 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.

Hello everyone! I didn't forget this week! I have a few things to show, which is nice, but first my desk this morning, with a little hint of my most recent project:

I've always liked Zentangles, and used to do a bit of it years ago. Recently I've been watching a channel on You Tube called Hu Art Drawing and fell in love with his Zentangles. I thought I would give his process a try...

Not too bad for not having done Zentangles for many years! I love the addition of watercolours to the Zentangles! If you enjoy Zentangles, check out his channel!

I also finished 2 pages in my JIYA Journal:

Megan Quinlan stencils. The first sentiment with the birds is from the Mary Poppins play (musical) that we saw last Friday. It's a song that I don't remember from the movie.

I also finished a page from my Fabric Journal (yes, still working on that!)

I did some zentangles in the purple hand! The image is from Collage Soup.

Well that's it for me! We are having another heat wave, which is also bringing humidity, but it's not too bad. We have AC so we are comfortable (actually I'm freezing!) indoors. I remember in the past trying to do my art without AC and dripping over everything! It is very nice that that isn't happening anymore! I hope all of you are comfortable wherever you are too, Have a great week,

Well, I missed last week, Wednesday flew by, and it wasn't until Thursday that I remembered! Senior moment!🤪Oh well. Here is my desk this morning: 

I'm working on a new journal page, will be done by next week. I did a bit of re-organozing this week. I decided I didn't want my Meghan Quinlan stencils to be sorted into categories, along with other stencils, but kept in their original groups, so I did this:

These are right beside me at my desk. I think I will be able to remember more what I have this way.

Here is my latest completed journal page, that I showed you the start of in my last post:

The girl in the middle flips. I'm not all that happy with this page, I think it's too busy.

Well, that's all for me today, it's a beautiful day today, blue skies, no clouds, about 20°C, but I'm sure the heat will be back soon! Have a wonerful week, and I will try not to breeze past next Wednesday!

I have missed a couple of posts, not due to illness but to laziness 🙄. I haven't done much of anything in my art room for a couple of weeks. But this past weekend Jasper and her Mom came to visit, and Jasper and I spent time in my art room! She wanted to paint, and make cards, so that is what we did.

She made a few of these painted cards, then stamped and coloured in the stamped image. I didn't get  photo of them☹️ though. But on July 1st, Canada Day, we went to an art fair where there was an arts and crafts tent, and Jasper made a few crafts, then this painting

We chopped it up for cards when we got home and she made these for her Mom and Dad:

She wanted to use my Alice in Wonderland collection for her Dad's card!

Anyway, watching her have a day of art was so much fun

I did start a journal page last week, here is is:

journal page start

Hopefully I can finish it this week.

Well that's it for me today, Jasper is safely home with her Mom starting Summer Camp today. She was very excited, as she seems to be about so many things these days! 4 years old is such a wonderful year!

I will leave you with Mittsy and Inky today...

Have a wonderful summery week!

Hello! I had another week where I didn't get to my art room very often, but I did manage to get one journal page done, with one one the way! Here is my desk this morning:

The shoe is gone, the glue didn't work well, so it's in the garbage for them. I have a new pair that I haven't tried for Pickleball yet, so we will see. I got out my text papers for this journal page!

Here is last week's page:

The images are from a Collage Soul book. They remind me (and my Mom) of my Grandmother.

And that's about it for this week. Here is a lovely peaceful photo of Inky...

Hope your week is peaceful too!

What am I like? I post for the first time in weeks, then forget to blog hop! This week will be better! Thanks for the comments, all of you will be first this week. I am feeling better this week, and I'm going to a breathwork physiotherapist - who knew? I hope it helps. I did not see the inside of my art room this week until yesterday...here is my desk this morning:

 My Pickleball shoe needed the sole glued down. Things in and on my shoe to press it down. The latest journal page in progress. My watercolours in the back. Since I was only in my art room once this week, this is all I have. But, my choir group have moved to a new practice location in a church community center and they have these beautiful fabric murals on the tops of the walls!

Aren't these great?

And last week was Jasper's first dance recital!

Wizard of Oz theme (I don't think she's even seen the movie) but she had fun!

That's it for me today. I promise I will get to all of you this week!❤️☺️

Hello! It's been a long time since I have been able to post, I missed the Zoom party😢, but hopefully next year. I have been very sick with asthma related viruses and I still have laryngitis, but that won't matter here. Long time sick, long time recovering, I am now feeling more like myself! I was able to do a few things over the time I was sick, which I will show you. I was DELIGHTED ☺️☺️❤️🌸🌸🌷
to recieve an ATC from Mary Anne in the mail yesterday. I found it after watching King Charles on TV who is visiting Canada right now, an envelope marked "Royal Mail" with his head on a stamp, it was quite exciting! I love the ATC! Thank you!

Here is my desk this morning:

And here is the journal page I made yesterday:

I really need to get outdoors!

I joined a free workshop called Sketchbook Revival Bingefest which had a lot of free "gifts", one of which was how to draw cats! So here is my first attempt with her directions:

Each cat face starts with a number.

Here are the pages that I somehow worked on when I was sick (I don't even remember)

The above are from my fabric journal, I've only just hit the middle...so several more pages to do.

This is in my JIYA journal.

Jasper turned 

2 weekends ago, I was very happy to be well enough to attend her "Frozen" birthday party

with Elsa!

Well that's it for me, it is finally spring here and all the trees are green and growing fast, the foxes are back and Mittsy is now staring them down off the porch! Such a brave cat!

Have a wonderful week!

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter! We are finally getting little blue flowers on the lawn (scilla), and the daffodils are starting to peek up! Spring is here! (but it's still only 2°C!).

Here is my desk this morning, I was working on my fabric book yesterday:

I finished a journal page that I showed last week:

(The middle piece flips over!)

And I continued on to make 2 more pages in this journal:

I used images from this book:

I have 3 collage image books, and so far this is my favourite!

My Easter craft gift to Jasper was a hit!

And of course the Easter Bunny came to visit us as well!

I'll leave you with a picture of Mittsy, who, for some reason, loves to be upside down!

Have a wonderful week, meows from Inky and Mittsy!
