Hullo everyone. Here we are, another week and we are halfway though already! So tis time for WOYWW or What Is On Your Workdesk Wednesday. So do please join us at Julia’s wonderful blog of the Stamping Ground to sticky beak peek at the glories of desks of the world!
Here is my desk today - mm, there is top left a card outlined there (with printed Garfield comic - he likes him:D). I hope to get my nephews card done today too seeing as his birthday is in a couple of days, plus some software to download!
And yes, some of the remnants of last weeks work there - I know! Di that snippet card is not finished but hey, have finished another instead so will enter this on in Di's snippets Challenge and so can now join the fun in the play ground!! woo hoo here I come!!
Did that bit of brayering and stamping months ago and threw it in the scrap box as one side I did not like! Then thought why not cut it off and used another bit if scrap black to mount, The cream cards - well hate to think how long I have had that set and never ever used before, and just scored a wee frame around it - simple!
Here are some pickies I took yesterday on my walk down to the beach 5 mins from here. We are being blessed with the most amazing winter weather it is about 18C each day and down to 9C at night or so and I just love all this sunshine from the LORD - let me share it with you!
 |
| The creek mouth has changed yet again in the last few weeks! |
 |
| There have been some very large seas with king tides of late, and these have brought up lots of extra treasures. Lots of shells on the beach, plus some other sea critters - this is "cungy-boy" as we call it and they live on rocks and attached to the timber structures of our jetty. They squirt water out at low tide to help with breathing when not under water. I think it is a colloquial name as Google brought up very little on it, but have called it as long as I can remember by that name. |
 |
| This is a large dinner plate sponge! |

| Low tide at the creek, late afternoon reflections. |
That's all from me today off to do some more jobs (and maybe finish those cards)!
Thanks so much everyone for popping over for a peek and chat and may God bless your day wherever you may be.,

ReplyDeletelove the cards and pictures from the beach. It must be awesome to be that close to water all the time. I live in the hot humid plains in the south central part of the states and most lakes/ponds are man made around here. Hope you have a great week. vickie #23

Lovely post Shaz with some beautiful photos. You are so lucky to be so near to the beach.

ReplyDeleteAs always, I love seeing your piece of heaven. The cards are just beautiful.
I'm not linking up today as time got away from me. I wanted to pop in to see what you've been up to.
Hugs,

That would be so awesome to live that close to the ocean, I can only imagine. I only have a tiny creek running in my backyard and I am so thankful to have that small bit, I would be over whelmed to have a whole ocean! Thanks for sharing pictures of it! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post full of wonderful pics... love the cards,, Hugs May x x x#62
ReplyDeleteLove your brayered card, Shaz, the colours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteNow you are just rubbing it in with those blue skies in your Winter, how wonderful to enjoy your beach photos again, I love seeing them. You live in a stunning part of the world and your weather is better than our so called Summer!!!! I think I'm moving down under!!
Happy WOYWW

Your brayering is fab. I have bought a brayer but still have to be brave enough to have a go at the technique. So much else going on at present just not enough hours in a day. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeletep.s. Can we do the see saw together!
What a fantastic post, Shaz! Your photos are both stunning and educational!!
ReplyDeleteLove your beachy shots - looks a lovely place to while away a day. And the card is very pretty too :)

ReplyDeletexxDaniella#167
How could I miss you out yesterday Shaz - and I waved to you as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those delightful pictures of your walk down to the beach, the creek looks lovely and you have been informative too.
Love your brayering and thanks for letting Monkey in on the picture.
Hugs, Neet #21 xx
Hello Miss Shaz, lovely desk this week, really like that card and can't believe you didn't like the stamping at first. Love the scenery shots, you can tell it's a different season, there's more clarity to the pics without the heat of your summer. Talking of which, yours will be on the way back now that we've just had the Solstice, for us though the dark will start claiming the day though! Terrible to be thinking of winter in June, lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Hugs

Another marvellous WOYWW post from you! The brayered card is stunning. In fact I might have a go at doing something similar tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Shaz for your lovely comment and I just wanted to say that my blanket were made in "waste" time! The first large bed size was made over 6 weeks after reading in a mag that if you make a square a day you'll have 365 for a blanket in a year. I started making them in waiting rooms, whilst travelling etc., and it was done in only 6 weeks!! and it made me so proud that it was from precious time which would otherwise have been unused and there I had something lovely and of use.
ReplyDeletelove Jo x
your camera phone is nicer than mine loL!
ReplyDelete...gorgeous array of cards Shaz all looking very fine indeedy...monkey has a new top since I last saw him, which is ages!, he looks very on trend with his badge!...and I must say you live in a stunning part of the world those piccy's are awesome and make me wish I was there too!...thanks for dropping by me...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and wonderful cards! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog Shaz, what a truly beautiful place you live in. I'm going to have a browse through your work, this first card I've seen is just lovely x
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange I looked at your card and thought wow but the very thought of picking up a brayer myself makes me feel nervous like it is going to bite me lol. Love the card and the beach pictures are fab. Hugs, Amanda x
