What's on your Workdesk Wednesday - (with Freebie!)

 Hello to all the dear WOYWWers and any other folk having a mooch around here today. Well - what a week. I was already for a mega-creative marathon after playing host to all the guests but I had a slight detour. Just an hour after placing last weeks WOYWW blog I found myself lying in hospital having a blood transfusion with a suspected appendicitis and the realisation that the surgeon might be seeing more of the scissors and a "craft" table than me. Turned out to be something else abdominal so I am still intact, but I was completely out of it, laid up for a week, played human pin-cushion to trainee doctors, and yet again devoid of my craft room. My lovely hubby could see I was suffering from withdrawl so he loaded up his i-touch with 30 videos from the CHA and I got to lie around all day and digitally sniff out the new stash on it's way in December. So blessings to be had after all...
When I was discharged and on the way home we stopped at a garden centre and stumbled across a craft corner - and SALE! Mega-goodies and bargains - what a fab treat after the last week.

 I was so chuffed I have even bought something for you guys to celebrate! Here is one of the goodies - my 50p stamp! Read on for your little treat......
So nowt new on my blog until today... Despite everything being all over the shop as we say - I shall blog, I shall babble, and I shall bag...I use bag as a verb as it has been an intense two days trying to finish my Claudine Helmuth project for this week...It was originally a project to jazz up a vest top but I wanted to do a bag. It was all fine until the sewing machine stitching started looking like fungi and I sewed the handles to the bag three times. I did get an A in this at school - really. Anyway it is the left-over bits of my sticky-back canvas decorated with the faux batik technique. Then it is random stitching and a few buttons (yes mum - it is supposed to look like that...) Despite some major stumbling blocks - I got there and as Monty Python would say - "And now for something completely different..." It is a swing in a very different direction compared to my usual thing but I lurve sewing anyway. I am quite pleased and glad to be fighting with needles and thread instead of drip cables and stands!

 Next week I am off on my hols up to lovely Harrogate - staying closer to home due to the last week but still excited as I get to snoop around the Art from the Heart shop all week -  and - I am doing two workshops there !!! Happy jumps and little squeals...So next week is all luxury, Betty's tea-shops and shopping in York. What more can a gal want? So my WOYWW blog entry might be on tour next week...!

So to end - just a little treat for anyone out there who fancies them. Keeping in theme with all the love hubby shows me and the joy of a little flutter with the pennies ...here are two packs of Papermania rub-ons up for grabs. Just leave a comment and your blog/e-mail so I can contact you and I will soon be sending them on to one lucky WOYWWer. No gimmicks - just like giving pressies - so enjoy!

Thanks a lot for visiting and all your great comments last week...

Still loving my type-writer.

This is me - signing off - over and out - and until we meet again...xxx Sarah
