WOYWW #825 - Struggling

Sincere apologies for not visiting last week, been really struggling with this head cold. 

Thought I was getting better Monday but have been knocked sideways yet again. 

Desk is a bit of a layered dumping ground. 

Been trying to follow the BB Bash this year but not really liking the format and not well either.

Managed some Messy, Repetition, Scraps bits last week but my heart wasn't in it much.

Did my Bible watercolour for LENT week 3

Observe and Learn - Jeremiah 8:7

Even the stork in the sky

    knows her appointed seasons,

and the dove, the swift and the thrush

    observe the time of their migration.

Also Week 3 of scripture writing following the names of Jesus and a You Version Plan.

I thought of an additional name for Jesus and came across an old printable of a door so did a page in my Faith Journal too.

I used some of the mark making I had done in the BB Bash.

John 10:9

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

Really hoping I'll be able to visit this week. I'm not going to Church group again (my usual Wednesday morning thing) as not up to it yet and don't wish to spread any germs. So I should have the time but will I have the inclination???

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #824 - Watercolour

Gosh, a bit under the weather this week, sore throat and lethargic.

On my desk there's the sheet of scanned foliage and flowers I shared some time ago. 

I've just made another 2 sheets and hopefully the links below will work!

Also I have just started week 3 of Lent scripture writing.

This is Week 2 finished...

On Sunday I did the weekly Lent Bible Journaling devotion from Devotion in Action. A bee hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world.

Also, I finally got my new birthday watercolours out and tried them out. I followed a video in the JOTW facebook group and painted some flowers and foliage.

Here is a PDF of what I did for personal use only.

Happy WOYWW everyone.

WOYWW #823 - BB Bash

Yay the desk as I was doing something. 

Thought it about time I finished scrapping LAST March. 

Had the pages laid out for a couple of weeks!!

Here are the pages.

Also on my desk is my cobbled together LENT "journal". Didn't get around to making a special journal so I'm writing out the daily verses in my writing journal and adding any appropriate pictures or dies. Trying to use up stuff.

I'm following the daily plan from a Facebook Bible Journaling group using the mini freebie printable.

I printed the booklet half size and stuck it in my journal

They are journaling the names of Jesus...

This is week one, Ash Wednesday to Saturday. LENT actually "skips" the Sundays to make the 40 days. The Names are Crown, Bread, Light and Song.

I'm also following a Lent Journaling Plan on the You Version App and writing out those scriptures too.

Devotion in Action is doing a weekly LENT series on Birds, here's my first entry.

The bunny was a couple of years ago.

For my Sunday I did some embroidery for my fabric book. 

A little rainbow using some of the new fabrics I got the other week.

Just left to mention the BB-Bash which starts at the weekend for a fortnight of creative fun paper and fabric based...

 BB Bash March 16th-29th March 2025.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #822 - What a Week!

Oh my life, just uploaded my photos and forgot to take a photo of the desk AGAIN! All I can say is, it is its usual fairly tidy self, with very little crafting this week as it's been a bit of a week...

Last Wednesday was my late Dad's birthday so I was rather soulful and didn't make it round many desks at all, I'm sorry. Also we finally had our gas connection updated (had road closures since 2nd January and they are still in force now making life rather tiresome!) 

Friday was our 27th anniversary and we did a little geocaching in the sunshine. I never made a card in the end as I just wasn't in the mood. Our wedding was the last time I saw my Dad before he died so it's a difficult time for me.

The windmill is a church, who'd've thought! It was in the "car park" of the golf club on Reigate Heath so not something you'd drive by.   

I thought the gate down one of the footpaths to Shagbrook was rather arty.

I finally got around to the celebration faith journaling page following the process video plus my own take on it.

It was based on turning our backs to the world and following Jesus with all our hearts, it was such good timing for me.

I guess that's it really...

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
