 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 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!

Another lovely Spring day! Today is SIL's birthday, I made him a card and forgot to take a picture of it. Oh well.

Iwas busy all weekend with DD and GD, and I'm now sick. It seems to happen every time. 😒So I haven't done anything yet this week. But I do have my desk:

Which doesn't look like much as the last thing I made on it was SIL's birthday card. Hopefully I can do something today.

But here are some Easter pics! The Easter Bunny brings everyone a basket!

Jasper got some bunny ears...

and a new dress which she loved...

And she helped to make the Deviled Eggs with her mom...

And her favourite thing to do was play Grandma's piano! It is an electric piano and has tons of demo tracks which she loves to play!

Well that's it for me today, back off to rest and recuperate! Hopefully I will feel more my self soon. Have a wonderful Spring week,

Happy April! We woke up this morning to a lovely thunderstorm, and it will probably rain all day. That's what April is for! Bring on the green!

Here is my desk this morning, I have a lovely prepared watercolour sheet to play with, all my favourite colours! 

I carved 2 new stamps this week:

And here is how I used them this week:

I love how they both turned out!

Here are a couple pages in my little mini journal that I did this week:

and some pages from my full sized journal:

On this page I added the script in the half circles - I photo copied one of my pages of script on to a round label sheet, which made them easy to add to this page!

I added the rainbow crown to this stamp! It changes her whole personality!

Well that's it for me this week, I am busy cleaning house for Easter visitors, so I'm not sure how much art will get done, but I will have pics!

Here is Inky, waiting for Spring to actually arrive so she can go out and sleep in the sunshine on the porch. Not today though!

It is so nice to watch the rain obliterate the snow that was left! Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. We were very happy to have our daughter and granddaughter home for Easter, but hubby got a severe gout (we think) attack on Easter Sunday, which sent him to bed as he couldn't put any weight on it at all. We were at emerg that night until 3:30am, with no diagnosis except that it could be gout. He's been in bed in excruciating pain ever since, and I have been his nursemaid (something I was not really cut out for, but doing my best!). I got the kids home to Toronto OK. Someone is coming to take his blood tomorrow so hopefully we can tell more what's happening. So needless to say, I haven't been much in the mood for anything "normal" lately, and I missed last week's WOYWW, but I have been in my art room a couple of times over the last two weeks.

Here it is this morning:

And some of the art journal pages from the last few weeks:

And, Easter pics! Even though hubby was bedridden, we continued on, and had my niece over for Easter dinner as planned, and the Easter Bunny came as he does every year!

We had a lovely array of appetizers, charcuterie is our favourite!

And then Easter dinner - bacon wrapped ham, scalloped potatoes and green beans Almondine. My niece brought cute Easter cupcakes for dessert. Jasper loved her Easter Basket and her giant Easter Bunny! Jasper is now crawling everywhere!

Mittsy kept a close eye on everyone from her perch!

Earlier that day we went on a walk in the woods, saw lots of Canada Geese and Mallard ducks in the water. It was a lovely day!

Well, that part of April was lovely, full of great memories, and now we are here, I'm looking after my bedridden hubby who I hope will heal quickly enough to be able to go to Jasper's 1st birthday party in May. 

I hope everyone has a great week, I will now go and catch up on all that I have missed! Inky and Mittsy say "Meow!"

 Another Wednesday, time to peek at each others desks and projects! If you want to know what WOYWW is, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html  and all will be revealed! 

Happy April!! It seems Spring is finally here, we've been having warmer than usual temperatures lately, with lots of sunshine! I can remember Easter Sundays of the past, when Easter came early, there still being a lot of snow outside, and the kids would hunt for their eggs in the snow! I guess Global Warming is at work.

Here is my desk today. I've been working a lot on my BUJO to get caught up for April.

And here are my BUJO pages

I haven't quite finished my gratitude page, and I have 2 more weekly pages to do. Hopefully it will all be done by the time I have to start May!

The Easter Bunny did come to our house, as he always does, kids or no kids! The chocolate pile is much smaller this year, as I am trying to lose my last 25 lbs...but he still gave me my favourites!

We had our deviled eggs on the porch in the sunshine (until we got too chilly!) made by hubby,

then a lovely crock-pot ham with pineapple, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. I used frozen sliced potatoes for the first time, and it worked perfectly! Will definitely get another big bag of potatoes for the freezer!

So, we have a nice lot of leftovers to enjoy!

Dessert was carrot cake, made from carrots I had shredded a few weeks ago, and that worked out beautifully as well...but very high in calories :-( so only one piece for me and I gave away most of the rest of it.

It was a very nice Easter in spite of the fact that our DD, who usually comes for Easter, wasn't here for yet another year, thanks to the virus. 

I think the nicest part of spring, besides the weather, is the sound of birds singing early in the morning when I open my front door. I'm really looking forward to having my coffee outside when it warms up a bit more! There is a Robin who sits in the top of this tree and torments Inky, who is watching it from the upstairs window. Anyone who has cats knows the sound of a cat watching a bird...

Inky had a run-in with Mr Fox yesterday, but she is very fast and scary and Mr Fox had a very surprised look on his face when I came out to shoo him away!

And here is Inky in her favourite spot once again...

And I just remembered I forgot to do an April 1 photo from my office window, so here it is a few days late...

That big dark spot is the cat's hammock, empty at the moment...no leaves yet, but no snow either!

Well, that's it for us, Inky and Mittsy say "meow, watch out for the foxes!" and I say have a great week, stay safe!
