Wednesday again, so I am linking to the Stamping Ground.
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 #652
This is my desk picture for this week:
Actually my desk is the same as last week - nothing has changed! We have been over to stay with our youngest son and granddaughters in East Gippsland for a few days and very little crafting has been done! This is a picture of Matt's cactus garden.

Well, I have made a few more sock monkeys...
Remember the beautifully wrapped parcels of craft items that I received from Natalie May?
Inside one was an Art by Marlene Advent calendar - today I opened it up and opened number 1! My daughter also gave me the Crafter's Companion one.
I was delighted to receive a prize from that 10 day virtual retreat with
Kevin has made me this year's outside tree from scrap timber. (The picture shows our Advent calendar behind - this was made for our boys about 40 years ago...)
My final picture is the start of our build!
Hope you are all well - stay safe...
Happy WOYWW !! Hope to call on all of you this week...
You’ve have some lovely things going on, the sock monkeys made me smile, they’re such characters! And the items received through the post are wonderful, especially the advent calendar. I liked your Hubby’s wooden Christmas tree, simple but very effective and yay for the start of the building works, a new chapter begins!

What a haul! Love the advent calendars - they look lovely. But oh my, your sock monkeys are OUTSTANDING. I love them so very much. Quite fabulous really. And the "outside tree" is great as well. How handy. Enjoy the build!
ReplyDeleteThat utility area is perfect for messy play - make sure you have something like that in your new house! Is it not weird having Christmas in the Summer? I couldn't imagine it! It's so exciting having a crafty advent calendar - I've got the mixed media one from CraftBox this year with pastes and mini sprays. The last two years I had their charms packs, but I've got more charms now than I can ever use LOL! I'm not sure if it's actually worth it, but it's nice to look forward to opening something that's not just chocolate. Happy December! xx zsuzsa #18
