WOYWWW 459


Good morning fellow WOYWW this is going to be short and sweet this morning.

My desk this week consists of cards those I made earlier and some even earlier. I am now in the process of applying inserts ready to sell at our monthly Dames meeting. I normally leave them blank and finish off when needed alas no more,



I really must apologise about the link problems I have been having I have deleted all and relinked to if it doesn't work today I think the only way is a new blog page started from scratch.

Must get on as I am on the bus this morning to go my sewing class so have to leave early to walk down the hill and the bus only runs once an hour. Can walk down but no way back up.

Will try and see if the link works now at stamping-ground.blogspot.com
Apologises if not. Could be a new blog page for me next week.

Will read some of the posts when I get to sewing and others up to the weekend.

WOYWW 458

Good morning WOYWW another week gone and a busy week for me. Retirement just what is retirement?

The good old paste table has gone up again, so much easier for cutting material and for the over locker.
I have made 25 dog bandanas for the dog rescue charity, mostly thru the collar ones but some did ask for the tie ones, so there are a few included.


My week seems to have consisted of eating food, from last Wednesday - the church lent soup lunch right through to yesterday when I went to a Women's club and the fish and chip lunch menu was to good to resist.

Thursday, The Dames in Spain celebrated International Women's Day and we hosted a lunch at a local beach club.

This is my table waiting for the food and drink to be served! On Friday my friend and I took the floral centre piece to an ex Dame who is now in a home. The perfume from the lily of the valley was unbelievable and filled her room with the perfume. 

Really need to stay at home this week and make some cards if I am going to supply some groups with them.

Ok now to link with WOYWW stamping-ground.blogspot.com

WOYWW 457

Good morning all sorry I was absent last week, I honestly don't know where the week went.

My work table (paste table) this week contains doggy bandanas. A call came from the local dog rescue asking for the person who made the bandanas could they make some more. So I have cut out about 20 and began by sewing the red ones. Using the over locker makes things a lot easier and quicker. Nothing much more to report on the work desk apart from a drink made from what looks like bits of broken bark translates on the packet 'sweet fruit'. I am always on the look out for different drinks, I don't drink tea or fizzy drinks so apart from no more than 2-3 coffees a day I drink water. It can become very boring.











My other photo this week is of course QC she is sat under a new light I purchased a few weeks ago and believe it or not she has discovered by tapping her paw on the base the light goes on and off. Cats I don't believe it, it's not as though she is a kitten she is 13 years old.

This next week I am going to have to make another batch of cards as the Dames in Spain (similar to WI) have asked if I can supply them with cards to sell. I have never made for selling before so may have to up my game.

I have a busy rest of the week, sewing/knitting group this morning, then on to a church soup lunch. Tomorrow is International Women's Day and the Dames in Spain are hosting a posh lunch, four of us are giving an accounts of women who have made a difference to the world, still have to do mine. Then Friday I am going to see a lady who belonged to our church and is now in a home where she is the only English person, she doesn't speak Spanish so feels very isolated with not even English TV. Pity I don't know how to put some English programmes onto DVD's as she has a DVD player.

I think Saturday may be a free day but Sunday my friend and I are going to our sister church, then on to a local amateur theatre production of JB Priestley's When we are married in the afternoon. There is not much chance to see theatre productions here especially in English.

To end two pictures from FB the first one is amazing, well at least I think so.


And this on is a funny, hope none of you have seen him looking through the car window this past week.
