MIDNIGHT SUN

This is a rubbish photo but I tried to capture the daylight still around just after midnight last night. The bright light is a street light, but you can see the light in the sky. Just amazing.

The images are so very different which meant I have had great fun making them both. Come and join us this fortnight and have just as much fun.

WICKED WEDNESDAY ATC #38 - F IS FOR .................

F is for fairies, flowers, friends etc over at Wicked Wednesday Atc challenge this week. I chose flowers.
A vase full of home grown flowers to show off this little ATC.

I cut a tiny aperture in some plain card, mounted it over a real pressed flower under acetate and matted it to coloured Bazzil card. However, before I did all that, I stamped some tiny flowers on the plain card, used a white sakura pen to colour some, added gold Sakura pen to the centres and then distressed it all. I twisted some fine wire into scrolls, added a couple of sticky gems and a butterfly, card done.
I used to make a few of these ATCs several years ago and they are still a favourite of mine.

WOYWW - AN EMPTY WORKDESK BUT I CAN SIT AT IT....

I've come to the conclusion that the cold weather is playing with my sense of time and that is the reason I think it's a whole week since I last wrote a woyww blog post. Not sure whether our lovely leader Julia has come to that reasoning or whether any of you have come to the same  conclusion, but I can't think of anything else.
My little work area is clear at the moment but has seen activity this week as I have been working away trying to complete challenges, tutorials and my DT pieces, none of which I can show - bummer!! However, time will allow me to showcase my art - ha!! that's a laugh, me making art... I do try hard though honestly. Here is the clear space but look, I have a seat at last that allows me to preserve my ailing neck and back....
Still sharing with the washer but it behaves, LOL. You get the perspective of size of my room in this photo but remember, the doors to the left conceal lots of space for my stash.
I do however, have to hang stuff on the little bit of wall and the ceiling plus over the window on a tiny shelf:
Can you spot my gorgeous clock? That was my 2nd Anniversary woyww pressie form last year (still waiting for this year's to arrive) I also note that showing you this also gives away the fact that I had to take my photos yesterday, can't trust the light with all this rain so grabbed the moment before tea:
This is my little wall of special art from friends. I change it every so often but tend to keep on display the very special pieces. Actually, that's not altogether right, because most of my collection is very special:

All I do really is change it around.
I managed quite a few trips round to fellow woywwers last week even though it was spasmodic over several days, and hope to do the same this week. See ya then x

THE OLYMPIC TORCH CAME PAST ME

After the most awful weather ever yesterday, the sun came out just as the torch went by me. Here is the procession in pictures:
