I almost didn't link up to WOYWW today but Shoshi gave me a little nudge behind the scenes, so here I am. The heatwave has returned to the UK, but thankfully it won't last long. I survived going to the office yesterday and won't have to go in again until Friday, and by then the heat will be gone. And if it rains, so be it - I'll take the rain over the heat any day!
I snapped this photo of my desk just a few minutes ago after tidying up a bit. I call it organised chaos:
Some eagle-eyed deskers might spot a stamp carving tool. I had to buy a new one as I have no idea what happened to my old one and I had some urgent stamp carving to do. This one's much better than my old tool, anyway and it wasn't expensive. I gave it a good trial run:
Then I used these bits and pieces in my scrap journal / glue book, along with some of my bleached papers from last week:
Previously I had made these pages:
My journal is quite full now - it only needs some finishing touches before I can do a flip-through:
I've also made these random pieces with more scraps and by-products of my experiments (this first one was actually on my desk last week, but wasn't yet completed - I added the fish as an afterthought):
These images came from Marta at
Maremismallart as a free download in exchange for a voluntary donation. I've been using them in my image transfer trials.
Oreo set up camp on my craft room chair again - I've found him snoozing there in the mornings for several days in a row now - he's still looking a bit sleepy here:
What else? Oh, yeah, we went to
Witley Court last Saturday on our customary, end-of-summer family outing. Witley Court was a grand Victorian manor house that sadly burned down in 1937, but even the ruins are spectacular! Here are a few photos:
Thanks for your visit! I'll be around soon! xx
