Woyww

 Happy first What's on your workdesk Wednesday of 2023! Only a short update today as rather behind (drafted last night).

Hope you all had a good Christmas and new year, be it working, time off, time out or catching up with people? 

On my desk-well, micro greens! They are growing on the window ledge but needed moving whilst i cleaned the window ledge last night! These are fenugreek and onion and get sprinkled on my salads, soups, stews etc. 


Also, thought i would share my gratitude tin. Been doing this for about 7 years now. An old coffee tin covered in gaffa tape (SO love that they do patterned gaffa tape), with a bulldog clip with papers and a pen. Then when we have something we are grateful for we make a note and pop it in the tin. Could be something simple like a walk or catching up with friends or a gig, either way, usually a few times a week we have something to add. Then on new years day we pour them out and randomly pick one and read it out. Simple, free, takes seconds to fill in but brings some great memories flooding back. 


So, happy 2023 and hope you all had a good one. 
Happy crafting
Kyla

  5. Love your gratitude tin. I write at least one thing I am grateful for in my diary every day as it helps me keep positive throughout the year, but yours is a more family orientated way of doing it which I love. Happy New Year and Happy WOYWW. Love & God Bless, Caro xx (#15)

  9. The gratitude tin is a great idea, looking around to see where I could start one! Apart from anything else I need help with the old memory these days and this would be great for when you can't think what you actually achieved last year! Happy New Year, have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #11

  11. Love the gratitude tin, like everyone else. It must be lovely to open them up and be all smiley about the things that come to mind. I’m doing a daily thing this year, but am not going to talk about it lest I jinx it…I need to get in the rhythm of doing it to be sure I’ll keep at it! Admiring your micro greens. I’m growing pea shoots on the windowsill, I like them on lots of things, Bart doesn’t so they don’t take up much room! Mind you, they don’t much like the cold windowsill, the summer months are more successful… I should prolly put them next to the wood burner as it goes out overnight!! Happy New Year lovely. Xxx

  14. That tin appeals to me every time I see it, and yet we never manage to follow thru. At this point, just grateful we all survived the holidays with Covid! HAPPY NEW YEAR and (late) HAPPY WOYWW! May it be a great one for us all.

  16. Hi Kyla, I saw your question about the Christmas stamps. You actually know the lady who designed them as it was Tracy Easson who sometimes joins us on woyww. She designed them for Which Craft: https://www.whichcraftuk.co.uk/Stamps/Wonky-Tonk-Girls-/
    though it's quite some time ago they are still available. Hope that helps. I've found you the Snowman in the jar too and that's availble still here: https://www.whichcraftuk.co.uk/Bonny-Wee-Christmas-Merry--Bright
    Hugs Angela xXx
