WOYWW #699

Welcome, and for most it's good afternoon !  It's 6.30 AM here and I just can't get energized. Hubby is still sleeping, very unusual, but he was wore out last night. Lots of field hours trying to get chemicals on his fields and then he'll be done before the weather changes.

My desk:

The 3 stamp sets were a steal at the Thrift shop Price $22.00 Sold at $5.00 Tim Holtz and Dyan Reaveley.  Noticing much higher prices now than even the $22...my retired budget doesn't go that far.  

I also got several almost no use, Graphic Design paper pads, will share next week. 

 My desk for 3 wks or so has had those tiny pink papers, and the graph paper accordion style, I 've wanted to my TINY journals out of, but time and theme presented an issue.  So they wait!  The large sheet is a collage of  a Beverage theme, for one of the groups I partake in. I am not a Whiskey fan, but that Coffee Whiskey Brew sounds really good.  

I washed sheets and they are hard for me to fold with this shoulder so was waiting for help at lunch time. But Bailey decided they were still warm and he was taking advantage of that.  It's been COLD here nights 30's and daytime 40's.

I shared this on FB the really warm day we had 70's and I took a walk. Our cattle enjoying Sunshine and new fields to explore since corn is removed.

Julia has her weekly WOYWW post HERE as it's the day we share our desks.  

Have a great week, thanks for all the good comments.

Welcome, so glad you stopped by, it's the day of sharing the workspaces

Ms. Julia HERE has all the info if you need to play along or visit others all over the world sometimes.

Busy week, hubby finished his harvest.~! Will now work ground, chopping stocks and making the fields back to black dirt for spring next year. 

Our weather temps were so cold, that records were broken, Have made good use of the oven, to keep temps in our home a little warmer. A chocolate cake, baked squash for the frezzer, bean soup, beef noodle soup, and some blue berry/zucchini pancakes for the freezer. 

I really tidied up my 2 desks, made a few Rolodex cards and  one Playing card for this weeks fun. Bright colors, animal, washi tape, sentiment.

Our little squirrels are really busy with walnuts. The ground is FULL of them.  

Renovated bar for Rolodex fun, different sizes and 1 each day Next week will be into Halloween fun.

these 2,  6 ft tables are next to each other, gives me a large space to spread out.  

Want to start Collage Glue book, funny thing I can do well on small area, but to do collage on large doesn't work so well. ?? So a challenge to change that. 

After measuring and remeasuring the curtain fabric is not enough, so on to plan ???2  Turned on the furnace...19 tonight's temps and oven heat is gone.

Have a wonderful week, thanks for your visits and comments last week

Stay safe and continued prayers for Ukraine, it's something that really upsets me.

Good Morning, and it is morning here 3:15, a m   great way to start the day, it is RAINING. Nice quiet rain fall and I am hoping it continues most of the day. Maybe the burn ban can be lifted. 

It's the day we share our workspace and HERE is where our hostess Ms Julia will welcome you.

Hubby is sound asleep, but will be up early to haul 2 wagon loads of corn to the elevator and continue his corn picking near town about 1/2 of 300 acres completed. 

I took a quick photo of the Bar I have been working at. We no longer use what use to be a family room downstairs, so it stores and I make all of my ATC's and 'tiny art' here.

I try to make 1 to 3 cards a day then I can post daily and have 2 days to kind of keep up with "life"  and now that the garden is done, I can start with the curtains.  (I usually share the ATC's on FB/Instagram) and The Collage Art Collective sight HERE  If you are into COLLAGE work, Margarete Miller is administrator and has lots of beautiful daily posts by many. Check it out  

Hope all is well your way, thanks to all who were able to visit and leave comments. With the rain we might get to go the City !!!  Have a wonderful week

Happy Wednesday,  the day we try to show our workspace. All info will be

HERE  Posting Tuesday night, as I don't know where I'll be in the early morning.  

Missed last week, just too much going on here at the farm. Hubby just finished up his bean fields, Had a set back   " a field fire".  Fortunately he had a fire extinguisher to save his equipment/ but with the wind he dialed 911 and volunteer firemen were here to put out the burning bean field. About 3 to 4  acres lost  One guy borrowed the neighbors tractor and digger and made a black dirt track near fence and around the fire (to prevent the spread)  or it would be in our yard or in the corn field. 

Angels were helping. We were so thankful for the Volunteer EMS/Firefighters our little town provides. No photos, too quick to react

He found the issue with the start of the fire yesterday/the combine needed new bearings, when they went bad and with stocks moving thru it ignited. 

My workspace is over stacked: I only have about a 6 inch free space to use

The other three table have things I can't show as yet.  So been working on Rolodex cards and a tiny book. Will do a video when things calm down 

  These were made for "the Collage Art Collective" group which I follow

I stopped at a thrift store, while running errands and found these "OLD" books.  Just love them

You all have a great week, Rain is forecast with 30 degree temps so will have to cover flowers/tomatoes/squash and WELCOME the rain. Northern Iowa has a burn ban in effect, so very dry. And farmers need a break, it's the only thing that stops them. HAPPY FALL.  Dark here at 7pm way to early for that change.
