So? What's On YOUR Worktop this Wednesday?#646

 Morning WOYWWers!  Welcome to another What's on Your Worktop Wednesday.... pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in! 

I've already diecut a few tiny Christmas trees

 I still can't link to Stamping Ground, unless I turn something on or off on my laptop and about 1.30 this morning I couldn't get into the 'thing' on my laptop to turn it off or on...I had a 'try again later' message. So...a short post this week me thinks! Sorry about the photos, it looks like there's a sea mist drifting in! I need a new one. Camera that is... Hint. Hint.

This is what's on my desk at the moment... (A close up to hide all the mistakes I've already done) You can just see in the picture, that I'm trying to build a ginger bread house to fit inside a card that pops out when you open it.

I've got the book on how to do it and Sam Calcott's video is on my phone playing away, so, with any luck I should have it done by this time next week! My new cat mug is still on my desk from yesterday but it has been washed up and there's fresh tea in it... honest... and a spoon. (I must remember not to poke my eye out!) We seem to have been doing a lot of running around going no where lately so not a lot of time for doing 'real crafting'. We visited Lady Pam... took her a hot Gregs sauage roll, she loves them. She had a visit from one of her carer's  with her baby...

Isn't he cute! We've visited the Vets but just to collect more pills for Jinx, and I've visited my brother a few times who's now staying at The Macmillan Cancer Unit in Christchurch. Haven't seen the grandkiddies in ages and was told this morning that Niamh's last test came back positive and she has to self-isolate for 10 days. It seems to me, this is getting worse and closer! Lock-Down 3 coming up. So that's it for now. Have a Happy WOYWW?! Tomorrow's freebie should be up later... Thank you for stopping by! 

T is for Tuesday and Tea.

Life Is Too Short... Mr Jinx the cat's Morning Pills!

 I did have some TeaCakes but must've eaten them at some point, or maybe I didn't have any real ones and just dreamt I had them. This is my T for Tuesday post hoping to link up with Bleubeard and Elizabeth over at Altered Art...

Hoping to use these Chicago Screws for joining some 'book pages' together!

That was last night. I was hoping to post early but a quick nip out to Hubby's Man Cave found me  skidding across the grass, falling towards the solid door of the shed,  quickly reaching out for the shed door handle, hoping it would break my fall....it didn't- the door swung open, I hit the ground and the step into the inside of the shed with (more than) a yell! I'm sure my back made a cracking sound! (probably the creaking door!) 'What the Hell...?' yelled John... Mr Jinx was there too. "Wod yoo doin' down there Lyn?" I thought I'd slipped on a slug or a snail and got up very slowly (as quickly as I could with Hubby's help) and was relieved to see  that I didn't have any squashed ones stuck to me and there were just a few long skid marks across the grass.  Inspite of having  grazed knees and elbows, sore tummy, back and boobs, I was alright...Touch wood! So Good Morning Tuesday!

Here's my new T cup... love it. Bone China by Spotted Dog. Purchased  from a Charity Shop, was originally a boxed  set of two, its partner according to Amazon had dogs on it and the pair cost new £15.99.  So a bargain! Wish the doggy one had been there too!

 Took a picture of the new climbing wotnot in the village. As my Teacher always said...could do better. But I bet the little ones love it on their way home from school.

Where we stayed while I wasn't 'here'. Polperro in Cornwall. We also stayed at The Jamaica Inn for one night, made World famous by Daphne du Maurier's Smuggling Novel.

 This picture is still the same as when I was three! (only in colour!) It may have rained most of the time, but when the sun shone it was lovely!   I had a great time hunting out bargains in all the Crafty places I could find! 

This is in the caravan, just some of my crafty holiday goodies...so it was worth getting soaked in the rain! And one last picture... (probably from Face Book)

Have a great super crafty week...Happy Tuesday! I'm now off to have my breakfast! See you all later! Thank you for stopping by!

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie. Spooky Cats -Closed

 Here's this weeks freebie...two little cats out Trick or Treating... or they could be dogs!  I've done a background one too...now I can't find where it was saved... Hubbys been using my computer and everything's in the wrong place! So if it's not here, check it out later.

 A comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by!
  Sorry CLOSED!

Happy WOYWW? #645

 Happy WOYWW! Phew! At last I've managed to make a post! (Apart from Mondays)There's not much going on on my work space this week, as I went a bit crazy while we were away and have been trying to give the new crafty goodies a new home, it's taking me ages! I've been putting my smaller dies into the magnet pockets I showed before...  and also I decided to use the A5 presentation  display book from a few weeks back for my slighly bigger dies, it's a bit bulky, and I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but for now, it does work. Turning the pages of both books is a lot easier than going through a Really Useful box/boxes hunting for a die.

 

Short post this week as I haven't even started on this weeks freebie and now that I'm home and my laptop and scanner are talking I hope to make some thing for Halloween... or maybe not! Have a Happy WOYWW. And if you have no idea of what I'm taking about... click on the link 'Stamping Ground', and join in! 

 Just had to show you this....just too cute! I bought a dog one for Karen who looked after Jinx while we were away. 

Happy 13th Anniversary Emma and Tom!

 Evening Crafty peoples, hope you're all fit and well! Here's an anniversary Card I made for my daughter and son-in-law. I didn't put any numbers on the front this time, just incase I got it wrong again... well... once the numbers go past ten, it's really hard to count on your fingers!

 This is a  61/2 by 61/2  card and layered up with slightly different sized toppers using papers from 'The Works'  and some of my new stitched edged square dies from The Range and Trago Mills. I've also embossed some vellum, (Emerald Crafts, Lyndhust, also half price at the time!) and some matt miri card (Hobby Craft) using a brand new 3D embossing folder, still sealed on the packet, by Crafters Companion for only 50p! from the crafty charity shop in Lymington.  ( I love bargains!) The flowers and gems were from my stash. So you could say, this card has already travelled a very very long way! These photos below were taken by my phone and, I think are a bit sharper... although, my new glasses go darker when I've been outside so that could be the reason why I'm thinking that!

 And yes...the gems are purple here; I changed them for clear ones later. I'm not sure if I like the purple gems better or the clear ones. I've also added, some Stickles Glitter and a Wink of Stella.

That's it for now...one last photo of Tom and Emma on their wedding day... Thank you for stopping by!

Just A bit Late for... WOYWW #644

Well, I'm back from where I've been...and finding myself a little rusty, as it didn't stop raining!!  It's WOYWW and although I did a post for last week, I was without internet for most of the time so it didn't get posted...It's still Wednesday so this is what's on my worktop this week! No crafting, instead while I was away, I had a lovely time shopping in crafty places, The Works, Trago Mills and The Range. There was more goodies but I've been playing with them and finding them new 'homes'... 

The best bargin was the tropical dies... they were £10 down to £2.50 and they even had their own magnet sheet. Then there's the magnet pocket folder. It's supposed to go in a ring binder case, instead, I just fixed the pages together with some little brass screws, (from an old storage box) That's it from me! If you want to see what's on a few more work tops just click over to the Stamping Ground!  And Join in! Thank you for stopping by!

How about A Saturday Freebie!?
