WOYWW 556

Wednesday again and apologies for missing some of you last week, promise not to miss you this week (unless something happens like the computer goes kaput!).  I will be on the computer shortly to visit Julia, our head desker and then all the other WOYWW'ers here.

Still waiting for my stamps for my fairies/backgrounds but decided to do some more work in my mini Moleskin Journal for a change.  So I set to with my Distress Ink Pads and my inking tools and got several pages done for backgrounds for the future.  Have now only got three pages to fill with figures but had to come to a full stop as I have no images for them.  I have now filled the book with the few Stampotique images I have plus a few Octopode ones and finally all my Zinni's including the ones I bought in the sale (thanks Helen and Shaz).  I still have to do some doodling on the pages so will show you just a couple for now and unfold them bit by bit when I have nothing else to show.  

This little journal is really bulky now so I must apologise for the dark shadow (centre) on the picture above - the first one must have been in a better place in the book so it scanned better.

Especially for Julia and LLJ I am showing you something I bought last Wednesday evening, too late to show last week so it has been saved for today's posting.  A friend alerted me to this whilst we were messaging on the phone and following a lot of research into the various gin/teapots I could buy I settled on Asda's - because I liked the set and because the price was right.  If you check some of the teapot and teacup sets they are up in the £20-30 range and above.  This cost me £9 for the teapot, £3 for the milk jug (for tonic or whatever) and £4 for the sugar bowl (what???? - for the lemon/lime slices of course).

Now what do you think about that?  I can just see me sitting with Sue on the patio sipping our G&T's this coming summer.  Roll on sunshine!

Ooh hecky pecky, it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and although I took things away with me to make some "C" cards I did zilch!  This is my desk as I returned and emptied my bag onto my workdesk - and as you can see I have done nothing since.  It was so cold in the house on Monday evening and Tuesday I had two clinic appointments - one in the morning and one in the afternoon so the day just went by with nothing done.  I really need to make a start but I have my 'rehab' this afternoon (the name they gave to those pain management classes suddenly) so doubt there will be much done again.

I had taken cardstock, dies, stamps, baby wipes, Promarkers and a diecut machine with me (machine is on other side of desk) and here they are - with a Christmas magazine, TV programme mag, my B&W journal and my regular journal plus a piece of paper just as I dumped them on Monday evening.  I am so sleepy!  And I don't seem to be able to get warm!  The weather has certainly changed.

Well, thought I would show you a couple of pages in my tiny fat journal (my Moleskin) from the week before last as I rarely show you anything, because I frarely do anything, and I did do a bit of sticking in with a couple of my Stampotique figures and one of my cheap TH copy stamps (naughty of me I know).

These two little boys (are they both boys?) are obviously off to a party.  Now I need to come up with some words to finish the page off and then maybe put a little pen work on.

I did a little bit of white pen work on this page but you can hardly see it.  Those white pens again! The diamonds started off with a dot inside them and then because it hardly showed I did an outline of them with black pen - much better - well you can see it.  Not sure what this figure is but I presume, by the words, he is doing some magic.

Wonder if anyone else on WOYWW has these stamps?  Maybe I should pop over and see what everyone is doing this week.

Health Update:

Nothing to report really.  I do believe the chiropractor is working her wonders on me, she got really deep last week and on Monday I had no pain until turned 1 pm when I was on my way home.  I actually managed to do one or two little jobs before then too.

This afternoon I will be going to Rehab again, didn't go last week because I had a tummy upset which I put down to the Meckle's but I have tried to keep up with some exercises although not as much as I had hoped.  Wonder what I missed?  (I did ring and tell them I wouldn't be there and asked if they could let me know what I had missed so I could maybe download the information and catch up - nadda - nothing!)

Tomorrow I get the results of my blood test - am sure it will be positive or else she would have rung me and there have been no messages.  Fingers crossed there is no transfusion on the horizon.  Perhaps this is why I am so tired?

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday is what is going on here today.  I am baring my desk for all to see - dare you to bare yours.  Where, you ask?  Why, here, at the desk of our founder Ms Julia is where you can start.

As for me, again a fairly bare desk but there has been activity, just not at the moment.  Not to fear I do intend to show you one or two bits of what I have been up to, just not necessarily at this desk.  Although if you look closely you can see a spot of paint left on my glass mat and an old credit type card (known as a 'splodger') plus some bits and bobs of things to make marks on pages for backgrounds.

The two little figures waiting to be cut out are from my friend, Lorraine, who sent me quite a few to keep me going last week.

These are some pages from my small Moleskine done earlier.  Now you either like or you don't like the figures that are made by Stampotique.  They are expensive, wood mounted stamps and appeal to some but not all.  I must say I do like them but then I like things a bit 'out of the ordinary'.  Here's a small selection:

Weird or what?

Thanks for all the lovely comments re my health last week.  Had my oscopies done - the colonoscopy was so painful I never want one again.  Well, maybe I'd have a 3D one (even though it is done privately and therefore is quite costly).  Still waiting for the results which could be 3-5 weeks yet.  Same with the CT scan and now am waiting fingers crossed, to see if the consultant will agree to my having a spinal x-ray.  

Right, that is it for another week - maybe more pages next Wednesday from my Moleskine or perhaps something new.  I am off now to see what everyone is showing on their desks.
