Must put one thing straight before I continue, many of you have remarked on my animals at the top of the page. Unfortunately Morse, the dog is no longer with me he died nearly 3 years ago, but I still have both the cats, Kavanagh and QC, they are brother and sister and can always be found not far from each other. QC (the short haired) is the one that sits on my desks. Yes, I loved the actor John Thaw hence their names.
Next thanks to all who visited and left a comment I think I broke my record with 21 comments.
Now to why we are here. This is my desk on Tuesday evening, if anyone can see a size 3.75 knitting needle on there please tell me where. The piles are slowly in danger of toppling over and then it will be clear up time. (Sorry no prize for spotting the needle though).
I have made a number of birthday cards this week and now a start on some Easter cards. The cards between the punches are backing papers I made with the shaving foam method trouble is there was no yellow/green Eastery colours.
Sometimes my desk looks like the bathroom with talc, make up brushes and sponges, shaving foam, toilet paper, etc.
Nothing exciting to report this week, the weather has been quite cold and windy here in Spain, hopefully will be better next week at least my freesia bulbs are beginning to bud perhaps will be in full bloom next week and some photos, I adore the smell of them.
Hope you all have a good week and I will try and read all your blogs even if I don't have time to comment on all.
And so to link up with our host Julia at

good luck with your Easter cards. We are due a spell of wet/windy weather in the next day or so.... not good! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteMorning Ani. Sorry - can't see that darned knitting needle - got one you can borrow though, if that helps! I like that Easter card. I've made some as well. I found a beautiful stamp of the cross with some MacIntosh roses growing up it. So have used that several times. Most effective.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Good luck finding the elusive knitting needle. Happy WOYWW Sarah #23
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic pet names! I love that picture so much. Sorry, I couldn't find the needle, I was too busy trying to remember what that size might look like as I used to sell them. Good work with the Easter cards - I have still to start some time to get on with that. It's been warming up in UK for about a week now. We're in double figures WHOO HOO! Probably not for long mind, as Storm Doris makes her way through. Doris, I ask you. My Honeysuckle has started to bud. This could be the year she flowers in full, keep your pinkies crossed! Have a great week - EmbroidRage #2 x
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, lovely to get to 'meet' your cats- I'm a total cat person! Smiled at you asking if anyone can see the knitting needle- it's usually the case that someone else can spot it instantly, whilst you've been looking for ages. Have a great week, hugs, Shaz#5 xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that photo - so cute! When our dear dog was alive he and the cat barely tolerated one another at times, no matter that he outweighed the cat by a lot!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been busy with cards! I haven't been able to get up the mojo to make any. Sorry, can't see the knitting needle. Hope it shows up soon!

I can tell by your desk that you've a bit of fun crafting - making Easter cards already - oh but it will be here before we know it.
ReplyDeleteHmm, can't find your knitting needle. I always find only one at my house. When that happens I put it in a jar and hopefully the other one will find it's way to join it!
Happy WOYWW
Peace, Kay (35)
Hope you find your needle - I'm sure there is a black hole in my stamping room where things fall into! LOL! Looks like you have a very busy and creative desk! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #37
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks very busy, hope you have found the knitting needle. Tracy #15
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, I clicked on the photo for a real close-up but I'm sorry to report I did not spot the knitting needle ... hope you've found it by now. Love your pet's names. I'm a great fan of John Thaw too and find myself watching reruns Morse whenever possible. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #30
ReplyDeleteGReat names for the cats! I can't see the knitting needle, but it'll be safe in the last place you look, for sure! love the cross image that you've got there, and I'm fairly sure that no one will mind a beautiful hand made card that's not entirely in traditional Easter colours!
ReplyDeleteSo funny to ask if we could find your needle. LOL. Have a great week! Dorlene #39
ReplyDeleteHey busy lady, send me your email address and I'll forward the shawl knitting pattern on to you

Lovely post! Your kitties are so beautiful and I'm glad you've still got them, but it's sad that your lovely dog is no more. Lovely references to John Thaw! I love him too! Morse especially. Lol at your knitting needle! Hope it turns up. Thank you for your lovely comment - I'm in no hurry and shall rest for as long as it takes to get better. It's been a rough ride.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,

Hi Ani, thanks for the visit to mine. It's been really windy here today in fact I believe there are parts of the UK were there have been some nasty accidents. Loving your kitty friends. You mentioned the drawers which I do find useful as I keep the things in there that I use regularly though they don't stop my desk getting in a mess! Happy belated woyww and thanks for the visit to mine, Angela xXx 18

Oh there's a thought, Easter cards! Like the butterfly with the cross. Thanks for the visit this week BJ#10
ReplyDeleteow can you not have lovely weather in Spain - the same way as we had cold and wet weather on our recent three weeks in sunny (not) California I guess. Hope it bucks up for you.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely things on your desk and what a busy bee you are with all that card making.
Hugs, Neet xx 8
