WOYWW 183 - stuff!

Hello my friends!

Firstly a quick apology for not getting round many of you last week, I just haven't been able to sit at the laptop for too long.  Another hospital appointment sees me struggling again after having my legs, knees specifically, bent every which way and pins stuck in me!! But that was good, cos it showed that it is my conditions causing problems not anything  horrible happening with my spine. Phew! My knees are a strange set of problems but I'll not bore you with those this time of the morning!

So the desk, poorly lit, but I confess I'm only showing half my work space because there are things on the other side I don't want people to see (Christmas presents!) -


So there's the box of Card Candi, a pile of .....erm.... leftover sheets I need to put away cos I've used some of the images from them. The rather lovely Creative Expressions project book which I bought cos our very own Gabrielle has a project in there (to be honest that's the reason I bought it!!). Then there's a character I coloured and a decoration I made!


Closer look at the colouring - I tried different colours to do the red hair after seeing different combinations on Pinterest. I'm rather pleased with it and love the vibrancy. Wish my own hair would look like that!

Time to see Keagan off to school before I go back to bed, yep being lazy. But on a serious note my fatigue has stepped up a few notches so I'm resting and sleeping when I can.  I've found if I do sleep in the morning  I tend to sleep better at night. So far anyway. I just go with what my body is telling me, though yesterday I could have slept all day! 

Right lovely people take care out there.
Love Zo xx

  3. Nothing wrong with doing what your body tells you, Zoe. you need to take care of yourself. I think we'd all like to snuggle back under the duvet if we could.
    I love your colouring with her red hair and that ornament looks gorgeous.
    Happy WOYWW

  6. Hi Zo!
    I like your ornament and coloring...you are right - different tones of the same color make the picture much more vibrant! Enjoy your rest - wish I could have one! I have problems with my knees too but I keep on going...
    Lots of hugs,

  7. Happy WOYWW. This is the 2nd week I haven't joined in (we had a week in Spain and didn't get back until late yesterday). Glad to hear that your hospital visit didn't find anything else to worry about, and that you are managing to get some sleep. Love the colouring of the character. I really must get some colouring practice done next year. Ali x

  8. Listen to your body! Sleep can be a good and neccessary thing! I have knee issues myself, thinking losing 30 lbs would probably help a lot! lol Take care and waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

  11. The colourings come out lovely! Would you recommend the book regardless of the fact your friend's in it? I've seen several inspiration books around and don't know whether to go for one or not.

  13. Perfect, brilliant colouring there Miss Zoe! Wow. Am thrilled that only half your desk on show means the trouvé for pressies on the go....gives me hope for my plans!! Great idea to nap when your body tells you to, makes the in between hours easier and more productive...if a bit intense, I guess! You keep on gal.

  19. That is some gorgeous red hair! I, too, would love to have red hair...when I was younger and spent lots of time in the sun my brunette hair would lighten into a pretty red shade but I'm allergic to the sun now so...anyways, thanks for sharing your desk with us! :) Deeyll #122
