WOWYW 495

Woke this morning and found I have no water (nothing new here in Mojacar I always keep 5lt bottles in stock) apparently none along the playa so must be a big burst somewhere.
So my table for this week is not a work station the table is back in position after being used for the fair last Saturday and on it are a few replacement aprons and some more Christmas ones cut and ready for sewing. The card on the right is from a mornings crafting with a friend, she has so many cutting machines and dies she asked me to go and try them. Really enjoyed playing with them all.


I had a successful fair and the sun shone (well it does on the righteous) this was the view from behind by stall just after setting up at 8.00am (That's our ass. priest walking by).

So on to my next fair on Saturday, indoors this time, with carols and the school band, absolutely love the Spanish bands so different from the British ones.


Hope you all have a good week.

WOYWW 494

Good morning all, Well after a week of storms I think we are back to our usual autumn weather although it is a little colder than previous years.


A good excuse to put some heating on and get down to crafting - if only. That C time of the year is fast approaching and the first of my fairs is this Saturday am I ready the simple answer is NO.

This is my table this morning lots of stockings marked out ready to cut out at the sewing group. These are to make - wait for it - doggy advent calendars. Perhaps the finished result next week.


There is that dog photobombing the picture again!

Sorry short and sweet this week will be around to call on you later.

WOYWW 493

Wow only another 7 and WOYWW will reach the 500 mark. That must be some achievement.

So for the 493 week what has been happening?
My desk at 6.15 this morning.

It has been a week of mixed crafts mostly card making but still have only about 100 ready for the fairs. My knitting on the left, have to put it there over night or the dog will chew it. Someone asked about a white gollywog so that is what I am knitting. (Note the little bag Jan (LLJ) I have found it most useful I bought tape measure, needles, scissors etc especially for it so I only have to pick the bag up and hey presto have all to hand. Much appreciated Jan.

I had a go at the strips of paper cards this week and this is the result (see Shazsilverwolf post). Not a very good photo because they are packed in cellophane bags and the strips are metallic paper.
Very quick and easy to make thanks Shaz.

Haha just noticed Barney's head top middle of the photo, he probably thinks what is she doing up at this time. Well the answer is the cat slept on my bed last night and when the fishing boats go out at 6.00 she wakes up and wants to leave the bedroom.

That's me for this week but leave you with this I saw on fb.

WOYWW 492

Another week another blog, where do the days go?

This week it has been a cold one duvet has gone on the bed and a little heating during the evening.

Work wise here is a picture of the table taken earlier in the week - I decided to sort all my wool stash. Didn't realise I had so much, I ran out of time so what to do as it had to stay on the table overnight. Remember I have one large puppy who loves to investigate, chew and swallow things. So one large cover over it prevented him from touching and all was intact in the morning.


I have knitted a few new born hats this week, these always seem to be needed and are quick and easy to do when watching TV.
 
And of course my faithful companion QC manages to find an empty corner of table to sleep.
Finally a picture of the sewing/knitting group I go to on Wednesday morning, definitely more natter than knitting going on here.
The jumper is now sewn up correctly was a mistake taking it with me as had to undo it when I got home. I am thinking of embroidering some snowflakes on the front of it now to make it more Christmassy.

That is me for this week, happy crafting whatever your craft is now to link up with Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/  Thank you for your visits last week I will be around to read all at the weekend. Ani
