but I treated myself to a lie in. Life has been full throttle since I last saw you and since last Wednesday I have:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- had a day's Lionel-sitting duties</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- taught a class and out for lunch with my craft ladies</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- had a day at Windsor races and an evening bbq</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- annual family picnic at the park</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- lunch out with friends</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- attended a funeral</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">- booked a family holiday (that was the most stressful thing of all!!)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The next few days look just as bad as I have to take Chelsey & Lionel to an appointment tomorrow, get my nails done </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">and then we are away at the weekend. Someone has just asked me to go to Kensington Palace next Wednesday (I do want to go, just wasn't planning on next week), I have a friend visiting next Friday and somewhere in there I have to make the house and garden able to accommodate 40++ people for my DIL's 30th birthday on the 22nd. I can almost hear July screaming as it runs down the road as fast as it can holding hands with my sanity ..... Those that know me will appreciate that this is a little above my comfort level for busy. I am really not a half full person am I...</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_SUVK2rgDO6pjC57khKDKPiCPY0VQ-CEeWXqpcnOU2INmZjqas_7oQ-zf5xzFsPKcSexYep4ZsVjOyeyBxmIa9Uw3dcbHByJ1HlZBjUHVdpAEnNHQSQK9BxQaS8qIwxelqWwNBz2lXRzPotaeVW29TyGL_cQcJItz4Ye1HYUR7XrPnsaa-Alk1iVkRFCQ/s1080/71.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1028" data-original-width="1080" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_SUVK2rgDO6pjC57khKDKPiCPY0VQ-CEeWXqpcnOU2INmZjqas_7oQ-zf5xzFsPKcSexYep4ZsVjOyeyBxmIa9Uw3dcbHByJ1HlZBjUHVdpAEnNHQSQK9BxQaS8qIwxelqWwNBz2lXRzPotaeVW29TyGL_cQcJItz4Ye1HYUR7XrPnsaa-Alk1iVkRFCQ/w351-h335/71.jpg" width="351" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Still, my desk!! Pleased to report the car card I showed you last week went down a storm (I thought it was very average) so that was good. I still haven't been at my desk much (see above) but I did manage to finish off these two cards last night as well as the spares/demo cards from class. I was attempting to do something with inked embossing folders (it was about a month ago) but it didn't work out quite how I wanted. Still I hate to waste, so I cut them down a bit and made two quick cards.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So that's it from me, so much for a quick post!
