WOYWW 592

 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.

    That acrylic pouring was very successful, though the fact you call it a dirty pouring made me hoot! I understand what you mean, it just tickled me :-). The new papers look great, hope you enjoy playing with them. My nearest Hobbycraft is in a lockdown area so I shan't be visiting for a whil, sigh....

    I bought re-usable cups to take to the coffee shop but with the current Covid business we cannot use them. As a consequence we are collecting lots of takeaway coffee cups - these are very useful for pouring! And also for mixing fibre glass which my husband was doing!
    Nice pour!
    Happy woyww! Susan #7

    Hi Ellie, we used to live near Bristol but moved to the West Midlands a few years ago - I'm intimately acquainted with HobbyCraft at Cribbs if that's where you went to. No HobbyCrafts near me now, but I can order online. Love your pour - I find if I start I have to do several canvases, otherwise it's not worth making a mess - but it's also so addictive! One of these days I'll get back into it! Have a creative week! xx zsuzsa #22

    Hi Ellie. I don't mind at all that you spread out your visits - helps the week go by nicely to suddenly find I have yet another comment to read:-)BTW - there is nothing "dirty" about that poured image. It's glorious. Really must try it one day...
    Take care. God bless.

    Another acrylic pour! that's two today, gorgeous too. It really doesn't matter how long it takes for you to visit, better late than never as they say. I do buy things from Hobbycraft and have always been quite pleased with their card. We do have one here now but hardly been to it this year well not at all actually but then I've hardly been to any shops apart from the Supermarket can't think why! Have a lovely week and a very happy and safe woyww, Angela x16x .

    Hi Ellie, love the pour, really must get round to this, as I have a drawer full of acrylic paints! We also have a Hobbycrafts not too far from us, the cardstock looks like a great buy, They do have some good bargains occasionally. I'd just be happier if they stocked more stamps from British manufacturers. Stay safe, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X

    Hi Ellie, great pour. Hobby craft is a too far for a quick pop in, but we have The Range which I think is actually better sometimes. I usually order online for Hobbycraft. Angela #25

    Hi Ellie! I am exactly the same way. I don't like to rush through and visit all the blogs on Wednesday. I like to visit a few each day but I do it with a cup of tea! So no worries. This is the second time I have heard of pouring. I never heard of the technique before but am very intrigued as the results are beautiful. Have a lovely week and I hope you can fit me in your visits this week.

    I have to spread my visits too Ellie, here I am on Saturday night living my rock n roll life! I wonder if you found Zsazsu’s blog yet, you pourers will like it. I must say that the pink dirty pour is quite lovely, I imagine a dirty pour as a sludge coloured mud pattern!!

    I love the acrylic pouring, Ellie! Maybe one day I shall be brave enough to try it... Like you, I like to go through the WOYWW blogs a few at a time, because there are so many that I can't do them all at once. There are always so many other things demanding my attention and I'd rather spend quality time doing them than trying to rush through them. I also really like getting comments throughout the week rather than all in a rush! That way the whole WOYWW experience is ongoing, rather than just one day a week!

    Thank you for your visit, and I hope your eyes have recovered after looking at my lamp haha! It really is extremely bright... So glad you are enjoying the tiny carpets project. Last night I completed the first two needle books and I will be blogging about them this week.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

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...
