What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 830

So. I've been card making and testing my patience I can tell you. Last week Mr Dunnit had an online meeting at home so I sat at my desk as quiet as a mouse whilst he erm, meetinged. I bought this die set for no other reason than I liked the picture on the packet and spent bloomin' ages cutting out the relevant parts. I cut out enough to make six cards and set to whilst listening to a client and his joiner discuss cabinets and worktops. This is the last card which I finally put together yesterday; I had to get it off my desk, I need to move on. It was all a bit painstaking! The teeny tiny flower heads are cut from one of the Pixie dust sheets I made a few days ago. So I haven't used much of it! 

I spent last weekend away with the Coven, for reasons of scrapbooking and talking and that's another reason for needing to clear my desk off again..I need to unpack and finish some titles and journaling. 

On another note, our tree Peony has flowered and I can't tell you how beautiful it is, it's a bit earlier than usual on account of the lovely sunshine we're enjoying. And better still, the forecast is fine, so the flowers will last longer than usual too! 

The flowers are as big as dinner plates and that hint of pink blush has arrived in the last five years or so and we put it down the fact that we planted a red bush peony right next to it about ten years ago. Well, we would want to claim credit over such beauty, huh!

I tidied up and in doing so, found a couple of Pixie Dust pots that I had decided to 'need' a couple of weeks ago at Stamperama in Eastleigh. They are mixed pots rather than single colours, so they look extremely lavish, as you can see from the sheets I've done. 'Done' as in sprayed water on the card and tapped the powder over it. Not hard. 

The two pieces at the front are from each bottle individually, at the back there's a bit of both bottles on both cards. Not hard she says. The hard part is yet to come; I don't have any idea what I'll be using these pieces for!  You can see a box of rainbow coloured Washi tapes which were going for half price in Tesco...which was less than £2, so they will be found a home presently. And there are the washed and drying blending brushes that I was using last week. I hope Kathy doesn't faint when she works out how long it has therefore taken me to get round to cleaning her most useful gifts! 

My last birthday was the big 60 and my in-law family bought me lunch and viewing platform tickets for the Shard in London. As the tickets are only valid for a year, we thought to take advantage of the good weather and just do it. Quite an experience. Lunch was on the 34th floor and the viewing platform was on the 78th. Ear popping in a lift that was quick and silent and a bit scary, and then of course, a lot of view! 

    
I hope that your plans for the Easter weekend work out smoothly and you enjoy. 

Meanwhile though, visit Sarah to link your blog and desk/work surface/shenanigans, we'd love to see! Im mostly out for Wednesday this week, so forgive my slow to visit attitude!

I'm not even sure how I managed to miss last week! Still, very grateful to be here and a little tiny bit flummoxed by the state of my desk! Taken at twilight, it tells a few stories. 

I've done some Easter gift shopping, I'm going to make belly bands or bags or something.

The plastic wallets are the scrapbook kits from Paper Fox that I was sorting through whilst packing for Crop last Saturday. I took two others with me; if I had bothered to unpack there would likely be four plastic files in view! All of that is underpinned by what I was doing before Crop preparation which you can see sticking out from under. I've got some pretty papers and matching toppers and such that I'm making up into a few cards. My WI group visits a coffee morning at one of our local Community Groups, so when I'm in the mood for making for the joy of cutting and sticking, I make up a few packs of five cards to bung on their fund raising table. 

The Easter egg stencil is the first purchasing double I've ever made! I reckon I can get it in the post fairly fast if anyone would like to have it, for this Easter or any other, just let me know! 

Please join in the showing off of the work surface that you use, what you do, what you've got....it's very interesting! Link your blog post over at 

Sarah's . Thank you very much!
