Sadly I'm back to writing this post on a Tuesday afternoon ready for joining in with WOYWW on a Wednesday morning. The half term simply flew by. I spent a happy week in my craft room, finished off with Friday at the NEC (see HERE for more).
My desk shows the start of a sample for a show with Maria next Wednesday, sorry I can't show you more yet, but I will try to remember to include a picture of the finished piece next week.

As you can see, I finished the Advent book that I started at a workshop with Maria Moorhouse in time to give to #2 son and his girlfriend. They hosted a spectacular family firework party at their house last Saturday which we all attended. He was super safety conscious and had even purchased the electronics necessary to set the fireworks off remotely. The children in the houses round about enjoyed it too, looking through the bedroom windows.
Happy WOYWW everyone, I'll be round to visit in the morning as I will be at work late today (meeting night).
Welcome fellow deskers to my weekly contribution to WOYWW care of Julia at The Stamping Ground. Here desks from all around the world can be ogled and envied, messy ones, tidy ones and everything in between.
As you can see, I have been doing a little more work on the Advent Book that I started at a Workshop with Maria Moorhouse recently. The matchboxes are all now glued together, ready to turn into the daily drawers of the book. Maria's workshops are well worth attending. She has one each month in Preston, one in Catterick and the one I attend in Shrewsbury.
Over the last three days I have been sharing the full projects from my sneak peeks last week. I shall be sharing the last two tomorrow and Friday before I head off for an early train to the NEC. I won a couple of tickets and decided to go on Friday as it is half term. Hope to see some of you there.
Finally, the latest additions to the extended family. My parents adopted some kittens and their mum from a cat rescue last month. Pickles (top) is mum and the two kittens are Pearl(L) and Pixi (R). They have settled in really well. See you all soon. I will have some time to visit today between samples as I am not at work this week.
