WOYWW 191

Well, here I am - still in America and today the sun has been shining but there has been quite a wind blowing so don't be too envious of me being here.  It's not exactly sun bathing weather.

Thanks to all of you who have been keeping a watchful eye on my blog, apologies I have not had the time to reciprocate but I will make up for it when I get home between the sleeps caused by jet lag.   Only just over a week now before I head for home.   The time has gone by so quickly and I have not done all the things I was going to but I have enjoyed myself so much.

Here's my desk today


Can't show you the cards I have been making as they are in another room in readiness for Saturday's Stamp Camp and my feet are aching so much.  It's a long trek from the Stamping Room to Mary's Retreat!  You can see some of the boxes ready for the day in the foreground of this "long" shot of the desk/table.


Here is something made earlier though


I think Maureen from Oregon (Hi Maureen) originally sent this to Mary so Mary's daughter, Carrie, showed me how to make one.  Would look nice on top of a gift box to someone or hung on the tree at Christmas.  An idea for Vicky Stampers!


And here is a bracelet made at CHA under the guidance of Julianna Hudgins who has had a bead loom made to enable this to be done so much quicker and easier.  Watch out for it from Beadon (I think that is the company who are doing it).  I got one of only fifty given out at the show.  Whoo Hoo! (So did Donna and Jennie).

That's it for now folks, off to a Stamp Shop tomorrow to see Stacey.  She does some fab You Tube presentations - hope she is at the shop.

Take care all of you, Stay safe and keep tuning in to WOYWW to see what everyone is about.

ps have been living with these two cuties for the past few days

So much crafting going on with you! AWESOME!!! I love the ornament - I made one myself as a gift. That bracelet is amazing!!! I don't envy you the upcoming jet lag, so be sure to enjoy every moment before it happens, lol!

Happy Crafting!

Am loving reading about your trip to CHA - you write such an interesting blog and the pictures are always great. Have a safe journey home Neet. Cxxxxx

MaryH said...

What fun to be at CHA, and get to take a class with JH...I love Stacy's youtubes as well (if we're talking the same Stacy..scrapmadesimple?). Just made an order by phone with her...she's so sweet. Your desk is so tidy, and I'm glad you're having fun in the US. Admittedly, it hasn't been sunbathing weather...even in So. Fla, with 80 degrees. Been a bit of wind. TFS and be back to see you soon, to check out all your lovely projects from your fun classes. Ornament & bracelet were too gorgeous.

MaggieC (Silvercrafter) said...

I hope you bring loads of new ideas back home to show us. It certainly looks as though you are having a ball out there. Love that flower, so perfect for a special gift box. Enjoy the rest of your stay and safe journey home. xx Maggie#11
