Here is my workdesk:

What can you see on my work desk that's different?

Well there are a few stamped images, a couple of new stamp sets on the right - and one from Temu on the left!

I was intending sharing my next Tiny pieces of Art but I have yet to photograph any May pieces.

This week I thought I would get my sewing machine out as I had a couple of things in mind. However it was being a pain so I managed some junk journal sewn pockets 

and then took to my hand...this is also to add to a junk journal using old jeans pockets to make pockets.

I received an ATC swap today the theme was steampunk chic.

This was mine:

Lovely to see all your blogs on WOYWW... I did manage to get round to everyone last week but I hope I be earlier this week.

Here is my workdesk:

Ollie has just been picked up by his Mum and Dad so I am only just catching up with my post... You can see my desk with my 17th Anniversary ATC at the front.

We are all thinking of Neet and send my condolences to all who knew her well...

This is my ATC:

The traditional anniversary 17th Anniversary gift is furniture along with citrine and carnelian gems. So I added a comfy chair along with the sentiment 'Come in and take a seat...'

Although I am in Australia I am happy to swap  if anyone would like to swap with me... please email me

The only thing I am going to share is my journal page which I made after watching an Art by Marlene workshop.

Nice to see you all on WOYWW... I did manage to get round to some of you last week but I hope I do better this week.

I recently participated in a workshop by Jo-Firth Young and this gave me the idea of windows opening to see the colourful images beneath:

First of all I must mention Neet, who very sadly passed away in hospital. Although we never met in person, I feel I know her from her blog. I so wished she would be able to post again...my condolences to all who knew her well...

I will look for ATCs that she swapped with me for next week

Here is my workdesk:

Rather a mess as I have been busy catching up with the workshops from last week's virtual retreat.

On my desk last week was the start of a page inspired by a workshop by Kate Crane - I have finished this - this was the background:

And this is it finished:

I continued the journal pages inspired by Niamh Baly:

This is this week's Tiny piece of Art.  This month the theme is Easter/Furry Friends so this is my fifth page of May: - the theme is Furry Friends  using magazine images and tissue. I used an image from Conjurer of Dreams as the main image. this is from the Facebook group and this month's colour challenge.

This means I have done one third of the year - 8 months to go...

I have started thinking about my ATC for next week, ready to be placed on my desk. However if anyone would like to swap with me (I am in Australia) please email me

Happy WOYWW! I did manage to get round to some of you last week but I hope I do better this week.
