WOYWW-442 - 22.10.17


Hello friends!

Thank you to all of those who have visited me since I joined WOYWW. If you would like to join in with this lovely group of crafters, or look at some other desks, visit the hub of activity here.
My desk isn't too bad this morning, last night was a different matter all together. I had paint EVERYWHERE! I don't know how but I just managed to cover myself, my clothes and the carpet...Oops!

On my desk today are some bits Ive been using to make tags with. The ones in the pic aren't Christmas ones. The little jellyfish are super glittery but the camera wont pick it up. These little Jellyfish toppers will be mounted onto tag bases once I die cut them. I have been loving my tonic dies for making tags lately. They are fab!

Have a fantastic day everyone!
Thank you for spending some of your day with me.
Crafty hugs and see you tomorrow.

    Hi Ellie, oh dear, the paint accident. I hope you managed to get it out of the clothes you were wearing, (and the carpet) or are you like me and wear old jeans and a top when doing lots of acrylic stuff?
    Hugs, Neet 6 xx

      Thank you Christine, it was a Christmas present in a previous year so I'm afraid I don't know where it's from. Xxx

    That is an adorable little jellyfish. And some fun things on that desk. Your big cup gives me an idea for some hot cocoa. A little chilly here. Have a happy Woyww

    Covering yourself and everywhere else with paint is normal for me! I had to get rid of the carpet in my craft room for that very reason! LOL! Your jellyfish tags are very cute! I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you last week, for some reason I just couldn't get into your blog! Anyway, I'm glad I found you today! Thanks for sharing,have a great week, Lindart #26

    Hi Ellie! Lots going on your desk and you seem to be well hydrated with TWO simultaneous drinks! Or is the yellow glass just paint water LOL? I've stopped putting drinks on my desk because I always end up dunking my paint brush in it! Thanks so much for visiting earlier! Wishing you a lovely weekend. zsuzsa #20

    The tonic die is very nice indeed but not half as cute as the little jellyfish. Have a great weekend.

    Sorry to hear about your paint accident, Ellie - sounds like the sort of thing I'm always doing! Your little jellyfish stamp is so cute! I'm so sorry to be so long replying to your lovely comment - thank you for it - I've been frantically busy this week with 4 big pheasants my hubby was given - made lots of freezer fodder with them (2 casseroles, stock, soup, marinated breasts etc.!) and also dealing with kitties and frantically knitting socks for church! Yes, it's been an adventure with Lily and her runny tummy but she's mostly been really good and hit the litter tray most of the time lol! She's getting better now.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

    You made excuses for being so late with your visit to my blog but hey, I am even later ;) It happens sometimes... I do love the painted page in your journal (?) with all the colours. Are you going to use it as a background or leave it this way? It's beautiful! Big hug from Holland, Marit #18

 Good Morning Friends Happy WOYWW! So today, my desk is a tad empty. Yesterday there was no room to move as I had finished the advent swap envelopes.  So I had a trip to Bristol so popped into Hobbycraft to grab a few things, one being this pack on pretty coloured cardstock. I have also been playing with some more acrylic pouring, this was a dirty pour using the left over paint I had from making a gift. I use the spotty paper cups to pour the paint. I just wanted to apologise that I do take a few days to catch up, on reading your lovely blogs. I hope you don't mind as I like to relax with a cuppa and have a read of a few each day. Speaking of a cuppa I am enjoying a coffee right now, ready to start the day. If you want to join in with this desk madness, head over too The Stamping Ground! Thank you for spending some of your day with me. Ellie x

Hello Everyone! Today I have spent the morning sanding drawers for my advent calendar. Lots of dust and sandpaper. See more desks at the stamping ground, click here. Sharing my work desk for the first time today, a lovely friend, Sarah (www.sarahscraftshed.co.uk) told me about it and I was very excited to take part. If anyone else would like to join in head over to the link I posted above and get involved every Wednesday. On yesterday's blog I posted a photo of a background I had created using distress inks, I decided to make something using this colourful piece today. To start I cut the watercolour card in half so I could create two toppers or mixed media pieces. Firstly I used my 'Phill Martin Sentimentally yours' background stamp called 'Splatterlicious cracked & splattered background'. I love this stamp, I never use it on a block or using a stamp platform. I find I get wonderful effects just holding it and pressing certain areas into the ink, the...

Happy Wednesday ! My second time posting for WOYWW and I am really enjoying myself, if you want to take part pop over to this pace. Its great fun seeing each others desks and crafty mess haha. This is my desk, a mess I know hehe! Okay, so working left to right on the first picture. Lots of ribbon on the left and a little jar of metal embellishments, a tub of bows, stick pins, mdf butterflies, a round box covered with vintage style tissue paper, small flowers and gems. Lastly on the right is adhesive glitter paper. This is a closer view, with all the goodies on my desk I decorated the box lid. So now I start being crafty if you would like to see the step by step, please read on. So to begin, I ripped some of the glitter adhesive paper into strips and stuck them randomly on the box. Next I cut some pieces of different ribbon and folded them in half. I then stuck the cut ends to the lid. I did this to add dimension to my arrangement. Then I chose th...
