Hello WOYWWers, Followers, Everyone
It's true. There isn't a lot for me to show on my desk this week, or, for that matter, any other week recently. I'm finding it tough getting back to the fun things when there's still so much other stuff needing my attention. both here in the flat and outside in the shed. Those boxes seem to be bottomless!
Anyway, enough of my moaning. What's on my desk is the beginnings of a new layout. The photos are of my mother and her older sister, taken sometime in the 1930s. The papers and alphas are leftovers from a kit I used earlier this year to make another page. When will the layout get done is anyone's guess but it's there waiting for me and my mojo to return.
Silver enjoying a blissful moment of sunshine. We've had a lot of rain in the last few day. I believe the slab she's sunning herself on covers a well of sorts but for her it's just the perfect sunspot. She brought me a present the other morning. A live vole! I know she was only showing me how bringing home food should really be done - there's no need for those trips to the butcher's after all - but I'd rather she didn't. I was able to catch the poor wee thing, take it out to the garden, and set it free. Hopefully, it survived the trauma.
Finally, the funnies - these make me think of how Silver must have felt when I rejected her wee pressie this week.
A really bad-tempered cat cake!
That's enough from me today. To see more creative workdesks pop over to Sarah's blog,
Sarah's Craft Shed. If you don't already do so, feel free to join in the fun and show us what's on your workdesk this Wednesday. You'll be made most welcome.
Have a great WOYWW day and a fabulous week everyone,
Take care everyone,
Elizabeth
Oh my but that cake is a hoot. I've read that cats like concrete slabs. but Poppy has never been that interested. She prefers laying on the grass in the tunnels from the catio to the lawn. Not sure I would be keen on a vole as a gift LOL! I am online (for the moment) but no clue for how long. Two houses, twice the trouble. Grrr. Sorry about missing last week :(

Cat Cake- Ha ha! does it have friskies as a filling? every little bit counts. thinking go you finding time to work on that layout! Robyn lucky 13
ReplyDeletethat cat cake is fab!. Well done on rescuing the vole. Happy WOYWW Helen #3
ReplyDeleteLove the cake! You're excused having a quiet desk. When Mr Mojo goes on holiday it's a pain but worse still when he comes back with his family and you don't know where to start. When my hubby lived at home with his parents they had a stable style door in the kitchen that opens at the top and their cat regulary jumped over it with a mouse or some other small rodent, I think she thought she was bringing them a gift. Bit late today as I had to go out. Happy woyww with hugs Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteThose photos look lovely Ellie - you will enjoy creating one of your beautiful pages with them. The cat cake is fab - such talent amongst the cake decorators out there. x x Jo 🌈

Oh love that you have lots of scrapbooking kits and are revisiting them. I got stuck on my latest LO whilst in my doldrums so put it away for another time. Hugs BJ#5
ReplyDeleteah the joy of sorting..not! I know what you mean, we had to rip our shed out and build a new one so I am having to sort all the boxes from the shed, fun! LOVE that cat cake though, did make me giggle.

Love the cake Ellie and those cats would make fabulous stamps. Really like the look of that layout too. I am celebrating my first official day of retirement by visiting desks as the weekend and last week were rather manic. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah
