 Morning deskers, welcome to our weekly Wednesday Blog Hop WOYWW,  now being hosted on Sarah Brennan's blog. Here's the link for that lovely lady - Sarah's Craft Shed - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and join in yourself.

Back again after our little trip to Rome. As you can see my son and DiL Both completed their runs - a first for Ryan. 

We had a very stressful 'journey' as BA had oversold the flight and we were put on standby - didn't even know we were going until 15 mins before take off. I felt quite ill on the flight and  that lasted until we got home so although we got out in the daytime I was just too exhausted to go out. Didn't manage to hit all the main italian food groups (Pasta, pizza, gelato and tiramusu) but we gave it a shot.

We made it to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps- here's hubby right in front of  Trevi. We accidently got there early (apparently it doesn't open till 11 - who knew?) and had no problem getting a photo and viewing the fountain (without paying or queuing).

We had booked a wine tasting event and that was very enjoyable. Didn't do a lot else really. Walked along the Tiber (the most boring river in the world) which was very pleasant and uncrowded!! 

I seem to have been busy with gp stuff since we got back and haven't done much. The box of do it or bin it suff has been completed. Unfortunately I immediately filled it up and it's even worse than before!! Hre is my desk at craft club Tuesday afternoon. I was trying to use up these sweet characters from way back when using some random bits of card as there are only a few scraps of the original papers left. 

Hope you all have a good week and a Happy Easter Weekend. 

Love n hugs, Cindyxx

I was pretty late getting around last week. I think we should accept that as the norm as I always seem to have stuff going on on Wednesdays now.

Not much has changed but I have been working on reducing that do-it or bin-it box. Should be able to clear that quickly now. TBF a lot of it was just putting papers and stuff away away but I made a few bits too despite a distinct lack of crafting time.

So many birthday cards to send out! April isn't much better either but then its fairly quiet till August.

I'm off to Rome on Saturday as my son and his wife are both running the Rome Marathon. Not exactly sure why we are going but gives us a chance to look around and give them some moral support. Not sure I'll be posting next week as will only just be back Weds. 

I really need to find time to do some ironing. Haven't done any since October and half my wardrobe is in the ironing basket. Seasonally quite sensible as I am only just starting to look for some of those things.....

Have a great week, love and hugs Cindy xx

Here's my desk, quite tidy for now - the pile on the left is my do it or bin it pile for the next couple of days, not starting any new projects till that is dealt with.

I did manage to prep a card for last Friday. Went for a simple z-fold and everyone really liked it. Here are my samples. My photos have all gone a little yellow!!

Other than that life has been gently busy as I've been touching base with friends who I haven't seen for weeks and dealing with the huge number of birthdays that occur in March. Not least for my little Splodge (getting bigger by the day) who was 3 on Monday. How the time does fly!!

Anyway already behind schedule and meeting up with another good friend this afternoon. Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx

Well here we are again, back at my 'at home' desk. It's Wednesday, I'm late on parade, and I have only been in my craft room to tidy so here's a photo of the Lou Collins inspired card we made at my card making class a few days before we left on  holiday. I can't tell you how much there was to tidy up, as the class was a Friday, My hubby had his 70th birthday party on the Saturday, family get together on the Sunday, Lionel duties Monday morning then flew out Tuesday so nothing was put away after the class. 

Guess what, a month has gone by and I have another class booked for Friday and have done nothing, not even decided on the project let alone prepped it. hey ho. I always do work better under pressure.

So that's me, have guests today so maybe Thursday before I get round. Happy WOYWW Cindyxx

What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday #873

  

Well, I’m here and managed to add a photo. However all I can see is two greyed out boxes with ‘IMG’ on them. See what happens when I publish!

HAPPY WOYWW!

We are now at our second location, Costa del Silencio, near to las Galletas which we are walking to this morning. It is very different prospect playa de las americas and has been blissfully peaceful and quiet for the last three days. As luck would have it, the ‘council’ turned up at 7 and started doing something requiring the use of a large compressor. Oh well, que sera, sera……

Obviously little to report on the crafting front but hopefully I’ll have something to show you next when I will be posting from home. 😟

Meanwhile, have a good week!

Loven hugs

What’s on your workdesk ? Wednesday #872

 Well hello there. Remember me?

On holiday so battling with my iPad. Least I could do I thought was post on WOYWW but this is the third week of the holiday and first attempt today. What can I say, routine means nothing, breakfast, lunch and dinner are vague concepts and showering is optional. But we are very relaxed and pleased to be here in sunny warm Tenerife until the end of February.

Brought a little water colouring to try out but not feeling that inspired. It’s simply easier to do nothing.

Otherwise all is well with life, still occupied with nonna duties, going to craft club and teaching card making once a month, coffee meet-ups, lunches with ladies who do, theatre and museum trips. But never enough time!!

Hopefully I can take time off from reading thrillers to read what thrilling things you have all been doing. I’ll even post some photos if I can work out how!

Love n hugs, I do think about you all a lot! Happy wWOYWW Cindy xx

EDIT think I’ve changed the link but if you have got here another way well done you!

Sorry to be so erratic at taking part and commenting - for some reason Wednesday  is no longer my peaceful day at home on my own when I can just sit visiting desks at my leisure. People seem to have cottonned on! Case in point, one friend is coming over to make cards (cue stress) and another has requested I stop by later to help with an outfit dilemma (cue being stuck in traffic when I should be making  dinner). For reasons I don't  need to go into I don't feel I can say no. So I don't know when I'll be round. I'm getting a coffee in now. 

My actual desk is cleared for action so here is my desk from yesterday's Craft Club. Only 5 of us this week! I think I made 5 cards - looks like one may have fallen on the floor!

And a picture of Lionel in the park collecting conkers last Thursday just because I haven't posted ine in a while. Such a happy boy.

Never did work out what that mysterious card fold was. Have decided I no longer care. They are going  to become twisted easels.

Have a wonderful week, love n hugs Cindy xx
