What's on My Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks...the reason behind me taking August and September off as holibobs was to get ahead of the game with the prep for the October Workshops and that marathon to beat all marathons the Fiskars Workshop Prep for the NEC and guess what...all those good intentions have gone down the pan....oh yes I've been doing my usual faffing around with stuff that doesn't factor into the scheme of things...that "no deadlines looming" play stuff and while I'm at it...have a huge confession to make. While sorting out the pile of DVD's when the new furniture arrived...I came across the boxed set of Larkrise to Candleford and yes you've guessed right...I've been snuggled up on the sofa most afternoons drinking coffee...stuffing my face... eyes glued to the telly..enjoying it all over again...well what else is a girl supposed to do when it's chucking it down with rain.
Now I've got that off my chest...it's time to get back to work but first I just have to join in the fun and play along with Julia and all her lovely crafty cronies over at WOYWW.
So what's planned for today to keep my bum off that sofa...
beware...the top secret boffins are out in force...so carefully edited pics only....
a canvas and some Annie Sloan paints...
 fabric...chipboard and kraft paper and I can't possibly show you the stamps or that would just give the whole game away....
 just an itty bitty sneaky peek...

but if I should feel the need of a change of scene....my September DT kit has arrived from The Ribbon Girl ...
and no doubt it is full to bursting with yummy delicious goodies....can I resist the temptation to put the kettle on...sit down and have a little peek.
Thanks everyone for your comments about the Big Red Bus....unfortunately a dream which is unlikely to come true....it sounds idyllic but it was just a bit of wishful thinking...crikey it would probably be a logistical nightmare...think of all the form filling...the permissions and no doubt Mr "Nitty Picky "Health & Safety would be breathing down our necks with his clipboard and pen poised to strike...and let's face it...poor old Cliff just couldn't keep up with "Girls Who Just Want To Have Fun".
Catch up with you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx

    Well Kath, Glad you got to chill out, it is hard not to break out the choccies when you sit to watch TV.

    Can't wait to see what you make with all those goodies, I would have torn that tissue paper of in a flash.
    LOL at the thought of you and Cliff.

    Good morning Kath, I understand the faffing around, I am an expert. Your ribbon girl bundle looks exciting, I would have the paper ripped of that to see what was inside. Laura

    Larkrise to Candleford was my one weakness too and am looking forward to
    Downton Abbey starting again soon. Nice green paint and floral fabric on your workdesk today. It has Laura Ashley feel.

    Sounds like you were 'vegging out' as my daughter calls my sitting and watching TV cause I don't have the umph it takes to do anything. That is usually when I don't feel so hot so she doesn't push me. Have a great time peaking at that pink package. Vickie

    Lol - love the teasing in this post. You were so restrained with your pinky parcel. I'd have ripped it open before I could get on with the day!! Look forward to investigating the contents sometime soon :D xx

    It’s good to ‘faff’, that’s what we crafters do best!

    The ribbon parcel looks so inviting, I wonder what’s in it?
    Can’t wait to see, but if it’s as gorgeous as that cream lace you’re going to be a happy bunny……..well you’ll be a happy bunny whatever, I’m sure!

    Happy Crafting!

    Teasing peeps with sneaky peeks and unwrapped parcels, sounds like you're back to normal, no more sofa days for you! Although I do like Larkrise to Candleford.

    You're a woman after my own heart, I can't think of anything nicer that to site watching the tv of an afternoon (I wish). Hope that you thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This looks thoroughly interesting - especially that lace on the kraft. Now is that a Sir Tim acrylic block I see - have just seen where to get those so might indulge.
    Hope you have a productive day.

    Nothing wrong with having the odd sofa day, especially when it's raining :) Lovely stuff out on your desk this week - that fabric looks yummy. And I'd love to see what's in that ribbon package - how could you tease like that! Elizabeth x #70
