 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! What a beautiful morning here in Southern Ontario! The sun is shining, there was a Blue Jay at the feeder, and Inky went outside for a little while! Mittsy did too, but turned right around and came back inside. 0°C is still too cold! Almost all the snow is gone, and the tempertature is rising during the day...Spring is on it's way!

Here is my desk this morning. I was as surprised as you this morning when I saw it!

I don't know what has gotten into me! I haven't been able to do much this week, my doctor has me on bed rest due to an asthma flare up, but I did do a few things. I wanted a stencil of a Russian Doll, the kind that fit inside each other, so I made one. This doll was my first one:

I liked her so much I thought I would make up a bunch of them:

And here is where they are now:

waiting to be finished. They each have their own personality! I may continue and make a few smaller and smaller ones!

Hopefully I can finish them by next week. 

Well that's is for me, short and sweet! I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Inky and Mittsy are so looking forward to warmer days!

Long Time

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog for such a long time! I've been very busy with work, the end of the school year, and now teaching one week of Summer Camp-hopefully it will all end soon and I can have my break! But regardless, I have been making art!

This was for a bird card swap for my Art For the Creative Mind Yahoo Group. It now lives in Liverpool! I used a Club Scrap stamp that had the 3 birds on it, watercoloured the image and cut it into 3 pieces.

This is the arch I made for the 7th anniversary of the ABC Altered Book club. I will be getting about 13 more, and then I will make a book! I had fun making this, even though it took a few tries to get it right!

This is my lovely Steampunk Mona Lisa, again for a swap on AFTCM Yahoo group. She now lives in Philly! The swap was just art dolls, but steampunk was in my head because they were also doing a steampunk necklace swap that I didn't do, so I did a doll instead!

This is my page for Altered Books Canada Yahoo Group (ABCanada).

We had a Nature ATC Swap and we make an altered book page from the ATC we received. This is my page! My ATC came from Jane in Saskatchwan. The bees on the ATC are raised, so I mirrored that with my bee on the sunflower. The girl came from Dover.

And last but not least, some journal pages. Still a bit sporadic, I'm hoping for daily in the summer. Playing around with style again! Wanting to use more of my stamps that were getting very lonely.

That's it for now! Hopefully I will update before the month is over!

Thanks for looking and I always love your comments!
