WOYWW 582

Sorry about the mix up last week, don't know what happened, only that I linked up from my mobile later in the morning. Let's hope this week is ok.

It's been a little hot this week and news is it is going to get hotter.


Nothing much going on deskwise this week but I have put my other table back up as some friends wanted some masks. I made myself a couple out of broderie anglaise material as I thought  lighter material would be easier to breathe through and they are, so am making some for my friends now.


The Christmas stockings are the beginning of some Advent calendars, still hoping that the Christmas fairs go ahead. That seems to be the extent of my work this week, not very exciting. Pattern for masks cut from corn flake box, far right old bread board I use for crafting and an ironing board with an old tea towel on top and my little travel iron always good for crafting purposes. 

After my visit to the doctors last week I had an ECG on Friday and then saw the doctor again on Monday only to be told I have a blockage in one of my electric branches (whatever that means). I now have to have a full blood test, so watch this space. At least I know why I have been so breathless recently.

That's me for this week will try and link up with Julia at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ before I leave for my sewing group and save the hassle of getting it wrong again.

Good morning just a quickie this morning as before sewing group I have a doctors appointment. As if Wednesdays aren't busy enough these days..

And for my desk this morning??
Yes it's gone have put it away as tomorrow have the tv man coming to set up a new online system to watch uk tv. Have given up with the satelite as we are on the edge here and it is constant buffering.
So didn't dare let them see all the dust, so thought it better if I did a little cleaning. 
Still not got the extra wools I need for my UFO but haven't put it away as I am determined to finish it.
The other desk is still at the bottom of the stairs, mostly holding all bits and pieces.
So that is me for today appointment 9.00am so better get a move on.

Join us all at stamping-ground.blogspot.com.es where Julia plays host.
Have a good week.

Sorry don't know what is happening but Sarah informs me this page is not linking up.

WOYWW 580

Yet another Wednesday we are now over half way through the year and what a year, I know for a fact I will never see another one like 2020.

It has been decided by the Andalucian government that the wearing of masks is to be compulsory nearly everywhere. The exceptions being when eating or drinking but must be worn as you enter restaurants and bars, swimming in the sea and pools. There are going to be some funny suntan marks. The reason for this is because of a small increase in covid cases, which is understandable seeing we are accepting holiday makers into our towns.

I must apologise for not getting round to commenting last week, but I did manage to read most of your WOYWW.

I now have an even busier Wednesday, as I have sewing/knitting group in the morning, Ladies meeting in the afternoon and now a quiz in the evening. Our quiz night used to be Monday but we have changed our bars so now Wednesday is the night.

It has been a very hot week here so I have remained indoors making my Christmas cards, all I have made now have inserts, packaged and priced all ready for the November fairs - if they are allowed to go ahead.


Single cards
                                                Packs of 6 cards

Not 5 minutes before these three photos were taken you couldn't see any desk/table surface at all. Yes three work stations but when needs must.



Hopefully in a few weeks time I will be able to put all card making equipment away and start on some Christmas sewing projects.

Ok that is me for tonight it is after midnight and need my beauty sleep. Will link up with you all tomorrow at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/

Wow it is getting hotter and hotter here in Mojacar, but we haven't the influx of holiday makers as normal for this time of year. Only at weekends do the Spanish appear and I must admit they are very careful about social distancing and hand cleansing. 

Although there are flights bringing people from the UK I think they  mostly own property here. A number of our hotels haven't reopened yet.

Enough of that and now for the reason we are here, what is on my workdesk tonight/today. Well firstly the floor and two bags of wool that a friend dropped off all sorted and ready to take to sewing/knitting group tomorrow. Along with one cat and the legs of one dog. This seems to be their place of the moment under my work table. 








Image may contain: table and indoor

The work on top of the desk is still Christmas cards, I am building quite a stock just hope that by Christmas things will be normal and we will be able to have our fairs.


I am getting used to this new blogger but not the photos part of it.

I suppose practise makes perfect.

Managed to get my hair cut last Wednesday a blessing in this heat.

After sewing this morning I am taking my car for its ITV (MOT) hope I can understand the testers instructions in Spanish normally I have the garage take it for me but have had to fit in with the appointments available because of the lockdown. 

Now to link with Julia our host for this fantastic Wednesday happening.https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/

Hope you all have a great week  and remember to stay safe.

WOYWW 578

What a silly place to put the new post icon, after clicking on various icons finally found it.

Had a play with the new blogger at the weekend don't really think much of it as I cannot place photos where I want them. Also after placing photos the font reverted to black and ariel.
Anyway here goes for this weeks WOYWW 578.

It has been full scale ahead with Christmas cards, hoping perhaps the vision of snow etc might cool me down. Temperatures have been very high here this last week, but thankfully no more fires.

Over the weekend I managed to make all the inserts for the cards a job well done.



How I wish I could get these two photos side by side.



                                    Lots of cutting out of many candles.





Mass production in progress, layering with metalic card. 

Some of the finished cards packed and priced ready to go into store for another few months. 
So that is me for this week, I am now going to try and schedule this to publish during the early hours, then tomorrow will link up with Julia our host at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/  Well managed the link address ok.
