Morning gentle deskers. I hope I find you well, staying at home or social distancing if you are one of the amazing key workers looking after us all in this strange days. Although I work in a school, which is open, I do part time admin in the office, not teaching so nothing essential and therefore I'm staying at home. The teachers are in 2 per day looking after the few children now coming to school and doing fun things. I have found out today though that our Office Manager is staying home from tomorrow so I may need to go in and answer phones and send in the attendance stuff, I'm just waiting to hear.

Here is my desk very early this morning. I haven't been near it since Sunday so it's a bit of mess as things have just been dumped amongst the bits and pieces that I was doing on Saturday.

The pieces from last week's WOYWW are there, no further than they were and my journal is the WIP I was working on. I intended to do a layout for each month and this was January. With the way things have changed in just a week though I'm now going to do a daily diary taking some photos each day with what's going on and what is good about the day. We are living through history at the moment and it'll be done for GSCE no doubt in 50 years time.

So here are my photos from yesterday.

Washing drying outside.....DD came home from Uni on Sunday with all her stuff so I have mountains of washing but it's so good to have her home I don't care.

A Teapot....to make my T Bags last as long as possible. I got 3 mugs out of one bag yesterday morning.

And the first new blossom on the cherry tree.

Well that's me today. If you want to join in with this lovely, friendly bunch of Deskers, then pop over to see Julia, at a safe distance of course, and join up HERE.

Stay Safe and Happy Crafting

Morning gentle Crafters. I hope you are staying healthy and looking after each other in these strange times we find ourselves living in.

I have a Training Day today, something we usually look forward to but not knowing how long school will stay open for, going to work feels a bit of a luxury at the minute and the kids are such a joy they make you smile when there isn't much joy about. Watching them washing their hands on mass is amazing. They do it without being told now.

Anyway, here's my desk this morning, well it's the dining table.

I was having a play with a gelli plate and some Lavinia stamps I had for Christmas and was using a piece of card to clean my brayer on. I liked the scrap so much I decided to make something with it using some new AALL and Create stamps. It's still a work in progress, I've got some bits and pieces cut out to add. It might be finished by next week.

These are the pieces I made with the Lavinia stamps, waiting to be made into cards.

Well, that's me this week. If you want to share you desk with some lovely people then pop over to see Julia at WOYWW headquarters HERE.  It's a lovely way to keep in touch with people  now we have to keep ourselves apart.

Look after yourselves and stay well.

Afternoon lovely deskers. I'm a bit late to the party today but at least I'm here and what a lovely sunny day it is. Maybe Spring is just round the corner.

Here's my desk today.

A bit of a mess I know but I'm in the middle of a marathon card making session. My stocks are seriously low so it's all go at the minute.

I did manage a bit of a play at the weekend though. Hubby gave me a piece of hardboard he didn't want so I had a play with some Stamperia rice paper, which I've had for ages. The lady is also on rice paper, but I wanted to keep the original so this is a traced image that I then painted. I had no idea she would end up with blue hair, but I like it.

We've had so many different seasons over the last couple of weeks. The river flooded the immediate area, which is mostly just a play park but was impressive.

And then we woke up to a covering a snow, which was a surprise. It didn't last too long but caused a bit of rush hour disruption.

Well, that's me today. If you want to share your desk, then pop over to WOYWW headquarters and see what it's all about.

Happy Crafting
