WOYWW

 Hello peeps, I had a couple of weeks off blogging and crafting as the pay the bills job and my RA got the better of me, but I am back!!

So What's on my Workdesk Wednesday?

This summer I have become addicted to mini twister ice lollies (can you tell?!).  On weight watchers they are only 1pp so represent a great sugar hit for so few calories (must be working as I am more than 2 stone lighter over the past 10 months) but this means the wooden sticks collection has gotten out of hand and needed a storage solution!  These sticks are perfect for glue spreading and applying glazes etc.

 So I grabbed an empty glass (left over from a candle) and my gaffa and washi tape and in less than 2 minutes some pretty storage.

As for my "Man Bites Dog" cards this week....'Nude Tourist Attacks Nurse'.....not too keen on that headline and certainly wouldn't want to see the photofit for THAT on crime stoppers!!!

Happy crafting
Kyla

 Welcome to the weekly share of our desks that is Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday.  This week I have a bit of a cheek....it was taken Friday and is not my desk but my porch!

The eclipse was due Friday so I went on the BBC Stargazing live website and watched the video of how to craft a projector from your binoculars (as it is not safe to look at the sun direct).

All you needed was cardboard and gaffa tape!  Easy.  It may be slightly telling that the cardboard is from a wine box and my gaffa tape is zebra, but then why shouldn't it be stylish?

 You need to cover one of the eyepieces up


 You then project the image onto a piece of paper which you move to focus the image

and there you have it...a totally safe image of the eclipse!  I even managed to skype my family in New Zealand and show them the live image!

Sorry but no "Man Bites Dog" cards this week as my desk is full of work and no crafting!!

Normal service will return soon (honest)
