Another week, another WOYWW, anther week closer to the Crop. Who's going?
My desk is a bit of a mess today, left like this from yesterday when I decided to have another go at my teabag workshop prep. Finished another painted book but sorry, cannot show it you until nearer the time - just in case ...
Hope it doesn't make you seasick - it is a bit of an unusual angle. Lace first of all, followed by a teabag book - well, it will have teabags in it later; then there are an assortment of tiny envelopes containing bits of ephemera I might use on some of my teabags; plus various teabags themselves (turmeric dyed ones, fruit tea ones, nicely stained ones and round ones). At the top end of my counter you can see my encaustic iron and a tea towel that I have been using to provide a padded surface for ironing the teabags on. Just in shot is a card I made in a coiuple of inutes. It was something I brought back from CHA a couple of years ago and I tore two edges and stuck it on a piece of navy blue card and then on a blue one. It will come in for something in the future when I don't have a card ready for an occasion.
Hasn't it been gorgeous weather over the Easter break? Hope you all got time out in the sunshine. I actually made a card at weekend but forgot to scan it as I was in a hurry to get it in the post. Sad to say it was a sympathy card as one of our friends lost their son. It has been a most upsetting time and I have shed quite a few tears here and there.
On a brighter note here is a corner of our garden filled with forget-me-nots. Quite appropriate under the circumstances.
Well, that is it for this week - not long now before we have the Crop. I guess we are doing ATC's to swap - perhaps I will do round ones for a change, especially as I was doing them to take to Nijerk this year and then was unable to go. Read all about it here and then sign up - it would be lovely to meet you all.
Just a note: some of you read it wrongly last week - it is the GP Surgery that I have problems with, not the hospital. Our hospital is pretty quick with responses to requests for appointments. It is not unusual to have to wait seven weeks for an appointment with a doctor at the surgery, even if the GP has requested it or a hospital test has shown up that a GP consultation is needed.
