Hi Workdesk friends. Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk.
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".
If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.
So here is my desk for today!
Well yesterday actually as things have been a bit busy here so I took this pic early just in case.
My mum had a little fall earlier this week so I've been doing my crafty stuff in between visits.
She is okay and actually this happened because she's feeling better and thought she could do more than she was ready for.
Anyway, Christmas cards started with some more of my postage stamp Masterboards.
The tube box has had to sit and wait for a while but I will get back to it.
The pebble has had a little more added to it and is nearly ready to be varnished.
These are a few of the edge dies I've used on my cards and some Stickles Glitter Glues towards the back.
And finally some lovely old stamps by Stampotique and Magenta.
Some of you were having problem reading the font so I've enlarged it, hope that's better.
So that's me done for today.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.
I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.
Have a great woyww
and
happy crafting,
happy crafting,
Angela x

Amazing to see such a busily productive desk given you've been fitting in visits to take care of your mum. Glad to hear she's doing better generally, but that's the opposite of a silver lining if it means she's fallen because she's getting stronger! Happy you're able to step in and be there to support her. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery. Congrats on getting the C-cards started.

Truly you put me to shame as you have achieved so much even with caring for your mother. Love those stamps especially the ones that just don't date. Have a creative week.

Sorry to hear about your mum falling but it's good to hear she's feeling like challenging herself more. It's not easy to know you've done too much....until you've done it and it's too late then. Sending you big hugs for all the love and support you are giving her.

Aww so sorry that your mum had a fall but glad she is feeling better . Hope you find some time to rest . Those magenta stamps bring back memories- i used to adore Magenta but they did take up a lot of room - I think I donated them a while ago. Have a good week xxx Soojay #17
Hi Angela. Glad your mum is feeling better and settling back home - but sorry she got a bit too enthusiastic! Hope she recovers quickly from her fall. Great Christmas cards - i took a sneaky peek down the page - and lovely stamps. I do like wooden backed stamps. Somehow they seem more durable than some of the thin acrylic ones.
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

Gosh you have been busy glad to see someone else is thinking of Christmas. Sorry to hear about your mums fall, they are all the same think they can do everything. Have a good week. Ani
We none of us want to admit that we're getting older...your poor mum, she's had such a lot to deal with recently, I hope she's not too badly hurt. You've got a lovely selection on show today, wooden stamps are so tactile!

Hi Angela, I was just thinking how lovely & clear your font type was!Great job with the Christmas cards, love the masterboard.Stay Safe, Have a lovely week,Hugs, Shaz #5 X
Sending hugs to you and your Mum and glad she is feeling better.....But sorry about the fall! x.
Looking forward to seeing the tube progressing and I have so loved the Christmas cards from the postage stamp masterboards x.
Great size of font Angela.....What size are you using? x.
So glad to hear your mum has been feeling stronger but sorry that she had a fall - hope she soon recovers. Also glad you are managing to get some crafting in, the stamp masterboards are fabulous and I love the old stamps - I miss having mine on wooden blocks but I didn't have the luxury of storage space so really had no choice.
Hope you have a good week,

Your poor mum! Hope she's on the mend. I'm intrigued by the postage stamp masterboard - we'll have to pop back to find out what you're doing with it. Happy WOYWW Angela! Enjoy your week! xx zsuzsa #24
Glad to hear mum is ok, just needing a bit extra help. You still seem to have achieved quite a bit this week! Don't go rushing about too much in this heat. Stay safe, stay well, happy woyww Cindy #11
Hope your Mum is ok and didn't hurt herself... love those wooden stamps - I have some Magenta that I used to adore and need to use again (sometimes dig them out at Christmas) Have a good week. Helen #2
Hi Angela, you always have different things on the go! Sorry to hear about your mother, hope she has a quick recovery Happy WOYWW Angela #33
So sorry to hear about your mum having a fall, I hope she is alright. My cousin Ken was 90 on Monday and when I rang him Friday (to avoid the rush of phone calls as I thought) he said he was fine. Then his grand daughter told me he had had another fall but he was too proud to let me know. Guess this is what happens as we get older. (I rang Friday thinking everyone would ring on Monday only to realise afterwards that there were not that many friend left now to be ringing him - doh - so I rang him again but didn't say I knew about the fall).
The Christmas cards are looking good and you are putting me to shame. I have done one!
Looking forward to seeing your pebble car when it is varnished. Talking of Stickles - I had got to the very bottom of three bottles and was desperate to use some on the wings of some bees I was making into cards. So desperate that I cut the top off and poked about with a cocktail stick trying to get the last bits out. I spent ages doing them and gave up when i could get no more. A few days later I noticed in the cubby hole above where the Stickles are kept were two NEW bottles! Think I should have gone to Specsavers? I did! Maybe I should try somewhere else.
~Hugs, Neet 8 xx
Hope your mom recovers completely and soon!
Beautiful wood stamps! I still have a bunch but mostly by Stampscapes.
Have a great week!

