WOYWW #809

 It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! We are now sharing through Sarah, at Sarah's Craft Shed.


I'm writing this on Tuesday morning, the forecast for the next few days is snow, lots of it. So I might not even be able to got to Pickleball tomorrow, we will have to see. But here is my desk this morning:

The pages of my project are almost finished, cut up and ready to go, the cover will be made of many of the cloths that I have dyed. This is the "undercover".

Here is the process I went through last week. I "aged the paper" with instant coffee! I just sprinkled the coffee on, then spritzed it with water...


Here is the difference between the papers, before and after "aging"

Then I cut the papers up to the size I wanted for my book:


Then I stacked them up and made the "undercover"



My next step will be adding the fabrics to the cover. I'm almost done...

Last weekend was our 50th Annual Christmas Party with our Uni friends and their spouses. So hard to believe! We had a fabulous time!



The restaurant is in an old church and is called The Renaissance Supper Club. Lovely dinner! The then next day we went to brunch at a beautiful old inn called the Woodview Inn, owned by the brother of one of our friends:


This was just one of the trees! We had a wonderful brunch, it was a beautiful day, and a lovely time with our friends. Next year we are back in the Toronto area or the 51st.

Have a wonderful week, the kitties are inside keeping warm and send all their purrs to you!

What great pics of your meet up - how wonderful that you’re still in touch all these later and looking great too! The place where you had brunch was so beautifully decorated, i enjoyed seeing it. Your aging technique made me smile, it definitely works but do you get a whiff of coffee when you turn the pages? Literally scratch n sniff!!

Looks like you all had a good time, it's so good to meet up with old friends. Loving the paper for the book you're making, it looked quite large so you should have plenty to work with. Happy creative woyww. Hugs Angela x10x
