 Hello peeps, hump day again so that means sharing our desk again with the lovely Queen of desks Julia!  On my Workdesk this Wednesday is another card in the making.  The other week I carved a small scene and did a few prints of it at the same time and its perfect timing as 2 friends of mine have recently moved to pastures new (hence the field and fence I carved in the lino!) so they are perfect for new home cards.



My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are "Lawyer Wanted Thousands, Crazy Star" - well there has been a few similar news stories over the past few weeks along these lines in real life so to be honest when I picked the cards out randomly it made me think of some of the recent news stories from over in the states.

On the right of the desk are my flesh coloured isotonic pressure gloves for the rheumatoid arthritis, I have used these for a few years now and found when I am typing a lot as it helps to wear them.  When I am doing heavier tasks like ironing etc the hospital gave me gloves with metal bars in to help steady the wrists and they help but I cant wear them for too long.  At the back of the desk is my stress ball (purple) for my hand exercises and also I use it behind my shoulder to roll up and down the wall, it helps and the physio recommended it (they mentioned a tennis ball but this is currently all I have and it seems to help so all good).  At the back is also my mouse, earphones, highlighter etc all dumped from work and pushed to one side so I can craft for a bit instead.

Happy crafting

Hello peeps, well I am feeling a lot better, still a long way to go with my neck and shoulder but finally managed after almost 6 weeks to get an actual physio appointment so am hoping that they can help as the medication is not great to be honest.  Could be a LOT worse but it is frustrating and has really slowed me down and limited what I can do!

Anyway, back to crafting.  On my desk this week is my 365 journal, I know, get me, ahead of the game and getting it ready before the next month has even started!!  Let's be honest that does NOT happen often, BUT I am very aware that work is crazy busy at the moment and is only due to get more busy so I thought I would take a rare moment to try to get ahead of the game and start Octobers page.

My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are "Hubby Convict Sues Judge"!!!!  Well, that really is an attention grabbing headline, that is for sure!



 Thought I would also update on the latest make from the allotment.  This time 3 jars of piccalilli.  Last year was the first time I have ever made it and hubby really liked it so I made 3 large jars this year and hopefully it will mature over the next few months and taste as good as last years.

So, Whats on Your Workdesk this Wednesday?  Are you sharing?  Go on, you know you want to!

Happy crafting

 Hello peeps only a quick update for What's on your workdesk Wednesday as still got trapped nerves in my spine so typing is difficult and slower (which is making work very difficult but hey ho could be worse) .

This was my desk a couple days ago as was making a lino print card for my mate who has just bought a new house.


Didn't have any printing ink so used some acrylic (to be honest that's my go to substitution) and i added a stamped greeting and a glass flower.  Was pleased how it turned out


My 'man bites dog' cards this week are 'hubby ready to strikes heiress' - again no comment on that headline! 

So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?
