Hi peeps hope you are all well? So whats on your workdesk Wednesday?  Well, its my floor as my only small desk space is covered with work so am painting (last night) the base coat for November 365 challenge journal page, doubt it will be finished in time (behind on inktober too as work is taking all my time) but wet weekend forecast so sure I will catch up! 

 Man Bites dog cards this week are 'angry tourist lost naked heiress!!' 

Say no more!!! 

So, whats on your desk/floor this week?

 Happy hump day where we share What's on your workdesk Wednesday in all their glory! 

After a brief absence I am back and as usual in October that means my main crafting is Inktober and this year also Disctober so once again my desk is looking similar.

I thought i would show a photo of a couple of the tags so far (they are all on my IG page and as usual I will post them all on here as one update at the end of the month)

The 'man bites dog' cards this week are odd "bored star hits angry singer!!" Well that would make a difference on the news after all the covid, manchester and election news!

Happy crafting

Hello peeps, hump day again so that means sharing "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday" where across the globe we bare what is on our desks, sometimes clean and tidy sometimes in an arty state, but always interesting and often with some great tips on storage, techniques and some "enabling"!!

Full details on how to join can be found here

On my desk this week are my tags.  Every year I take part in Inktober of 31 days of 31 drawings.  There are prompts (or you can do your own thing) and the past few years I have done mine on tags so I can hang them from the top of my desk and look back over them.  

This year is a bit different as my mate pointed out that there is also a Discworld one (Disctober).  As a massive Pratchett fan I decided to join in this too. Some I have done on the back of the tags (they have their own list of prompts) and a few I have combined into one tag.

No idea if I will make it through the month with both but lets see!

 Last week we were lucky enough to finally get some time off work and went away for a couple nights (first time since February) down to Devon.  Whilst it did chuck down we were also blessed with a lovely warm day on the beach, with a picnic.  I sat there sketching and also painting and abandoning some pebbles for other to find along the beach and gardens.  It was so lovely to be away for a few days.

Hope you are all well and looking forward to seeing your desks

 Autumn appears to have arrived, soon the chestnuts will be ready and my walks will be through the crunching leaves (as soon as this rain and wind blows through). 

On my workdesk this week is a card I made for a work colleague who has just had a baby so they know we are all thinking about them.

And considering the 'debates' in the states at the moment i can just imagine many additional headlines with these cards! 

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday

Hello peeps, hump day so that means What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday where we share our desks across the globe.

On my desk this week appears to be paper bags!  Well, they are, upcycled paper bags BUT filled with fresh herbs from my garden that I collect and dry throughout the summer for use in the winter.

We are getting to the end of the season so this is probably my last harvest of them (well apart from the sage which is evergreen BUT I needed to cut it back).  So I have dried swiss mint, sage, golden tipped marjoram and oregano.  In fact I had SO much sage I placed several large bunches on wall outside with a "Free sage" sign and it all went, so pleased with that.

This is the result of the past few months of drying.  I also have some lemon balm and another mint. 

My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are 'Missing DA Rehab Scam'!!!  Well that makes you wonder!!

So, What's on your workdesk this week? Full details are on the Queen of Desks blog Julia, here

 Hello peeps hump day so that means sharing What's on your workdesk Wednesday with fellower crafters across the globe courtesy of the Queen of desks, julia.

On my desk this week are a couple of cards i have been making. The one on the left is upcycling an old calendar i cut some lovely images from and the one on the right is for little nieces birthday, she loves space and science so i used some brusho's (i so love their powders) and black acrylic. 

That's all that is on my desk as my spare time is mainly allotment/preserving at the moment (apart from the weekend when the Urban sketchers did an actual meet up, details on my precious blog post-it was SO good to meet up, albeit with the strict rules.

So, dare you bare your desk? Go on, we are a friendly bunch, honest!! Full details on WOYWW are Here

Bristol Urban Sketchers meet up

 Hello peeps, well today was our first actual meet up since lockdown of Bristol Urban Sketchers. It was so well organised, 6 people in a group, pre booked, outside and socially distanced. Our group met outside St Georges Hall in town near Brandon Hill. 

I forgot my mixer pallet but no worries as i bought a cheeky tesco meal deal of a wrap and also sushi and upcycled the sushi lid as a palette and the soy sauce fish as a water carrier! Worked so well i intend on using them again!

I sketched outside st georges hall sat on the steps then up in Brandon park before we all met for a quick catch up. 

Was great meeting up and there was also another group of 6 the other side of the hall  (which we didn't meet up with to ensure we kept to the rules) and a zoom meet up for those unable to make it, which has been a lifeline and means those shielding or not able to get there can still take part.

So well organised and helped me feel safe which i really appreciated. 

Thanks chaps it was fabulous

 Happy what's on your workdesk Wednesday. This update is actually from last night as i made a birthday card for my nephew's birthday this weekend.

Happy hump day

 I need to start with an apology not had time to do my blog visits in the past week but work, allotment and heat got to me!  

I am trying this update quickly on the new mobile blogger app, so fingers crossed, i will keep it short. 

My desk is actually my kitchen as very early this morning (well been awake since 3am, again, why not) as i bottled my elderberry vinegar that i had steeping overnight before i started work. I do love it, elderberry is full of goodness and the sweetened vinegar lasts well over a year and can be used as a dressing, cooking and also a wee tot if your under the weather (meant to be immune boosting, either way, tastes nice!). 

Either way, fingers crossed this update works!!
