What's on your Workdesk? Wednesday 831

I thought that my desk was untouched from last week. But as you can see, not so. No actual production, but a trial, fun inconsequential play with wood mounted stamps from a Stampin Up! set that I bought from someone on Vinted for a song. They are very nice and I'm happy with them. No idea when they'll be used again, but I'll work them in somehow! 

There's tickets from our day at the ArmyV Navy rugby match at Twickenham waiting to go into the 'captured for the scrapbook box'' and a lot of detritus really. The weather has been so good that I've spent a lot of time gadding about or doing stuff in the garden and it's been lovely, but I do have a yearning to make something, so will try to tidy up and make time; should be a little easier - the sun might be shining but boy, it's gone back to being really quite chilly till about three in the afternoon! 
Look at this marvellous post box topper to commemorate VE Day, am so happy to live in a town that has a postbox topper knitter!
Please join us in showing what you're working on, or not as in mycase, just let's see your lovely work space! Link at Sarah's. You might want to make a cuppa before visiting....just to enhance the pleasure!

I've discovered a post box knitter in our area so I need to keeo an eye out - and maybe remember to take a photo next time. There are some beauties on FB.
Yes, though it is nice that wind can be quite cold - must be from the north.
Hope you get some crafting done although it really is a craft more suited to the cold dark months.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

It’s always a pleasure to come across a knitted topper. I wonder what happens to them afterwards as they are left out in all weathers. I can’t stop yawning! I think a nap is in order! Happy WOYWW. Angela #11

Hi Julia. Hoping this chilly breeze clears off soon. The sun is lovely but the wind just spoils it. Everything doing well in the garden so can't have everything I suppose. I love that little topper. It does make us smile to see them doesn't it x x Jo i

There are some fabulous postbox toppers in our area too Julia. They pop up on the local FB page quite often. The garden does seem to pull in this lovely weather I must admit. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah

We have a few post box topper knitters (mainly the WI I think) but they do get trashed. More densely populated round here so we have a higher percentage of knitters but also yobs. Have been outside a lot lately but yes that wind has been making it too cold to just sit and read unless I wrap up like a sherpa, Stamps look pretty, I'm sure you'll create something wonderful. see you at the anniversary, Cindyxx
