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 #678
June 1st - the first day of Winter here in Australia - and certainly it is cold enough! The max temp today was 14 degrees. My temperature blanket has gone blue. Not long before I will have finished the first half... the plan is to do two halves and then crochet them together...(maybe)!
First of all I am going to share some happy mail - these are what have arrived so far!!
from Caro and from Jan
Thank you!!
This is my workdesk today:
Again this is the work surface in the utility room - I am playing with my Gelli plates. I recently saw the tip of having a second Gelli plate alongside to brayer off extra paint and then use this for more pulls.
I made a variety of backgrounds - pages, index cards, junk journal cardboards...
I started making a few index card backgrounds as I thought I would join in with the ICAD challenge again - it starts today...
I thought I might use the prompts to start off with - maybe - anyway I may have the first week's set to show you next week.
I went to see the house earlier - still not got a completion date, but it is coming on... I think that is a plumber...
It was actually pouring with rain - so I also got a rainbow picture!
Finally - I was just looking at my Facebook memories - this is from 5 years ago today, at Bodnant Garden...
Happy WOYWW!
A second geli plate is a great idea. You get a product line going! Your blanket looks lovely. I had forgotten about the index card a day. I don’t think I brought any with me this year. Happy WOYWW. Angela #2
ReplyDeleteHi there - not feeling very warm here in London either but he sun has just made an appearance so that might improve! Love the second gelli plate idea, will definitely do that next time as I have more than one. That is one super laburnum arch!!

ReplyDeletethe blanket is going to be gorgeous, it's a lovely way to track the weather! playing catch up here, had some Jubilee fizz in the office this afternoon so I fell asleep when I got home... Helen #5
ReplyDeleteI guess my ATC hasn't made it yet then.... Mine from Julia hasn't arrived either but that might have got lost unless it has gone via Australia. 14C well that is my happy temperature, anything above and my hot flashes are unbearable and we're just starting Summer here!!!! Oh NO! Love the blanket, hubby could do with a blanket all the time, me defo not! Oh those prompts are tempting but I'm not very crafty these days.. Love your brother's window decs for the Jubilee. I have flags on the house and bushes. BJ#12
ReplyDeleteNice blanket! It's been sunny and raining here today. Great idea to have two plates on the go, stops you wasting paint. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x6x

ReplyDeleteI've just scrolled back ages to see the first bit about your ziggy zaggy blanket! It really has grown! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! Happy Late WOYWW ((Lyn)) #15
ReplyDeleteReceived your super ATC now, thank you!
DeleteLoving the blanket. I am wondering how cold is cold there at the moment? When we visited Australia, my friend said you should have come in Summer - couldn't as worked then. It was cold at night but in the day seemed very warm to us. :-) We drove from Adelaide to Brisbane , it did snow when we were in the Blue Mountains. How exciting re your house. Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteI definitely visited but did I forget to comment or did it disappear like some of mine do???? Love the blanket, inking and the cut outs of the queen. BJ#12
ReplyDeleteooh the blanket is looking really good. Yes chucking it down here today, but luckily we did have a mainly dry bank holiday for the jubilee
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my desk already
kyla
Oooo, thanks for the tip about the second gelli plate... that's a great idea (why didn't I think of it myself? *grin*) I really love that blanket! I crocheted some grannies a few years ago, until my beloved said we had enough 'hippie-blankets' in da house... ha! Love the design of yours! Thanks for visiting my desk last week and sorry for being so late with my return visit. Have a lovely week! Hug from Holland, Marit #23
