Here's my desk today:

My photo is rather dark as daylight is going here in Melbourne (6pm). Not much to see although there is an altered playing card on the little easel and makes for Gecko Galz and Conjurer of Dreams which will be shared tomorrow and later in the month...

There are a couple of dies that I picked up from a charity shop.

I haven't done much crafting this week as we went away last Thursday, staying in a motel in Echuca for 4 nights - we saw many of the local sights but I didn't really get the chance to comment... I did make these ATCs - one of which uses the same images as the altered playing card. These were from Gecko Galz.

I am adding a few photos from the long weekend although if you are my friend on Facebook you will see many more!!

We went to the Great Aussie Beer Shed where there was a huge collection of beer cans - I don't think these would be made now...

It is now 5 weeks since my hip replacement - I am doing pretty well and doing lots of physio in rehab. I think I probably walked too much over the weekend but I can already do so much more than before the op. I am waiting for my review with the surgeon which will be in a week or so.

Have a happy WOYWW !!

Here's my desk today:

 All you can see is a box of lace scraps in which I am trying to find suitable bits to decorate some ephemera envelopes.

 These were demonstrated by Maureen on a swap group I am part of. They are made with used envelopes that I save...

The other thing I made yesterday were some scrap busting strips that I will use in my junk journals - belly bands or pockets or something. These used some of those little scraps of paper that accumulate on my desk.

I am currently up to date with my year long tiny pieces of art. This month the theme is In the meadows at Springtime. We of course are into Spring - and some days it actually feels warm enough!

 These are my Weeks 1 - 3:

Have a happy WOYWW !!

Here's my desk today:

 

Rather a dumping ground!!

 I have been doing a bit of crafting but mainly just getting over the hospital stay.

 I am still on a fair amount of painkillers and then, yesterday, I went to my first (of 10) outpatients rehab session at the hospital. 

I am noticeably better than before the op...

One of the things I have done is a little folio on a French Country Village theme, for a swap.

This was made with two pieces of A4 folded in half and connected together.

The images are from My Porch Prints

The other things are on my blog if you want to scroll down.

Hope I will have more to share next week!

Have a happy WOYWW !!

Here's my desk today:

 

Not a lot different from the last time I shared because I have been

 in hospital until Sunday. I did a little more crafting whilst there - a felted koala.

Since I have been home I have just finished my August Tiny Pieces of Art

and Seek Gather Create

Hope I will have more to share next week!

Have a happy 901st WOYWW !!

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 !!
