 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go HERE. Maybe you could join our little group!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all experiencing a lovely Spring! It has come a bit early to us here, our daffodils are already blooming, the grass is nice and green, but it's still fairly chilly (8°C this morning). Mittsy still refuses to go out for more than a minute or so, but Inky is out every day.

Here is my desk this morning. I have started on my Fodder School 1 lesson for May, another collage lesson, by Laura Dame. She has us doing a lot of geli prints to start off, a bit more advanced than the last month's lesson




I now have a box full of these! I think I will work on them for one more day then go on to the next step.

I have also still been busy with my little card collages:






I really like these, I may make more!

And 2 journal pages this week:



I used my new Megan Quinlan Washi Tape and stencil for this one. I've never had such beautiful Washi Tape!

Well, that's it for me today, the kitties say "meow" to their kitty cousins out there, and have a great week!

Hello everyone! I missed last week because I was sick for a few days with a terrible cough, but all is well now! I did keep up with my 100 days challenge as I had several ATCs made at once and waiting to be posted, so that worked out well. Here is my desk this morning - it REALLY needs a tidy! 


I don't have much room to work anymore!

Here is the journal page you see on my desk:


We were lucky enough to be right on the path of the Solar Eclipse on Monday! It was such an incredible experience. We went down to the end of our street to a park, and watched it with some of our neighbors over Lake Ontario. It felt like we were on the edge of the world, especially as the eclipse became full.

This is what it looked like as we were sitting and watching the moon slowly cover the sun. It took about an hour, and it was a cloudy day, but we could see it clearly with our solar glasses, then all of a sudden it got very dark and very cold



This is during the full solar eclipse. It looks a lot brighter in the photo than it was, and I don't know why the camera translated it into a big ball of light, that isn't what we saw. The colours all along the horizon were incredible. And we could see tiny red lights going on across the lake on the windmills, and then, pretty quickly, it got light again, like someone turned on the light switch! It was kind of eerie, and very quiet.

Here are my collages from the last 2 weeks: My Butterfly ATC set





And then I found a bunch of cards I had made up a year or so ago, thinking I would have backgrounds ready for easy cards, but I never did use them...


So I decided to collage on them




I will finish up the cards, and then I'm starting a new lesson in my Fodder School 1...more collage! So it will be a little different than the previous lesson. I have learned so much just with this last lesson from Sarah Gardner.

I will leave you with this super cute photo of Mittsy, I was just going up the stairs the other day when I looked up and saw this


and had to snap a pic! Well, I hope everyone has a lovely crafty week, the kitties say "meow" to all their furry cousins out there!

Hello everyone! Today we are having some Spring Showers, which is much better than the blizzard we had on Friday!

Here is my desk this morning, nothing much on it as I just tidied it up (silly me!)

You can only see a small part of my desk in this photo, so I thought I would show the rest of my desk as well today. Directly in front of me:



To my left:


To my right:


All my pens and markers:

And here are the ATCs and 4x4's I've made this week:






This week I tried adding stickers to my 4X4s. I had a purple one as well, but I think Mittsy did something with it, it has simply disappeared! So a big clean-up of the art room may find it.

On the weekend we visited DD and Jasper. It's hard to believe she's 3 in 2 months! We brought her some Easter pressies...

Coloured some Easter eggs...

And I taught her how to use a paintbrush without scraping it across the paper...

Such a lovely weekend! I hope all of you are enjoying life, and have a crafty week! Inky and Mittsy give purrs to all their kitty cousins!

Happy Spring!🌹🌹🌷🌷Julia, you were right, the snow is still with us for awhile, it snowed yesterday all day❄️❄️ but at least it melted of the road - no shovelling!

Here is my desk this morning:


I've still been working on my ATCs, trying to make variations here and there, also tried 4x4s which I enjoyed making. Hope you don't get bored with all the ATCs!





And here are the 4x4s:


That's it for today, and here is the first full day of Spring from my office window this morning!


The cat hammock sits empty, no sun to bask in! I hope everyone enjoys their week, the kitties give purrs and meows to all their kitty cousins!
