WOYWW - 743 - What's On Your workdesk Wednesday.

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"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!

At least that's how it was when I left it.

I felt that I had teased you a bit with the new moulds so thought I had better do something with them so I've made this little shelving unit and I will decorate it with the moulded bottles and lightbulbs.

You can see the shelves and storage boxes behind it.

You may remember these and I've made some more too.

I normally use resin in these but today I've used a modelling clay.

Just waiting for these to dry off a bit. You can take these out straight away but I find they stay flatter if left in the mould.

The rolling pin is one normally used for cake icing and the like but it's also very useful for crafting too.

This is the view through the door of the cabin looking back at the house. You can just see the greenhouse and the roof of our house. Like many Lincoln houses it has a very large garden.

So that's me done for today.

As I will be travelling today I will do my best to link up with everyone but not sure when I will get round to see you all but I will do my best.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now but will be back later.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

I couldn't resist getting the clouds out again.

Very similar to the one I showed you last week but I wanted to see how it would look with a different coloured background layer.

If you didn't see the one last week you can find it here: then you can decide which one you prefer.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

I've been busy but don't have many photos.

My mum is getting better thank goodness and the chest infection seems to be almost clear, not bad going at 95.

More gardening and the waterbutts are drying up again so anyone who thinks we've not had some good weather (dry and warm) must live in a different part of the country.

The following photographs were taken before Daisy went to the groomers.

Of course my two are always around to keep us busy and this was Daisy the other day having a snooze but always has one eye open at the ready in case something starts to happen that she might want to join in with.

Of course there are other positions she likes.

And yes she's still not completely asleep, still at the ready.

And despite the fact she is a girl she doesn't mind getting dirty and to prove this I caught her digging the lawn up agasin!

This is Alfred examining the ornaments on the fireplace he appears to quite like the flowers.

They have been for a haircut this week and I'll try and photograph them for next week as they are looking very smart at the moment.

We did see this group in the park the other day. I photographed them from a distance as not everyone likes having the photo taken but what do you think they were doing?

I'll give you the answer next week but please leave your thoughts about this and we'll see who gets it right.

And so to the funnies.........

So that's where they learn their bad habbits Lol!

They are always so helpful!

And they soon learn how to make you think you're in charge Lol!

I will post next week but not sure where I will be on Friday so I may be late linking in with Annie at 'A Stitch in Time' for 'Friday Smiles'. 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for Friday Smiles.
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

WOYWW - 742 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"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!

You people seem to arrive when I'm in between projects at the moment. 

I'm still working on the project for the craft club and as it's Saturday when I will be doing it I thought I'd better get back to it and make some samples.

I have some Craft O'Clock papers that have been sitting around for a while so thought I'd use those.

I might use the tag die too but we'll see.

This is another tag die as I've not made my mind up yet where I'm going with this card. the papers are by Sizzix and just happen to be on my desk, they are new.

If you were here on Monday you would have seen this:

And the details for making it are here:

So that's me done for today.

Just wanted to say that I will be away from home next Wednesday but will do my best to link up and might just be a bit late getting round to see everyone.

 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,

Masterboard Monday.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

Just A4 but I made two and there's plenty there for a few cards.

I had a stencil for this but you could easily cut the cloud design from a piece of plastic or card and use that.

I used a blending tool to apply some pale colours on the card and then used the stencil to apply more colour.

When that was dry I splattered white dots using a Posca pen.

The stamp is Kate Crane's Ballooon dog which I coloured and then added Stickles glitter glue to the eyes and the hearts.

I've added one of the dogs on the inside of the card too, always a nice surprise when you open the card.

Hope you like it and would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

New Koi and he's quite unusual.

And he/she is doing well.

We also cleaned out one of the filters but I forgot to photo it but to be honest it was a dirty job so probably better not to get the camera out!

Been to see my mum but she's not feeling to good at the moment as she's got a chest infection and is finding it hard to get rid of it.

Lots of gardening, trying to get the place tidy as this weather being warm and wet is making everything grow really fast.

In the park as usual walking the dogs we found this guy. Think he's waiting for dinner to arrive.

The weather has been mixed this week and this is Daisy and Alfie drying out after their walk.

This is a difficult one to see but Daisy is using Alfie as a pillow.

His head hasn't actually fallen off.

They are both going for a haircut tomorrow so they will be like new dogs the next time you see them.

This little chap had settled on the edge of the car window. They seem to like our grass at the front of the house.

Anyway we need a few dog funnies next!

It's a shame they can't catch insects but they do try.

It's just as well they can't catch squirrels though!

And finally......

I thought this might be me one day Lol!

And that's your lot. See you next week.

Have a great weekend everyone

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

WOYWW - 741 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"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!

Actually two desks today as I've been spending some time in the cabin trying out these new moulds.

These are by Prima for Finnabair.

Behind those, some clay that I used, Dyan acrylic paint and my rotating tool stand.

Now I'm back indoors working on the cards again.

It doesn't look too busy as I'm still working on a pop up card for the Craft Club.

Nearly sorted the Mechanism. At the side of them is a set of new stamps.

And on the right some new spare domed sponges as you use these quite a lot and the do wear in time.

One last thing is this card that I posted Monday and then I'm off to see what the rest of you have been up to.

Kate Crane's Balloon Dogs again.

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.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

You may remember these from an earlier post here: and they were made on my Gelli plate.

Look closely and you will see that I have used Kate Crane's Balloon dog stamp and stamped it several times on the white card blank and then on another piece of card which I coloured with some Tim Holtz Watercolour pencils and cut them out..

Next I took one of the Gel printed cards and ripped two pieces, trimmed them and attached to the card before adding the dogs. The sentiment is also by Kate Crane.

I so love this little dog and added some matching coloured cord behind the dog to make the main embellishment stand out.

He even found his way inside the card too.

You can see that these little dogs are very excited about the party and can't wait to get there. Luckily they don't need wings as we all know balloons float!

I finished the dogs off with some Stickles Glitter glue on the eyes.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week well most of it was last week actually.

Back to the show at Heckington.

If you missed last weeks visit to the show you can find it here:

Tractors first today but look at those clouds. We were very lucky that it stayed dry until we got home.

Fun for the children too.

And interesting things to buy.

In this tent they were demonstrating Bell Ringing.

I wonder if you recognise this Three Wheeler?

It's a copy of the one from Only Fools and Horses.

If you're not from the UK you may not know about this but it's a comedy programe.

Next I went to see the baking competition.

Beautiful Victoria sponges.

And cheese scones...scrummy.

Great collection of vegetables.

And the childrens' section. 

These are so cute.

And baked goods.

Altered boots.

Sweet drawings.

Later we moved on to look at some vintage cars.

This one was a very old MG.

From there we went into the collectors tent.

These people collect all kinds of things.

They seem very happy but that could be all that glue and paint they use!

This young man had been making these since he was 14.

I loved this, so much gorgeous detail.

And something from my own garden. Really pleased with this as I've never grown Cauliflowers before.

I have to say we have now eaten this one.

Daisy and Alfie enjoyed their day out too and are sending a few funnies to finish off with..

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.
