Paperweights and lazy rainy days

It has been a few weeks since I have played along with

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

hosted by Julia Dunnit over at 

http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/

partly because I was on holidays

and also because I have done very little

which isn't my fault entirely

okay it is 

but I kind of like the idea of being delusional sometimes

I am laying the blame

at the feet of the weather  which in the last few days

has been horrid rain and more rain

flash flooding and constantly wet dog rain

so that means it is reading and drinking tea weather

not sitting in the studio and watch the pool overflow weather

I started doing a painting of my desk yesterday

because that was a great project a few weeks ago and I liked the idea

of having a painted record of my desk for the year

But staring to paint in my orange coffee cup is about as far as I got

and I got distracted with making some paperweights

which I love by the way

but that rain just told me to go

and cuddle on the lounge with the dog

and a cuppa

and Book Four in the Song of Fire and Ice series of books

so the paint water remains

at that not quite science experiment stage

Paints remain untouched

I am still three weeks behind in this class

and soon to be four

if I keep going the way I am

and haven't even started these yet...

though I have watched the the weeks 1 and 2 lessons

over at Doodles Unleashed

I haven't put together the cards and gift cards

and notebooks 

to go down to restock my shelf at 

The Collective Store

in fact I am sure the only thing I will be able to say I have achieved is

going to visit some other WOYWW blogs

and hopefully I will be shamed into getting stuck in and doing some work

BUT

On a totally different tack

 I was lucky enough to win a draw over at

Vicki Holdwick over at Faint Heart Art

so there will be a zine by Andrea Joseph 

coming my way which is very exciting

and of course it isn't like I did anything special to get it

but just so excited because I never win anything

head on over and have a look at what Vicki is doing

I will post some pics when it arrives so you can all be jealous...

The lounge and book are calling...

Happy Creating...xx
