Here's my desk today:
 

Not a lot different from the last time I shared because I have been
 in hospital until Sunday. I did a little more crafting whilst there - a felted koala.


Since I have been home I have just finished my August Tiny Pieces of Art









Hope I will have more to share next week!



Have a happy 901st WOYWW !!

This is a weekly challenge during August set up by Lisa Goddard Art on Facebook.

Tiny Pieces of Art - August

  At the beginning of the year I started a year long challenge courtesy of Linda Pearson on Facebook

I decided to use index cards as I had a little booklet of these in my stash. 

I like this format as I have been doing the Index Card a Day Challenge during June and July for some years now.

This is how far I have got so far:


This month's prompts are as follows:


Week 1

This was inspired by Ollie's favourites!


Week 2

Images from Gecko Galz.


Week 3

I am happy to say I am out of hospital after rehab following my hip replacement - so I managed to do my last two August TPAs.


I have used images from Conjurer of Dreams - Superheroes Pool party.
Untying the ribbon reveals Spiderman.


Opening the flap reveals Superman and Batman.
On the back of the flap is a photo of my daughter and I behind one of those boards with holes in to put your faces behind.



Week 4

Inspired by Picasso. The top face is a Tim Holtz die set. The other images I have drawn.


Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #900!!

          



Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW#900 

I joined WOYWW in #576 having seen Angela's posts (Stamping with Jack). 
I was in Covid isolation a lot around then... so it became quite a lifeline. However I still feel quite a newcomer when I read other WOYWWers posts! Since then I have only missed a handful of weeks but I am not so good at commenting. This has something to do with the time difference living in Australia. We moved back to Australia in February 2020. I had been back in the UK for the previous 5 years caring for my elderly Mum and Dad.

Anyway my first double-0 would have been #600... December 2nd 2020. HERE

 


At this point this was my craft area - a little alcove in one of the bedrooms at the rental!



These were some of the things I shared:
hexagonal tags: 




Hat tags... both sets of tags were made using my Cricut which was a new acquisition in that April.


But now we are up to week 900. Some of you know that I am in hospital after a hip replacement on August 24th. Consequently I have done my best with this post with whatever technology I have available. I am doing pretty well in Rehab, duetobe discharged on Sunday.

While here... yes I have had to do a bit of crafting - a felted penguin and some cross stitch!




Have a happy 900th WOYWW !!
