Another Wednesday

I didn't make it to WOYWW last week. Last Tuesday evening was my wonderful evening in London, and the rail company in its wisdom decided to put on a bus service on the last train for what should have been the last half an hour of my journey. Consequently I was jolted around country lanes for over an hour and eventually crawled into bed at 3 am, and had to be up again at 6.30 and off.

I did have a tidy of a very messy desk this Tuesday evening, only to get the paints and stamps out again to do the Compendium Challenge, and there it will all remain till this evening, paint on grungepaper waiting to dry so that I can try more of the Shabby Chic.

I haven't made any progress with the little chest of drawers since last time. Too many birthday cards to make. But you will spot that gorgeous WOYWW easel commissioned by Mrs D from Mr D. By the way, if none of this WOYWW stuff has made sense to you so far, hop over to Mrs D's blog, and all will be revealed. Julia, very sincere thanks to you and Mr D. I love this gorgeous work of art. I'm using it to hold a card made with the Crafty Individuals house-shaped chipboard and stamps as demoed by Jean of CI at the recent Craft Barn Extravaganza.

I have a new addition to the craft space. Picked up a beautiful oak cupboard at bargain price. Had planned to change the handles, but haven't seen anything suitable yet. I have been advised to feed it with oil, and stroke it a lot. Have a few things on top of it picked up from charity shops for altering - mirror, little drawers, jug. The old radio cassette player is not for altering, but so I can still listen to old tapes !

And of course as soon as you open the doors, as if by magic .....

... a certain little lady has heard about WOYWW. Join her, and enjoy your snoopings round the blogs !
