WOYWW 469

That was the week that was. So many posts to read and I managed them all and commented also. I didn't take part in the ATC's this year so made the promise to visit all and comment.

So we start a 10th year of WOYWW wonder if this is the longest weekly blog site?

Another busy week - forgot how much work a puppy is, but he is coming along great considering I have only had him two weeks. He walks well on the lead but is nervous of other dogs and people, sits and gives his paw on command and sleeps all night and dare I say it no accidents.

My desk this week, 'C' cards all cleared away (have made about 40) but was asked for three 50th anniversary cards and ordinary anniversary cards and like always wanted yesterday. Only another 50th to do now.


This was the moon shining over the sea last night about 9.30, couldn't wait for it to go dark when it would light up the sea. Also the colour isn't too good as it was bright orange. I have an all singing all dancing camera but only shoot on auto, don't understand all the other numbers and letters.

Ok that's me done for this week, enjoy the coming week and happy crafting whatever it is.

WOYWW 468

Wow don't know if I am coming or going, just forgot how much work a 5 month old puppy is.

Have had to put all my craft things away every night as he stands as high as the table and just take things off. This is a photo of my table packed up for the night and hopefully out of reach of one four legged creature. That's the trouble with having an open plan house I can't shut him in anywhere.


This is what I have been busy with amongst other things this week. Yes more C cards.

My TV work this week has been more 'cross in your pockets' but Barney seems to have taken a liking to  tapestry wool and this was the result when I left it on the chair to go and make a drink.
Hope you all have productive week and now to link up with Julia at stamping-ground.blogspot.com

Sorry I am not taking part in ATC this year. but congratulation Julia for 9 years of WOYWW.

WOYWW 467

Here we are again, happy as can be all good friends and jolly good company.

What is on my desk this week, well I don't know if I dare say. It begins with C and ends in s.

I have had to make a start if I am to supply the C cards this year as I don't have any made to give me a start and will be looking to sell about 150 to 200.



You will have noticed I picked up the rubbish from the floor and put it in the bin.

I have increased our family by one this week - a four and a half month old puppy
I have called him Barnaby - Barney for short. QC the cat has accepted him but obviously she is the boss.

                                                                                                                   
    Sorry this is short and sweet, have now to take a dog for a walk and do my blog all before going to my sewing group. How busy are Wednesdays.

So now to link with our host Julia at stamping-ground.blogspot.com       If you want to know what it is all about go over to her site.
Thank you for reading and if you would like to leave a comment it will be much appreciated. Ani

WOYWW 466

Here we are again where do the days go. Someone once told me it is a sign of getting old when you don't know where the days go.

After a very busy 1st May weekend and the holiday in Madrid that made for a great number of people travelling to the coast for a weeks holiday all is reasonably quiet again now.

My work table remains the untidy mess from previous weeks as I try and keep up with the demand for cards. Here is the dartboard card I made, took me a while to measure out and colour (hands not as steady as they used to be) but having made one I was asked for another one, this took less time. Might even make another for the stock.



The darts are made with cocktail sticks and washi tape and behind the dart board is a old CD.

I have now been asked to make a 50th wedding anniversary card so hence the heart not too sure what to do yet. I feel a trip to the local Chinese shop as most of my embellishments are silver. (Any excuse)


Here is my faithful companion sat at my side while I type this. She still misses her brother but is going out on her own for longer periods and hopefully the warmer weather will encourage her to bask in the sun.

So now to link up with our host for WOYWW Julia at                            www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com Please visit some of our pages and see what we get up to over the week also if you feel like leaving a comment please do so.

WOYWW 465

Good morning all and back to normality today, it has been holiday weekend here I know 1st May is the holiday but give the Spanish chance to extent and they will. Saturday I went out and couldn't park the car anywhere not even abandon it like most Spanish do. Never known a May holiday weekend so busy.
Hopefully they will have all returned to their work this morning and I will be able to park when I go to Knit and natter.

So what is on my work desk/table this morning nothing very exciting I have had a bit of a tidy up but have only made two cards for an order. I have another to make for a ninety year old darts player!



My TV knitting has been these new born/prem hats. can't decide whether they are too big or too small, but no doubt they will be gratefully received.



This appeared on fb during the week somehow I could relate to it.


Have a good week and now to link up with our host Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com
