WOYWW 530

Another week gone they say you are getting old when the weeks fly by. As you can see from the photos below I am still in the C mode of card making. I have about 50 ready for the September meeting of our Dames in Spain. If last year is anything to go by that won't be enough. I have been trying to use all bits and pieces that I have. Still have all the Christmas stamps that I got from the charity shop to try out.

Stack of Xmas cards

You may see lots of double sided tape on the desk, that is because I went to the dentist on Tuesday (lost a filling eating peanut brittle ice cream) and a new chinese shop has opened in the same block so had to go and have a look. I have cleared my local shop of tape and he said he wouldn't have any more til after the summer.

 Couldn't resist this of Barney he stood there when I took the photo of my desk and seemed to say 'what about me'. This weather he sits under the desk in front of two fans I have on. We are still experiencing highs of 30+C but it does feel a little cooler in the night.

Good morning all, I know you are now suffering with the heat in the UK but here it is unbearable. My fans are running, the curtains are closed and doors wide open which doesn't help crafting light but when needs must. The air con is reserved for evening and night time.

                

 So my desk for today, yes those dreaded 'C' cards, well thought it would help me cool down. Like most of us I only need a small area to work.

I received these last week via a friend's friend in the UK who was travelling back to Mojacar. I had no idea (well a little) what they were for, but thanks to Shaz and Sarah for their knowledge I now know. Haven't used them yet as I think the cutter needs replacing.
Went on Amazon.es to purchase some gold & silver adhesive stickers after going through the pages and choosing, I get to the check out only to be told they can't be delivered to Spain. So why are they on the Spanish Amazon one might ask. My daughter has now order them from Amazon UK and is having them sent direct to me. Sorry but can't understand the logic.

Had a trip to the hospital last Friday to have a mole removed from the side of my face so I am now supporting with the help of my specs arm a big white plaster. The doctor didn't think it was anything to worry about. The hospital is about 55km inland and when we got out of the car the heat was terrible, it is always roughly another 5 degrees warmer inland and 5 decrees colder in winter. The blessings of living on the coast although there are no other blessings during July and August everywhere is packed with holiday makers, nowhere to park, loud villa rentals, and slow restaurant  service. It's a good excuse to stay in and craft and that's what I will be doing this next week.

Now to link with our hostess Julia http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/  if you want to know all about us go to her page and perhaps we will hear from you next week.

Good morning from a still very hot Mojacar. Hence nothing much to show this week.

Remember the Cross in your Pocket well I had a call for some more, so while watching the Mens singles tennis final I made these. It's not many but the match was too exciting.

 Have also made a few more cards this week but nothing to show.

This funny made me laugh.

That is me short and sweet this week, I am off to my knit and natter group, although I am not knitting much this weather, will probably take some more crosses to do. There was only about 6 of us last week, most of our members go back to the UK for the summer and for others it was just too hot to venture out.

Have a good crafting week and will not link up with our host Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com

WOYWW 527 or is it 528 no 527

Another very hot week here in Spain so not too much activity.
This is my desk today (well Tuesday night actually).

I am planning 'C' items for my stalls in November. One can never start too early.
I have an idea for Christmas Owls along with an owl poem I found online. So what you see are some owl templates I have cut out, (save all cereal boxes for making templates), can't decide which to use yet, on the left is the felt I purchased today. a 40 x 60 piece for 75c.

  The above is a contribution from QC the cat who just came to say hello.

Trying to replace cards I have sold seems to be an unending task. People tend to buy 3 at a time. don't think I will ever  build up a big stock.

        

This appeared on my fb page last week wonder how many of you like me say yes that's my wardrobe.

That's me done for this week hope you all have a good week, thanks for your visit and hopefully I will get around to visit yours before the weekend.

Well this week has been hot, hot, hot. A couple of photos showing just how hot.

 This was on my Kindle and is the area of Mojacar where I live.

 And this one was taken from fb and is the temperature in the city of Almeria - glad I wasn't there.

So with all this heat not much crafting has been done,
I have managed a few cards but having two fans blowing, papers go everywhere.
Thought I would try some colouring in prep for C cards as I find it relaxing.
So my desk last night, love my water pencils as I can achieve shadowy effects. Lots of cutters and score boards some of which I have inherited from people here who have given up on card making. 

So that is me for this week short and sweet. Now to join in with all the other WOYWW bloggers. If you have a work desk why not join in just go and link with Julia our leader at stamping-ground

Will try and keep up my record of last week and visit all before the weekend is over.

So next week if I don't appear you know what's happened to me, if I'm here I will have to try harder for next time they visit.
