Wow, number 900!! Well done everyone. Of course I haven't been here since the beginning, the first time I joined in was (I think!!) back in 2011. There are things on that desk that I definitely still have in my craft room. I have also been an intermittent visitor as life, work and family got in the way. I was certainly more productive then than I have been since I retired!! It's lovely though to still be in contact with people from back then after all this time. Thoroughly enjoyed the crops as well, and meeting people IRL. I still remember my kids warning me about contacting 'strangers' and going off to meet up with people I'd met online. Jokes.
We never did manage one in London.
Here's the desk today.
Been a busy week and flown by as usual but I have managed to get prepped for my Kraft club on Friday. I have just remembered I am booked in for a sale table at Horsenden Farm on 19th September. Slight possible date clash there, and I have no idea what I'm selling.
Oops. Ah well, maybe it will rain.
Have a great week everyone, off to mind Lionel while Chelsey goes off to her 38th wk antenatal appt so most of my visits will probably be tomorrow.

Yes your eyes do not deceive you, it is me.
It's been a minute.
What a summer. I have spent most of it sitting on my deck under a gazebo, drinking iced coffee, reading and gazing at my garden.
Don't flip out, my lawn is green because it's fake. I love it (although I have had genuine concerns about it actually melting this summer) and I feel there is enough eco goodness going on in my space to make up for a little fake lawn to look at where a real one wouldn't grow properly anyway.
My South facing craft room has been a no go area, almost consistently 34 degrees and upwards despite my best efforts. so not a lot of crafting being done. Even on this relatively cool evening it is still 25. So my desk is empty, although the room is pretty tidy.
The WIP box is down to 3 projects that are a little too complex for a heatwave and my scraps have been organised to within an inch of their lives. The NBU box has seen little activity but it's in my sights. Productivity is way down, although I did make this card for an ex work colleague who turned 70 in August.

This is the card we will be making on Friday. Rather pleased with it but it's taken ages to prep. The card itself takes very little time to put together but making up the individual packs takes rather longer, especially when you have a finite amount of the papers!!
It was our 36th wedding anniversary yesterday and we went out for a meal which was lovely though I have so little appetite these days we end up sharing everything!! Here we are having a cheeky Margarita before we left.
Hope you are all well, have a good crafty week, stay cool and stay hydrated!

Here's the desk, still faffing about with my project for Kraft Club on Friday. It's a big group so I have kept it simple.
Managed these two cards at Craft Club yesterday.
Sorry I missed last week, with a long weekend away over the bank holiday to see my Sister and brother in laws (best BnB ever), then extra Lionel sitting over half term I actually completely missed Wednesday!
Back has been so much better (it's warmer - coincidence?) so I have been feeling more energised but sadly not in the craft room. Transferring my winter/summer wardrobes has been quite the workout in the heat. Mind you, I have now developed plantar (foot) psoriasis which is incredibly sore and painful so I'm still hobbling about.
Ah well, at least it's not both at the same time.
Recently I was in discussion with Angela (Radford) about a kinetic die I had seen her use. I was dithering about the purchase. She very kindly sent me samples, some cut outs and instructions. This is my first attempt. The bits inside rotate as you open it. I have a little video but of course i can't upload it. (I have of course now bought the die!!)
Hope you are all well, have a good crafty week and love n hugs from me,

Here's my desk. The WIP box has been much reduced, in fact there isn't much in there at all. The NBU (Never been used) box however is overflowing with stamps and die sets. Lots are individual but I stopped counting at 50. There is a Christmas one as well. (Hangs her head in shame).
I missed a couple weeks back there because I went on an impromptu trip to Corfu with DD and Lionel. He had a great time but it was a tad cold for me. Which is why we didn't introduce him to the rather lovely little waterpark till the last day as it would have meant one of us being in the water with him. Sandcastle's on the beach were preferable!!
It was very well received and the ladies have gone off and made more with their own spin on it.
Always gives me a buzz.
Like many of you I watched the livestream of Neet's funeral. It was a lovely celebration of her life and I was glad I made time to be there.
RIP Neet.
Hope you are all well, have a good crafty week and love n hugs from me,

17 years!! Well who would have thought it? Certainly something to celebrate!!

Today is our 17th anniversary and although I have not been around that long and have had some huge absences WOYWW has been one of the constants of my life for many years and I treasure the friendships I have made there.
Today we are especially remembering our dear friend Neet who was recently taken from us and I have used an image that she sent me on my anniversary atc. I do have 1 more to swap so if anyone is interested let me know.
The other items are artwork shared with me by Neet over the years - there is more, but retrieval requires climbing and the back is still playing up a bit so will have to stay where they are. I shall miss chatting and swapping with Neet very much.
Not much else going on here, recently went on an impromptu trip so haven't been about much since my last post but more of that later.
Hope you are all well, have a good crafty week and love n hugs from me,
