Well - what ain't on my desk is a better question...and if it ain't on my desk, then its all over the floor, or piled on the chair or spread across the landing, or in that crate....seems to be everywhere. This week you find me amongst the wonders of workshop prepping. I had said that I would be teaching my first ever workshop, so my craft room is a torrent of kits, crates, plans, pots and a wee bit of nail-biting...I think I have even packed the kitchen sink - that's down to my "you never know attitude".
The other side of my room has been taken over by the kits. I am putting everything they need in one bag so that they can also finish off at home. I really enjoyed doing this bit actually and they do make such a nice photo. I wouldn't fancy doing 100 of the things though. I always love getting my first bag of goodies at a workshop - almost as good as sweeties!
In between all of this I am also dabbling with my own Christmas card ideas - and no I haven't started yet - the month still begins with an N!
Just been playing around with some patchwork ideas or maybe I just love faffing around with pretty papers and my square punch too much...
Hope you all have a good WOYWW - will try to get around to you all again - which all depends entirely upon on Mother Nature. I am living minute to minute as my sister is about to have a baby and I am going to be there! And as if that wasn't enough frivolity for one week - I will be 40 on Saturday. Yes - it's all go at this funny farm, I can tell you. So, there could be just about anything on my desk next week! Time will reveal all. Toodle-pip for now,

Your workshop designs look lovely and the kits do make a great photo, don't they? I like the look of them all lined up. Do you make a bag up of spares like I do? Someone always loses their bit of ribbon or their brads and swears it was never in there... so its handy to have a couple of extras!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabby 40th this Saturday and good luck on the new baby front too! Annette #58
Good luck with the workshop, you look ready.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are gonna be busy!

ReplyDeletethose kits look very very interesting,
Congrats on the big 40 , next year I shall be on the far side of half way to the graceful gazelle like slide towards 50 I have to confess once had two decades under my belt each batch of five and ten years has just shot past whilst I kept thinking - nah not old yet surely.....and I'm sure a year goes in ten months now 'cos it cannot be 11 months since the last Christmas time?

The cards look lovely and the kits delicious. The pictures really are wonderful. There is still more days in the month then there are gone. I had hopes of finishing my cards in September, lol oh well.

Sounds like you are having a really fun week! Good luck with the workshop - I run some here in the Midlands and I love every minute of it. Good luck with the baby too and enjoy turning 40! Thanks for commenting on my blog last week - sorry I didnt get back to you but it was one of those weeks! (no.45)
ReplyDeleteSasa,
ReplyDeleteIt's bad enough that I am running late, then I have been plagued with that pesky 503 error all night. Just wanted to drop in and let you know I was here this week.
Looks like I missed your birthday. Hope it was great.
