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 !!


12 Months of Christmas Link Up September 2026

 

    


This is my DT make for the September Challenge

This month the theme is "Stripes"



Our sponsor is


Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made an easel card using the paper from this: 


I started with a white card blank, matted it with the striped then the image, embossed and watercoloured. The stamp set is from Visible Image.


I used this as an easel added to a base also covered with the striped paper. I distressed all the rectangles with vintage photo. I added a 49 & Market embellishment to hold the easel up.



Happy Crafting!

This card started with a 4 by 6 card blank, matted with half inch strips of designer paper.
I then added the die cut leaves, cut in green. I diecut a circle and rectangle to add a fussy cut butterfly (Gecko Galz) and words using a Concordand9th die.
