WOYWW 385 - mayhem....

Well, mayhem of a sort, I suppose.  I can't actually share my desk today, but I can share it from a couple of days ago, plus some finished things....

 

And why am I sharing - WOYWW of course!  Thanks to the lovely Julia as usual.  If you're not familiar with it, head over to the Stamping Ground and you'll find all you need to know about joining in!

So, onto my space....

 

Earlier this week my desk looked like this.  I've come to the conclusion that I need better storage.  And that I have a Die Habit.  I'm amazed I'm not in trouble, after Mr B took one look at it and agreed I needed help.  He was referring to the storage.... I think.....

 

 

After that mess came this.......

 

 

Swiftly followed by this!

 

 

 

I actually sold that card - it was a bona fide order, in so much as a work colleague said "I need an 18th birthday card".  Made using the Crafters Companion Die'sire oval accordion die and one of the overlays.  Sooo fiddly, I must buy Stick It! next time rather than try to glue the overlay on using PVA glue.... doh....

 

And a catch up on previously - the finished tissue box from a couple of weeks ago.  Some of you have seen it on FB already, sorry to bore you.  Hehehehe

 

 

 

I needed a dark purple card for the next box I'm making, but couldn't find it in town (Salisbury) anywhere.  It's arrived in this morning's post (thank you, ebay) so I should have  second box to show you next week. Yay!

 

So, I will see you all on the hop.  I'm a bit busy this week with trying to get my little business (Hare Moon Crafts) back up and running.  Meetings every other Wednesday with my web developer to sort the website out, plus we have a Christmas Craft Fair on the 12th November to prep for.  Sometimes I wonder why I do this.

 

TTFN - Happy Hopping!

WOYWW 182

My WOYWW is another non-event this week really.  My apologies to all my visitors from last week - I did get round to many of you but didn't leave a message - it was mostly a quick hop and skip and you have my apologies for not spending more time at each of you.... bad Morti, BAD Morti....

Here's my desk, covered with the current debris of me trying to come up with some Angels for a certain swap... Mr Mojo has left the building and taken my muse with him.

I will be popping by sometime this week, that's for sure - keep a cuppa on the go for me!

WOYWW 169 - a late entry, with Dominos....

Morning Afternoon all!!!

I'm a bit late getting here this week, what with one thing and another.  I actually have the day off, and the weather is dismal.  I didn't take my photo last night for a change, and this week I've actually been quite busy creatively...

So here's my desk today....

On it you can see the creative remains of a domino fest.  Over at Third Coast Challenges this fortnight, they've had a domino challenge, to alter a domino using one of their stamps.  Gauntlet thrown down, I entered three.... 

"Captured" - details here

"North Wind" - details here

"Key to the Castle" - details here

Now I just need to wait and see who randomly won the prize of $25 dollars to spend in their online shop.  As I have about $70 of desires from them, I've got everything crossed.  And I'll keep entering.  I love their stamps, they have both quirky and beautiful ones, and their whole catalogue is a delight to peruse....

See you in a comments box near you....!!

WOYWW 160....another week goes by....

A high speed post from me today!  I waffle far too much for you all to read it and move onto the next desk, so I promise to be brief(er) today.  If you don't know what I'm talking about... go visit Julia @ Dunnit Dimensions.

On my desk this week are the beginnings of project I've been considering for some time.  Years perhaps.  But sometimes it can take that long for an idea to develop, and then the right recipient comes along and BAM! off you go.  That's what this week's desk is all about.  You might get some hints from the bits on it.  Little Wobbly Man thought he'd help out this week.

I've also finally finished week 1 of Project Life - yay, go me! - and we're only at...what... week 26 of the year?  I'll get there.  Meanwhile, if any of you out there know anything about Adobe Photoshop Elements, maybe you can help me suss out why it's printing images smaller than the size I specify on the canvas or image...

You'll be pleased to know that the spare "desk" is a bit clearer this week, and the pile of granny squares is getting taller - not that I remembered to take a picture of them though.

 See, I can be brief!  Catch you in a comments box near you!

Loopy Lou

Now that Julie has received him, here is Lou in all his lunatic glory....


He's just a variation on a theme!






Just a thought - I'm entering this into the Lots To Do Challenges challenge this week, which is all about wood....

They breed, you know...

When good pegs go bad....

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present....


"Pin-head Peg"


That's "Mr" Pinhead Peg to you...!!








nuff said, really.....

Curiouser and curiouser.....

... as Alice said.





The astute ones amongst you will have noticed my tweet over on the right there from last night, which says "There is a naked peg on my desk and it's looking at me funny".

Indeed there is, and indeed IT is.

Why?

Well, over on UKSTampers we've got a new swap/challenge - to make an Altered Peg.


And thus there is a naked peg on my desk. It's looking at me funny - challenging me, perhaps even taunting me in a kind of "come an' 'ave a go if yer fink yer 'ard enough" way. It oozes malevolence.

You see to me, rightly or wrongly, altering something should really change the very nature of it. I've surfed, and seen many an altered peg that is merely coated in paint, sanded back, and then maybe some pretty decorative paper is glued on and then sanded to distress it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I hasten to add - done correctly it's very tasteful and attractive.

But this peg is daring me to seriously do something with it.


I only hope I can rise to the challenge....

After all, it's just a peg!
