Just popping in for a quick weekly update. It's Wednesday and time for another jaunt around the web visiting bloggers to snoop on their work-desks. If you want to join in pop on over to Julia's  to add your link to the list.
On my "work-desk" aka dining room table, this week is the project I am making on for   "For the Birds" blog hop with the gang at Sew We Quilt. I had to throw scraps on top of the project because It is not to be seen until tomorrow. Yes it will be finished.  I hope I hope I hope.

It's halfway finished ....... but I have to be finished and ready to share.
The fact that today is Pottery Class day doesn't help.  I need to learn to procrastinate around other commitments.



 It's hard to take process photos while playing with clay. So a photo every once in a while is going to have to satisfy your curiosity. This is a shot of a bowl centered upside down in preparation to "clean the butt" and trim the foot.   I didn't get a shot of the completed task. Like I said it is hard to take pictures when your hands are oooey and goooey with slippery smooth clay.
 ( cue Patrick Swayze (sadly missed)   and the theme song from Ghost ) 

So that's it for today.  If you sew or are thinking about sewing....come back tomorrow for loads of fun and a giveaway....here.....on my blog.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Time to jump back into WOYWW on a more regular basis. This week I am showing you where I have been hanging out lately.    This is my Nook.  When we remodeled our kitchen last year I decided the half bath had to go. So now it is a nook. I spend a few hours a day in here .....mostly online. I am taking an online art course ( 21 Secrets ... link on my sidebar) and the videos are amazing.




Last week  Kay , aka, "505Whimsey Girl" shared a pattern for an easy lace stitch so I made a green one for my daughter, a lavender one for a gift for a friend,  and a pink one for the Pink Scarf Project.  It is a very easy pattern. Kay has it on her blog if you are interested.

Thank you so much Kay !   I love it.   The green one is done and my daughter took it before I had a chance to take a pic. The lavender one needs a few more rows and the pink one is half done. Love the pattern.  Not paper but fun just the same.









  In other news... I was reading the latest issue of Best Friends Animal Society magazine and saw this:



That's my Bosley. I guess they took the photo before he came here to live. I love it when one of my "kids" gets published.

Well enough about me.
There are so many blogs for you to visit.
Clck here to go to Julia's blog for the list of blogs.
Have a great week 

One of the things I missed most about blogging was the friends I made and ideas shared among crafters and artists. One of my favorite weekly events was WOYWW. I loved seeing what everyone was up to each week. So of course when I decided to start blogging again I could not wait to see you all. I am currently on vacation in FL so I have a makeshift crafting area that envolved pushing my dinette table up against my desk. The table supports the weight of the quilt I am working on.
The other stuff on the table is from a recent spree to a local quilt shop and rubberstamp store. I had been working on quilts all month and had a severe craving to stamp and collage. This is going to be a very fun week.  I am going to make some blank note cards with the mermaid paper. The black roll tied with a piece of fabric is Chalkboard Fabric. I never worked with it before so I am excited to play with that this weekend. I also picked up some new fabric to make another quilt top.
Oh and the notebook is set on Pinterest.....I am very addicted to Pinterest. Are you?


 


Have a beautiful day!

 It's time for woyww once again and I do have a few things to show you.  If you came from Julia's list you know what I am talking about. If you didn't then you need to pop over there to see what this is all about.
First,  I have been cleaning up my inks, pens and misc wall. Next week I'll  tackle paints and mediums.
The problem with having a large space is that while cleaning I always get distracted by the fun stuff and end up making a bigger mess,  instead of cleaning up the original mess....this problem keep multiplying until I can't move anymore and I end up on the dining room table.  My goal is to have the whole room clean at one time so I can show you the whole space. I would show you now ....but I really don't want to win an award for most clutter.



And last,  The big project this week..... I have the boxes for my giveaway lined up and almost full. I have a few surprise gifts to put into each on then they will be sealed and ready for my giveaway drawing  this weekend.

and here's the database I am using to keep track of the entries.  It's actually five giveaways in one, and the way I am allowing the players to choose where their entries go takes a bit of organization.
Everyone gets three chances and can play them any way they want. So far I have 35 players, so that's 105 entries.  I am having fun with this.    There's still time to enter. Check out Life at RuffHaven to see if you might be interested in any of the goodies. Now off you go to see what everyone else has on their work space this week.

I wasn't going to play today....But I am addicted to woyww....so sad ...so ...  pathetic.
If you need info on woyww go to Julia's Blog to get all the juicy details

Anyway here it is,  in all its glory
