WOYWW 414 10th May

Where on earth did this week go to?
Nothing on my work desk this week as it turned into a hectic week probably because I was without a car the previous week and had a number of visits etc. So my desk looks the same as last week but I have cleared all the tapestry wool away.

This weeks project when I had a spare few minutes sit down. It is a drop stitch scarf knitted in variegated wool obtained from one of our many local Chinese shops. I am wondering about the length, have read that it should be a least the height of the person, so with this in mind only another 6 inches to go, then I will fringe it. Love the way the colours have turned out.

 

Promise I will have something more exciting to show you next week as at present I have a free week, but then it is only Wednesday.

So to finish my faithful companion QC asleep by my side on the computer desk.

Now to link up with other deskers at Stamping-ground hosted by Julia.

WOYWW 403 (22nd February)

Good morning all,

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

WOYWW 396 4th January 2017

Good morning Wednesday deskers.
I honestly don't know where the days go to hardly seems a week since I was here, must prove something - I put it down to having a busy life style.

My desk this morning is all tidy ready to start the new year productions, the trouble is I have so much other stuff to do my desk is taking not even second place but probably tenth place.

On the other hand I have started a little sorting of my wool stash, but not got very far.

Notice the Christmas lights up the stairs still flashing, must make a start at taking down decorations and tree, wish I could keep the lights up though, love to see them twinkling. Maybe will keep them until this weekend as it is Three Kings
on Friday, here in Spain it is celebrated as the children receive presents. After all it was the Three Kings that brought the gifts to Jesus.

We are having some lovely sunrises at the moment, this photo is not great as the sun was a pure red ball, but I did try my best to capture the moment, you have to be quick as the sun appears on the horizon and within a minute or so it is high in the sky. Camera always at the ready.

Hope you all have a great week.

WOYWW 381

Well I am a tad late in posting today, trouble with my car last night, it wouldn't start, had to leave it where it was parked so this morning first thing I was back trying to start it. Success but then drove to the garage for them to check it out and they said it wanted a new battery so all is well again and I have my wheels. I am lost without my car as our transport system consists of a bus that goes along the seafront and up to the village and a very occasional service that takes you to the next town. No trains or metro services.

Oh my gosh another Wednesday it will soon be Christmas!!

Well my work desk is still my temporary one underneath the ceiling fans, but must admit the weather is beginning to cool down and the nights are much more pleasant enabling one to sleep. Maybe next week I will be back in my workroom and sitting at my original work desk. My cat will be pleased as there isn't room for her on this desk.

The desk this week shows my attempts at making some 70th, 80th and 90th birthday cards with the Clarity letters and numbers stamps, much in demand these days, Only a few more months and I will be hitting one of these birthdays ending in zero, but then age has never mattered to me and in my younger days I sometimes had to do a quick calculation to check my age.

I love this time of the year nearly all the tourists have gone and the residents get their little seaside town back to themselves. Many expats can't stand the heat of the summer and go back to UK but they will be returning shortly. Most of our clubs and organisations will be opening up again so plenty to do in the winter months.
I will leave you with some photos I took last Friday morning round about 7.30am of the beautiful sunrises we get this time of the year, The photos were taken about 2 mins apart so you can see it doesn't take long for the sun to rise, if you aren't quick with the camera you miss it.

So goodbye til next week and I will now link up with Julia at Stamping Ground.
