WOYWW 902/122: Enjoying Retirement

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

I am finally taking some time to work with my backlog of Clarity Club stencils, stamps and Groovi plates from this year and feel as if retirement is kicking in.








I won't get to visit Mum on Friday as my car is going in for its annual service and first MOT on Friday - my annual health review is tomorrow.  I have two theatre visits this week - tomorrow to see a Queen tribute and on Friday to see Emma Kenny a Forensic Psychologist.  The AGM for our branch of SRP (Society of Recorder Players) went well on Saturday and the draft minutes have been sorted and all the new members added.
Hoping everyone is doing a little better this week.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

#dailyatc2026: September So Far

I have completed the next part of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the first half of September.


My craft shed of course!




Perhaps I should have chosen cups and saucers as I live in the Potteries.

The number matched the date as well!
One of the latest Timestamp Creation stamps.
Happy New Year.

I snuck in an Indigo Blu stamp.
Stamps drawn originally in the SHAC.
I used Posca pens for a brighter colour.

A Blast from the Past with Clarity Club Stencils

2021 was the first year that I decided to use each Clarity New Design Club stencil as it arrived to create a card or tag.  Here are all the projects together with links to the step by step instructions.

March 2026 New Design Stencil Club

 I haven't worked with my Clarity new design club items since coming out of retirement in March.  Now I have properly retired for the second time, I thought it was time to do some catching up - here with the March Stencil offering.  I decided to do my own bijou version of Jane's project.

Happy Birthday Brother

 My brother celebrated his birthday recently so I thought I would share the card that I made for him.  We are a cat family so I made use of the Wee Cat stamps from Clarity together with the Time to Party Way Marker stamps.
