WOYWW #591

Welcome, it's already Wednesday, the day we share our workspace.  Ms Julia has all the info on her blog HERE  You can play along, visit others thru Mr. Linky,  and share what's been keeping you busy.  It was a really busy week, last week with him working on the bean crop. But thankful as the weather was perfect, 70's and no wind.  

My desk:


Yesterday I making a few faux postage stamps, but got interrupted.   

Time to move equipment to another field south of town...3 trips to move 
Truck and big wagon, tractor and 2 big wagons, and the combine...he's taking a crop of soy beans from the fields.  Should be done and begin corn in a day or two.  Has had 2 breakdowns Saturday evening a huge belt broke, had to wait until Sunday to pick it up at the store. and have a friend come to help install it. Then Tuesday a huge tire on the combine above started to bulge. Good he spotted it as traveling down roads with a heavy load is very dangerous.  So a tire company came to replace it . Need less to say it is very spendy.  

I   picked up some unusual leaves while going for a walk,  most are drying in a book 



Placed this one in a cellophane holder with a backing of tea dyed paper and an unusual twig,  the little narrow strip has a purple weed. Plan to put it in a journal as a page 

Just below is a post on 2 fall birthday cards I made.   And the post below that is a big more detailed journal I made for my sister  similar to the one I shared for a cousin.   Thanks for all the kind comments last week on that journal.  

Stay Safe and  Happy WOYWW

Big machinery is good but requires big fixes when things go wrong I guess. Hope all the work went ok afterwards. That leaf is lovely, it's going to look great when all dried out properly. You don't see many crafts with dried flowers these days.

Hi Sylvia, the jobs look as though they've been delayed a bit but hopefully you'll be able to get on and complete it now and that's the fields and your desk. Wishing you a happy week and a very creative woyww, Angela x12x

That's a huge area to deal with Sylvia, hope you /hubby get on top of the crops & there is no more breakages or tools misbehaving, what a busy life it must be. Lovely little faux postage stamps, I do love creating them they look super on anything they greet. Wishing you well & hope you find some creative time to carry on playing. Happy WoywW Tracey #7

Your little faux stamps are lovely - I might have a go at that. Also the idea of using a few pressed leaves too - I haven't done that for ages but there will be lovely ones around just now as the Autumn colours appear. xx Jo

Hey Sylvia. Wow that's a lot of machinery. Oh my goodness! Those handmade stamps! I see some Tim holtz dies. If you have any other product suggestions for making some of my own, please let me know, I will be trying this.
