I am typing away at the crack of dawn as I don't want to miss WOYWW. Although I might pay the price for this ungodly hour tomorrow afternoon at work when the keyboard appears to levitate...Been trying to grab some time at my table today but no time to finish anything today...so things look like this.
Flowers at the ready after much snipping, inking, and blinging...I love workshops but I am no speed bunny and also a self-confessed tweakaholic, so I still have some finishing up to do on my main project which I hope to show next time.
Just need to remember it is all about learning and the perfecting can happen at home! I really loved my colour choices for the weekend which you can just see a bit of.
Here is just a teeny weeny peak of one of the smaller projects...I actually managed to finish this one completely so that is a small miracle in itself. It was a great mix of techniques and creativity and I definitely recommend the weekend.Even if you are a seasoned pro it is really good to just be in such a big group and have the chance to try out lots of new ideas and also colour schemes you might not pick yourself.
I also called in at LB crafts the day before - just for a look. Well, I stumbled across a bit of heaven on Earth there in Olney. If I lived a bit closer, I might have re-mortgaged by now...
So, a little bit of this and that today - hope to share more soon. Really need to head off to the lad of nod now...x Sarah

Oh Sasa, you tease. I am one of the lucky ones doing the weekend at the end of this week and so excited. Thanks for sharing the desk as well - hope the keyboard does not levitate too much.
Thank goodness for zoomability... I had a really good snoop... thanks so much!

I think you are right not to rush through projects and leave the tweaking for later. Can't wait to see how it turns out. S #84
What I can say is the project looks intriguing! Hope to see the full picture next week. Patsy from

Oh, that project looks great and I can't even really see it! LOL! It sounds like a wonderful time!
I like seeing all those women creating. Thanks for the peeks at what you've been doing. I love your colors. It's easy to keep tweaking, but it can drive you crazy!

Glad you had a great time. Thanks for visiting me. Kathleen x
I tend to take longer than others at projects and that's one thing that puts me off going to events etc. Glad you had a good time. A friend of mine went and despite being poorly there and on the way home she had a fab time. Thanks for sharing your workspace. Best wishes, Kym xxx (WOYWW No 24)
The weekend sounded fab and I can't wait to see the projects fully - your little sneak pics look great! LOL about hoovering duty - that carpet is full of bits!
I visited LB Crafts for the first time in September - lucky I had OH there with his credit card (well, it was for my birthday!)

I love your 'golden' cardboard. Isn't it amazing what you can do with it?

Looks like you had an incredible time at Artsy Craft! And that desk looks like the middle of LOTS of inky/painty fun!
Lovely craft space, looking forward to seeing your finished projects from those sneak peaks.
Ooo, I love those flowers with the gold bits & greeny bits, lovely soft tones.
Look forward to seeing the end result next week :-)

Some lovely peeks of your workshop makes. The colours do look great.

Fabulous colours and I love the flowers. Thank you so much for popping past my workdesk and letting me have a peek at yours.
Love Carrie

Lots of goodies on your desk. See what you mean about the hoovering required. Meanwhile the Artsycrafters inked and painted on regardless ! Look forward to seeing your finished projects.

The pictures of that weekend look fabulous. I'm very tempted to experience something like that myself - there is still a lot I have to learn. Haven't seen anything like this in my area though. Sigh.
Oh I do hope I see you when I do an AC weekend next year - i did feel a pang of envy as I thought of all you crafters this last (and coming Warrington) weekend(s)
I like the cropped sneaky peeks - even when they are not required for secrecy - it is a view that often forces a person to look more carefully and notice more than when the image is of the whole thing...

Lots happening on your really interesting desk and that weekend looks fab.
I've just noticed you live in Ludlow. Our best friends live there too and it's our favourite place to visit. Small World!!

Oh I bet you had a fab, fab time on your artsy craftsy weekend! I'm not too speedy on workshops either ;) Love your gold edged corrugated card - yummy! Sarah 110
Thanks for the peek. The workshop sounds like so much fun! #121
Wow, you have a lot of inks on your desk!
an Artsy Crafty Weekend is something i would love to participate in!
Your workdesk is wonderfully full of stuff! I would love to just sit and poke around for an hour or two!
Looking forward to seeing your finished projects!
Thank you ever so much for those sneak peeks. It all looks so intruiging.
Luv Joanne xx
Glad you had a great time, I went last year and it was a blast.
Can't wait for next week to see what you made.

Thanks so much for the sweet words you left on my blog. I'm still moving slowly, but trying to start visiting people who visited me. I was totally impressed by the group shot of your weekend. Sounds like you had a wonderful time, and got at least ONE project finished. More than I got last OR this weekend! Happy very belated WOYWW (# 15).
J'adore ! J'ai toujours aimé le carton déchiré, je ne sais pas pourquoi, ça me donne beaucoup d'émotion... On peut faire tant de jolies choses et avec l'or, c'est magnifique !
Glad it was a fun weekend for you. I really can't wait to see the finished projects. Thanks for the peek!
