I think these will do the trick. The house purchase completes on Friday so I need to just get on with them really. Not a scary deadline because Grandma isn't actually moving in on Friday, but nevertheless, they'll make a good start! I'm using a Stampin' Up! Set and keeping it relatively simple. I've plonked my coffee mug on the desk and from this angle it looks empty, ( the mug, not the desk,) but fear not, I'll recharge it and settle in to visit your desk. Please forgive me for tardiness and not getting to you last week...it went a bit pear shaped for a couple of days!

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 765n
I printed the new address onto post card sized pieces of card, stamped a few dozen wonky houses onto patterned paper and cut them out. Stuck them in a row across the bottom of the postcard and slowly realised that my Ma In Law (hereafter called Grandma) won't like them. They're wonky, not in number order, different sizes and stamped on floral papers. She won't get it, it's not real enough. So I've set to, and am mid making another set.I think these will do the trick. The house purchase completes on Friday so I need to just get on with them really.

Well these are looking good too. I'm sure you'll be able to use the houses up on another project. Know what you mean by the week going pear shaped, seems to happen to me every week LOL. Hugs BJ#07
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely image and how appropriate for someone a little older. It's different to - thinking outside the box! I am sufe grandma will be delighted with them, you are good for making another batch. Good luck with the move itself.

Hi hi! I hope it’s okay for me to crawl back?! It looks like I have much to catch up on. I love the teacup stamp and I think it’s perfect for the new home cards. I hope it all goes well and you can soon breathe a bit. X
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the house. I am sure the new cards will do the trick. Hope your week goes well. x x Jo
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just know something wont suit who you made it for but maybe the old design will come in handy for someone else. Loving the cup though. Try to relax a bit when you get the chance. Sending woyww hugs Angela x12x

Well I totally understand life going pear-shaped, that's most weeks for me. So glad to hear you are doing the physical CoA thing, so much of what we do is online now people don't always think to tell you - but there ARE occasions when you need to know an address!! Im sure Grandma will lovethem!! Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx # 15
ReplyDeleteYour cup cards are very pretty and I hope Grandma likes them. Maybe you can reuse your wiggly houses elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteI hope the move goes well.
Take care and happy WOYWW

I do like the pretty cups, but I'd love to see the WONKY Houses and I just found them going back to last weeks post. Enjoy a great week Hope the move goes well and you have time to have a Toddy !
ReplyDeleteI love the tea cups, such a gorgeous colour! Hope your MIL likes these (I don't know how she couldn't!), too bad you had to make new ones. Maybe you could sell the other ones as a set? Have a great first week of February! Lindart #18
ReplyDeleteYour new cards are very nice! My picture has my coffee mug on it as well. I was working at 2am, so I needed coffee!
ReplyDeleteI am running late but just happy I made it this week. Last week was a big fail!
Be well!
Hugz,

someone will be sure to love the wonky houses! Better late than never! I know folks make a fuss over being first- how about being last!
ReplyDeleteRobyn 20
For once I'm not last!! but maybe...unlucky! Well, I nipped back to last weeks woyww and I liked your houses, all in a row! there's a pink one and a green one and a blue one and a yellow one and they're all....ok I'll stop singing.... I googled Penkhull Village Hall, Stoke On Trent. It would probably take me weelll over four hours to get there and there's toll roads ((???)) too, so seeing I don't drive anywhere that I've never been before now, I'll just look forward to all the pictures of the crop! Have a great week, good luck with Granma Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn)) #13
