WOYWW 876/96: Cream Crackered

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.

Thinking of Neet and wishing her a continued recovery!

Not so much a desk as a partial round up of Saturday's escapades.  A fabulous workshop with Tilly Tea Dance followed a a recorder afternoon and then off to pick up Mum and see my brother playing oboe in his first concert in many years with the City of Lichfield Wind Band.  The standard was amazing!

I must admit that I am only keeping up with my #dailyatc2026 challenge by making four on a Sunday.  I am far too exhausted after work to even think about going out to the shed.  So far I have been asleep by 8pm for the first two days of work.  Wednesday is my heaviest day with 5 lessons, a form and it is also my duty day.  I also move between 5 rooms unlike a Monday and Tuesday where I am in the same one all day.  Hoping to visit at the weekend if I don't have too many samples to make.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 875/95: Back in the Saddle

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.

Thinking of Neet and wishing her a steady recovery!  Hope she had a relaxing birthday.

My desk shows the results of my needle felting workshop with Tilly Tea Dance last week and the programmes for some of the shows I have seen recently.

Most of you may have gathered by now, but I will be back at work next week until the end of the school year.  I went in on Monday to sort through books and I did teach my Year 5 class, but won't be starting officially until next Monday.  I will be working Monday to Wednesday so I shall be pacing myself.

Meeting a friend

I am fully intending to keep up with my #dailyatc2026 challenge, even if I sometimes have to make a couple in advance.

I did manage to cast on the front of my jumper at Mum's last week and knit a couple of rows, but I don't know how much I will get done over the next few months.  I have a full day on Saturday - another Tilly Tea Dance workshop, recorders in the afternoon and then picking up Mum to go to my brother's concert with the wind orchestra.  

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 482: This Time Next Week...

This time next week I will be at work so my posts will be written on a Tuesday evening and posted early before I leave the house.  I thought I 'd better write this post today and show you what my desk actually looked like this morning.

I took a wide shot for a change.  My workspace faces the door of the shed (covered by the red curtain) and as you can see, I have space for friends to come and join me.  My heat gun is close at hand as is my rotary trimmer and place mat ready for my coconut lattes.  In the background you can see the birthday flowers from one of my sons still going strong.  I also have a second hand Rolodex that holds slightly larger than ATC sized card (4" x 2.5").  I have tried out some mini art work on there and and intend to fill it gradually with technique cards and mini art pieces.  I am grateful to Louise Withers for the idea.
I am just waiting for Eva to arrive as we are planning a couple of day's crafting before we go back to work next Monday.  To link up with other desks, please visit Julia on The Stamping Ground, who keeps us organised and hosts the link up.  Less than two weeks to the crop now so we look forward to seeing many of you in person soon.
