Well last week's show of crafty inaction really gave me a push to get some scrapping done. The pages awaiting sticking on my desk for 2 weeks were from a little get away hubby and I had in the Autumn of 2018. Not my thing, going away, so it was the last time we'd been anywhere, for years.
Anyway, as it happened I got the bigger lighthouse there, in Worthing, you know the one I was trying to match with painting my smaller one. I think I finally got a better paint match after hubby gave me some white undercoat as my white paint had died.
Then on to some more layouts...
The last one was when I started dying my hair purple, so I thought I'd do it again this past weekend and put my back out in the process. oh man!
Which brings me to my latest jigsaw. I went from tiny winy regular shaped pieces to large irregular pieces, really enjoying the change and can confirm that shape is a big component in jigsaw completion as well as the picture.
So that's me for the week, actually on my desk are my next two pages all ready for sticking, which will almost wrap up October 2018 and I'll need to order some more photos soon.... Getting there.
that's a pile of layouts! you seem to be catching up well! the jigsaw looks fun, and you are very organised with your pieces! Hope your back eases soon. Helen #2

Ouch BJ I do hope your back is feeling better. You have been productive this week. They are fab layouts and the light houses go very well together. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #8.
ReplyDeleteMorning BJ, you have been busy with the scrap book pages, I love seeing other people's scrap books, but wouldn't have a clue, or the impetus, to do my own.
ReplyDeleteI love your organised jigsaw boxes, makes it look like a serious business!
Thanks for sharing

Great work on all those layouts - you are whizzing through them. So nice to hear someone else say that going away is not their thing! I love the lighthouses - they look a perfect match. The purple hair looks fab but sorry to hear about your back - hope it's soon better.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week,

I was struck by that last pic of the jigsaw - does it really have wobbly edges or have you saved the pieces to put on last? I'm intrigued as I always have to do the edges first (and I do a lot of jigsaws, in fact four new ones arrived this week!). It's a complex picture so well done for doing it. Well done for completing all those LOs and I love the little lighthouses!

I'm reading a few posts that are saying last week was a low point but this week was better - I know that was the case with me, I wonder why the timing is so similar for everyone? Looks like you are on the case now, lots and lots of layouts there!! Happy WOYWW, stay safe, stay well, hugs Cindyxx #11
ReplyDeleteStill slightly awed by the way you sort the jigsaw pieces, and interested that the shape of the pieces is important - tbh I just assumed there was a couple of standard big fat dies that Jigsaw manufacturers used to stamp every puzzle! Glad that the lighthouse frustration has gone, good old undercoat! My lovely Gal lives in Worthing so we’re coming to know it quite well now. Lovely LOs, I’m sorry about your back - ouch. Would it help ease things if I said how much your purple hair is so you?
ReplyDeleteThat IS a lot of Layouts, WOW - I love your Lighthouses, those are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYou surely are a very creative artist
Thank you so much for sharing!
Happy WOYWW
