WOYWW 183

Brrr!!  Well, what do you know... it's been snowing!  That's pretty unusual for the outskirts of London in December.   I was up before 5 doing some insomniac crafting, and then was too chilled to get back to sleep again, so I've given in and decided to share What's On My Workdesk this Wednesday.  I had thought I probably wouldn't get round to joining in this week, but having just gained all these hours...  well, here I am, and here's my workdesk this morning: 



If you're not sure why I've capitalised all those letters, then hop over to the Stamping Ground where our hostess, Julia Dunnit will explain all, and join in with the craft world's nosiest bloghop!

I'm back home, delighted to be reunited with the rest of my crafty stash after nearly a month away with only limited supplies... and as a result I'm in the middle of about six different things.  

There's a children's board book which I started before I went away, covering the insides with torn up book pages.  Yesterday I started work on the cover using some Tim Holtz Kraft Resist papers.  

There's a tag which started completely by accident.  I didn't want to throw away the tissue tape that I'd used to secure my little £1 alphabet into its box for the journey back from Stratford upon Avon.  

Being only £1, it doesn't have a lid, and I found I had no tape with me except my lovely TH tape, so I had to use that.  When I peeled it off yesterday, there was no way I was chucking it in the bin, so I layered it on to a tag - so that's now ready for development.

There's a tiny little wooden box with a ship scene on it (just behind the tiny alphabet, on top of my other alphabet in its posh wooden box) awaiting alteration.


The main reason for my - very mild - insomnia (I spent years suffering from the real thing, so I don't like to take the name in vain) was an over-excited and busy brain: late yesterday, I was invited by the delightful Ignacio Molina to join his small team of designers working with the amazing images he produces over at Nicecrane Designs.  My brain got to work right away, turning over possibilities, and pretty much wouldn't leave me in peace.  So the other thing you can see are lots of lovely images which are on their way to being part of various projects... most of which weren't there at midnight last night.  Expect to see more very soon - possibly later today (yup, it's up now) if I don't fall asleep!!

For now, I'll wish you all a very happy WOYWW, and look forward to snooping round your way very soon!

If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he'd make a fortune.
