WOYWW 28th July 2010

Wow another week gone already. Time flies when you've got new toys hehehe. Anyway nothing has really changed on my table, everything is still pretty much as it was as my card making mojo appears to have gone on holiday (2 weeks ahead of me I hasten to add!!) and no sign of it coming back as of yet. So instead I have pushed everything out of the way so I can fit my new toy in there instead for the time being. Yes it's a little notepad with a disc drive and external hard drive....so that is where I sit and yap to my hearts content now without my hubby bugging me for the computer so he can play his games. BLISS!

So my workspace isn't really the table at the moment, it's my newly aquired tub for all my yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, sewing needles (big fat ones for sewing wooly stuff), books and patterns and the stuff that I've already made in a separate little bag. I think after my holiday, I'll have to buy another tub to put my makes in. As you can see, I started to make something else late last night, hopefully I'll have that finished today, but until it is, you'll have to wait to find out what it is for.

I won't be here next week as I'll be in Devon camping, so no Facebook, blog or just yapping for me for a whole week. I think I'll just about cope as I've been promised a trip to Hobbycraft, which is fairly exciting for me as I haven't been to one before....who knows what new hobby I'll come out with hehehehe.
Anyway, I'm off for now, and you'll see my mess again in 2 weeks time (and possibly - nay, definitely - some new stash). Hop on over to Julias place http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ to join in the fun - or just be nosy and see what stash we all have and what is going on this week.
Take care

My latest make

Still no card mojo but I finally got this mobile cover finished. I had trouble with the fluffy wool so I had to knit this one instead of crocheting like my other ones.

This little baaaa-uty is now up in my webstore http://yammascardsandcrafts.com/ for £4.50 + p&p. These are going to be made to order ... unless of course they prove to be popular and then I'll get a stock of them made so that they can be sent out straight away instead of waiting for me to make them.
Hope you like my latest offering and I'll see you soon.
Take care

Black white and one other over at OSAAT

Good morning peeps. I unfortunately don't have anything to share with you this Sunday as my mojo for cards has sadly gone AWOL, so I have had to make 2 of the hardest decisions of my crafting life. 1 was to step down from Stampin with the Dragon as a DT member and 2 was to leave my beloved OSAAT.
I have been struggling with the card making for a few weeks now but always manged to pull it off, but these last couple of weeks were different. I've got the paper printed, the images printed.......and nothing!!! My mojo refused to show, even to colour!
I know it will come back, I just don't know when and, well I'm not much of a DT co-ordinator if I can't even create an ATC now am I? Now I would like to take this oppurtunity to wish Tammy all the best as she is stepping into my shoes over at OSAAT as co-ordinator of team A, and that OSAAT continues to rise in popularity with Liz and Tammy at the helm of both teams. I will join in as a challenger when the mojo returns - so you don't get rid of me that easily hehehehe.
One more thing - at Stampin with the Dragon, they now have a DT call going on, so if you click on the link you can pick up all the deets and a fab digi too to use on your entry.
Take care now everyone.

Ta-ra for now

WOYWW 21st July

Ho hum another week done and I didnt get around to clearing off my table. I did make a pile slightly bigger as I wanted to make a couple of boxes yesterday, so what was on my xcut board is now in a pile and my board is covered again, this time with my CC ultimate (you know the one - first one that isn't as good as the new one hehe). Anyway I've given you some different shots this week and shown you inside my "Made" bag and my bag that has all my yarn in that I have aquired in these past few week. Desperately need a box for that stuff, as my dog Bob thinks that he is a cat and insists on playing with anything  that resembles a ball of string.

I have covered the chicken tub though and that is now working as my table top bin and I also have these boxed coasters that I have made this week too.

I doubt if I'll get around to any of you today as hubby is having a half day holiday and will be home by lunchtime so I'll be losing the computer again so he can play at being a farmer (the job he's just come home from early - makes sense eh?!).I'll get round to at least some of you by tomorrow though so happy snooping and why don't you join in the fun over at WOYWW and show us where you craft your gorgeousnesses.
Take care all

WOYWW 14th July and my clever little girl

Oh dear my table is really cluttered this week. I need to move everything before I can make any cards. My blue bag has turned into a white one (the blue one had loads of holes in courtesy of my dog Bob who thinks he is a cat and insists on playing with my wooly stuff). You can see all the mobile phone covers I have made to date - and I'm a very happy girl there this morning as I have had my first sale with my store with one of those..thanks hun you know who you are xx! Erm what else is there - oh yeah the chicken tub. I thought that would make an excellent table top bin instead of my bag that lives on the floor, (something else Bob likes to play with) so I need to sort that out at sometime. There is also some afghan/granny squares that I did yesterday for something else yet to be finished, maybe later today....and then there is everything else that is always on my table, getting shoved forever backwards and upwards.

Hmmm, I think I definitely need to clear some space, but don't expect to see it next week though, I'm sure I'll have made some more mess by then hehehehe.

One final thing. My little girl got an award this week in honour of the Reverend Hanniwells late wife Sara, who very sadly passed away early this year for the most improved in cooking. Here is a picture of her with her trophy and her cookbook prize.

I am very proud of her as she finds so many things difficult at school without an awful lot of help from the TAs. She's now insisting on making her dad an omlette this weekend...uh oh lol.
Now then, you've had a nosey at my mess, why don't you show us yours at Julias place, The Stamping Ground - AKA WOYWW
Take care everyone.

Now in my store....

some neutral mobile phone covers made from unbleached cotton.

I am thoroughly enjoying making these little nik naks and there are several more different things to come over the coming weeks. Hope you like them as much as I am enjoying making them.
