What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday #844

  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. 

Desk as always a pile of stuff to go away'. but here are some recent crafty makes.

Samples for Kraft class last Friday. Everyone loved making this.

60th Anniversary card commission. This really is the last one!!


Another project from my 'retreat' in May

Also a few pics of little Splodge who went to his first music festival with Mummy and some friends.



Unfortunately we are currently not on speaking terms as yesterday he got away from me whilst at the park. He was on his scooter and  I was trying to get him to put his helmet back on after being in the playground when he scooted off at great speed (he's a v confident scooter but was also helped by a slight gradient) straight out of the park gates and onto a busy road. I am sure the sight of an unfit 68 yr old woman legging it through the park yelling 'Lionel Stop' at the top of her lungs is one other park goers could have  done without. Thanks to a kind stranger who blocked him from going any further I did finally catch him up. It was about 500 yards I guess and the moment I realised there was no way I was catching up with him before he reached the park gates (he was moving way faster than me!!) was one I never want to repeat. Lionel was fine but I was close to cardiac arrest. Couldn't stop shaking! Still traumatised and I am never taking that scooter out of the house again. Not even sure I want to be in charge of Lionel at this moment but I expect I'll get over it. Enjoy your week everyone. 
Having just re-lived that I need to go lie down in a darkened room. Again.

Oh Cindy, what a nightmare for you, I’m not sure you’re shaken up by the experience. These scooters and balance bikes are fab but the kids can go really fast and it doesn’t take much for the experience to get out of control, damn fast too. Thank goodness for the kind person stopping him. Now breathe and forgive yourself. I adore his festival gear btw and the ice cream pic is a keeper. Your crafts are pretty stunning too, I can see why the Kraft workshop was a hit, it’s beautiful 🥰

OMG, the What If's? will drive you crazy. Kids just do not realize how much trauma the put us thru. Thank goodness Splodge was OK. I am with you - no more scooters unless you are both penned in someplace. I do NOT believe you about the so-called LAST-ONE cause I feel like we have heard that before. But it is lovely, last or one of many more. Breathe deep and try to relax....
Happy (cancelled knitting day) WOYWW!
