A bit late for me, but I've not been so good today and it's taken me till now to sort myself out to post.
The desk is empty to be honest apart from 2 things drying which are -
A notebook I've covered - the covers were a bit battered and I had coloured this character and loved her so didn't want to give her away or lose her, so I thought I'd put her on my notebook as I use it all the time!
These are pages in my Green Smash book I use for memories and I'm preparing pages for a special memory and going to use it for a DT project coming soon!
So that's it, there isn't anything else happening on my desk. I'm starting to feel a bit cooped up as I've not been able to go out since last Thursday, it's just not worth the risk of me falling as my sticks don't work well on snow and ice nor does the wheelchair!
But the view from my craft room is quite pretty. Believe it or not, there is an old railway track up there which is a museum. They run steam trains along it and I can on a clearer day see the men restoring carts and track etc.
Right that's me done, pop over to Julia's to find better desks and probably snow pictures!
Take care Zo xx
Love the image on your notebook and can see why you didn't want to lose it!
ReplyDeleteSo - you peep on men working do you? Well, it is such a rare sight....men....working!
Keep safe and warm!
Hugs

I love the snowy rooftop view you have and does the team engines actually run? It would be cool to see one running with all thesnow around it. I'm so sorry it's not a good day and you're right, it's not worth going outside and risking a fall, but I do think you need snow tires on your chair! lol Thanks for visiting my desk, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Zo (this might be the 2nd comment)
ReplyDeletei can see why you love the image so much she is gorgeous, especially the colouring. at least you have your crafting to keep you entertained. stay warm and have a good week
janet #30
ah Zoe, I have not got your mobility issues and I always use a walking stick (or two) in this weather, blogging is a lifeline hun, so your effort is always appreciated, so you will reap reward for your efforts,
ReplyDeletekeep your pecker up and your bum firmly in a warm seat,

Sorry to hear it has been a bad start to the day for you Zoe! I don't mind aging but the disabilites I have inherited with it put me at wits end some days. It is cooler today so everything is paining! Love the view from your roof top room! Thanks for stopping by my desk! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #35
ReplyDeleteglad you're safe, warm and happy up in your snowy roof top view. glad you managed to join in too.
ReplyDeletenow I too was going to ask about the spying... do you have binoculars?
love jo x
Hope you have felt a bit better as the day went on, Zoe. Your coloring on the girl in the pink skirt is so good -- I'm glad you've kept her for yourself to enjoy. Happy WOYWW to you, in your room with a view. ~ Laura #119
ReplyDeleteSorry the snow makes life even more difficult for you... We all complain about getting about but it's almost impossible for you
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing how the smas book looks
Jackie
That's the downside of all this snow...it does look pretty but makes life tough for some. It looks like its thawing this weekend so hopefully you'll be out and about very soon. Blogging and crafting are a good thing to do...your colouring is amazin btw....truly awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 37 xx
Will watching these pages develop into a work of art!
ReplyDeleteAs a basement crafter with no window in my little paradise, I am green with envy at that fabulous view...I love the peeping on the workmen story!
My grandfather was a railroad contractor. He built railroads in the US and in Canada.He was one of 10 contractor who built the section thru Hell's GAte on the Frazer River. It is a popular tourist spot as the river is very scary there and there are fish ladders to get the salmon home to spawn. There is an ariel tram to view the river as well.
Anyway...sorry for the ramble...but if I had a birds eye view of workmen and anything to do with trains (especially stream trains) I would have to scrapbook a layout! teehee
I love your coloring!! And your journal looks promising already!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the weather!! I can't go out in the snow either, so I feel you!!!
Feel better!!
xxDaniella#107
I can see why you didn't want to part with her, Zoe! She makes a perfect journal cover!
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather turns nice soon so you aren't cooped up much longer and that you start feeling better, too. Thanks for visit to the Playhouse earlier! Take care!! Darnell #131.
I can feel your frustration at being stuck inside, I hope the thaw comes soon (and without flooding!) so that you can emerge, butterfly like from your cocoon....!!! Love the work you have managed to do though! Helen, 9
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated WOYWW. I am hating this cold weather, as we have not had enough snow to make it pretty/fun, and not even enough frost to keep the mud away. Warmer at the weekend, but then rain/wind returns (which I hate). In other words I really need to move to Spain! Having a rubbish few days health-wise too. We are off to a farmers' dinner tomorrow and staying overnight at the posh hotel, so hope I feel well enough to enjoy it. Ali x #93
ReplyDeleteYes when one is not well blogging is a chore but I am glad you made it and thank you so much for commenting on my blog! Your notebook looks much cuter now! I know what it is like having problems walking in the snow - I have a stick too and you just feel so insecure all the time! Hopefully the snow goes away soon and sunny days come back! That railway in the back of your house must be interesting!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs,
Cardarian
Thank you for your kind words, my daughter got the best news and I am so grateful for the kindness of strangers.
