I'm afraid my desk has just been dumped on this week. I emptied the remnants of my Craft & Chatter bag onto the desk yesterday and there it has stayed.
A Zentangle book, pencil set & sketch pad - no prizes for guessing what we were about!
An envelope with ATCC (ATC Coins) inside. I put them in my bag to share with the girls as they often query what I have been 'doing', and most of my work goes straight into the post, so I thought I would share the latest fad on Facebook. I joined Artist Trading Coins UK Group and these are my first month's swaps (more later).
The cover and stamp of a cat outline .... I attempted to zentangle one or two ..... really not good at this but, no doubt, they will appear on this Blog at a later date. lol
The large white strip to the right of my desk is an experiment. I know I'm not in that 'market' but this was too tempting ..... I cut a cornflake box into (26) coins but before I cut the last side I covered it with a piece of the cotton sling PJ was given at Solihull Hopsital. I have already tried stamping on this material (ATC size) and it held the stamping perfect. The material for that was not attached to the backing card, just taped down flat to a piece of paper so this time I glued it down. We shall see what happens ....
Thank you to my visitors last week, sorry I didn't manage to visit many desks, my 'other' laptop has gone it's own way and I usually 'play' on that one while watching tv..... a 'new' one will be bought eventually.
One more ATC arrived this week, thank you Margaret (Glitter and Glue). No photo yet I'm afraid.
have a good week and stay crafty
Hi Christine, it's a real pain when technology fails us.. My laptop (EEBook) is on it's last life I think.. Glad i'm not the only one who *dumps* my crafty bag stash on top of other crafty stash.. as I have no proper desk you can imagine the carnage it can create..!

Morning Christine. Quite a use for that sling! Solihull hospital - golly, that's a trip down memory lane if ever there was one! Used to live there - John worked at the British Gas research station many moons ago - and both girls were born in the hospital there! Teehee - love the fact of the dumping! Don't we all do that???
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a right old moisture of things on the go today! I'd never heard of ATC coins until last week but have since seen it on a few desks. Hope you're having creating them. Hope that PJ is doing ok!

Dumping ground? At least you can find things. I was impressed by your use of the sling. SO much better than sending it to the trash or recycling bin. Those ATC coins are now quite the rage, and they've only been around a couple of months or so. I don't have a laptop, so am stranded in my office on Wednesday. Happy WOYWW from # 6.
ReplyDeleteHI Christine, lots of interesting things tos ee on your desk this week. I spy a Judikins cube stamp to the back- you don't see many of those these days! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz#8 XxXx
ReplyDeleteI love your dumping ground! thanks for visiting - I am hoping the weather isn't going to be as poor as they seem now to be suggesting or it will be a wet visit! Helen #2
