WOYWW Week 907

Hello Everyone

Last week Silver wasn't too well so had to visit the vet and that meant I had to miss What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. The vet advised a complete change of diet. Her health has improved, though the change of food has had to be introduced very slowly. She knows what she likes.

So what is on my desk this week. Hmm, it's looking really very boring. It's the dining table again though I'll be moving back to the craft desk now that I've completed Shimelle's Clear the Desk Live Autumn Edition classes and no longer need to be able to use the laptop. That pile of pages you see there are  waiting to have journaling added. Once that's done I will be able to file them away into the appropriate albums. 

Here's the last few pages in the final class.

Pumpkin Carving

Follow Your Dreams

Enjoying Meeting the Skeleton

Oh Creepy

Did I really 'clear the desk' as was the intention of the course. No, I did not! But it was fun trying. I will continue working on the leftover papers over the next few weeks in the vain hope that I'll use every last one up.   

Last year I decided that what I wanted was not a Christmas tree but an all the year round one. I chose this little white one which lights up. So far it's had decs for winter, spring and summer. Normally, I would skip Halloween but my daughter had other ideas. She's recently discovered diamond painting and made this set of spooky ornaments for my wee tree. I love them. 

After all the heat of summer the weather here has taken a real downturn. It's so cold. This was the view I had of the beach yesterday morning as I waited at the bus stop on the way to my volunteering job. Grim, isn't it. It started raining soon after and it kept up all day. Winter isn't on it's way. It's here already.

Finally, there's no post without Silver. I snapped her cute paws as she was making her presence felt while I scrapped. She's such an attention seeker.  

That's me for this week. As usual, if you don't already do so, I urge you to join in with WOYWW. You can do this by clicking on this link, Stamping Ground, where you will be made most welcome.

Take care and have a fabulous week.

WOYWW Week 905 - Today is for Sarah

 

Photo from the 10th WOYWW Crop held in Shrewsbury in 2019 showing Sarah.

When I was contacted by Annie (Wipso) and Jan (LLJ) on Saturday with the news that Sarah had died I was shocked. Sarah, who was still so young and who had recently retired and was living her life to the full. My heart goes out to her Mum, her sons, her sister, her friends - in particular Eva - all will miss her so much.

When Julia announced that she was stepping down from presenting the weekly WOYWW post it was Sarah who volunteered to take over. For that we WOYWWers were grateful. We would have missed our weekly get-together. 

For that, and so much more, Sarah will never be forgotten.

WOYWW 904/124 - A Temporary Workdesk

Hello Everyone,

Happy WOYWW to you all and I hope life is being good to you.

There was just too much going on last week for me to have time to post on What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday as I would have liked. I am hopeful that this week is going to be better.

I have nothing to show on my dedicated craft desk.

Instead, the dining table is my temporary work space just for the next few weeks. The reason for this is that I am unable to get online in the craftroom  - the signal just doesn't reach there - and I need to use my laptop to view the classes for Shimelle's Clear The Desk Live Autumn Edition classes over the next few weeks. So, for now, this is my workdesk. 

I've not got a lot more to share with you today except a few scrapbook pages made for the classes. Here's a few. 

A Super Mice Day

Fun Day

All Smiles

Spooky Faerie Trail Discovery

Autumn

Can you tell that autumn is my favourite season. When I was younger and my hair was auburn the colours of this season suited me perfectly. Not so much now my hair has turned white. 

Of course, the final photo for today has to be this one of Silver.

Where I am, Silver is always nearby. Here she is sitting on the windowsill just beside me, birdwatching. It's the perfect viewing point, even on a rainy day like today.

That's it from me today. Not much, I know. In the words of Van Morrison, 'mama told me there'll be days like these'!

As usual, if you don't already do so, I urge you to join in with WOYWW. You can do this by clicking on this link, Sarah's Craft Shed, where you will be made most welcome.

Take care and have a fabulous week.
