WOYWW 804/24: And Breathe

 Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks that is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), started over 15 years ago by the amazing Julia and entrusted to me to keep going.  Please do join in/visit the desks of the great group of people who are part of this blog hop.

My desk shows the ingredients ready for the Craft Along on Thursday evening with Barbara Gray on the Clarity website (www.claritycrafts.com).  I just need to get the brayer that I reserve for paint out and my brown craft mat.  There is now a section for Clarity TV where all the shows and SHAC/craft sessions are in one place.  You can watch live or catch up later.  With the demise of Create & Craft it is so important to support craft businesses directly.
After a bad week last week, this one has been much better.  We had a family get together on Sunday.
Three generations of both sides of the family. #2 son took the photo with his drone. Tommy (the dog) was not impressed.
I finished my pumpkin for the staff challenge - there were loads of entries.

I am making the most of half term with lie-ins and crafting!  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Goodness, I am so behind the times - taking photos with a drone. Now that is something I never thought about. So glad I am not a sunbather (in summer of course)- just imagine a drone coming over and me sat there!
Love the pumpkin, have they judged the challenge yet or is it not like that?
Hugs, Neet xx 1

Looks like a good family get together for you, just what you all needed. Glad the week has been better for you. Looking forward to your next colour theme for your November challenge! Happy WOYWW Helen xx

I had no idea C&C was no more. Not that I’ve watched in years but still surprised. I will have to check out Clarity. I did like the few shows with Barbara I managed to see, but we just haven’t had a way to watch those channels in years. .. or I just never bothered to sort out the how. Love the drone photo and the collages, as ever . Curious how you will use then, store them, display them…? Do tell. Or did I miss it over the weeks?
Happy WOYWW

That's a great photo of the family, bet it was a lovely day. Loving the new collage pages too. The schools here have gone back this week, I thought they had broken up early this year for some reason. Get pleanty of rest and have a good week. Happy woyww, Angela x11x

Goodness, a drone photograph is such a good thing...all those squashed together selfies...it means your extended family can really comfortable extend! I did try to work out who's who, but after your Mum and your sister, of course, I was stuck!

You have such an amazing assortment of stickers. Great collages. I have seen several Barbara Gray tutorials. I don’t watch any of the crafting channels, it took too much of my time 🤣. Seriously, Create and Craft was better years ago, they had more tutorials. We don’t have any craft shops locally, there were several, but they all closed down. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13

Demise of Create & Craft??? What have I missed???
Lovely to see you all ready for a Craft Along, loving the paint colours too - I have a Inkintense pencil in Payne's Grey after a course I was on back in May, never knew the colour existed till then. Loving your Autumnal stickers on your pages this week. Drone photo is AMAZING, how wonderful. My family is just me my hubby and son so we don't need a drone LOL. Super pumpkin too and glad you are making the most of half term. Hugs BJ#14

Wow, that drone shot is fantastic and what a great pic of you all! Even Tommy! I’d never have thought of taking a photo with a drone but there’s no reason why not really! Love the pumpkin and hope you have a good week.

What a great photo! Drones are the "thing" now I guess! Very useful! I see a wonderful family, how lovely! I like all your new pages, but the one that resonates the most today is the "Hope you feel better very soon"! I love the fox too! Our foxes seem to have disappeared for awhile, which is fine by the cats! Glad you are feeling a bit better. Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
