 Happy What's on your Workdesk Wednesday.  I have stuff on my desk!!  I thought I would try to get a head start and at least get the base layer down on my 365 Journal in readiness for September.  I am almost out of gesso (which I use as a base layer as it helps stop the coloured inks bleeding through the pages) so I do need to go to the art/craft shop-shame!!

My "man bites dog" cards this week are "Scam rips off exec teen!"  well,  in that case not much chance for the rest of us to be honest!!

I thought I would share a couple of other pics, at the weekend I caught the bus to Clevedon.  Its probably the closest beach to Bristol and only 40 min on the bus!  I have NEVER been there before (no idea why) but Bristol Urban Sketchers, of whom I have been a member of for probably more than a decade, did their monthly meet up there.  I was blown away, an amazing town.  A fantastic pier where I sat and sketched for a couple of hours, plus we found some amazing food for sale (lunch sorted) and some amazing walks and a sea infinity lido too!  We will certainly be going back.

I also thought I would share my latest harvest from the allotments.  My allotment neighbour kindly gave me some flowers and I picked a LOT of yellow courgettes (I have picked even more since this photo 2 days ago!), patty pan squash, beetroot, beans, cucumber, tomatoes and sweetcorn.  All grown outside with no greenhouse etc, am well chuffed.  I also managed to share some with other plot holders and also took a bagful up to my local food bank for them to use too.

So, What's on your workdesk?  Do share as we love to see the inspiration, new stash and ideas.

 Morning all, hope the weather hasn't been too bad for you all if you have had time off?  On the plus side, haven't had to water the allotments as much.  Downside is the slugs love this weather!

One my desk this week are some off cuts I have separated into files depending on their colours (almost smacks of me tidying the craft room-shhhh, don't let that rumour spread!).  Must admit I do find it easier if I do this when I need to make a quick card.  Also on my desk is my blank bullet journal that I am catching up on and my "man bites dog" cards this week are "Heiress falls for naked hero!"

I was lucky to have a day off last week and for a change it was mainly dry so we drove down to Sidmouth folk festival for the day and caught up with my mum too.  Its the festival 69th year and something I have been attending for about 10 years or so and love the real mix of events you get,

I sat in the sensory garden listening to sound checks taking place on the main stage (Barbara Dixon was playing that afternoon) and decided to sketch what was in front of me!  We were also able catch up with a good friend who works there (and is in an excellent punk band my hubbys band  has supported).

Back home I picked this harvest from the allotment.  Radish, radish seed pods, plums, berries, herbs, edible flowers, green and red lettuces, patty pan summer squash, yellow courgettes and purple climbing beans (already picked a LOT of runner beans too).  Must admit the courgettes and beans often get shared with my neighbours and have taken a couple bags into work to share amongst my colleagues too!

So, What's on your workdesk wednesday?

 Happy WOYWW on my desk today (well, last night) is a  card I am making!  I know, not had a chance to make cards recently, happens the same every year as the allotments tend to take a lot of my time but with the rain we have had I have pushed myself to get back into crafting.  I enjoy it so I should do it more!

I am using old music score as backgrounds at the moment, I have quite a lot of them so thought I would start using them.  I love the feel of the older, thinner paper in my hands and some of them do bring back memories, especially if they are pieces I remember playing when I used to play the tenor horn as a teenager.

My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are " Tough Strikes Saves Heiress" :-)

So, what's on your workdesk this wednesday?
