WOYWW #575 - Blue Lighthouse & Screen

Not done much crafting this week other than trying to paint a lighthouse blue like one I bought a while back.

Not getting the blue right at all...




Also found a lot of my Acrylic paints had died in their tubes/bottles!

Even got a blister on my finger when trying to open the tube really stuck tops!

Finished a tricky little jigsaw, 500 pieces but not much bigger than A4 size. The pieces are really tiny about half normal size.







The last thing was a purchase of a screen room divider, so all my life doesn't have to be shared during Zoom calls. Love it.
Oh and actually went to Asda yesterday, first time since March, and no queue either. Got some new pants as hubby wasn't going to get those in the weekly shop LOL.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #574 - Just Scrapping

Not much on my desk this week and not much done either, just a bit of scrapping.

So here are my 4 pages plus a lowdown of how I am feeling just now!


Struggling with this lockdown thing. Not for the talked about reason of being stuck in but quite the opposite, not wanting to go out!










I've suffered from OCD for many years and going places, travelling and the such like is a struggle, even to Asda! So now as my hubby has taken over the shopping, I'm not going anywhere much, not even for walks as too many dogs about in the fields and I'm terrified of them.

I've had an issue with my shoulder for nearly a year now, tried Osteopath, Steroid Injection, and Physio which took me up to lockdown but it's getting worse. I do have a consultant appointment for 7th August (hospital not open for this till August btw) but it makes for difficult sleeping and coupled with the hot flashes in this hot weather, I'm shattered in the mornings!




This past week we've even had workmen in to replace our 4 back windows (including my bedroom) which was postponed from the beginning on April. That's also added to the stress and last night I seemed to have a cold with sneezing and blowing nose all evening. So all in all quite fed up with life.

Hopefully a better WOYWW  for Everyone else.

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.

WOYWW #570 - A Bit of Both

Yep some Scrapping and some Bible Journalling this week...

... coupled with a tad of window art (thanks to last week's inspiration of Bridget)

and yet another finished jigsaw.




   

 

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

      

WOYWW #569 - Bible Journalling

Oh my goodness, my Bible Journalling goodies arrived last Wednesday morning, I got a new Bible with plain margins, some watercolours and a kit to get me going and going I got!












I had a practice in my Dylusions Journal first as I'd never really done any watercolour painting since a child!

Then has a go on the back page for my first attempt on the flimsy paper. The back page is becoming a collage of bits of my pages now.

I've done a few pages over the week, loving adding colour to my Bible.








And as if that wasn't enough, I finished a jigsaw without a "correct" picture - a who dunnit one.











I even managed to stick a scrapbook page down and plan a few more of those too.  Phew!

Happy WOYWW Everyone

PS. If you spotted the spelling mistake, well done! The kit I bought had the wrong spelling which I copied unwittingly on my first page. I was gutted when a friend pointed it out but I've left it despite lots of ideas as to how to change it.
