Sometimes it's more a case of what isn't on my workdesk. I am missing both my decorum and sanity as the 36 week baby clock chimes louder and rounder. Still a bit on the small side, so today I hope the midwife will say "Oh, at least another 10 DT projects and shopping trips to go Mrs. Engels." Just done the big hospital list...so much money on so many totally unglamorous things for baby, bums, 'bits' and boobs! Apart from the lovely new armpit hugging underwear which is decidedly liberating!!!
Doing quite well although it's tough on the old Mojo creating pieces back to back and sigh.. I DROP EVERYTHING! The used stamp pile has even hijacked my typewriter.
ATCs must be the 'in thing'...
They're coming at me from all angles. I made this one for the Everything Wendy Vecchi group - all thanks to my fab friend Kaz who sent me this scrummy stamp set. MERCI Missy Ranger Gal!
Just fooling around in miniature and having fun before I start on project 896.
Might make my hubby wear it in the delivery room... although I have to say it looks more like my Pa. Well minus the flowery hat then.
I dug out some old word stamps and I then I found this Hampton Arts lady hiding in a corner of my stamp box. I thought she deserved a little inking and daylight.
If only my week was as uncluttered as my card! Right, time to blog hop and then I gotta wibble wobble away... Midwife, final baby scan and Ikea today. Thanks to everyone for calling by, the lovely words, baby-tips, stern advice and new followers. It's slightly manic but I am planning to go off-duty in June! Planning - LOL! Like it's optional! Really - thank you all so much!
Over and out. Sarah.
Sarah, love your Wendy atc!!!! And your 'less is more' cards are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sarah... you know I love your art with all my heart but all I can focus on is 36 weeks... enjoy, Sweetie! Put your feet up and revel! Life's about to change big time and the art will come when the art will come. It's always in you, even when it takes time to get it out.
ReplyDeleteSarah, your cards are fantastic. Love the atc's. Take sometime for yourself before the little one arrives. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteOOOOO it's all so exciting, I can feel your happiness and stuff, from here!! Hope it all goes well. Interesting post and lovely work as always

Love your cards and ATC's, hope you get all your list complete before the big day!!! but dont forget to put your tootsies up in between... Hugs May x x x#26
ReplyDeleteThat was a great posting Sarah, it made me laugh, you sound like you are getting all out before you run out of puff.
ReplyDeleteI missed the chance of a typewriter like yours the other week. I could kick myself.
The soul mate cards you have made are lovely and the ATC's are inspirational.
Thanks for the look round it was great. Good luck with the baby.

Hmmm I'm sat here wondering which hospital you will be having the baby at? Shrewsbury? That was where I did my midwifery training :-)
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well.
Hugs,

Fab ATC's, all of them, Hope you get on with your list and some time to relax.... lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, Helen 4
Am so excited for you, I remember those last few weeks well, even though my boy will be 14 this year! Eeek. Anyway your desk shots look fab, that typewriter is scrummy and those projects are very inspirational. I'm a newbie to ATC's so am thinking about mine, think ink, stamps will be used. Take care & enjoy WOYWW. Zo xx 66
ReplyDeleteYay for ATCs for they are truly fab!
ReplyDeleteYay for approaching motherhood, you'll never regret it :)
Yay for big undies - no more underwiring going sproing into your soft bits!
Have fun,
LLJ ~48 xx
good luck with the baby, hope everything goes well. Gosh, you look really busy. Love your atc`s and your less is more cards x Lavinia
ReplyDeleteYou must be superwoman in disguise Sarah, all that crafting while coping with pregnancy, shopping and DT work. You received some gorgeous ATCs but I bet yours were stunning as usual.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

