WOYWW #909

 This is my post for WOYWW#909

Here is my desk today:


To be honest my whole craft room looks as though a bomb has hit it...

This weekend was a virtual retreat and although I didn't get a lot finished my room still gets very untidy!! I still feel that my 'get up and go' has 'got up and gone'...
It was also a long holiday weekend - so we ended up doing things with our daughter.

On my table - you can see a charity shop box in the process of being painted. I regularly upcycle op shop finds!
On the right hand easel you can see the start of Trovember - a collage made by adding one item all the way through November. There is also a set of altered playing cards - these are today's:


I finished two workshops at the weekend - one by Amanda Branston


and one by Niamh Baly. This is on the middle easel. 



Also on the middle easel is the result of a throw the dice game where in one minute a suggested item is added to a page.  This was online with some of the people who organised the virtual retreat. Fun!!


I have managed to keep up with my 'tiny pieces of art' - this is my result so far:


October was a Halloween-y theme - I rather liked this index card where the ghost image was a Conjurer of Dreams image. I saw the opening coffin idea somewhere on insta - of course it disappeared so I can't tell you where.


Sending hugs to all connected to WOYWW. Hopefully I will get around you all this week!

  3. Happy knitting-day WOYWW! Having a quick scoot round after a sleepless night. Love your tiny pieces, and I realize it must have been you that inspired me to have a go at Trovember! My first - love your peek and that cat is fab. The journal pages really speak to me as well. What an extra- fab visit today.

  5. Haa! Haa! another messy desk Lol! it must be catching. I love to see a messy desk, I get worried if they are too tidy as it might mean you're ill Lol! Having said that you've got so much going on here that you have a perfectly good reason for being a mess. Love the tiny pieces, great idea. Happy woyww with hugs Angela x9x

  8. Wow, you have been busy! I love the No Place Like Home page! And the tiy peices af art tags look like what we used to call Moo Cards! The Halloween index cards are great, especially the skeleton in the coffin - I just might steal that idea for my next page in my Halloween Journal! Lindart#13🍂🙂

  10. You are prolific and so you are allowed an untidy area. However, I don’t see it, I just see work in progress! I love the two workshop pieces and Ausan, can’t tell you how much I admire how you can change from style to style and produce as you do! I’m sorry that you feel you’re getup and go has gone walk about, I must say it doesn’t show, but perhaps you’ve just yet to hit on something that really strikes that ‘I can’t leave this alone’ part of you. Don’t stop looking but know that you are an inspiration anyway!!

  11. I'm mesmerized by all the beautiful pieces you've worked on this past week. I really like both your altered art playing cards, and that coffin card is SO clever. Happy WOYWW!
