WOYWW - All the deets on how to link up etc. and, more importantly, why you should, can be found at the top to the page. Thank you Julia for hosting another week of fun and mayhem.
Busy workdesk this week..... and NO.... it's not a dumping ground at all!!
1) I am sitting perusing the Stamping Up! catalogue from Anne (Copper Beech Crafts) or then again maybe
2) Sorting threads because I have run out of yellow or am I
3) reading the new Creative Stamps Magazine.
4) I have been/am sorting through the pile of papers and chucking those which I really don't want to hang on to any more. Yes! I know, my laptop is not a shelf .... but it is a space!!
5) I am also sorting out some Magazine ideas and 'things' for this month's card swaps.
So that's my desk ........I forgot....
6) Writing up my WOYYW post!! lol
I am 'doing' the piles as and when I come inside the house. I am not wasting my time outside but doing something I wanted to do when I retired ........ (big ideas!)
STITCHING!
I have gone from this
The box of threads will return to my 'sewing cupboard'
Have a crafty time till we meet again!!!!
You have so much going on... and all fun, hooray! I do love that cross stitching, you've done really well since you took it up again. Hope you've been having fun in the hot weather!

Your cross stitch is looking lovely - might it be finished by Christmas? It will be a lovely decoration to have on display and yhou must be proud of what you have achieved so far.
ReplyDeleteSounds as if you are busy having fun in the sun - keep enjoying.

ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch is beautiful - I just don't have the patience for it. xx Jo #11
ReplyDeleteI have several cross stitch kits that I have never done... maybe I'll take it back up one day! Glad you've been tackling your desk too... love your list of "to do" things! Hope you've had a great day. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteLong time since I did any stitchwork like this but I can understand why you enjoy it so much and it looks beautiful. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have so many options of what to do Christine but I must say your cross stitch picture is magnificent. I understand about the skeins. My MIL cross stitches daily but only works on cards now as she has no more room for large framed pictures as they are wall to wall in her house. I dabbled in cross stitch when my children were younger and they each have a birth piece I made. Must be 15 years or more since \I last did any, i'm sure i'd have had some yellows for you somewhere in my thread box.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your out and about day today? Happy WoywW Tracey #4
Your cross stitch picture is amazing, Christine, and your box of threads is the big sister of the one on my desk this week! I hope you enjoyed your day, out and about, and that the weather was nice where you are.

Seriously impressive progress Christine, that cross stitch is looking gorgeous and of course, the foresight in keeping all the threads from one source makes a difference. Love reading about the multi tasking. I don’t use a laptop , so no space opportunities there, but as I type there’s stuff all other the second chair!!
