WOYWW - Week 77


A bit of a mess this morning - in fact, it's just as I abandoned it last night. There's the latest card in the Alphabet series in process so bits of ribbon, fabric, scissors, glue, card, etc., There's my box of adhesives - I started with some Pritt stick and look what I have now. Everything from sprays, tapes, dots, dimension foam tape, Velcro - the lot. You can also see the ribbon storage my husband knocked up for me after I pointed out what somebody else's husband had made for her - can't remember who but many thanks for the inspiration!
Last but not least there's my wee sewing machine. DH bought this for me a good few years ago now and this is the first airing it has ever had!!! It is cute but it only sews straight lines so which is limiting - I did want to use a zigzag stitch on this card. Next time I'll get the bigger machine out - another present from DH which has never been used - you've got to give him ten out of ten for trying to get me sewing again:)

That's all for this morning because Bonnie, our cat, is having to go for surgery this morning and admission is very early. She has a cyst in each ear and one on the top of her head hence the surgery. She is an elderly cat so worrying but hopefully she will be okay.

For those still wondering what WOYWW is all about please pop over to Julia's blog, Stamping Ground, and discover the crafting snoopers paradise that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Edited later with: Bonnie is now home after the surgery. She is fine, or she will be when she gets accustomed to the collar she will be wearing for the next week - right now, she is confused and really unhappy. Because she is an elderly cat we are just relieved to have her home again. Thank you to everyone who wished her well.

Bye for now
Elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth, I love looking at other's work desks! Mine (the dining room table!) is always covered with so much clutter!!! The card you're making looks lovely and that ribbon storage is fantastic, I'm rather obsessed with ribbon!!
Love your card underneath too!

First of all, I wish Bonnie all the best. I have one of those tiny sewing machines. Thought it would save me lumping my big machine out, but it goes like a bat out of hell so haven't used it. (13)

Nice card you've been working on Elizabeth and very interesting to see that you have an adhesive collection to rival any! As it's late evening now, I hope Bonnie has fared well through the day.

That's a really good idea to have a box of sticky stuff - I must try that. The ribbon storage is brilliant too, although there is absolutely no chance of my husband making anything like that for me; lovely he is, handy, he ain't. Hope all goes well with your cat. Bernie #11

Do hope everything is ok with your cat. They are such a worry. Can I borrow your husband!!! Mine spends all the time trying to get me out of the craft room.!!!! #122

Hi Elizabeth
First things first, I'm glad your puss is home safe and sound. t's always so worrying when they are poorly isn't it? I hope she makes a full recovery.
You've made me smile today, I think it was the ribbon holder my hubby made that inspired you. He'll be really chuffed when I tell him.
Love the card in your last post, what a cute couple they make.
Hugs Lisax

Good luck to her wearing her wonderful fashion accessory as I hear animals don't like them!! Thanks for sharing your workspace with us. Best wishes, Kym xxx (WOYWW No 42)
