WOYWW 107

So I missed last week for the first time in weeks.  I just couldn't get myself into blogging.  But this week I thought I would share my other space ;-)  A couple of weeks ago I shared my children's art area and thought it might be good for me to use it too as it is all wipeable and there is a sink there.  It has worked out really well.  It means that my scrapping space stays clean and useable and that the children get to see my art work in progress.

(This photo hasn't been here all day as Blogger wouldn't let me post it - gah!)

I'm about to do a class with Kirsty Wiseman on art journalling called Me in my MoleskinE (big E on the end for ME) so it will get well used.  Add to that, I am currently painting 4 pirate canvasses for a friend's little boy's room which you can see in progress on the worktop there.  I painted some for L's room and she saw them and liked them.  It is the first time ANYONE has liked anything I've done enough to ask me to do something for them and I feel really chuffed.  I'm not charging her for a couple of reasons.  Number 1, its not a business and she is a friend.  Number 2, they are not my designs and I can't make any money from them.  Sadly I can't find the seller who was doing the original artwork so I can't tell her how much she inspired me with her fun and quirky pictures but I will keep searching for her.

Anyway, that's all from me today but I have other creations to share tomorrow.  Pop on over to Julia's blog to have a nose at other people's workspaces, whatever their work might be.  As usual, I will get to everyone who gets to me, plus some others depending on time - oh how we crafters wish we could stop the clocks once in a while....

Bye for now

  2. Hi Lisa-Jane, snap! Blogger won't let me upload my photo either and I'm quite relieved to find it isn't just me that's having problems. Look forward to seeing the pirate pictures eventually when normal service has been resumed. Elizabeth x #74

  5. Yes, Blogger's been playing up again - I just shrug and say 'Blogger it!' ;) What a pity though, the description sounds most intriguing....

    Looking forward to seeing you in Kirsty's class! xx

  9. I popped by earlier before Blogger started behaving with your photo and wanted to see your space so came back again and I'm glad I did. You look very at home in your new room and your pirate picture looks great. Don't forget to show us it when it's finished.
    Happy Crafting

  10. Hi - glad you liked my little shop pic - my little collages are just layers of fabric which I have stitched down with free machine embroidery - easy if you have a sewing machine.

  16. Another who can't wait to see the finished pirate paintings. I think they will be awesome:)
    Thanks for stopping by and how about adding a sticker to the side of your inkpads with the colour dabbed on, for easier identification in your tote.
