Morning gentle deskers. I hope you are all keeping well. Sorry I missed you last week, I can't remember why, but hey, we've broken up for summer now so there's no excuse not to join in every week. It feels a bit cheeky to say we've broken up when school has only been back 6 weeks but it's been a hectic 6 weeks and I think the teachers are definitely ready for a break, they haven't had one since February half term working through Easter and Spring Bank providing cover for the key workers.

So, my desk is the dining table today.

I've given you two views.

One is a bit of a painting experiment I'm playing with. I've been loving watching "Home Is Where The Art is" on the TV at the moment and there has been some amazing artists featured. I've particularly liked the Abstract Art. Who knew!!!! Turns out I would be quite happy to have it one my wall. So I'm just playing to see what happens. It might be painted over yet but I've covered the canvas with stencilled texture paste so if it doesn't turn into anything I like I'll just start again.

The long view shows how messy our dining table is. My sewing machine lives there permanently and is set up ready to quilt the piece I shared last time.

DD has also been having a play with pyrography and there are some bits of wood she has been practising on in the back ground.

I've also finished painting my powertex lady. I made her ages ago but never got round to painting her.

Well, that's me this week. If you want to share your desk with us pop over to see Julia at WOYWW headquarters.

I will be round later to have a look at what you've all been up too.

Take care and Happy Crafting!

Morning dear Deskers from a cool and cloudy Yorkshire.What happened to summer? I hope you are keeping well and safe today.

Sorry I haven't been around for a few weeks, various things have meant Wednesdays have disappeared before I realised. I thought going back to work would bring some routine but it seems to have thrown it all out and I never know what day it is. Maybe that's just my age!!

Anyway, not much happening on my desk today.

Some sprayed journal pages that were left to dry and haven't got any further. I think I ran out of mojo but I've lots of lock down photos I want to record so maybe they will get a bit further later today.

I've still been making masks. I even had to go out and buy more fabric, although it's nice that you can do that now. This looks like it'll be ongoing the more people get used to wearing them and are going out more. It's nice to be doing my bit!!

With the sewing machine out all the time I've finished the top of my lockdown quilt made with all the scraps left from the masks.

Well that's me this week, not much to show I'm afraid but I shall enjoy popping round to see what you've all been up to.

If you want to join in this lovely meander around peoples desks, then pop over to WOYWW headquarters to see what it's all about.

Take care and Happy Crafting!
