WOYWW 599

WOW - one more to go to number 600 - of the editions of the longest running blog hop - WOYWW.  Please go here to find out more about it.  Why not join us this week and then you will be here for the 600th edition and the live Zoom party that is planned.

Well, I have been saying for weeks that I would show you the book I made with the Janet Klein figures ins it so here  - at along long last - is a video showing all the pages.  Excuse the state of it but it was done at the last minute as per usual.  The photo below shows it when it is open and spread out

and here is the video - fingers crossed it works

and now to my desk


This is my attempt to get ready for the workshop I am doing this weekend - well three days actually.  It is another Tracy Evans one and she has kindly told us what we can get ready for it so we don't have to fussy cut on the day if we don't want to.  She will allow cutting time during the classes but for someone like me who manages about ten minutes and has to give up on account of my back pain it is great when you can get things more or less ready.  That way I can play catch up throughout the remainder of the day.  So next week I will have another book to show you.

Right, hope to see you over at Julia's desk later on.  Toodle Pip!

Health Update:

Have had a bad few weeks with my back but the good news is that I secured an appointment with my Chiropractor this morning so I won't know if my video has worked or not until I get back home.  

ps well the video works but gosh don't I sound out of breath and obviously unrehearsed.  Ah well, the ravages of time!

Don’t knock yourself, I’m impressed that you made the video in the first place!! The book is wonderful, I enjoyed seeing it, the video made it come to life than just stills. Sorry to hear about your back, fingers crossed that the chiropractor will be able to alleviate some of the pain. Looking forward to seeing you on the Zoom Crop next week!

Good news about the chiropractor, hope the day sees an improvement after your visit! I didn’t hint that you sounded out of breath in your video at all. I shall be referring to it several times I suspect...colouring ideas, background ideas and to double check which figures I haven’t got! Totally love the book, the figures are relatively new to me but that hasn’t stopped me! Great that you can get some of the cutting prep done for a Tracy’s workshop. She is incredibly flexible isn’t she; another weekend to look forward to!

Annie said...

Hi Neet, I love your video. The books is really gorgeous and it's so lovely to hear your voice. Really hope your back improves after your treatment.
Hugs,

That's a gorgeous little book, I shall pop back and watch the video when I've got a few more visits under my belt! I'm so glad you managed to get a Chiropractor appointment, I hope it went well and helps you.
I hope you enjoy your workshop this weekend,
Hugs, Diana xx #21

What a delightful little book Neet and the video worked perfectly! Hope you had a good session with the chiropractor and your backache has eased. It's good that you were able to prep for the upcoming workshop so you can just pull out those precuts from your magic hat! Will be lovely to see what you turn them into! Have a lovely, pain-free week! xx zsuzsa #29

Mary Anne said...

Ha! Me too! I managed to embed a video and it worked and I was stupidly happy about it! All out of proportion for the difficulty of the task LOL! but I had been sure I would screw it up.

Commenting first then off to watch and absorb. I an tell from the little photo it is going to be fab....

Love the other cut images as well, Sounds like a nice class.And hope your back holds up after your appointment!

Happy WOYWW!

The video worked perfectly for me Neet what a grand book that is, I love the couple in the red car, i'm biased having a red car myself. Oh to be young again wearing just underwear and a crown haa haaa!! Love it!!
Well done on getting it all recorded and loaded and good news about the appointment, I hope it helps ease some of that dreadful pain for you.
Take care & enjoy your weekend Hugs Tracey #12 xx

Hope you are feeling the benefit of that visit to your chiropractor Neet. It's so good that you can keep crafting - you seem to be having fun! xx Jo

nwilliams6 said...

I so loved hearing your voice (love your accent). Such a well done book with the cutest figures and such great accessories for them all. Great colors too. Super well done video - so glad I stopped by to watch it!!!!

Crafting With Jack said...

Great little book. Yes it helps getting everything ready first. It is my hands that suffer when cutting out. Enjoy your workshop. A belated happy WOYWW Angela #25

Neet, your little book is an absolute delight! I've left a comment on your YouTube. I love the pastel shades and those gorgeous subtle backgrounds that you've created, and the adorable little figures and the sentiments. You've done a stunning piece of work here! I've saved the video so I can watch it again. It was lovely to hear your voice, too, and I don't think you sounded out of breath or under-rehearsed at all - it was just lovely and natural and friendly. It's a smashing video!

I'm so glad you were able to get a chiropractor's appointment and I hope you will soon be feeling the benefits of it. I know you've been suffering a lot with your back over the past few months.

Thank you for visiting and for your lovely comment - you are very kind about my little needle book! Everyone has said such lovely things and I just wish everybody could win it and I'm feeling quite bad about having to disappoint so many people now!!

Our new furniture duly arrived at about 9.45 a.m. yesterday and we are now firmly established in comfort - all four of us lol! It didn't take the kitties long to take it over! It is super-comfortable and I'm looking forward to getting the throws made to jazz it up a bit and make it our own. I think the Persian Tiles colour scheme that I found will be ideal in our room which has those colours in it. I have already started crocheting squares for my hubby's one.

What with all the recent activity, and having to get up at crack of dawn 2 days running to see to the collection of the old furniture and the arrival of the new, today I am feeling utterly shattered and have had to rest all day! Nice to have a comfy recliner to do it on, though. I've just crocheted and watched TV (Masterchef Professionals mostly - catching up!) and I still haven't made my oatcakes... Been planning to make more for the past several days. Fortunately I keep the freezer filled with bulk-cooked meals so I don't absolutely have to cook every day.

So glad you enjoyed the kitty pictures! They haven't shown any further interest in the new/old box - probably too busy taking over the new furniture.

Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #9

Oh that book is super Neet. Aren't those Janet Klein little figures so adorable and fun? And I enjoyed your video and hearing your voice. One thing about blogging is you never usually get to hear a person speak. And our voices are so much a part of us, aren't they? I hope you had a nice Thursday. Hugs-Erika

Your book is awesome! I do love Vera Lane images but I have always been afraid to try and create with them. Your little book gives the images an amazing presentation!

Absolutely wonderful Neet! These Janet Klein figures really are great aren't they? Meant to post today for WOYWW but totally forgot - blowing up the toaster at breakfast didn't help! Hugs, Chrisx

I think I was without keyboard when I looked at this because I can't find a comment. I love it! Beautiful. What I love most is the fact that they're all doing something - not like my boring pages. You have a nice variety of images, too - more boys than I have. I just got the ones I ordered, but I really want the pilot after seeing this! Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the colours and everything about this.
Thanks for showing the video.

PS Glad you got your appointments for a little while at least and hope it does you some good!
