Happy Wednesday. 'cos it's WOYWW day and we all meet up again to have a nosey at one another's desks.
I must first of all apologise as I have not had chance to do the video of my calendar. It's finished actually but because I went to the Clockwork Carnival event at Lavinia's on Sunday I've not had time to do the video. I spent so much money that it took me most of Monday to catalogue them. Dare I show you my desk?
This was it on Sunday evening when I got home and just literally dumped my bags, tipping them out on my desk
and later - like Monday
Yes, it looks staged
and it is ... but it's not! The stamps and things have all been sorted into categories and the only staged bit is my hat. I had to show it to you. We were invited to dress up in Steampunk or Fantasy Gear. Well, I had this hat I made a few years ago for something else and the necklace and bracelet too. I knew I had a jacket somewhere (bought years and years ago when "Military" was in fashion - so you can tell how long I have had it) and a blouse that I had worn previously. Well, couldn't find the blouse but the jacket still just about fit, sadly my trousers would not do, so I dug out my long(ish) black skirt that I wear for funerals and I was ready.
This is me with Jo Rice
My friend, Jayne, wanted a photo of the two of us together. My hat is too big and now my hair is short it was sitting on the tops of my ears. Jo was sensible and she had put a wig on to keep it up a bit for her. isn't her costume fantastic!
So that was it. My desk remains like that as I was at the chiropractor yesterday and so it was an afternoon of rest so that I didn't undo all the work she had put into my neck and back. So you see, I am not cheating showing you a desk from a couple of days ago. I just need to get all the stamps put away now and get on with some stamping as we saw some fabulous demo's and lots of ideas of how to use the new Clockwork Collection. No, I didn't buy them all, but now I just wish I had bought the goggles. There's always one you don't get that you find you want.
See you all next week and hopefully will have the video done and uploaded. Toodle Pip!
ps been a bit teary today as I found out my friend went into a dementia home at weekend so I won't be able to go for a few weeks as I don't want to unsettle her. I worry that with the break away she might not know me next time. I do miss her. What a horrible disease it is.
