WOYWW 195

Now how did it get to be Wednesday again so quickly!

So on my desk today is something that I did not make  but am trying to make a box for.

My Hubby loves to work with wood and as our nephew is about to take the plunge  he has made the lovely  double Celtic love spoon as a gift.     Its shape is started  on the frett saw then  finished by hand, made of cedar wood and so smells beautiful.    I love it, I hope the happy couple will too.
Now popping over to Julia's to have a look at all the inspiration on your desks.


Thanks for looking and do please leave me a comment

WOYWW 194


Purely playtime today as I was given a "Clarity" Humming Bird Stamp and a set of masks for them  by my lovely Hubby and needed a play. The masks are  perfect matches to the stamp so make such a difference to the old cut out with scissors.    I even managed to get a reverse image by stamping onto my splodge mat then placing the card face down onto it.    So just for fun this wee atc size card was coloured with promarkers and today I am a happy crafter.

Now I am off to Julia's to see what's on everyone else desk
Thanks for looking

the cat and the new bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once there was a cat  and he loved his bed , he had used it very well for many  years and it had survived many washes but still retained all the comforts he required until..... one wash too many and it fell to pieces.
A new bed was bought the removable cushion from the old bed inserted into the new bed and that's it ...or not as the case may be


I could try it out for you if you like
no thanks I want to make Mum sorry for washing my old bed

still sulking

getting closer

closer still

ok just for you I will try it
nope just not up to my standard

This has taken 5 days and I think  Dandy is just being too picky now and thinks he deserves two beds, he now alternates between the two.   Next step is to remove the old cushion  By the way that is a toy catnip mouse on the floor not the real thing :):)

Thanks you looking and all advise welcome
