WOYWW #808

 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.

Once again writing this on Tuesday, Pickleball starts again tomorrow! It is a rainy fall day today, they are threatening snow on the weekend, but I can do without it!

Here is my desk this morning:

I had just finished making 2 more Christmas cards...I now have 5 cards in total.
I'm sure you know how to make these cards, but just in case, here is how they started:


I used watercolours and Posca Paint Pens to finish them off. Here are the three I previously made:


I wanted to try a couple of nighttime scenes, but I think I will stick to the daytime scenes! I also might add some sparkly snowflakes.

I have also finished a stage of my masterboard. Last week I showed you the collage, this week I stenciled over both sides.



Wait until you see what I do next week!

I can't believe our next WOYWW will be in December! Time flies! We are getting ready for our annual Christmas Party this weekend - our 50th if you can believe it!(I have a hard time...) These are all people from Uni, the boys all lived in the same house, and us gals married some of them! I will leave you with a picture of Granddaughter Jasper, getting excited about Christmas - her Mom has the tree and decorations up already!



Have a wonderful week!


PS: I don't get a chance to visit WOYWW until at least Thursday, so check your comments on the weekend! I usually try to visit everyone.

  Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group!


Happy March! Winter is on it's way out, Spring is on it's way in! That doesn't mean we have any less snow, we just had another big storm come through, but we do know that the weather will slowly be getting warmer and not colder!

Here is my desk this morning, I've been doing a lot of stenciling and cutting out the stencils to use on my journal pages.


These are my new stencils that I just got last week. If I could afford it I would get them all (they are from the US and shipping is as much as the stencils, and all in USD, which is considerably higher than the Canadian Dollar 😢) But anyway, I am happy to have the ones I  do have. I spent much of my week stenciling with watercolour, cutting out, and doodling on them. But before I started that I made these 2 pages:

You saw this one in it's beginning stages last week, I added some stenciled cut out flowers, I made the houses happy, and added a text that came from an Instagram post I saw, where a 3 year old said goodnight to her family, then on her way to bed was overheard saying this. I couldn't resist! We should all say this to ourselves before bed!


This one uses a fancy border stamp that I have and a couple more cutout flowers, but her face looks kind of scared!


And here are the stencil cutouts I've been working on, these are my favourites so I made a lot


I thought some ravens might be nice, I still have to doodle


And these feathers used a Dollar Store cheap stencil, I love how they came out!


This is the page I made yesterday, the fancy flap covers the lady. I still have to make her face, I will try and make it happy! The word is also one of Megan Quinlan's stencils.

My DD, DSIL, and DGD are all back safely from Costa Rica, but I love these final day photos!

DD loves her jump photos, she's so good at it!


And here is the fam all together, what a peaceful lovely photo!



And finally, an end of February gift from our Hibiscus


All the more glorious with a background of snow!
Mittsy did try to eat it yesterday as it was right on her cat perch...so I had to move it!

Have a great week! Mittsy and Inky say "meow!"

Hello to you all! We have had such beautiful weather lately, I'm very grateful for it!

Here is my desk:


We are going on a trip to Nova Scotia so I thought I would make a small travel journal. I haven't used a travel journal in a few years now - nowhere to go! 

I finished my Fodder Book






and now I've been busy making more watercolour fodder - I love making these!



In the garden, the plant we overwintered has finally decided to bloom, and the Glads I stuffed into a pot are starting to bloom as well! I'm a bit worried I will miss the full display while on our trip...



Mittsy is still helping me make the bed as usual. As quiet as I can be when getting the sheets out, she's always right there!


I will leave you with the spot that I go to every morning on my walk, my "halfway sit and enjoy the lake" spot!



I hope you all have a lovely week. I may not be able to post next week, but I will be thinking of you all!

Inky and Mittsy say "Meow!"
