WOYWW 525

525 is that correct? How the weeks are flying by, they say it is a sign of old age.

This is our weather warning for today so I think it is going  to be a hot one also the UV is forecast at a very high 11. I cringe when I see the lobster holidaymakers walking around.


 So to my desk someone asked me for a man card so this was the result and not to waste left over bits I made a smaller one with gardening tools in the pocket.
My left over bits of card box has overflowed and that also needs a bigger box. Hate throwing bits away.


The desk contains the normal bits and pieces. I am thinking of starting on the dreaded 'C' cards this week it helps when the weather is so hot!
Off now to Knit and Natter group only about six of us last week, many of our members go back to family in the UK for the summer - can't stand the heat. Some of us have to grin and bear it, not really you just change into summer mode and do jobs etc accordingly.

Now to link with  Julia our WOYWW host

Have a good week everyone.

WOYWW 524

Another week gone by don't think my feet have touched the ground. Talking of ground this blog links up with Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ where we all display our workdesks on Wednesdays.

Well to be truthful this week mine is Tuesday as won't have time in the morning for photographing and writing.

Not very exciting but all the equipment is there.



Now this second photograph is more exciting. I work in our local cancer charity shop when needed although owing to health reasons haven't been there for a few weeks. My friend said they had a large number of rubber stamps donated and was I interested, you bet I said and this is it, stamps, punches, cutters and rulers. Most of the stamps are Christmas themed but hey ho Christmas is just around the corner.

So I leave you with two photographs of the full moon appearing through the clouds this week.

       

 Hope you all have a good week.

WOYWW 523

Hello friends, Gosh this is a busy week, just when I should be slowing down for the heat of the summer.

Firstly my live-in friend has his family here from the Czech Rep. although they are staying in an hotel, you still feel as you have to be with them. It is hard work for me because they only speak Czech no English or Spanish. 

Heard about a new Chinese shop that had opened in the next village so had to go and explore. These are just a few goodies I purchased. Most of my embellishments etc come from our vast array of Chinese shops. The flowery headbands (1€) I cut the flowers off and use for decoration. 

 Wonder if anyone else is finding this happening? Last week I had to go and buy bigger plastic boxes that I store my different card, papers, etc. in. The reason I seem to be accumulating more stock. Mustn't be working fast enough that's all I can say as I am sure I haven't purchased any for ages.

Below are two snoods/cowls I knitted while watching tv in the evening. Thought the white one was a little short so the green in a little longer. Only takes one ball of chunky wool.
Must away I have a doctors appointment and then on to sewing group this morning.

PS the weather here is beautiful.
