Woyww

Hump day so that means sharing our desks and look, stuff!! Can't remember the last time I used embossing powder!! Rather than stress about doing a theme for the atc's i just thought i would use what i had to hand. Only probably making 4, but hopefully they will be finished in time. 


Also on my desk is my sketchbook, last wednesday evening i did another online sketch class from Emilys notebook and it was sketching farm animals. I dragged the book out yesterday ready for this evenings class. They are great, one hr a week, on a wednesday for free. 

Here are a couple of other makes recently too, below is my first dandelion 'hunney' of the year. It makes a lovely fake honey like syrup with such a fragrant taste and scent.

Also, this time of year is ransoms aka wild garlic season and about 15 mins walk from my house is a great off road huge patch so i can go and pick a few times across the season. I have dehydrated 2 containers worth and am making a couple jars of wild garlic salt. That will be enough to see us through the year and adds a lovely hint of garlic. 

Soon i plan on starting this years chutney  and jam making sessions as the rhubarb is starting to sprout freely, i have already frozen some rhubarb so chutney making is calling for the next batch.

So, what's on your workdesk Wednesday?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday and look, crafting! Decided to make a couple of ATCs ready for the anniversary swap. Not finished them BUT i made a start and that's what counts! 


Made a couple of backgrounds with spray inks and water to move it around the card a bit, die cut the atc and will then have a think about decorating. 

My 'man bites dog' cards this week are 'tycoon downsizes new secret girl'!!! Does not bare thinking about! 

Thought i would also share some amazing new street art i spotted in town the other day. We are so lucky in Bristol as its such an arty city and i love discovering new art on my walks in town. 


Just a couple of great examples of the talented artists out there. 

So, what's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Wednesday again, wasnt sure i would be able to take part today, have day off but last minute change of plans. Today is the 10th anniversary of my dads death so, as someone who was always crafting, painting and making 'stuff' it seemed fitting to do some crafting.


Am upcycling some images into cards at the moment and shoved at the back of my desk is my watercolour sketchbook i am doing the free course online with 'Emilys Notebook' (worth checking out her website as lots of good tutorials). Forgot my 'man bites dog' cards this week! Think there are probably enough headlines going round at the moment to be honest! 
So, what's on your workdesk?
