WOYWW #317

 Welcome....here it is Wednesday already and time to share our workspaces.  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND  provides us with the little widget that we can do this with.  Making connections all around the world and what fun it has been.

My desk: click the photo for larger image and see the nitty gritty !!
bits and pieces...finished up my ATC's for July and will post photos in a couple of weeks. Our June ones are on the way to us by US mail. They were made with Tim Holtz products and I must not know how to use the stamping distress block...this is the 2nd one and I cannot get the cotton pad to stick as the bottom always losses it's powers?????  The little doll hangers and wire flower frog were unpacked a few days ago from a visit to my favorite little shop nearby.

I have been painting some wood items in the garage and regret not taking before and after photos.
Maybe can do the after for next week posts. I have other things I need to paint but could not open the doors to continue.
For those of you who haven't heard, Iowa and many other States  are being plagged with smoke from the fires in Canada. It is making our sun red. Canada's Wildfires  and causes many of us to cough if outside too long. Another day and it should clear up.  So many have lost their homes and belongings.

Wishing you all a wonderful WOYWW day and for those of us celebrating the 4th of July on Saturday  
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain.


  1. stay safe, enjoy the picnics, family gatherings, ball games, bike rides, parades and great fireworks. A day of RED, WHITE and BLUE.

Those little wire hangers look interesting. Wonder what you will do with them? Happy WOYWW :) Shel@PaperOcotilloStudio #5

My friend's husband made me one of those stamper things, but it was mostly made to create AIs. I don't own any distress inks, except in reinker form, so can't tell you how to fix yours. Mine has velcro on it, and the felt (I buy felt at JoAnns by the yard) stays perfectly.

Hadn't heard about the fires, but I've not been on the internet for awhile. Happy WOYWW from #3.

Look at you at No 1!! Loved seeing all the stuff on your desk...I'd have liked to see the wired doggy in close up though :-)
Happy 4th July for Saturday, have fun!!
Hugs, LLJ 7 xx

I cant work out how to keep those pads on either apart from gluing them on lol. So my favourite dauber is the finger dauber

Hi Sylvia, I have the same problem with the little blending blocks and just got some very sticky glue and stuck it back on. It's better if you have a few so that you don't have to keep taking the pads on and off as the Velcro is quite strong and wont let go. Love your little lady at the top left, she's a sweetie. Hope the smoke goes soon, it's quite scary I should think.
Happy woyww, Angela x 27

Your inkpads are so well organised. I wish mine were. I had the same problem with the pads falling off. I now use the new round ones and the Velcro has a
staple to hold it on. Happy July 4. xx

Good morning girl. As always I'm happy to get to have a look around your digs on Wednesday! I'm not playing this week because of other things going on. Have a great Wednesday!

I hope that your smoke problems are cleared upvery soon. My western Canadian neighbours won't be having a happy Canada Day! Your desk is so tidy and organized -- gorgeous! I gave up on the Holtz blenders and made my own. They work very well and were inexpensive to make. Have a happy Independence day! Nann4 # 38

Wow! You were early! (And beat Bridget!)
Lovely to see your desk and the stuff on it.
Gosh, I didn't know about the bush fires in Canada. Oh dear, we lead such a reclusive life not having a television. Sometimes it's an advantage and sometimes not....
Enjoy yourselves on Independence day,

Love those little hangers! Can't wait to see what you do with them! I haven't heard about those fires either, how terrible! I hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July!

Ohhh Snap said...

Lovely goodies you have there! I hope they get the fires out soon. If the bottom of the blender is clogged with fibers, you might be able to comb them out with a stick pin or piece of wire. If it's just plain worn out, you can probably replace the velcro on the bottom with some from JoAnns. Just a suggestion, worth what you paid for it lol. : D #12

I hope you'll share some photos of your painting projects, Sylvia. I always enjoyed seeing your projects!

Your desk always looks so orderly - I wish mine was. It's awful to hear of the destruction by wild fire - hope it soon improves. x Jo

I've had issues with unstuck pads but never for the Distress ink - Versamark is my worst. I JUST threw one in the bin (well, pitched it with some violence, not a gentle toss!) Monday cause it was doing my head in. A plot to get us to buy even MORE DI? possibly..... :)

Happy (late) WOYWW! again.....

Hi Sylvia, your desk looks busy but tidy and those little hangers are super cute. I hope the pollution from the fires has become less of a problem and that you've had a great 4th of July today. Elizabeth x #43
