WOYWW?

Bit late.....well a lot late posting this! WOYWW time again so why not pop over to see Julia and the rest of the gang :)

The other side of my little cupboard of craft!


It has my Fiskars cutter permanently there on the desk top...along with offcuts of paper/card still to be stored away/used! LOL...I'm still trying to decide what to do with the pringles cartons!
The little shelves have nearly all my wood mounted stamps on them...I say nearly as my T!m skeleton one is stored in a really useful box with the more frequent used unmounted/acrylic ones....hey as a bonus you get a shot of my tootsies!! LOL


I have 101 little/medium sized jobs that need to be done! I have to do them or my brain starts thinking and when it starts thinking I start to well up.....I am fed up of welling up so I need to not think and just do!

This is something I have just done.....


My friend was going to take this to the tip as she has just bought a beautiful new wooden patio set to die for.........I've grabbed this and tarted it up with some black Hammerite.....it was silverish and on the rusty side! LOL

  1. Black hammerite is such brilliant stuff ...love what you have done.

    I find it hard to believe that two wonderful ladies on here have lost their OH's within weeks of each other. Keeping occupied is great but let the tears out too ...all my love xx

  8. Love what you have done with table. It has been proven that it is better to let the tears out, keeping them in just drives it deeper and cause other things, let it go - I remember crying while walking my dog once when I was grieving - and I thought what on earth.....

  9. Love your table. Keeping busy is good therapy but there's nothing wrong with tears. Let it all out if you feel like it. You are amongst friends here :-)

  10. Wow, what a fab finish you got on the table...great job. I understand the need to move around and avoid the thinking, but it will exhaust you and the thinking will happen anyway....don't bottle it gal, it's not good for you. ANd certainly don't worry about what others think...they aren't friends if they think you shouldn't be having moments and tears by now. Gracious.

  21. I did the same thing to my mum's white metal patio set that she no longer wanted, Black hammerite it's brilliant, made a cheapy set look real posh and expensive! Now mum's thinking she'd like it back! (no way....!!)
    Hope you like my freebie this week thought I'd add that it's best printed on landscape, I've only just added that on my blog! (Other wise you only get half the houses!) someone email me that they couldn't print it, I didn't think to say, I thought people would realise! ((Lyn)
