#747 WOYWW

Good Morning....running late but wanted to post. It's cool here and was great to sleep in.

It's the day we share our desks  All the updates are HERE at Ms. Julia's BLOG

My little cart I keep upstairs   It has all the makings of Reinker/Watercolor flowers/leaves.  On Facebook I follow Make Art with  Wendy Vecchi, she has Tuesday Tips and has some great classes offered .  

Then my desk  starting the process for a journal from cardboard and using black/vintage papers.  

Plus my Daily Inkbox cards 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  It is to get warm here again 80's or so. Hubby is almost finished with corn  and will be doing soy beans all weekend. So it's moving equipment for me I guess.    Thanks for your visits and comments last week. 

ENJOY.....each day is a Treasure.

Hello everyone!  The day we share our desks, you can connect HERE to join in or visit others. 

 It's been awhile, but hubby is using his equipment to pick corn. He had some fields earlier hit by hail, so the insurance man accessed damages and with no rain it's good to process. SO I have time, late meals when he's in for the night.   Previous weeks have been time taken to attend some County Fairs. Enjoy relatives visiting from hot climates in Arizona.  I also have been clearing out the storage area, selling fall decor, and dealing with muscle issues. Almost done dealing with computer issues got a new home computer but haven't been home long enough to back up photos/documents from the old as yet.  I don't do well on comments with my phone.

My crafty space has been limited to doing 3 or 4  3x3 cards at one sitting so I can partake in the weekly challenge.  Hopefully next week I can have time to clear the desks and start enjoying open space for other projects. 

My desk area found the hot pink pen storage on sale at Dollar Tree and will be a handy item for my next weeks plan.  

This is a far away photo actually sharing my floor such a mess. 

Here ia one of the Inkbox cards 

I'll be happy to play catch up  visiting all of your blogs, Enjoy a great week.

Welcome, thanks for stopping by. It's our What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, Our hostess Julia will be happy to add you to the group HERE or you can visit by way of Mr. Linky deskers all about our world. 

I have had creative time....I can go up and down the steps pretty well once again, Right Knee (but lifting even a few heavy books isn't fun, Left Shoulder/Neck muscle issues.  SO I HAVE A BIG MESS  on all my work spots !!! 

 This is why I haven't posted for 2 weeks.  No home computer. I ended up ordering a new Dell hard drive then the monitors I have would not be compatible so had to get a new one. SUCH a WASTE  Had very frustrating times setting up 1 printer out of 3 imagine THREE..I had to also order a new one of those. HP.....words I can't say here..............the one I love ECHO ink is no longer compatible with Windows 10/11....I used it 2 years with 10 and no issue. I'd spent over 9 hrs in 4 days with them on the phone to get PINK ink on all 3 to stop printing. Mailing me defective color cartridges.  AND MONITORING MY EVERY MOVE.  The new one is a piece of junk.  Prints ok but the loading of paper isn't simple. And I change textures of paper many times.

No lack of  connective cords or power strips........................he'll help me get the no longer usables moved out...SUCH A WASTE.

My desk today  Preparing 3x3's for September's daily theme Stamps. (postage/rubber) These can be seen on Instagram or my Facebook page.

Workspace for ink play...I've a tag book to play with at some point. 

I've a few of the August theme Architecture.

Hard to believe August is almost over.  Weather was really an issue here, extreme heat for a week and a storm that damaged his corn and bean fields East of our home.  He has Crop insurance so it will be assessed during harvest time only a few weeks away. 

Wishing you all the best in whatever you are enjoying.  Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome, have tried all day to schedule this post  several interruptions and issues with my new phone.

Last week we were in and out a LOT, Fairs going on in towns all around us and HE loves the Fairs.

Weather was hot, but we got much needed rain and things are somewhat back to normal.

My normal working desk:  Yeah I can go down steps ..... If anyone knows how to use the wooden numbers right in front let me know  Haven't had time to google them,  I think they are a Tim Holtz product..but not sure.  I wanted to rubber stamp them on my daily cards but that isn't working.

A card made ahead of time for this month's daily post on August Architecture. 

And a shot of Seattle's Space Needle.  with a the Super Moon behind it 

It's sharing the desk day at Ms Julia's HERE if you want to visit our little group. Have a wonderful week.

Welcome, it's a bright sunny, hot day here in Iowa on a Tuesday.  Missed last week as Tues/Wed were spent away. Had some xrays of knee/blood work 50 miles away so made trips for eating out/shopping new stores and enjoying the great weather.  And preparing this today as a scheduled post as  I don't know what tomorrow will bring. 

The following 2 are part of our Daily 3x3 Inkbox cards for July's Jungle theme. 

Then my desk, it's downstairs so don't make too many trips there with this knee but once there I try to accomplish creating and organizing once again.. WHAT A MESS.  

A couple new Seth Apter stamps and a pack of various sized labels.  By the Fodder paper work, I've started a Tag Book. Worked ahead on the Jungle cards  and stashed that all in a file  so I can prepare  for Augusts Architecture.   

I did watch all the videos on the Fodder Challenge, 12 days and really enjoyed the process and  fun projects shared. It is still open if you want to take a look  Access to videos etc will end Aug 4th  It's all free.   

https://willa-workshops.teachable.com/    But don' t confuse it with Fodder School Starting Aug 4 $$$

  Hoping to make that Tag Book this week and more of the foddered leaves.  I kind of like working with the Re Inkers instead of watercolors. Might have him bring that group of crafting upstairs it's all in a roll about .  

My son and family are in Portugal ....the photos are so fun and what history in buildings I've seen WOW.  Most of my Wishes to visit in your area and theirs  are no doubt just wishes.  Air flights seem a mess and our passports are expired.  But we'll see .....................................................

