WOYWW

Hello peeps, hope you had a fabulous Easter, Passover, Vaisakhi, or just time out etc over the past few days?  In the UK it was unusual a bank holiday and weekend where nice weather was forecast!!!  Most unusual I can tell you!  So, needless to say it was filled with gardening and sorting stuff out (as there just isn't much time with the pay the bills job and things taking me a bit longer with my rheumatoid arthritis) BUT it was successful as I borrowed from Share Bristol (a great charity where you borrow tools etc) electric screwdriver, drills etc and it enabled me to fix my garden gate and also make a raised bed!  On the downside was finding a rat had eaten a hole in the side of the shed so we had to clear the entire shed out to check no nest and clear the droppings!  But, it was lovely weather so it was all piled up on the wee lawn (goodness knows what our neighbours thought!) and I already had the tools borrowed for the week so I could fix it (we need a new shed as this one is over 10 years old!).  The positive is that the shed is now nice and tidy inside and I have room!!  Unlike my craft room, which at the moment is a split between day stuff, mending hubbies slippers (hence the glue in the blue box and the clips on the right)  a quick sketch and general stuff!




However, I did get a chance to make a card, this is from a speedball lino carving I did, a bit basic but I quite like the simplicity of the hills and fence.



 So that's what's on my workdesk this Wednesday?  What about you?

Happy crafting

    1. not too bad, my hands arent great with my rheumatoid arthritis but I find the "easy carve" ones really soft to cut and would recommend. Obviously not as crips but not too bad.

  7. I can’t work out what that big grey thing is…a mandolin? a wall mount for an appliance? It’s definitely not a slipper mending tool, I’m familiar with glue guns!! You sure had a productive weekend!
