Happy WOYWW! What is this? Why, it is the fantabulous
blog hop hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground where we open our
craft room doors to show what our work desks look like on Wednesday. And to show what fun crafty items everyone is
working on.
So last week was a nightmare; Monday flew into Friday,
which brought with it over three feet of snow.
The weekend was a blur of shoveling out and just a bit of crafting. So last night I managed a few moments to see
what this week’s Wanderlust lesson was about.
And since it was about pencils; a no muss/fuss/clean-up medium, I
managed to play a bit while dinner was cooking.
Aside from experimenting with pencils, it was also all
about basic figure drawing. Normally I’d
be all “No way—not interested…I can’t draw”, but again, it was easy pencils,
and I had 40 minutes; so here are my first ever attempts at figures. (I'm sorry they are so light) And aside from the long guy looking a bit
alien-like, I don’t think they suck.
And, because of all the giggling I was doing while drawing said Long Guy,
I’m even going to keep practicing!
And here are shots of some coasters I made for our
friends Brewery Tap room, with the new Tim Holtz Beer stamps (the first set I
made has had wonderful comments!)
And
then there is our back deck, at the peak of the storm. The railing is 40 inches high, and this is
not drifting, as our deck is protected by the house, and 5 feet off the
ground. Luckily we got most of the snow
off, as with today’s storm expected to bring in another 3 feet, I‘d be afraid
my deck would collapse!
So, there you have it. Now jump back to Julia’s and see
some more creative spaces. Stay Crafty,
my Friends.
Kim, I have not started week 7 of Wanderlust I liked the way Jamie drew the figures so I will gt into that later today. No snow here. We expect temps in the high 70s later for now we have a cold north east wind.

Hi Kim. Oh my word! you really have had a load of snow dumped, haven't you?! Keep safe and warm. Well done on the experimenting with pencils - looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

I did watch Jamie's video but haven't done the lesson (or any of the previous ones... yet again!) that is some snow.... glad we don't get that much! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteHi kim, loving the coasters you made. The funny thing is that we've had loads of snow here too though not the whole of the UK. We're in a part that doesn't normally get it in the East but it came from a different direction this time so we got loads. Have a great woyww and a lovely creative week, Angela x18x
ReplyDeleteWow! Now that is some snow!

Hi Kim, we had hardly any snow in comparison to you! Love those beer coasters; I will have to look out for the new stamps. Happy WOYWW Sarah #7
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, wow thats a lot of snow! People would behave as though the world was ending if we ever had that much over here! You are not alone with having bought stacks of vellum & mulberry paper. I think I almost cornered the world market,lol. I have the stupidest amount. Like you, I used to use loads, this outing is probably the first in 6 months. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 XxX
ReplyDeleteOhemgee Kim, that is a lot of snow, a lot of shovelling and a lot of worry about the deck and the next storm! Ouch! I haven’t looked or seen new stuff by TH for ages, the beer mats you made are just fab, greatidea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome coasters!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from snowy Scandinavia
