Today my hubby brought in the first of the apples from the little tree in our garden. They were windfalls which had come down in last night's high wind and rain. They weren't very big. We don't know the variety of apple, but they have a delicious flavour, and can be eaten raw…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal - just my Cuttlebug and some dies, to cut some pantry labels. Labels for the Pantry Some time ago I made printed labels on the computer for my glass jars in the pantry. I really like these, and need to print off…
Tuesday is a good day to do the bulk of my meal prep, because my groceries are delivered in the morning. I can chop and slice at the same time as sorting everything out, and washing the fruit, etc. I began by peeling a large quantity of fresh root ginger. My freezer supply…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk Wednesday isn't much, but slight progress on last week! Here are my teabag stains on watercolour now that they are dry.

WOYWW - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday My desk on Tuesday evening. I have been drying teabags on watercolour paper again, in order to try some doodles on them. I did a post a couple of days ago about this. This is a new lot drying, and I don't want to move them…
Mark, the decorator, came back this afternoon to finish the job. It didn't take long to do two coats of paint with a break between, because it was a hot day and the paint dried quickly. The walls below the dado are now a rich dark green which really complements the jungle wallpaper.…
My second post today. This afternoon, I made a birthday card, using one of my watercolour doodled birds. I began by measuring and drawing some lines as cutting guides so that I could separate the birds. Then I could use them in projects. The birds after I had cut them out. This is…
The fun began today when Mark, the decorator, began to paper our downstairs loo. This once dingy and boring room is now anything but! The room is very small, and despite the cramped conditions, Mark worked fast. He had soon completed papering the ceiling with the gorgeous dark blue wallpaper covered with silver…
