I've at last finished doing granddaughter Niamh and her friend some notelets, (I'll blog about them later and add a link) and a little mini album for Niamh (and I have a horrid feeling I didn't take a finished picture) using the papers on the top there. I've also been making boxes to put things in, to post off. Done that. Our village Post Office has gone, it's a long work to the next village or a short drive into town... no way José! So, we drove to the other village. And then the power stearing went on the car... just like that, not like that, but, just like that.
I've also covered another broken biscuit-box to house my stamps in. I never realised how hard it is to be so busy! And not actually have anything to show for it!
Got this die from a charity shop before Christmas, it was only 50p. but, what is it...just a bit of diecutting frilliness, anyone know? I've been pushed out of my seat by the said Mr Jinx who looks a bit shocked (He had to climb over boxes of stuff to get to me coz I'm using the floor again.) That's it! Come and join in WOYWW over on the Stamping Ground! Bye for now!

Ouch, hope the car repairs aren't too expensive. Great bargain with the die. Meow to Jinx. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #?
ReplyDeleteKnow the feeling Lyn. Busy, busy but nothing to show what your have been doing. There is aways tomorrow. Keep safe. Elaine
ReplyDeleteLots of sorting going on there, it seems to be a common thread for this lockdown among us crafters! No idea what the frilly die is but it looks like a lovely doily combo to house a title / sentiment of some sort over the top? Maybe? Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #2
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool dies and such a bargain! Lucky you. Who cares what it was intended for? It looks fun to use. Good luck sorting the car! and I think your cat looks less stunned and more... predatory. LOL! Cats. They are a msytery,,,
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW to all!

I've found out what the die is, and it's missing a bit, but as you say, who cares! I think I'll SteamPunk it!
Deleteso what was the die? And what bit is missing? Do share next week! (Otherwise it's like asking someone how you keep an idiot in suspense, and then saying "I'll tell you tomorrow" hehehe)
DeleteMy usual problem is that I start a project and then think of another and start that and before you know it there's lots going on and nothing gets finished. Interesting die but can't think what the original plan was for it. Sorry to hear about the car and hope it gets fixed soon. Hugs for Jinx too. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x16x
ReplyDeleteMr Jinx looks as he knows who rules the roost in your house! He’s defying you to get him off his perch there, lol! I’m glad you’re having fun creating and sorting, the notebooks sound sweet and I’m sure will be loved greatly.
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 6 xx
Hi Lyn. Ouch! That sounds like it could be an expensive garage bill... Hope it isn't too bad! I'm with Lisa Jane - no idea what that die really is - but... I'm sure your lovely creative brain will work out something to do with it - and for only 50p. The colour of the die possibly suggests Spellbinders?
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Hope you get your card sorted soon and its not to expensive. trust the cat to want to get near to you and any cost, bless Jinx. I am the same can work all day and get nothing done
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe, Lilian B #12
Rotten luck with the car, hope it can be fixed quickly and without too much (!) expense.... take care and stay safe. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteMr Jinx looks as if he has found space to rest. I frequently think Ihave spent hours doing something with little to show until the project is finished. Have a great week Angela #17
ReplyDeleteSorry about your car! I hope that is resolve without huge expense. I'm trying to cover old cigar boxes to hold my Washi tape collection. I completely understand what it feels like to work and work but not have a creative project to show. Sometimes life is simply about maintenance!

Hi! car trouble is the pits! ~ My car hadn't moved in a week and guess what moved in to make a home? a rat!! did 1500 worth of damage :( Another Covid outcome ~ remind everyone to still use the car and not let it sit too long I guess ~ I hope you get out your inchies and play ~ Let me know! Enjoy your week ~ Love, Karen #27
ReplyDeleteI loved your quote of busy so busy but not having anything to show for it. Ain’t that the truth. Have a great week! Dorlene #31
ReplyDeleteFab post - a busy desk, certainly! Shame about your car - mine has cost a fortune in the last 12 months but we can't afford to replace it just yet. At the moment we have no heat pump for the heating/air con and have been quoted £350 for a new one! Yikes. Need to source a second hand one from somewhere...

That's lock down all over - very busy but nothing to show for it! I love the die - it looks a little steampunk to me in a wwird sort of way. I do hope your car feels better soon without too much of a medical bill. Love Mr Jinx - he looks like he's really owning that spot now he's got it!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, stay safe and well,
Diana xx #23
Lots of activity going on there - and I'm sorry to hear about your car problems, which I hope don't turn out too expensive. Jinx is a beautiful kitty! I nearly squashed Lily a lot worse than that the other day when I nearly sat on her!! I managed to stop myself just in time when the settee didn't feel quite right! Ruby always likes lying on top of her because she's so soft but I don't think she'd have survived the full weight of Shoshi even despite all my weight loss lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #15
Thanks for your return visit, Lyn, and your episode of the single grape made me laugh! Typical! I hope you didn't eat it all at once. I thought I'd ordered 3 courgettes once, and they sent 3 packs of courgettes - far too many for me to deal with, so they had to go back! Tesco is pretty good at returns with no questions asked.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are struggling to train your new computer to your way of thinking. What my dad used to say about anything that didn't behave, you need to take it down to the bottom of the garden and give it a good thrashing to show it who's boss!
Our kitties tell us what they want in no uncertain terms. They have completely different voices for different things, Ruby especially. She makes the most unpleasant noise when she's demanding feeding - as hard to ignore as a crying baby!!
Have a great week,
Shoshi x #15
Every day seems like groundhog day! A favourite film by the way!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the car.
Enjoyed reading your about your crafty projects with kitty intervention...
Happy WOYWW!
Stay safe and keep well.

I certainly know what you mean about being so busy with nothing to show for it! Feels like my default setting. The die is pretty, think it needs to be embossed to show up all the detail - looks like a spellbinder to me but no idea what it might be for!! Sorry to hear about the car what a pain! Our PO is only up the road and I still moan about going there. Happy bleated WOYWW , stay safe, stay well, Cindy #19
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Jinx! Aren't you adorable! Groundhog Day was when my DD moved into her new house, wouldn't that be a horrible thing to do day after day! I know the feeling of being busy and not really having anything to show for it. But you do seem to be busy, and that's great! Stay safe and warm, Lindart #33
ReplyDeleteGive that beautiful Jinxy some love from me! Cool die! I would never know it was missing anything; looks great just the way it is! Hope you are having an awesome week.
