My desk is very bare! I actually put stuff away and it will not change until I come back from Card and a Cuppa tomorrow. That's if my lady doesn't cancel. If the weather is awful she may as she walks there, using a stick.
So - an empty desk
Below my bag packed for Card and a Cuppa
Also been doing a bit of knitting. just squares for charity
For those interested - What I've been up to :-)
On Friday we went to Yorkshire to visit our eldest son and family. We went to celebrate Matthew's birthday.
See the new kitchen/diner/family room ( I have kitchen envy :-) )
On Saturday Carolynn took me and her Mum to The Piece Hall in Halifax, https://www.thepiecehall.co.uk/ where we browsed the shops and had lunch.
I bought a couple of things including a book I fancied , signed by the author who was there. A lovely lady to talk to. I will add more details next time.
Below eldest on Sunday with Ralph their Beagle!
Carolynn and Matthew , sent from their hotel
Had a really lovely weekend, much needed.
Very wintry scenes on the way home.
Sorry a bit long and photo heavy.
Card and a cuppa sounds like fun, it will be card & cuppa for one for me today hee hee! I'd have Kitchen envy too what an amazing space.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to Matthew.

I wish I lived a bit closer as I'd like to come to your workshops - cards for men sounds a good one, I always end up buying jokey ones. Gorgeous kitchen there, it's like out of a Homes magazine!!

Hi Anne, you are not alone in the kitchen envy! I reckon you could fit the whole of our downstairs level in that one! Good to hear you had such a great weekend, liking the Cards for Men. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X
ReplyDeleteHope the weather is kind to you for your card and cuppa time. Love your family catch ups.

Morning Anne. What a lovely post - filled with all your efforts through the week - glad you had such a good time with your family. My youngest grandchild became a teenager on Sunday - I'm feeling very old!!! - the cards for the workshop look good, and your card and a cuppa bag looks exciting - hope the weather is up to the lady coming.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

"Cards for men"... now that's something else isn't that... I do have a few 'tricks' I use all the time when it comes to men's birthdays. I think we all do that isn't it?! I loved looking at all the photos so I didn't mind the photo-heavy at all! Glad you enjoyed the weekend. Happy woyww and a big hug from stormy Holland. Marit #19
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate it when the weather gets in the way of craftiness. My room isn't heated so I seriously doubt I will be doing much in there today.
ReplyDeleteCards for men/boys are so hard. I have a very small group of stamps that would qualify for the task but not many!
What a lovely kitchen! That room looks as big as my living room!! It sounds like you had a wonderful visit.

ReplyDeleteoh wow, that kitchen/family room is fabulous! I think I could fit most of my flat into it. well, a fair bit! Sounds like you had a great time. Helen #4
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely card for your Grandson, and I love the idea of a card-making workshop for men's cards - what a great idea, it's always something I struggle with, probably because I'm drawn to dies and stamps of butterflies and flowers more than of cars and football!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous kitchen too, no wonder you have kitchen envy!
Hope you have a great week,

wow i certainly have kitchen envy too !! mine is SO tiny - no room to sit in it . Looks like you have had a busy week. I hope the rest of the week is good to you .
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice week full of family you had.. that kitchen indeed is amazing.. mine is a tiny galley type. Glad to see you enjoying life. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fabulous weekend Ann, I don't blame you for the kitchen envy. Hope the weather didn't wash out your card and a cuppa session. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteThat IS a lovely kitchen space, I think it only right that we all experience a little envy!! I hope you managed a card and cuppa, but to be honest, if the weather is similar here, I’d doubt if you’re lady braved it, it’s beyond blustery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab kitchen. Great family space. I have never visited the Piece Hall even though we lived in Yorkshire for most of our lives! xx Jo
