WOYWW 476

Morning Deskers,

A brief post this morning,  I wasn't going to do one, but Margaret asked me if I could. She asked me to, because she won't be able to,  she is in Essex, I  think, picking up Marian's mother in law, to take her to North Wales for Marian's funeral tomorrow,  and as soon as we have parked the cat at the cattery, we will also be on tne road, so I will not be able to make prompt responses to any visits.
So a brief pic of the desk,

 So what you can see, is on the left, the beginnings of some Christmas cards, in the centre some Martha Stewart punches I am selling on Facebook and on the right, the makings of an anniversary card for my sister.

This is the version of the same design I made for my daughter, as the picture does not do justice to it, it is in a soft mushroom colour with cream.

Well I must post this or you will never see it, and if anyone is reading this and wonders why I am doing "the full monty" with my desk, pop over to  http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com, can't get a link.

Well I must post this or you will never get to see it

Bless you for visiting,

Hi desk surfers, I am determined to get a post up today, and will do my utmost to visit as many desks as our limited WiFi allows! Yes we've been in the house 8 weeks now and BT/OpenReach are still not able to get their act together to get us a phone line and Broadband, despite the fact that there is a telegraph poles on our land by our back gate and an inspection cover over the fibre conduit, also on our land!
What I do have however, is a craft room, not very organised yet, but this what what it looked like last week

And this is what it look like now. Nearly everything in a drawer or on a shelf, but it definitely lacks organisation!

 

There you can almost see some work in progress.  One bag containing handmade toppers, and the other one containing 'almost toppers', ready to make some, sadly urgently needed,  sympathy cards. I seem to have used rather a lot recently! 😢

If you don't understand why I am "baring all" so to speak, visit the amazing Julia at At The Stamping Ground.

That's all for now, Happy WOYWW and thanks for reading my drivel!
Bless you
Chris

Hi everyone and welcome to WOYWWs 9th Anniversary.
I'm afraid I still haven't managed to get anywhere near anything resembling craft,  so I have no ATCs to swap, which is rather frustrating,  because I had such great plans.
However, this was what Mr D  and I tackled yesterday,

And this is what it looked like at the end of the day.

So we are making progress but there is still a long way to go, and once again, as we still don't have a phone line and broadband,  I cannot promise to get back to you, if you visit, but I do appreciate your lovely comments.
If you are wondering why I am blathering on about my Worktop on Wednesday, especially as mine is non-existence, please visit, Julia, the desk Deva at The Stamping Ground , where everything wiĺ be made clear, and you will find links to real crafty desks.
Meantime Deskers, have a wonderful WOYWW anniversary, and I'll go back to clearing grass!
Bless you
Chris

Well, another week has passed and my craft room has changed significantly,  but sadly not in any way conducive to crafting.

 

It is likely to be many weeks before any crafting is done in there.

The furniture and boxes arrived early last Wednesday, closely followed by Margaret who spent the next 5 days unpacking, unpacking and more unpacking. She is an absolute star.

Monday morning she escaped leaving us to go to Ikea and spend money on bookcases and wardrobes. 

However we do now have a working range cooker

And a jazzy new fridge!
Well if i don't finish this, you lovely peeps won't get to read it.
Many thanks as usual to our wonderful host Julia,
Do pop over and see some real crafty desks.
Thanks for visiting,  and once again,  I cannot promise to return your visit,  not until we have exhausted our pile of boxes, but bless you for all your kind comments.

Morning!

Just a short post to let you know that we are in our house, at last, in a village near Lincoln!!!
If you have stumbled on this blog hoping to see some craft stuff, just pop over to our wonderful host Julia  

This will be my craft room, when the furniture arrives today! And is unpacked and sorted !
Contents of a five bedroom house into a three bedroom house! When we unpack everything and I have some leisure time to do craft instead of unpacking,  this will be the view from the craft room window, probably around about July!

Margaret is arriving Wednesday, after the furniture, with some of hubby's big tools which have been resting in her garage since last August. She is staying a few days to help unpack before she heads back to Wales for a rest.
Thank you very much for visiting and reading, and leaving comments, however I imagine I will far too busy trying to make order out of chaos to return visits.
Bless you
Chris

Morning all, just a very short post this snowy morning.

Yes I do have an active desk as I type.

Just doing a bit of stamping because we have nothing else to do as we are snowed in, actually not quite true, but too cold to move, at Market Drayton.

 

If you don't know why I am sharing my desk, visit The Stamping Ground 

and all  will be explained. 

Thank you for dropping by, I will get back to you sometime.

Have a great day

Chris

Hi lovely Woywwers, it is ages since I posted, mainly because I have had very little to post, certainly nothing on a worktop on Wednesday. If you are a new visitor to my blog, and have no idea what WOYWW is, please visit the wonderful Julia .
However, I did manage to get access to the dining room table to make a Valentine card for OH on Monday, so I decided I would cheat a bit and show you the making of that.
I had lots of fun with my Pan Pastels making the blue master board, and doing the die cutting whilst he was out, and then I was struggling desperately to assemble it with himself in the room.
You can see, sort of centre, the makings of a birthday card for my grandson, that I had to use as cover for the Valentine's card, every time OH came near the table.

Here you can see both finished item.

(One day I will find out how to make a collage of the pictures so that there isn't so much blank space)

As you can tell from the dining room table, we are still at my daughter's in Doncaster, still waiting for solicitors and our seller to fill in paperwork. Biggest problem remains the issue of the septic tank, whether it complies with regulations.  We had hope to move straight from here, but unless we have something definite by the beginning of next week,  we will be back on the boat by Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting and making lovely comments,  I will return visits but it may not be today.
Bless you all
Chris