AGES 13, 11,  9

                                                           Both Celebrating their birthdays  

thanks for stopping by, Enjoy what's left of July and see you in August  VIA our special Hostess

JULIA @ Stamping Ground       no space to use below so I remain   Sylvia @ LittleTreasures

Welcome, a great day to enjoy the inside fun I guess. It's dark and looks like some rain, which we need...OKay now it's thunder and lightening.  Starting off sharing my past week with our hostess, Julia and all her Mr. Linky friends HERE 

I've been having some double daily fun, I signed up for a free class, it started Monday and will be 12 days of "FREE" Fodder School, with a different lesson and instructor each day. This is the link to sign up 

https://www.willawanders.com/  and you can go back and start with lesson 1, 2 etc.  Videos are available until 8/5/2023.  

A supply list is provided so you can prepare ahead of time, and most days you have what you need right in that STASH.  My 1st class "Watercolor Tropical Leaves"

12 Different Days of Learning for Mixed Media creating. USING UP STASH !!!!

But if you are not into watercolor you can use any way of coloring,  I need a good White Pen as mine didn't give me what I needed.  And I asked and so many volunteered ideas.

I've brought supplies upstairs and limiting my use of steps somewhat. A knee injury from jumping out of my sons jeep..I had ex-rays  and no broken bones etc  so avoiding MRI's , by having a brace, now using a elastic wrap and tape, massage etc and I am improving a lot Its just a slow process. Maybe a torn ligament/tendon.. 

Still partaking in the Daily  July theme Jungle 

Well a nice rainfall and now back to my daily routine.  He brought in zucchini, so will make some pancakes adding blueberries.  Made a very delicious Peach Pie yesterday,  not a pie maker but I LOVE them .....also a few Kohlrabi were found, green beans, and radishes.

He enjoys growing garden veggies.  Nary a weed !!!

Enjoy a great week, thanks for last weeks visits.

Yes, it's really me.....after a 5 week absence I'm here to partake in WOYWW Stamping Ground  weekly sharing of the desks. 

The theme for a daily Inbox card is July Jungle  

My desk is a total daily mess while creating these little cards, but I so enjoy it.

This was #1 for July  I post on Facebook and Instagram daily and with the group involved 

A photo for the end of June, which I did not share with you, as "Life" had priorities, said good bye to 3 classmates, dealing with a knee issue, and working with garden vegetables.   Made Rhubarb jam, froze green beans, asparagus, 4 dozen cookies oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and a dozen blueberry, zucchini  pancakes.    This was last of the Japanese June 

Wishing you all a great July, hoping the high humidity and hot temps are disappearing after some much needed nice rainfall.

Surprise, Surprise, I am back ! It's the day we share our workspaces.   .HERE Stamping Ground but my desk....well it's stacked high, I can hardly get to it with all the suitcases, gift wrapping, and winter clothes I have laid down there, when I cleaned out the closets for summer gear.  I've a LOT of yuck work to do down there. It's late and no photo would turn out.   

It's been a fun, tiring,  2 weeks. Over 1700 miles within 200 miles of home. Packing and Unpacking.  Time with family was great and so many fun friends attending. It was like old home week.   2 days of shopping, 200 miles,  And he trying to finish up crop planting before the rain and spraying all the fields between winds.

Attending 1 funeral for a Precious friend.200 miles, 100 miles for a day of fishing.    High School Awards night for our graduating grand daughter 400 miles, Monday  attending Graduation, on Friday 400 miles,  attending her Party, on Sunday 400 miles,  

Our grand daughter made her 1st Communion in Germany,  So sad to have missed it., BUT they had a youtube video and I got to watch it. Even spotted my son and DIL  in a side pew.  

This is a display for graduating granddaughter's party. Plus it was her 18th Birthday.  She plans on going to Arizona State College in the Fall......a long ways away. 

I had made my daily May Maidens ahead of time so I could post them each day. Here are 2 of them

And the reason I am posting  ....   I have received the following ATC cards.  I was SO disappointed I couldn't partake on the day of the Anniversary  Top left  Julia,  LLJ   bottom left Angela, Jo and Annie. Thank all of you so much.  Each one is a special Little treasure for me.  

Wishing you all some great weather days, flowers are just popping up all around . 80's/90's for temps, unusually hot for this early.  AND we need rain, it went all around us today.  Happy WOYWW day.

Welcome, it's 5 a m  I'm up for the day. Was a very early to bed last night, as week has been exhausting.

We haven't been home much, the one day here I tore apart the part of the storage room so now my crafty space is beyond help. I washed windows, (of course rain, followed but we needed it) DUSTED oh my...ceiling fans....wall hangings...washed curtains....vacuumed, 3x stopping for recharge. And I cleaned the Refrigerator, a crazy mess.   He finished up planting corn/soybeans and spraying between winds  So the moderate rains we received were Welcomed. He's downsizing his garden and almost got it all planted. 

Worst was home computer is on overload,  so I ordered  storage to make more space. and off because of lightening.  the HP ecco tank disconnected itself from this computer so printing is a real process. NO HELP from them thru a phone call.   Reconnected an older printer/got new spendy ink and it's working, but not the quality of print I want.   

My desks were busy,  ATC's are done, my 3x3's caught up for this week, but will be clean up time for sure.  Link up is      Here at Ms Julia's    if interested.  

The long wooden box, brayer and 2 heavy metal pieces were 50 cent finds at a thrift store we stopped at. I think the 2 pieces of metal art will make great flatting tools and stencils for the shapes. I plan to do Gel prints when I can have a day home. And a "Tiny" little book for paint dabbling. 

This is the playing card for Full Deck Challenge on Bees/Flowers and really the only space that is clean enough to create.   

Wishing you all a Happy Week,  Thanks for stopping by.
