Happy What's On Your Worktop Wednesday! #741

 

Nothing really, I've put the ironing board away but Wow!! It's WOYWW #741!? It'll soon be time to start making swap ATC's again!  It's sunny here. I've been trying to clean the drive, weeds (and some flowers) have been trying to grow, and all the gaps between the bricks hold mossy bits. I have had  couple of goes, but now! I'm equipped! Full length waterproof leggings, wellies, long rainproof coat and googles! I had ago on Monday...and along with everything else, I got covered with clumps of sticky mud. Wish me luck! 

My crafting is a bit hit and miss this week. I keep trying things and they don't seem to work. At last I did get out my geli plates, which I bought, ages ago and followed Ceri The Crafter...link on last post, on one of his challenges he was in.  See my attempt above. (a bit crumpled as I sat on them) I chose near-enough the same colours. I only used my 'scrap paper', so, really didn't do too bad I spoes for my first go. The tissue wipe-ups were probably better!

First go too, at trying to make a 'zine', one tutorial made one making pockets. The other made one that you kept folded out. She numbered all the pages....So did I....but my numbers weren't anywhere where hers were... (So you'd know the front from the back and which way up they were supposed to be)

 Next go was, a journal made from a 12x12. (My last one wasn't too bad.... (a quick look at the waterfall card inside) but this one (Below) is sooooo easy, why do I keep getting the bit where you fold it all up and glue the two halves together to make a side pocket, wrong! Third try? Haven't opened it yet...meanwhile, The lady on Youtube has finished hers and is starting on another one....

Luckily, I didn't use the papers I want to use to make the journal, but some from The Works...(Christmas ones. I bet you guessed) This is the third try...the others are in the bin! 

Then after a long phone call with the bank, which wasn't too bad...and another one with the DVLA...which made me cry and cry (but luckily, they'ren't going to lock me up or fine me) both John's bikes are now SORN.... Anyway...after all that I was really in need of some happy mail...and a quick hopeful, but not expected, look in my mail box and there was a nice little crafty package. (Not going to tell you who from, cos some people will moan at me!)   I've been hunting for years to be able to put my small stamp sets....

....with dies, into neat little pockets, with magnets. I've now bought, quite a few, and these are just perfect.😊

So that's what I was still doing at 3.30 this morning! Now, to start on the bigger ones!! Happy WOYWW!? Have a great week....off to wash the drive.... I wonder if a snorkel will help!? Thank you for stopping by!
