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

I almost forgot! But thankfully I didn't.😅 Here we are, after enjoying lovely high temperatures, the snow almost gone, green grass showing, and St. Patrick's day hppens:

Aaaak!!!! Winter is not over yet...

Anyway, here is my very messy desk this morning:

I'm working on my Self-Care Journal, here is the page you see on my desk:

Looking ahead to Easter. The arched door came from a tag from Taperlogy, and I made it into a stencil as it was the perfect size!

I ordered some tape from Taperlogy, but my brain failed to process that there was a specific date on each stamp...

so already Jan, Feb and most of March are unusable, and I bought TWO of them! aargh! I will have to figure out a way to use them without the dates...! If only they made them with only the month and number, no day, no year, I could use them whenever.

 Hubby and I went to a concert last Sunday night called "The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight" , it was quite amazing! They did a bunch a heavy metal songs which I didn't know, not being a metalhead, but also some other songs, Abba, Hozier, Paint it Black, Thunderstruck...and a few short classical bits which were wonderful. Anyway, great time, very LOUD!! And the voices were incredible!

There were 15 trained classical musicians, not an electric guitar in sight! The drummer was really good, he did a fantastic solo. 

Well that's all for me, Inky and Mittsy are still waiting for spring...I wish everyone a wonderful creative week!

Hello! Today is a rainy day, meaning all the snow is going away! Yay! We can see our fence again! I missed last week 🫣I totally forgot it was Wednesday until the evening! Oh well...I remembered today!

Here is my desk this morning:

I'm trying to design my own stencils since I can't buy them anymore from the states. Apparently Canada is "overseas" and they can't send anything overseas. I feel so bad for the small businesses like Megan's who are suffering.😢.  Anyway, designing my own stencils will be fun, and learning how to cut them on my Cricut Joy will be fun.

I have almost finished (1 more page) my journal:

I framed two of my weavings, and gave one away for a birthday present (the blue one) and the other is hanging in my kitchen. I found the frames at a thrift shop, I think they turned out great!

I'm also still working on my tiny 3-inch journal:

I ordered some things from a new (to me) company called Taperology (based in Canada, I think shipped from China) and I was very pleasantly surprised at what I got!

Plus a freebie! A few days later I ordered 2 rolls of stamps (like the sample on the bag of houses), and got another freebie! So far I like this company!

I will leave you with this cute little pattern in the snow

Have a wonderful week, Inky and Mittsy are happy that the temperatures are above 0°!

Hello from a snowy wintery day! Here is my desk this morning: 

You can see that I left the lid off the glue🫨! That'sbecause I last used it at 3 in the morning🥱! 

I made a little addition to one of the pieces from last week, adding "Today will be a Peaceful Day". I also made a 12x12 woven piece with the same message. This is the message of the Bhuddist monks who walked from Texas to Washington DC. Did you guys get to see that? It was pretty incredible.

 And I did work on my self-care journal a bit this week. Not sure it's completly finished...this page was to remind myself of my accomplishments.

Well that's it for me today. Mittsy went to the vet for her yearly check-up, and is now 16.44 Lbs! She is so heavy! But not fat, all muscle! (well, maybe a little fat!)

She used to be so little! And so cute! Now she is a "bruiser"! She is also now considered a "senior". Too bad that doesn't mean she gets senior discounts from the vet!

Have a wonderful week!

First, I apologise for not getting to my comments this week. Thank you to all who commented and wished me well, it always helps! I think I was in a bit of a fog last week, still dealing with my cold, coughing and shingles, but I think we are on the road to recovery! Here is my desk this morning:

My journal is awaiting the next page to be started. I did manage to do a Fodder School 2 project, and I really liked it! Something I remember doing in grade school, but now I'm using my own papers!

I thought I would add a focal point to this one:

And I had cut off all the fringes. Bit then I thought I liked the fringes and made another one with a bigger focal point...

Which one do you like best? Or is it better with no focal point? I have some more ideas with this that I want to try. A great way to get rid of scraps!

My Mom turned 91 last week, here is her card:

And of course, Valentines Day...

I am so grateful to even be able to make him a card after his ICU scare two weeks ago.❤️

That's it for me this week, I will be much better at commenting this week, I promise!

Hello! I have been off for 2 weeks, a lot has happened. I've been dealing with shingles, then a bad cold on top of that, then hubby in ICU and the stress of that...it's been a heck of a two weeks. But I'm on the mend, hubby is home. I'm now just dealing with the pain of the shingles, and the awful coughing through the night. I'm not getting a lot of sleep🙁. But I've been taking honey instead of cough syrup - it works pretty well! I haven't been able to do much in my art room, but here is my desk this morning:

And here is the Gratitude page for my Self-Care journal:

And that's it as far as any art goes. I am hoping to get back to it very soon. My next page is supposed to be "achievements". 

Inky has been by my side a lot lately, she always knows when something is up. She's never done this before though! Sitting on the back of my chair...she's done this several times now.

And here is a beautiful photo from Feb 1st...

His den is right in front of our house. He is one handsome fox!

I hope everyone is well, especially Neet, and that everyone has a lovely Valentines Day!

Hello! I am looking out of my office window at tons of snow...

My fence is almost comptely covered! Here is a view from Toronto at my DD's place...

We got a bit of snow this week! Pickleball  was cancelled 2 weeks in a row due to snow☹️❄️. 

Here is my desk this morning. I am working on my Gratitude page for my self-care journal from watching You Tube videos by Megan Quinlan.

I finished last week's page on Books and Movies/TV shows I like:

That's it for me this week! I will leave you with Jasper making snow angels!

Have a wonderful and creative week, Inky and Mittsy send their purrs!

Hello! I hope everyone is well! Today is a typical winter's day, expecting 15-20cm of snow. So I am tucked up in my nice warm house in my nice warm fuzzy pajama bottoms! Inky has the zoomies this morning, she really wants to get outside!

Here is my desk this morning. I was working early this morning between 2 & 3am because I couldn't sleep. It happens sometimes...

I made that whole 2 page spread early this morning.

I am working in my Self-Care Journal that I started, It's a journal essentially about me, my favourite things, gratitude, etc. I'm following a You Tube tutorial by Megan Quinlan. The pages I did this morning will be about favourite movies and authors.

Here is the one I worked on last week, I did add somthing to the page on the right. I haven't filled in anything yet on this page, but it is about my favourite things and things to do. And I used my new house stamps! I love how this page turned out.

I made a new page in my tiny 3" book, the first one since November I think:

And finally, a shout out to my good friend Therese who sent me a funky birthday card! I love it!

Well that's it for today, hunkering down for a snowy day! I will leave you with Inky, dreaming of warmer days...

Have a great week!
