Hello and welcome back to my blog. It is time for another edition of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, the friendliest blog hop in the world, hosted by the lovely Julia.
My workdesk has had a new large (enormous!) mouse mat put on it so that playing board & card games is easier and smoother. The mat hides all the nicks and dings that the desk has had through 20 years hard crafting which is an added bonus. In this photo you can see me mid game - the game is 'Coffee Roaster' which is a solitaire board game where you roast your coffee beans to try and brew the ideal cup of coffee. It is a fun premise that works well although I wish they did something similar for tea as I don't drink coffee at all!
These are all the lovely ATCs that I received in our anniversary swap last week. Top row (left to right): Julia, Mary Anne, Cindy and Lyn. Second row: Angela, Angela, Ali & Helen. Third row: Diana, Jan, Annie and jo, and the bottom row is Catriona. They are all so beautiful and different from each other. Each a special treasure that I will enjoy immensely. Thank you all so much.
I haven't had any time to craft this week as I have been busily sanding and painting the kitchen with a mist coat ready for the final colour selection. My shoulders ache like mad but it is nice to have made some progress. Needless to say I have also managed to swim a little as well so I will leave you with a picture of me playing in my local waterfall - it is one of my favourite places.
Take care and have a good week everyone,
With love & God Bless,
Caro

Oh what a relief to see my ATC made it to you. I loved yours. Thank you very much. I half expected it to coe in a freezer pack, encased in a block of ice LOL! But no, just in the mail.... We finished out painting just in time for the in-laws to arrive so I sympathize, even if it wasn't ME doing the painting this time. Love you massive mouse mat too BTW
Happy start of year 14!!

Huge mouse mats are awesome, we all have them, they are brilliant sp I share your admiration! The game sounds a lot of fun, I do a few online games each day to keep the old grey matter ticking over. Well done on the kitchen painting, it’s going to look so fresh and lovely when you’re done.

It’s a beautiful sight, seeing you in the waterfall, I can see totally why you love it, and I expect it did your shoulders some good too! Athletes and footballers have cold or icy baths after a match don’t they, only right that you should after a hard muscle workout painting. My, it is hard work too, but as ever, so worth it, bet you’ll be delighted with the result. You’re right about the ATCS, they are treasure!
It was such a lovely week with love flying around the world. We certainly connected. Thanks for your ATC.

Sanding and painting sounds like hard work! I am guessing swimming strengthens your shoulder muscles, even so, still hard work. Lovely display of received ATC’s. Happy WOYWW. Angela #16
