Anyway, I'm up now and on the worksdesk trail.
'Peg Leg' made me a little present yesterday, well actually it will hold all sizes of card. What do you think?
Hopefully, when I start to join in some challenges over the winter, this will come in really handy to photograph them better.
I've completed Heather's August ATC swap cards this week and will post those today, and I had a go at the Something Completely Different challenge, so at least I've done some crafting.
I made a tattered flower last night and hope to faux porcelain it today. Doesn't that sound posh? All I'm going to do is dunk it in some clear UTEE in the hopes that last night's effort doesn't fall apart!
I also finally assembled all the net, grunge and material flower pieces I cut out a couple of weeks ago.
If I get chance I want to make the tag you see with Tim's bird and cage. Not made one yet so I think it's about time I did.
I bought some mini canvasses this week. So many of the mind-blowing creations I see on blogs are altered art and many are on these mini canvasses. I don't have any art in my little room, apart from a birthday card from someone special that I framed, so thought I could have a go at these over the weeks and, because they are tiny, hang them on the wall 'cos tiny is all I can fit.
Some of you may remember me telling you that I was going to learn to fly model aircraft - only the easy ones though, not helicopters. 'Peg Leg' bought a 'wing' when we were away and built it up. When we came home he put £50 worth of lights on it!!!! However, due to the complexity of soldering all the joints it took an age. The bummer to this is one of the lights has a break in the wire somewhere, so they are all off again and he still hasn't been able to test fly it. That's why I haven't had a go. Never mind, it will soon be dark all day so the lights will show up better!!!!!!!!!

Hi Joanne - just had to laugh cos I thought PL had made you an easel that was about 3ft tall - thought you were going in for massive art work (3ft ATCs! cool!) until of course i saw your last photo were it put it back into perspective - Sonia
ps Just posted ATCs to Heather (and got absolutely soaked - summer when I walked out and I think the deluge is called 'summer shower')xx
Loved looking at the fab works in progress today:)
great easel too :)

Hi Joanne, love the easel, the flower looks fab I've never given my tattered florals so much dimension so must have a go :-) Just noticed you live in Warton, I used to live in Leyland so wasn't far from you.

I must admit if it wasn't for the ink pads in the background i too would of thought it was a very large easel, funny how a photo can be so deceiving.
Loving all the things you are currently playing with, looks like you'll be having lots of fun. Happy woyww
oh brilliant work in progress,love all the shapes,you have on your desk,hugs cheryl xxxx
Love your easel - you look to be quite busy and productive. Fingers crossed with the flower - am sure it will be fine.
Your flowers look great, good luck in the UTEE! The easel is fab.
Oooh it looks like you are having a lovely play there - enjoy! My Dad used to be into model aeroplanes and I used to have my own red baron when I was about 8 - was never allowed to take off and land it though!
The easel looks fab, it will be great when you're photographing cards. You have a lot of interesting things going on.

That easel looks great ... what a very handy man Pl is :0)
great easel, it will really help with photographs, try putting a sheet of white paper underneath and one behind, that will help too.
love the flowers.x
Ooh hope we get to see how your UTEE works out...flower looks lovely so far - really want that die but whnever i've ahd a few spare pennie (not often!!) it's sold out everywhere and I get tempted by something else instead !! Good luck with the canvas...Happy WOYWW Esther
I really like the looks of that flower so far. I bet it will be gorgeous. And of course, I don't have anything to cut that bird and cage with, so I will have to lust from afar.
Have to admit, that's a cute and functional easel.
The flower looks great
Great desk!! Would love you to try for my candy! It's Here Hugs Tina xx

That easel is so useful, I love it !!
Great easel. PL has come up trumps again. :) Sorry to hear about the lights. My Dad has a model railway that runs completely around the spare bedroom & I know it's a nightmare when one of the grain of wheat bulbs goes. Hope you get to have a fly soon. :)
Good luck with your birdcage. Can't wait to see the finished model. Have fun with your canvasses. I get the feeling they are going to be AWESOME.xx
