WOYWW 199

Please don't panic.  That cup is not empty, the tea is just below the rim so all is good in the world :-)  

There is a thank you card made using some pink Papermania papers and that basket of flowers, and that's about all here really.  My study books are still there and I am mid-flow with my next assignment involving my travels, so not much time for paper creations at the moment.  I did manage to finish up 3-4 layouts from my pile of 19 almost-done's while Miss Bella and I were crafting together on Monday but the light is so poor at the moment that I daren't try and photograph them!  Will Spring ever really come or are we destined for a lifetime of Winter I wonder?


This is the finished card which looks better in real life without flash glare or dramatic colouring from tungsten lighting!

Much crafting is going on in the kitchen however, as it is the time of the Easter Bonnet Parade at school.  For the last 2 years we have taken pictures of this event in the sunshine under the blossom tree but I fear that this year it may be an inside job.  Management had offered to do the job this year but when scissors came to paper he backed out leaving with me 48 hours to create something for Louis.  We perused Pinterest and came up with a farm scene affair but the base layer wouldn't stick to the straw hat.  We ended up having to make the base hat and then sticking stuff on.  


We're getting there with me supervising and Louis doing and Bella sticking random bits to random bits.


Cotton wool sheep on the top and more daffodils to cover the dodgy bits and it should be okay.  The most important thing is that it fits his large oblong head without the need for a long length of ribbon to keep it in place!


So what fun are you having on your workdesk this week?  Let us have a look because sharing is caring and everyone is more than welcome over at our wonderful host, Julia's blog.

Bye for now

  2. He will wear it with pride!! Awesome job there...it's wonderful. I love all the details in it. If its any consolation, my boys are now of an age (20 and 17) where they would happily join in and wear Easter bonnets too. Five years ago, in the middle of stroppy teenager hood, they wouldn't have been seen dead in one, but have got over themselves now and quite enjoy being daft!!
    I love the card btw, it reminds me of William Morris tiles!!

  3. Wow, what fantastic Easter bonnets, these are great. They are doing a great job and obviously take after Mum in the crafting Dept.
    I think we are definitely destined for a new Ice Age judging by the forecasts. Our weather man said nothing is going to change until at least the middle of April!!! Cheery soul!!
    Happy Easter

  9. 'Should be OK'...it looks blooming marvellous from where I'm sitting! I fear you may be right about the photo session..the cherry trees in our village which are usually heavy with beauty by now are still empty and shivery looking. As are we all, huh!

  10. An Easter Bonnet Parade? Such fun


    Never been in one or seen one. What a sheltered/deprived life I've led

  19. What an adorable project. I love this idea of creating Easter bonnets, which is unfamiliar to my Texas self. :) I am a kindergarten teacher and think this would be such a fun project for my kiddos.