HI Angela, its good to hear your mom is feeling well enough to be up and about hopefully the steady on her feet kicks in soon. The new font size is really good. :) Looks like really useful stamps to me too. ~Stacy #32
Lots to see today!
I used to have one of those stamps...
Was wondering what font and size you are using - I am having trouble finding something appropriate in the new blogger.
Stay safe, keep well.
Happy Crafting

Christmas on the hottest day of the year, not sure I can cope LOL. Although I will be doing December scrapping soon - Oh Man!!
Thanks for the visit BJ#15
Hi Angela, sorry for the late visit. I hope your mum is ok, and wasnt too badly hurt or shaken by the fall. I really do like the stamp masterboard - I think I'll save up some postage stamps and do something similar, maybe for male birthday cards. Thanks for visiting earlier. I am really undecided about a trolley, as it won't fit under my desk, and I need to be able to pack it away when the grandchildren sleepover. Decisions, decisions. Have a lovely week and stay safe and well, Heather xx #4
Loving the look of that busy creative desk Angela and Christmas cards?! I am in awe that you are organized enough to think of getting a start on them! Sorry to hear of your Mom's fall, hope she is up and around very soon. Deb xo
Sorry to hear that your mum had a fall, Angela, but I'm glad no harm was done. It's all too easy for them to think they are OK when they aren't! We had the same problem with my mum. It's a worry when it happens, though. Your desk looks lovely and busy as usual, with great projects.
Thank you for your visit. I'm more or less satisfied with the cardigan now, and time will tell if it settles down OK after washing, but first I've got to find some buttons! Also glad you like our fire - we wish we'd done this in the first place. My hubby has now put a black panel behind it which looks OK and covers the hole.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #26
Thank you so much for changing the font Angela, so much easier to read this week. Glad your mum has no long term ill effects from her fall. I can't think about Christmas yet but admire people who get a head start. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
Thanks for enlarging the fonts on your blog, it's indeed much better readable this way! Sorry to hear your mum fell, but I just read your Friday post and I'm glad she's doing better now. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier this week, sorry I'm late with my visit back to your blog but finally time fell into place with my mind, yay! Have a great weekend, hug from Holland. Marit #28
Actually Angela, until you mentioned it I couldn’t work out what was different, but the enlarged font is great - I didn’t have to enlarge the page in sections! Glad you’re Mum is doing well, honestly, you must be shattered from all the sorting and visiting you’re doing! I love that you’ve got some old classic stamps out to use - cant beat ‘em!
Hi Angela! poor Mom! Hopefully she can better judge how ready she is after this little setback. I haven't even thought about Christmas Cards, I suppose I should though. I recognize the Magenta stamp! Thanks for your visit and your kind words re my journal! Have a great week, Lindart #29
Always so fascinating to see what you have on the go, Angela - loving your postage stamp projects - Christmas cards (who'd a thunk it? :D ).
Your poor mum, hope she takes it steady and gets back to her normal self soon. I empathise how family matters can take the umph out of crafting. Hoping that looking at blogs will get me going later this afternoon xx
Sorry to hear that your mum had a fall. I hope she didn't hurt herself too much and makes a swift recovery. Love the look of the completed Christmas card. Sorry I am so late visiting. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xx (#9)
