... Wednesday! Already! How can it be huh? One minute it is Sunday and then the next it is Wednesday which means that it is time, once again, for the hop of the week to commence... namely, What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday... hosted and devised by the inimitable Julia... hop on over HERE to see what this is all about. Being as I didn't get chance to get around to everyone last week, I thought I would have a little giveaway, open to all who comment on this post... the usual randomly picked winner jobbything... one person will win this piece that I made at the weekend using Studio 490 stashly delights, the winner will be announced next Wednesday :O))
So... this past week has seen me return to my slatternly ways... yes folks, the halo has well and truly slipped and the Room of Stash is once more the Room of Trash... I blame the sample making frenzy last week... but the truth is, I just haven't had the will to start... cleaning! I haven't even emptied my bin (not to mention the jar of mucky water... tsk tsk)
Featuring on my desk is... a chunk of wood that Grim had cut up the other day to test his power-sawthingymajig... and when I spotted said pieces of wood I said I needed them... Grim looked at me as if I had lost the plot (he does that quite often though so nowt new there eh?) When I explained about painting and altering he sort of got what I meant so he kindly screwed the two pieces together to make a shape... which is mid way thru the transformation... ok, I have painted it with Traditional Tan paint and then started playing with metal and flowers so ... erm... I haven't got much further.
Right.. I best go, I have more acupuncture later and... ouch, I have been in agony this past few days... not sure if it is over-doing it at the weekend or a reaction to the long-pointy-sharp-things (am not going to say needles again.... whoops!) Thanks for looking... have a goodly day! TTFN

Your space looks positively neat compared to mine! Looks like you had a great creative time and that wood thingy, well we all understand that it is a vital piece, what do husbands know about things like that? Can't wait to see it finished.

A really gorgeous piece of art and I just love your flower, its beautiful :)
Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen #11
Good Morning Hels, what a brilliant giveaway, the colours would suit me fine. Those flowers are to die for. Surely Grim should no by now that crafters keep everything ,even pieces of wood. LOL. You cannot create without a mess to go with it, part of the course I say. Hope you get on Okay to-day. Hugs Rita xx
Oooh lovely giveaway there and have fun with your wooden bit! Wasnt traditional tan a shade of tights once? (my Mom used to own a clothes shop which is how I know I never wore them myself!). Hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl No. 5
Beautiful card and the flower is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Karen 79 x
What a lovely piece of art, the colours are fantastic x x sue x x
Can't wait to see what you do with the pieces of wood! I wouldn't worry about the mess, my room is MUCH worse!!

Intrigued to see what you do with the piece of wood! love the flower pic ...fingers crossed! #40
What a fabulous creation - I do hope those unmentionable pointy things are giving you some relief
I hope your visit has the deired effect and relieves some of the pain. I love the rose on your artwork - really effective - and I just so happen to have exactly the right place to display it for you! Thanks for the chance to own some gorgeous Helsness!

Hi Hels - beautiful work. Who has time to clean when there is a piece of wood waiting patiently to be so much more....look forward to seeing what you make of it. WOYWW Hugs Helen 42
love thsi hels, tis gorgeous. Room is looking very "productive". Look forward to seeing the wood when you are finished with it. Hope acupuncture goes well x
Aw, hope you feel better! :)
I can hardly get in my scrap room without falling over stuff LOL but I would certainly find a home in pride of place for your beautiful 490 piece :) I might even tidy up some so I could get in to admire it! lol
Tee hee! I love how you stole that wood - just the sort of thing I might have done... and then spent ages scratching my head to know what to do with it! Good luck today but I know it'll be fine. I just know it!
Oh dear, the halo slipped. Really, though, it doesn't look too bad at all! I am most curious what you will do with the wood. :)
I hope the pokey things do the trick!
Cheers,
Susan #108
Sometimes the halo slipping is a lot more fun than keeping it straight!!
gorgeous bloomer too! show us how you made it please:D and i'm looking forward to seeing what the bit of wood becomes too!

Oh, how you exaggerate! Your desk isn't messy. You have a spot to work there in front of your chair. As for the mucky water, you never know when you may need it, right? Your desk looks like a fun place! Feel better!
Lisa Richards #114
I must be more of a mucky so and so than you cos that craft room doesn't look that bad to me lol! Thank you for the chance to win one of your lovely pieces of art. Good luck with the acupuncture - I'm pointy metal thing phobic so I've never been able to try that! gentle hugs Karen x
Never mind Hels - its fun that counts not tidiness Jacqui #120
Not surprised you haven't done any cleaning with being ultra busy at AP and then in such pain - hope it eases soon. Enjoyed my peep into your wonderful world of crafting once again - gentle hugs - Hazel, WOYWW #85 x

Really Lovely as usual Hels. So sorry you are in such pain at the moment-I'm sure its cos you have overdone things recently-you have been so busy. Hope the acupuncture help. Sx
I hope you're feeling a heap better after more pointy thing treatment. And as for the wooden bits...looks like an award...or a single bookend! I only emoty my bin when the overflowing-ness irritates me, so cannot think why yours should cause you concern!
My bin is NEVER empty!! Love you space and your giveaway is super cute! Happy WOYWW #122

Hi Hels,
Oh I'd love to see your little gem in my postal box!! Yum. The idea of a giveaway on one Wednesday and then posting the winner the following week has given me an idea. May I copy you?
I had an acupuncture appointment yesterday. They always seem to help me. I hope it helps you just as much. I try to go every couple of weeks.
Take care of yourself.
Happy WOYWW

Your flower is really beautiful and intrigued as to how you created it. You are so tallented and have a natural flair it seems. As for being tidy, don't stress it will get done one day, when the time is right, you can't rush these things. As for the bin, bin night is when mine gets done regardless. LOL
Eliza #103
Love the flower Hels and that is my favourite sentiment. Lesley
Oooh Hels, this one is a real stunner - and my fave colours too. And have to agree to everyone else; that flower is something else! Can't wait until the end of May! Love from Sarah and healing purrs from Jazz x
