I have decided that the only way to survive is to be like a swan - all calm and serene on top and paddling like mad underneath! That is what I am having to do both at work and at home this week, and it really isn't helped by having some sort of infection that is giving me permanently aching limbs and head. Never mind, I am tough and I will survive!
This is a photo of Alex sat on my lap at my desk crafting with some stamps...he seems to love the time spent there, and thinks of it as a special treat on a Tuesday morning before school.
So for
WOYWW here is my desk after he left it yesterday morning...I am showing it like this as at the moment it is completely empty after a day spent working at it, and not crafting. This is just before I tidied everything away for work. My fresh mug of tea was there to sustain me, and the stamps, inks and pens were the ones that Alex used. He also left me a toy soldier hiding behind them - can you see him? The water spritzer was left over from an earlier project of mine, and the note pad has a list of things I need to do this week.
Here is one of Alex's creations...don't you just love the cheeky clown face!
This is my crafting effort for this week - not time to do anything more than this. This fits with
Less is More 'shiny' (gems),
All sorts 'paper piecing' (on the pram),
OLL 'Baby Baby' and
SSSS 'a bit of brown' (the pram is stamped in brown).That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro

Caro, I do hope you're feeling better soon. Being ill can be very discouraging--hang in there.
Your little fellow is adorable, and good for you letting him have some art time!
Didn't have much I could show this week, so went with
the WOYWW--Daughter Edition!
