Welcome, I am loving that it is Wednesday 1/2 way through a miserable week. Five inches of heavy wet snow Sunday, now melting to make a mess outside. Drifts with the high winds. It was sunny to day but 30 degrees. With this confinement I loved to be able to go out, see some green grass, walk on a sunny day and have the windows open. Maybe next week.
It's share our desk day, hostess Julia HERE has information about the process. I do apologize for only visiting about half. I was/still having eye issues. Even my cheaters don't help. I noticed a week ago some blogs I can hardly read as print seems so light colored. Just got new glasses but not helping.
My desk: well I took over our bar, (we don't use it anymore unless the grand kids come to play games) cleaned it out, using shelves for journaling materials/storage.
The top is for Collage work, making master boards, some days using Rolodex cards, other days some exchanges.
Here are the 3x3 cards I made from a 12x12 master board for an exchange. I will keep 8 and mail 8. It was a really fun project. Similar to ATC's but larger
But here is the area I am creating on:
A few of the items I use, glue, washi tape, rubber stamps, I was lucky to win a bid for a bigger Rolodex these cards are 3x5 where mine was small 2x3 but no doubt will use both.
A few of the collage supplies to work with scrap papers sorted by size, stamps, distress ink, It was a fun project and I will try to make 4 or 5 Rolodex's cards a week. I do think I will work on the inside of the small journals the next few days. In my last post I had made the covers. I am thankful for enjoying my crafty space, not much else to do besides meal prep, dusting, laundry and sorting photos. None of which are my favorite.
Thank you for your visits last week, please Stay Safe and may you and yours find happiness and laughter in the simple things.
A "BIG" Thank You to all my fellow Bloggers, You are the best. Your wishes, the sharing of your arts and crafts, your fun comments, during this time have meant a lot. Sending a BIG HUG to ALL.
May you and yours enjoy a wonderful Easter and May all be Blessed by having things return to normal.
Welcome, It's hard to believe how fast this week has gone. WOW, we were blessed with 70 degree temps Tuesday. I went in town to walk. Was so enjoyable. My DH just had rock delivered for our long driveway and front round about so no way was I trying to walk on that.
Today we share our workspaces, link up with Mr. Linky on our hostess blog HERE at the Stamping Ground and then we visit each other.
My desk: Sewing some journals together, then I will decorate
Four in various sizes.
Then I started a master board to make 12 3x3 squares to cut apart and partake in an exchange with 6 of them. No doubt won't mail any of this until our world is back to normal.
I doubt that school will resume. More things have closed and some areas are slowing down with the virus. Here groups of people think it is ok to do what ever they want gathering.. SO Ridiculous. I am concerned about June praying we can all be together the 22nd for Mother's funeral. So far so many funerals are on hold, and only 10 can attend, that includes the priest and a funeral director. EVEN at the Cemetery. We have family coming from both coasts and it this is not changed we won't even be able to have our luncheon, or have any family gatherings.
I wanted to share one photo for Annie: She's made the cutest rabbits for her grand children
I made 2 sets of these many years ago and have enjoyed them thru the Easter holiday.
And that reminds me Easter will be on SUNDAY ~ We will stream our mass and be here alone. If weather is nice maybe take a drive to the lake and walk the trail. May you and yours enjoy this special week Hoping you are all well and enjoying all that you can.
