What's on your Worktop (Wednesday) #773 on A Thursday?

 

 I'm sooo late, but you wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you, would you? No. So?? Sssh! I won't say a word! I'll just join in over on Stamping Ground and no body, arm or leg....will know! I started making these  tags with pockets and then tags to go on the side of your journals using the invisable paperclip idea, inspired by SevenPlazer's Mass Make March... and I was thinking making them to separate my stamps and dies...

 I'd already made some dividers with tabs so I could find the die/stamp I wanted, (putting them into alphabet order) but then, when I bought a new set that didn't go with any of my categories, I'd make a new divider with a tab, but there'd be no gap for it...so, me thought if I could have 'removerable' tabs using the hiden paperclip idea, then I could just shifty them along a bit either way... but some happy mail arrived  and I started making little hole reinforcers...Then I got waylaid as the doctor's surgery rung and asked me to book another blood text. (had one on Tuesday) Why? said me. Something about my white blood cells or my red plates (???)  where a little 'abnormal'.  I understand abnormal, that's me at the best of times. 'Maybe you've not been well' sez the lady on the other end of the phone. Yes, a couple of weeks ago I thought I had really bad covid again (I didn't) Could I get a doctors appointment?? No. Anyway... 

I'm wandering off topic... where was I? Oh, Yes. MadmassMake... and to answer Crafting with Jack's question from last week, the tabs are folded over to make a pocket that goes down the middle... and the others are folded like bags with  concertina sides. (Ideas from SevenPlaza) I just folded loads of pages up and glued down the sides (massmake you see) and haven't actually finished any yet. I found 'The Complete Guide to Calligraphy' book in a charity shop for a pound (my bargain of the week) and just love all the writing and pictures! 

That's it from me! I have some cards to make. We weren't having an Easter Egg Hunt this weekend, as last year I bought/made loads of Easter things and no body came, they'd all gone off on holiday. But suddenly, yes, the kiddies want an Easter Egg hunt! So, hope you all had a Happy WOYWW!? And a Happy Easter! Thank you for stopping by!

It's Wednesday, and Here's A Freebie!

Here's This weeks Freebie!! A house in a tree, or a tree house. We were always making tree houses or camps in the woods, or dens out of haybales. One treehouse I remember was brilliant, as you could only get to it by swinging across from another tree! Kids today are missing out! GO HERE to download. Thank you for stopping by!

No,it's Not Tuesday, but it's still T stands for Tuesday!

I'm  going to back date this T for Tuesday  post, as, (as always) I'm very late! Maybe it will give me an extra day! (or not!) I didn't make it to Hobby Craft on Monday...again I took a wrong turning and ended up in the middle of nowhere. once home, the oven man turned up and made a splended job of cleaning my oven. Note to self. It is NOT a self Cleaning Oven! Then  yesterday, I mean, today, seeing I'm pretending this is Tuesday, after my blood test, I had another crack at setting off to Hobby Craft! And this time I went the right way! Seeing I hadn't had any breakfast, (that's why there's no pictures of that) there's a huge garden centre next to Hobby Craft, so I nipped into their cafeteria and had a hot Chocolate with toast and marmalade.

 Then!! Across the car park to Hobby Craft... I knew what I wanted, and it was half price too, I could spend my birthday Voucher!Yay! But...could I find anything I wanted? No. Zilch, Nothing! No half price things left! I drove down the road to The Range, and again, nothing caught my eye in there either. That must be a first! Then I popped into Home Bargains and....spotted The Easter Bunny mug.... and later, once home, I did have another Hot Chocolate with squirty cream, as you can see in the top pictures... 

Couldn't find any Kombacha last week, they keep moving it about!  But as you can see, I managed to get some this week. It doesn't last long! It's made with black tea leaves and green tea leaves...  

 

 Plus, there's always room for a bacon Toasty. That was my Tuesday...Have a great rest of the week! Pop over the Elizabeth and Bleubeard and join in! Wednesday's Freebie should be coming up next! Thank you for stopping by!

It's not Wednesday but It's on my Work Top #772

 

 I know it's not Wednesday, but I missed out Wednesday coz it got me all 'bothered' and I decided, for reasons only known by Fairies and Unicorns, there would be no Wednesday this week!! So!! This week, it's What's On Lyn's Worktop Thursday! Now known as WOLWT...it has a certain ring to it. (But Stamping Ground sounds sooo much better!) Above is this months 'Die Cutting Essentials' magazine #114, that's just popped through my letter box, umm, only, two of the dies were missing. (I have two happiness's instead) I keep most of my magazines in these folders along with their matching downloaded papers and bits of die cutting ephemera and of course their 'freebies'.

