a quick couple of weeks. Day off today, hoorah! So thought I'd take a pic
of my desk again, it's more Halloweeny this time. I'm making some tags
from some tags I had on some clothes, as they were orange & black :D
There's a bit of sparkly paper from the card I'm making for my DIL too (but I
had to hid the card just in case she sees this lol). You can join WOYWW,

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Wednesday 435</b></i> Hello again, I thought I'd join in <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-435.html">WOYWW</a> as I'd just finished a quick card for a friend who has a new job using my new Spellbinders Emojis dies. As you can see I've treated myself to a Christmas planner & I also have some leaflets & info from a lil break away we had last week to Nottingham/Sherwood Forest (we were so lucky the weather was glorious). Nothing much else exciting as it's fairly tidy cos I haven't been doing any crafting recently, sooo looking forward to getting back to it :o)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main reason I've not been blogging is - my computer is on it's last legs & everything takes soo much longer. I should be getting a new computer for Christmas (maybe even before with a bit of luck). I'm thinking about starting a new blog as I've had this one for years & it would be nice to have a new start.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main reason I haven't been crafting is - after I had my hip replacement op I have been making up for lost time & doing lots of walking & exploring new places :o) Now the winter is coming & the nights are drawing in I'm hoping to get back in my craft room & hopefully my mojo will come with me lol . </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With Christmas coming (sorry to mention the C word but I DO love Christmas) I have got myself a planner & am hoping to be organised this year - will be looking for some Christmas swaps, Secret Santa's etc so let me know if you know of any please :o) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today I am having my hip replacement operation & I can't wait. I am so looking forward to being able to get back to "normal" (all being well) & have a list of places I want to go/things to do when I have recovered :o) Sorry I've been AWOL but hopefully I can soon get back to crafting & visiting your fabulous blogs again & get lots of inspiration. </span></div>

My youngest son moved back home a few weeks ago & started a new job Monday which meant being away training so we are in charge of his 2 cats Cookie & Domino (& I have fell in love with them :o) My eldest son made a flying visit from Kent yesterday so that was lovely & I saw my orthopaedic consultant yesterday so hopefully I won't have too long to wait for my hip op (it's time now it's really affecting my quality of life:o( )</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Sorry I've been a bit AWOL lately (definitely not been blogging every week as I wanted to) but to be honest it's been a rough year. I've had a cough since January. I've had various tests which were clear & medicines which didn't help (& as my job involves LOTS of talking this has made it worse). Now the doctors have referred me cos they don't know what else to do. This is on top of the fact that I need a hip replacement op, I've been putting it off but the last few months it has got progressively worse & now they've said I might not be able to have my op because of the cough. So as you can imagine I'm a bit fed up & to top it all my mojo went missing too! That is why my creation for <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the new</span> <a href="http://alldressedupchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">All Dressed Up</a> Anything Goes challenge is very simple. I used Wendy's fabulous <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/225306844/shoes?ref=shop_home_active_5">Shoes</a> image which I coloured with chalk & just added a crochet flower & a couple of buttons & put it in an old frame I had :o) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone sorry I've been awol for a lil while & I missed my resolution of posting weekly (only by a few days so I won't beat myself up about it lol). I've not been feeling great, various reasons but one of them is that I've had a persistent cough since January which I'm being investigated for & they found out I'm anaemic again (I'm not surprised as I've been exhausted) hopefully it will all be sorted out soon & I will be back to my ol' self. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway on to my creation which is an Alice in Wonderland pocket letter. Alice in Wonderland was my favourite book when I was a little girl & I still love it! I really enjoy making <a href="http://wwwmycraftycorner.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Pocket%20Letter">pocket letters</a> & the concept of sending little gifts with them but unfortunately I some bad experiences so I've given up (for now, I may have another go later), such a shame as I'd love to make another Alice in Wonderland as I have some new stamps (perhaps I'll make another <a href="http://wwwmycraftycorner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/new-found-lovemini-albums-v-warning.html">mini album</a> or something). </span></div>

I haven't had quite so much time for crafting this last week as I've had lots on & I've been doing some sewing too (I made a patchwork denim cushion which I will put on my <a href="http://craftysewsew.blogspot.co.uk/">sewing blog</a> when I get chance & some cushion covers with some gorgeous "London" fabric I bought). It has been gorgeous here today (at last) sunny & warm but at the moment we're in the middle of a storm with torrential rain, thunder & lightning so it's nice to be in my craft room. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well it IS Wednesday again, Wednesday is usually my day off but I had to work, luckily only for the morning. I wanted to try & join in <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-357.html">WOYWW</a> again so quickly wizzed round the shop when I finished & as my son's coming to see this evening I made some buns & prepared a roast dinner :D (so I deserve a little time to look round your fab blogs & workdesks right?!). This is more how my desk usually looks, I've noticed I do have a lot of scissors lol but I <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">use</span> them for different jobs. The owl organiser is my diary, I love printing photos off of what's been happening & stuff I've done as I find a visual record is much nicer than written (especially with my writing lol). I will try & visit as many of you as I can. Hope you're having a great week xx </span></div>

I've fancied joining in <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-356_30.html">WOYWW</a> for a while & always like seeing what other crafters are working on :o) I'm not really working on anything at the moment but I've been looking at a couple of images I've already coloured & also at other stamped images to colour.</span></div>
