Hello again, WOYWWers, time once again to head over to Auntie Julias at The Stamping Ground for our regular nosey round the desks. Heres mine this week, featuring those tiny beads Jozarty told us about last week, courtesy of Poundland. I actually bought two, as I shall keep one as is, and I thought I could make up some mixes from the second one. I also think the empty vials will make cool embellishments too.
Next to them, a couple of things from The Works- two mini artists mannequins, and a small canvas & easel. Not as small as the mini ones they have,this one is 6 inches by about 4 1/2. At the back, the start of a card for a First Holy Communion- making use of my glittered crosses. All the things I glittered are in the previous post, and I think its time to put the glitter away & start using them on some cards now.
One more lovely picture to show you, my son Mikey (who moved out to live with his girlfriend last year), decided they wanted to get a cat. At first they were going to have a kitten, then he said they wanted to adopt a cat from a shelter. So they went along to one of the Cats Protection branches near them, and here is Mikey with Pumpkin:
She was taken to the shelter after what was probably a road accident, and lost an eye because of that. Mike says she's settled in happily, and follows him everywhere- the shelter were surprised how quickly she took to him when they visited- apparently she wasn't very bothered with visitors. But she was purring at him when he fussed her, and that settled it, lol. He decided she was the cat for them, and a couple of days later the shelter phoned & said they could collect her. So a happy ending for Pumpkin- Mikey loves her to bits.I've also linked this one to Wipso's Friday Smile this week.
One final note, Monday was Geoffs funeral. It was a lovely service , and the Crematorium was packed with Family, friends and old colleagues. The wake was held at a local hotel afterwards, giving everyone a chance to swap memories & stories about him. Becky & Marg picked the tune to play at the very end of the service, as everyone was leaving, and it probably tells you a lot about what Geoff was like- Monty Pythons Always look on the Bright Side of Life! I could just see him laughing at that.