Hopefully this'll be a very quick post. I just don't have the mojo. Got out of the house yesterday, was heading for Hobby Craft to spend my two vouchers, but somehow ended up, at The Works. This A2 Sketch Paper pad caught my eye for £1. And yesterday...I mean Tuesday, you may have caught a glimse of some tags. I used some of the hand written pages from one of these 'Diary of an Edwardian Lady' books (another bargain of last week)

And made this tab...not finished yet. I have flowers, somewhere, to add to the front as well as an eyelet and the tag insert needs some decoration too.
Blogger's still sending me around the block to load up pictures, but I'm getting used to it now, so hopefully, faster too! Now, if you want to see some real crafting pop over to Stamping Ground and join in! Thank you for stopping by!

T Always Stands For Tuesday!

 

  It's still Tuesday here so, there's still Time for this weeks, T stands for Tuesday. So link up over on Altered Book Lover! Spring is on it's way! My Forsythia is in full bloom. I bought this for a £1 many many years ago, one long thin stick of a plant...twice it was eaten by rabbits (the pet variety...not the wild ones!) So I moved it here and then at least three more times I tried to dig it up again.  Anyway....below it's the boring breakfast. I'm not sure what happened to my wizzed up fruit, I've been putting a bit on my poridge instead of sugar. In the background, an empty tube of Pringles...I just can't bare to throw it into the recyling, I could turn it into a 'fairy Tower', or something...

Then there's my box of pills...at last I've had a text from the Doctors (and a letter today) saying I no longer needed to take the tiny cancer pills. Maybe now my hair will start getting thicker! Then there's the homemade Loganberry and Fruit Explosion Jam, you saw last week. I'm nearly halfway through that already. (Yum)... Then the little spider die cut... you see, this is why I never get anything done! I start doing useless things right in the middle of breakfast. My gardening gloves are there to remind me, if I don't start dithering about, I still have time to add more garden rubbish to my green garden bags before they are collected. Needless to say....I didn't make it. Next month, I have to start using my garden waste bin.

For lunch, I had a bacon sandwich, with added cheese and tomatoes. In the background you can see that once more I'd drifted off into dream land and made a tag (with side pocket) to go with a 'postcard' (made from postcard washi-tape)the bacon was a bit over done! I like it crispy!

My bargain of the week, for under a fiver are two more 'The Country Dairy of An Edwardian Lady' and another 'Curious Gardeners Almanac' so now I have some to cut up to make folios, tags, pockets, materboards etc and other  crafty stuff and one to keep. I really couldn't cut them up before.
This popped up on my phone today.. Ages and ages ago, I judged a little dog show... I mean...there were big dogs too! 

And talking of dogs. Me, Dexter and Duke ignored the rain, and went out chasing balls! I came back covered in mud! Well, that's my Tuesday! What's your been like?! Pop over to Elizabeth and Bleubeard and join in! Thank you for stopping by! 

Last weeks Freebie HERE.  And my Birthday freebie HERE

Happy WOYWW!? #771. The Pile of Paper Grows!

 

Hello WOYWWERS! I know I did this post earlier...but it vanished! Where did it go!? Does it matter? Not a blinking sausage! I'll just type it out again, only this time, I'll try to get the smelling right....Blogger is still being a pain about loading up pictures. So I am a bit slow at getting things downloaded/uploaded to here. 

   Above, I'm in the Kitchen. I added more Stamperia papers, using Birthday money and Hobby Craft has sent me two £5 vouchers! Thank You! So I'll be popping over there at some point...

 I made some little filos/folders a while back, but didn't like the fact that some of the papers are upside down, so have been trying to work out how to cover them with out wasting too much of that lovely paper... anyway now that I have some more papers and toppers, I'll have plenty to play with! 

The very Top picture, my desk hasn't changed that much...I haven't tidied, just added to the pile..although I did manage to print out some more lables and used the card wrap-a-round from some pineapple tins (or it might've been tuna) There's some in that pile somewhere! (yep, right in the middle!)

Below are the labels I've done so far, just gotta ink them. I like to add them to the card, makes them look nice and sturdy, and if you hang them over the edge of a page there's still colour other than white on the back! Stacy's have come out a bit blurrrry this time but that's probably my printer, as the others are okay. I'll just print them out again. (and give the printer a good talking to!) 

 So that's it from me on this #771th WOYWW day! It was my birthday yesterday so scroll down or go here and email me if you'd like a freebie,  'Down The Dell' digi. Thank you for stopping by!

As the last challenge, this challenge will go on until April 12th, so plenty of time. This would've our 49th wedding anniversary. (I was 12) I'm sooo mad with him, coz he promised me we'd get to 50! Anyway, it's that easy! Just Email me, and I'll send you this 'Down in the Dell' digi. dragonsmoore at googlemail dot com
