What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday #603

       WOYWW          

It's Wednesday again - so I am linking this post to the Stamping Ground.

Again a very busy week so not much crafting has been done.

Anyway here's my desk picture for WOYWW 603!





Rather a mess! The white basket is almost empty - it held the Christmas tags I made. Presents nearly all wrapped!!

I have been making more felt birds...



And I framed and hung some of my little landscape pictures...



But my journal page courtesy of Niamh Baly is still at the same stage.

Maybe I will be able to share it finished next week!



Currently however I feel a bit like this...


That was thrown up by Facebook memories - recently this has also reminded me of the following pictures. Kevin and I used to be involved in the Am Dram pantos when we lived in Abu Dhabi. We were often the front and back of a pantomime camel.


But one year we made and were the pantomime shark:


Just to finish though - a favourite photo - a very old picture of my brother and sister and I...


Any way just off to make gingerbread and mince pies - have finished most of the Christmas Day food shopping- need to check that list!

But here's wishing you all a very happy Christmas and let's hope 2021 is a better year!

Happy WOYWW !!

    Happy WOYWW. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos. Happy memories. I used to be involved with Am Dram too - behind the scenes, I was always too shy to get on the stage. Merry Christmas. Ali x #5

    Hi Susan. Gorgeous pictures - happy times with your siblings - and hilarious times in the AmDram group. A shark???!!! I was never really into amdram - but was a witch in a school production of the opera Dido and Aenaeus - not terribly edifying! But over the years I have made hundreds of costumes for church musicals - even a wicked king with a collar that stood to attention!
    Have a very special, happy Christmas.
    Take care. God bless.

    Your lovely blog made me smile this morning - the pic of you both in the Panto camel made me hoot, it’s brilliant! Did you have ‘discussions’ about who was going to be in the front?! Hope you have a lovely Christmas away from the madness!

    LOL at your elf on the shelf, lying prone. And the little birdy garland is fab. I'll hope to see your journal page done, I like her style, and always love to see someone else interpret things in their own way. And the panto photos? A total joy, but not a patch on the vintage one. That should be a Christmas card image - it is holiday perfection!

    Merry Christmas to all of WOYWW!

    Hi Susan, I love those felt birds, something you could just keep adding and adding too how fab. Hubby drew the short straw being the back of the camel hee hee.. but the last picture of you, your brother and sister is very special indeed. Take time to enjoy all your hard work this Christmas. Seasons WoywW greetings Tracey #6

    Lovely photos, the little felt birds are beautiful and I laughed at the camel picture! The one of you and your siblings looks so magical and special.
    Hope you have a lovely Christmas,

    What a lovely picture of you and your siblings - childhood memories are so precious! Love your framed landscapes and the camel suit is hilarious! Have a lovely Christmas in Australia - I couldn't imagine having Christmas in the summer, but I guess it's just like everything else you get used to it. xx zsuzsa #21

    Hi Susan, love the felt birds - and the photo of the elf not on the shelf, but flat on his back lol. I think I'll feel like that tomorrow when I have finished doing all I need to do. Beautiful photos of lovely memories. Have a great Christmas, Heather xx #30

    What a smashing post, Susan - I love seeing the photos of you having fun being pantomime animals, and as children at Christmas! As I write this I'm listening to old recordings Dad made of us kids when we were tiny, singing Christmas carols! I might try and post one next week! I adore your cute little felt birds - so sweet and colourful, and I love how you've framed your landscapes. The flat out elf is hilarious! I know that feeling exactly!!

    Thank you for your visit last week - I'm all behind I'm afraid! I did try crispy kale once and then promptly forgot all about it - I might try it again. Thanks for the reminder.

    Have a lovely Christmas and happy WOYWW,
