 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 have missed a couple of posts, not due to illness but to laziness ๐Ÿ™„. 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 party๐Ÿ˜ข, 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 ☺️☺️❤️๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒท
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!

Hello! Still freezing, today feels like -4°C. Brrrr. Hopefully we will get some sun soon. Here is my desk this morning:


And here is my unfinished journal page on my desk...I'm trying to use up some of my leftover Fodder School pages in this journal.

The stamps of the birds are from Club Scrap

Here is another journal page I made this week:


Happy Easter everyone! Usually we have Jasper for Easter, but they are in Costa Rica until tomorrow, so I made this for Jasper...(found on Instagram)


And then made enough pieces for her to put together 3 of her own!


I hope she enjoys making her bunnies, and I sent her a cute little dress with bunnies on it too! It will be a lonely Easter, but we will survive. Not sure yet if we are going out, or I am making Easter dinner anyway. What do you do for Easter?

This photo is one reason why I love living here so much, especially with all the hate going on in the states below us at the moment!



That's it for me today, Inky and Mittsy and I wish everyone a Happy Easter!
