What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - Week 675

Hello Everyone, 

I've only just realised that this is my 2000 post! I think it's quite fitting that it's a WOYWW post. I know I've not been able to participate in quite a few Wednesdays recently but I so appreciate the WOYWW community and thank our Head Desker, Julia, for hosting this weekly chance to see all the desks, messy or otherwise, of so many talented crafty ladies. 

There's not really much to see on my desk this week. Just the start of another scrapbook page. Homework for Shimelle's Scrap a Rainbow class. The colour wheel is proving very helpful. I'm thinking I might use the alphabet stamp set - it's new from Hobbycraft. That or the oversized word, 'adventure'. Decisions, decisions.

I thought I'd share these 12"x13" folders found on Craftelier. 

I'm always trying to find better ways of organising stash. Mainly because I get uncomfortable when stuff becomes unmanageable and it's the nature of scrapbooking that there's a lot of stuff to manage. 

I now have somewhere to store my cardstock and scrapbook kits and they are easily accessible.

One corner looking so much tidier. Not that it's helped me find several items that seem to have gone walkabout recently! 

Our Silver is growing up so quickly. Sadly, they aren't kittens for long. 

I was reminded just how small she was when I came across this shot of her siblings. Adorable! 

Still no book bit. It's not that I've not been reading books but not only am I The World's Slowest Scrapper but I'm now The World's Slowest Reader. All down to a combination of dyslexia and double vision caused by developing cataracts although I'm told my new glasses should help. Fingers crossed. 

And finally,

Take care everyone and have a wonderful WOYWW. 

Scrapbook Layouts 2022 - Nos. 7-9

Hello Everyone,

I hope this finds you well and having a good day. 

I'm still trying to share all the pages made this year but I'm way behind so with no further preamble here's the next three.

No. 7 - Just Lovely 

These photos of Silver snoozing in her 'cat tree' show her cute little paws. Well, they are cute until she gets her claws out! When she was tiny she had little control of her claws but I'm happy to say she does much better now that she's a lot older. 

No.8 - Woof

This is Frida, my youngest granddaughter Shari's puppy.  Shari is an artist so, of course, the puppy is named after an artist she admires, Frida Kahlo. She's a lovely dog but I'm told she is very stubborn. 

No. 9 - Love Meow

Dated 2014, this is one of the last photos taken of our beloved Bonnie. She was getting old and not too well at the time but still able to get out and enjoy sitting in the sun. You might recognise this pic - it was displayed on the sidebar for a couple of years until I could bear to delete it. 

The papers for all three layouts, including photo mats and stickers, are from two themed collections - DCWV's 'Playful Pets' and Echo Park's 'Meow'; cameras, Bramble Fox; flairs, Dotty About Flair. The dies used were from Docrafts X-Cut Spiro Circles & Homespun Hearts sets.

To date, I've made 44 pages so I've a way to go before I've caught up sharing them here. We are in May already so I need to get a move on and record more before I run out of year! 

Take care everyone and, I'm still saying this because the virus hasn't gone away, stay safe.

Crochet Project - Harmony Granny Square Blanket

Hello Everyone,

Just popping in with a quick post to show that I'm crocheting again.

I started this project more than a year ago. Perhaps two years even. Such neglect! 

It's been easier to concentrate on scrapping. It's been my therapy when things have been difficult. But recently I've been thinking about my other hobbies, e.g. sewing, knitting and crochet, and how much I enjoy making things. 

So, I've decided to simply make time for them. To begin, I've scheduled two Sundays in every month, one for knitting/crochet and the other for sewing. 

It's time to pick up my WIPs (Works in Progress) where I left off. I'll try to share how I'm progressing here from time to time. 

Take care all. 

Elizabeth

PS: The pattern for the Harmony Square Blanket can be found on Attic24's blogspot.
