Hello peeps, hope you are all well and been able to get some crafting in? Well, the lovely Queen of desks Julia has been running this weekly get together for 13 years! Thanks to Julia over the (i think) roughly 11-12 yrs i have taken part i have met virtually and physically some amazing friends and learnt so much.
Anyway back to the desk, been a bit absent recently what with work and the allotment there hasnt been as much time for crafting or blogging (apart from a trip to Birmingham to see Blondie after 2 years of waiting! It was brilliant). On my desk this week is my "so called" "one sketch a day" book, this is the first sketch in over 3 weeks! But its a sketch so that is something! Also the pens and brushes are STILL on the desk waiting for me to start the "watercolour for relaxation" course in the library book I blogged about previously! Looks like I will have to renew the book again as STILL havent started! To the right of my sketch book are 2 new badges I bought 1 says "Trust me I'm left handed!" and the other "I may be left handed but I'm always right!!" I couldn't resist these! Having been called "cack handed" throughout my childhood and forced at school to write with a right handed fountain pen and then get told off for scratching the paper as I tried to write with my left hand!
So, that's all from me, what's on your workdesk wednesday? Later will be a couple ATCs i will be making to mark the occasion

Happy 13th WOYWW Kyla! I’m still so glad that our paths crossed via Julia, the Crop and the odd sewing day!! Long may that continue xx. I enjoyed seeing your sketchbooks, I tried to something similar but am rubbish at keeping up with it!
ReplyDeleteI shall be raising a glass to all the deskers this evening!

Your sketches always make me smile and your juggling hare is no exception LOL! I will hope to maybe see you at the crop in the fall, and thanks for introducing me to MBD. I still love seeing the cards every week, even if I have my own set now. My son will get them eventually (as he is mad keen on games of any kind) but not quite yet...
ReplyDeleteHappy 13th year of WOYWW!

Love, love, those badges! I have always claimed that Lefthanders are more intelligent as they have to work out how to use right handed 'things'!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm sending my ATC to you and, looking at my list, I don't have your postal addy. Would you email it through to me please?
Have a good day

Hi Kyla, Happy woyww Anniversary. It sounds like you had a hard time at school. I have taught a few children who were left-handed and always made sure I had the right equipment. If your teachers had tried to write with left-handed scissors or cut with the left-handed scissors they would understand. Scissors are impossible to cut with if they are not the correct. Great sketches, love them. Wishing you a very happy woyww on this special day. Hugs, Angela x15x
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Anniversary Kyla. I remember that sculpture at Seaton, you have captured it perfectly. My son is left-handed and has trouble with all sorts of pens smudging as he writes so he now uses biro. Take care. With Love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#11)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary WOYWW. Your sketches are adorable. Would make amazing greeting cards. Hubby can write with either hand (and will be seen out on the farm with a tool in each hand!). Ali x #7
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of those badges Kyla. I am left handed too and got told off all the time as my handwriting at school slanted to the left - these days it's just illegible lol. Loving the sketches - hope you manage to renew that library book. Hope to see you at the crop. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
ReplyDeleteHappy lace anniversary Kyla. I’m a leftie too and the fact that it’s still a legal discrimination makes my blood boil. I prefer ‘sinister’ to cack handed but it’s better to think of da Vinci being a lefty and my grandad being able to write two different things at the same time, one with each hand.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, enjoy your watercolouring!
Hugs

Happy WOYWW 13th anniversary! your sketches are fantastic as always, love the hare! My best friend growing up was a leftie and I always thought her writing was fabulous, so neat, unlike me!! Hope you get to enjoy the library book soon. Take care. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteHappy 13th WOYWW Anniversary. Great pictures. Angela #13
ReplyDeleteI was going back over the list and realized I had missed you. I am here to rectify that, though. I love those left handed badges. I had a great aunt who was left handed, but was forced to write right handed. I don't believe they force students to do that any more, at least not in the states.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your Man Bites Dog tales. I always get a good laugh at how you put the cards together. Happy WOYWW from # 1.
Love that juggling hare!
ReplyDeleteHappy 13th WOYWW Anniversary!
Stay safe and keep well!

Hi Kyla, I visited yesterday and completely forgot to comment such was my excitement of being back on the desks and finding it was anniversary week and I needed to make my PIF ATC! Love your paintings especially the wave although HARES was my maiden name so the other one is special too. Hugs BJ#18
ReplyDeleteNice look into your sketchbooks, love to see what inspires you in the few minutes that you actually sit still! laughed out loud at the explanation of the sketchbook belly band, only you would see the potential in a freebie like that! Perfect.
ReplyDeleteanonymous my bit, it was me, Julia.
ReplyDeleteHi Kyla, I think you are sending the anniversary PIF ATC to me? I can't find your email on your page but mine is on my profile if you'd like to contact me first. Thanks BJ