My, but your life sounds absolutely hectic and I can imagine that your are working all out to get those DT projects done - I'm only going on holiday, not delivering a baby, and I'm concerned about clearing the decks, so good luck with all that. All the ATCs are fantastic and I like the clever way you tackled the 3 stamp requirement for LIM. Take it easy in these last few days/weeks of pregnancy, you need to conserve your energy for the big event :) Elizabeth x #42
ReplyDeleteSarah.....just want to say....YOU ARE AMAZING!!! and the little bundle that is to arrive soooon....oh that will be amazing tooo!! A life changer for all the right reasons!!
ReplyDeleteGood god, week 36 and hospital purchasing!! I bet things have changed dramatically in 18 years. I think the hardest thing is that everyone has an opinion on what you need and how it will be, and until you need it, you won't know. I had new stuff unopened after 6 weeks because I just didn't need it all. Anyway...am full of admiration that you're fulfilling your DT obligations - honestly, your desk doesn't look as if you've dropped it and moved on, it looks as if you're surrounding yourself with mojo to me! Lovely. Maybe I'll come up and 'tidy' for you when I come to see my new neice.
ReplyDeleteHow inspirational are you! You are one driven woman but I can understand that you have a lot to do and so little time, but from what I know of you so far, your will do it all with time to spare. Love those ATCs, (sure I have seen the face one before??) and your Wendy one is fab as are your LIM cards. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #9
ReplyDeleteWow, so much to do before the little one arrives! Love you ATCs...very talented lady!

Love your ATC! and the ones you received are all great! Loving the less is more card, I can't seem to get to grips with less is more at all, I'm more of a 'the more the better' kind of gal :o) x April#86
ReplyDeleteThe ATC's are amazing, lucky you! I have chalks, your cards reminded me! (where???) Not long for baby day! Mine have grown and flown but BDay is never forgotten! Good luck with all your projects!Thanks for my snoop! HappY WoYww!
ReplyDelete((Lyn)) #47....I think
Thanks for showing off the ATC's from the swap. Glad my desk isn't the only crowded one in the world. Best of luck with the coming baby! That is an exciting time for sure. Mine are grown 24 and almost 22. Time goes by fast so enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love ATCs yours and all the others too. Good luck for the next few weeks! Jacqui #137

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE reading your blog. You always make me smile. You definitely have a way with words...and the phrases are so fun to read from the other side of the pond.
Be well...I'm so excited for you and the new little bundle on it's way.
Your Friend in ART,
Linda
simply FAB cards Sarah
ReplyDeleteLove the blue one
Thank you very much

"Less is More"
what a striking group of cards...perfect....and what a wonderfully creative desk ...so much going on.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I'm sure it was you who mentioned using a typwriter for journalling, well I got my hubby to find mine from the loft, it is BRILL. No more running downstairs to the printer or not journalling at all and now I can use up scraps of coloured card in it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million BJ#52
Fabulous atcs - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete#101
Eeek 36 weeks! Remember babies need nothing but milk (which you have), nappies and lots of love. Mum could do with a sitz bath afterwards though too, I recommend that ;-) Glad you can still reach your desk though :-) #58
ReplyDeleteI see you have the Tim Holtz scissors, I do too, they are the best ones I have ever had! Love your ATC and the less is more cards are fabulous. I'm glad you are going to be taking it easier from June - it will definitely be time for you for a while xx
ReplyDeleteOh I do love the ATC's and the simple cards, but I hope in the midst of all this hectic creating you are taking plenty of time to rest.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on those cards! Oooh you are in the home stretch now for the baby. How exciting!! Happy WOYWW! Warmly, Tracy #88
ReplyDeleteWow you certainly are a busy worker bee! I get the feeling you are just that type of person who is always on the move and doing something! Hopefully you will have a bit of quiet time before the new one arrives!
ReplyDeletexoxo Karen #168
Just love your work!
ReplyDelete#158 Katarina
A perfect set of CAS cards.
ReplyDeleteBoy you have been busy! Even this baby is going to arrive with ink on it;s fingers!

Hurrah for 36 weeks! Hopefully your crafting frenzy (utterly cool though your creations are) will abate soon and allow you to have some quiet time to rest and hold hands with your husband as you anticipate your new arrival. Happiest of WOYWWs to you from Laura #117
ReplyDeleteWow! There sure is a lot happening in your life! Happy very belated WOYWW
