Welcome Wednesday wanderers! I hope the weather is pleasant where you are.
Things have been very busy here with Miss Bella starting in full time school and lots and lots of creative things going on.
Back last week I mentioned that I had treated myself to some new Promarkers from a recommendation on this very blog hop. They arrived the next morning but sadly a couple of the pens had been overfilled due to a new distribution centre being used. This resulted in flooding and spilling and staining to my desk. Thankfully both Joanna Sheen and ColART who supply them have been brilliant and I am expecting replacements and "other goodies" in the post any day.
This week I have been using my Promarkers to colour this little card for Management for our crystal wedding anniversary (15 years).
I also made this pretty bag charm for a friend for her 40th birthday. She loves bumble bees so I added one for each of her 3 babies, a little friend to represent me, and lots of other things that are important to her or just look purdy.
We've also been busy this week hatching out this little fellow. A caterpillar landed on Management's shirt when he was in the garden and so our intrepid little David Ballamy wannabe immediately put it inside his insect jar along with some leaves for him to eat. When we saw that a pupae was forming, Louis put him in the butterfly tent. Then it went black. And we waited. And waited. Nothing was happening and I was about to admit defeat and get rid of it but the next morning this wonderful little Herald moth had hatched out. Isn't he beautiful!?
So what have you been up to this week? Got anything creative to share or just a pile of stuff that needs putting away? Whatever you've been doing, sharing is caring, so don't forget to link up with the rest of the What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday? brigade at Julia's blog.
Bye for now

That's a very beautiful moth, never seen one if those before! How exciting watching it hatch out :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really glad you got the pens sorted out....hopefully the new ones won't give you any grief.
Hugs, LLJ 33 xx

You gotta love good customer service. your card is so cute. Happy crafting #5
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought customer service was a thing of the past. That's GREAT to hear that the company is getting it right!
ReplyDeleteThe card is so cute - love the little bunting.
The moth is just beautiful! There's been something flying around in my backyard that looks like a cross between a moth and a hummingbird - it even has the beak of a hummer.
Happy WOYWW
