WOYWW #573 - Starry Starry Night

My desk has seen a bit of action the past week,

This is due to me eventually finishing the jigsaw

It took over 2 weeks to complete!!!

First up I sorted out the refills in my last remaining 3 scrapbook albums. 30 pages in each! The bed comes in real handy for crafting of all kinds.





Then I was compelled to do a bit of Bible Journalling.










     

Now I'm back to the scrapping...









Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #572 - UFO Upholstery!

UFO stands for Unfinished Object and my dining chairs have been crying out to be recovered for a while now. I'd washed the fabric I was going to use weeks ago so I just needed the push to actually get on and do it and Julia's UFO challenge for the 11th Anniversary was just what I needed.

So I exchanged my craft and sewing boxes for my upholstery tool box and did some hammering!







I bought the set of 4 chairs from a secondhand shop back in 1992 and completely re-upholstered them in 1997 after attending upholstery classes.









I recovered them last in Jan 2007 I found out as I'd chalked that on the back of one. So they were in need of doing especially as a couple were thread bear in places.

So that's me - a bit of upholstery

Happy 11th WOYWW Anniversary Everyone.

WOYWW #571 - A Week off Methinks

Not done much this week (other than the UFO I'll be showing next week).

Got some crafty goodies, a job lot of refills for my scrapbooks 75 in all.

A more "down to earth" Bible Journalling book with lots of traceables.

Plus some pens, a set of my usual uni-ball fine line in various sizes and a couple of Tombow Fudensuke Brush Pens.

Oh and don't mention the JIGSAW. My son got it for me for my birthday, back in February, and I've been saving the best till last!.

My old tablet cover had the same picture and of course I have a mug to match too...

I guess you could say, it's not the easiest of puzzles!




I've done a few odd hand sewing jobs like my slippers and oven glove but not at all easy when your right hand goes tingly/numb all the time. That has just started up again so even typing this is tricky. Couple that with my left shoulder/arm issue I have had for nearly a year now, it's a right pickle.

Also I got some material delivered from friend (as part of her click and collect supermarket run) to make scrubs and bags with but not started yet.

So not overly exciting this week. Bet you can't wait to see what my UFO is! Wondering if all that set my hand tingling off?? Who knows, my thumb was well sore after I'd done two of the 4!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
