WOYWW 136

Don't forget to check out my blog candy at the top!

All that is on my desk are my unfinished projects


To the left is the one I started and never finished.  Doh!  Was too busy talking to Lorraine whist we were doing it and therefore not paying enough attention.  So I ended up with the bottom of the case covered in the lining paper.  This was fine apart from the fact that my case now has a different top to the bottom.

Would not listen to the cries of "it's fine, it looks nice" - was not for me.  So here it is unfinished and I was too tired to bother with it later that evening.  However, next day I began another one using the pale blue which I wanted to use originally.  Just needed more time to work it out so that I got it a bit more centralised with it having a recurring design on it.

So that is at the same stage - for different reasons.  Need some silver brads.  So ladies and gentlemen it will stay like this a while now as I am busy doing other things, as you will see by my next photograph.  Do keep checking me out, especially around CHA time when I will hopefully be downloading some piccies providing the hotel has WiFi.  Otherwise it will be a few days later when we get back.

In the meantime this was my desk yesterday - or was that earlier this morning - oh heck I am so confused but here is what was in front of me, loet's say, earlier today


See Spencer was busy checking things out on my desk/table.  Do you like his new jumper?  He needed one for the cold morning air as we left - thankfully he is happy in just his t-shirt now.

This was the view from my window as we left England


Want to know about the flight - well, we had the best steward ever.  He was called Stuart and he was absolutely fab!  Nothing was too much trouble and I dined on chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.  Even got to use the posher loos on one occasion as I was having to queue.  And guess who was on our flight?  None other than David Beckham with two of his boys.

Before you ask, NO, I did not get a photograph.  There were streams of people continually going up to them and taking photos and I thought it a bit unfair, especially on the two young boys who must have been tired with an 11 hour flight.  However, he did brush by me as he made his way from the loos at the other end whilst I was queuing outside our loo.  It wasn't until I got in the airport that I realised I had my LA Galaxy cap with me and could have worn it - that way he would surely have said something.  Could have told him then that I used to teach his best man - Gary Neville.  Ah well, opportunities missed but what the heck.

I'll leave it there but in the meantime pop over to Julia's blog and see what all the WOYWW'ers have been up to and what goodies they have on their desks to delight and entice you.  Me - I am off to bed in a few more minutes (and a few more brews - I am so thirsty).

CRAFTY WOMBLE said...

Is it an unfinished project or a project half completed I wonder and does it really make a difference. Hopefully you will feel more inclined to finish it once you are home again :)

What did you teach Gary - a bit of paper-crafting or polymer clay? Can you invite him to our club - pretty please.
Enjoy your US holiday and don't forget we need lots of photos of CHA.

Katie said...

That is so cool that you saw David Beckham!! Once I saw my favorite pitcher on my favorite baseball team while bowling, and just last weekend I saw a TV chef while bowling (again! Isn't that odd?!) and I didn't say anything either. I just don't want to bother people while they are with their families!

Kay Hammock said...

Maybe you didn't like the first box because you really wanted to make with blue? I do that too.

Isn't running into famous people fun? I've had my share and it makes me giddy every time!!

Have fun!

Elizabeth said...

Gosh, it must have been a wrench leaving all that cloud behind and your journey sounds eventful - wouldn't have thought all that fuss was fair on the wee boys either but it goes with the territory I suppose. I would have held back too ... sufficient that he brushed against you, methinks :)) Hope you have a great time over there and I look forward to further reports. Elizabeth x #96

yoursartfully said...

Hey Neet, have a fabby time at CHA, I'm relying on you for all the gossip and hot releases as it's the first time in about 15 years that I'm not going....gonna miss it, so I'll be putting the pressure on you when you get back for every detail!!!

Take care and enjoy the Californian sunshine.

I hate that when I do things the wrong way round! Good luck finishing up your projects. I think your desk looks great. If I had unfinished projects I'd also have mounds of other random stuff.
