WOYWW #582

Another Wednesday, time to peek at each others desks and projects! If you want to know what WOYWW is, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html  and all will be revealed!

Greeting to everyone! I hope everyone is healthy and feeling crafty! Hubby is slowly recovering, not there yet, but he's being very "good" and not doing what he's not supposed to do. 

Here is my desk this morning:

And this is a new journal I am trying, using an envelope as the cover. Not sure I like it yet, but I will give it a try!

So today is short and sweet, just how Julia likes it, leaving with a photo from yesterday of my two beauties, you can tell which is which if you look closely...!

And Mittsy in her favourite position in my lap!

Hoping everyone stays well and safe next week, wear your masks and carry on!

I hope everyone out there is well! I completely missed last weeks post, it flew by without me noticing. It was the weirdest thing! But, in my defense, hubby had contracted an infection, unrelated to his knee surgery, which totally upended everything he had done the previous week relating to his knees. He's been in bed now for the past 12 days, and that first 7 days or so was a nightmare for both of us. He is slowly re-cooperating, I can now leave him for a few hours at a time to do other things. He now has to re-gain what he lost in relation to his progress with walking. 

Anyway, needless to say, while he was in that state nothing got done craft-wise, so you didn't miss anything.
Here is my desk this morning:

A new flower shop just opened up nearby, so I am making gift cards for it! Never made cards for sale before, it was hard trying to figure out how much to charge. They are 3x3" cards with envelopes, and I will charge her $22 cad (about 13 GBP) or $25 cad (about 14.5 GBP) for 16.  Those of your who sell cards, does this sound reasonable?
Anyway, here they are, 8 different designs:

The embossed middle is slightly raised.
Essentially they are made to tuck into a floral arrangement. The store owner loved them, so that's good!
I am also experimenting with tea bags, so here are some cards I made using them, tea bags that have been unfolded.

I think this is a Dina Wakely stamp above, and the one below is Stampin' Up

That's it for me, I will get around to as many of you as I can over the next few days! 
I found this online somewhere, and I loved it!

So on that note, Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and I say have a great week!

My desk hasn't changed much, as I really haven't been able to get to it. 

Last week I had to pick some needed things for hubby's return on Friday, and the car just happened to take me to our local stamp store...funny how the car knows where that is! So I got myself one new stamp and 2 re-inkers. This is, actually, exactly what I was looking for!

Along with caring for hubby, who is doing very well and really only needs help with meals, I hurt my back, so it is painful to do very much except put the heating pad on it. But I went to my chiropractor yesterday and it's feeling better today. We have been having a heat wave over the past few days, with temperatures soaring above 40°C, and so I have had to keep the cats in during the hot afternoons. But they are out in the cooler mornings.

Inky's favourite spot. Mittsy doesn't often stop long enough to sit in a chair!

Here are my newest blooms, most of the rest of the garden needs de-heading so they can bloom again.

And I bought a catnip plant for the cats, I often see Inky chomping away on it, but Mittsy pretty much ignores it. Maybe that's why Inky looks so zen in her chair!

Well, that's it for me today! Mittsy and Inky give you a rousing "meow!" and I say "have a great week, stay safe!"

Greetings all! Today is Canada Day here, happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian WOYWWers!

of course all the normal plans are gone, no parade, no events, no art shows (except online), everything this year is virtual. And hubby is still in hospital, so a lonely one too. But he will be home on Friday! YAY!

But I digress, here is my desk today!

Not too messy, and an actual space to work! My project this week has been Tea Bag art, since I've been making a lot of iced tea lately. I never realized how different tea bags were! I started out with the ones that open up to a large flat piece of very thin paper:

 this woman is from Meer Image, and the grapevine wreath is

from Stampington

this bird is from Club Scrap

this dragonfly is from Stamp Oasis

I will probably add some bling to it, I usually do with this stamp!

I haven't tried the smaller tea bags yet, that will be next week.

Garden:

My garden is finally looking good! I don't have much, just this little perennial bed:

 my newest flower

my roses!

It's funny, I really can't see my garden from the porch unless I walk around right in front of it, but I can see a beautiful garden across the street, which makes me happy! I am not a great gardener. If I had the money I would hire someone to make me swaths of garden that I could see and enjoy from the porch! It's all up here in my head...

Here are Mittsy and Inky to say hello today!

 Mittsy on the bed,

and Inky in the favourite bed (for both of them) right in the bedroom window. Sometimes I will find one in the bed and one stretched out beside it - we have a long cat-dedicated shelf under the window. You can see the curtain to the right of Inky, so they have this lovely "hidden" space! And my pile of Books-to-read at the end of the shelf.

Well, that's it for me! Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and I say have a great week!
