Its Week 36 ...and I'm back

I received JD’s wave just now and am imagining the others that maybe wafting through the air to me ...... THANKYOU

Now that I feel little more human and have done some blopping over the past couple of days …. and even left some comments …I realize how much I have missed my far flung friends and maybe returning to blogging might have prevented me slipping into an abyss of self pity and depression caused by this fluey thingy I have had. I managed to throw it off just in time to catch it or something very close again ….three times …or is it four … in the past five weeks.

Grrrr ….. pleeeeease will no-one give it back to me

It is week 36 of WOMWW …I may have been off the radar but I have kept track

Now then …. what have I got on my work area …… what work area I cry? The table down stairs is covered in clean washing that has not yet found its way up stairs ….well at least it got washed … I shout in my defence … but there seems so much still to do…the laundry bin overfloweth and the washing machine is making funny noises.

The table and floor in the craft room is strewn with work in progress …but not mine .... and my computer desk is just a mess with reminders, paper, shopping lists and coffee cups so sorry no pictures of the work area .

However ....I did find a corner to have a play with my two punches I was given at Xmas and some metal too ….I must be on the mend.


The two middle ones were turning a 6 petal into a dimentional 5 petal and all th3 yellow ones were made of the same paper ...enhanced by distress inks.

This was using a paint brush and a few ink pad

Then I had a go with some metal ....using ideas I picked up from other blogs I had read over the year, while pondering whether to have a go or not.

Two of my inspirations are Linda E and L'Atelier ....not that you all are not my inspiration 'cos you are.... I am so often in awe of your work and the brain cells start to wizz ...sadly they too ofter grind to a halt before an idea matures.

Then I tried alchol inks on the bottom two ...they are a work in progress lol


Well thats me for this Wednesday

Take Care xx

Week 36 - I've only been blogging since 2ndish week in January and found this to be a great feature - so nice to 'meet' you.

Hope you're fully recovered now.

Angie, I'm glad you are back in blog world and hope that you're done with flu and its nasty aftermath.
Your flowers in progress look so interesting. As I try to sort and pack I am grimly reminded that I have way too much fabric and crafty stuff. Maybe I won't have to buy any more for my retirement years!
Be well!
