WOYWW: Project Life Update

A while ago I came across a creative meme that is called What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is all about showing what is going on on your workdesk and is hosted by Julia from Stamping Ground. I really like participating, because it is an easy way to show you what I have been working on, and it is fun to visit some other participants :)

This is getting old, but I have been off the radar yet again. The thing is that I only want to join WOYWW when I can actually visit some people, and with my failing health in the past months this wasn't rea;;y the case. That, and I have yoga classes on Wednesday for a few months now. This makes things hard to combine. Anyway, I have been doing homework and Project Life, but I will only show Project Life now. I might show my homework in another update, but I can't promise anything.

Week 3 was the week that my health started to act up. I spend most time in bed.

In Week 4, I still wasn't much stronger, but we (mostly Nick) tried some new recipes in the kitchen.

Week 5 we had a dinner with all the volunteers from Abunai!, which was fun and eventful and it was Imbolc.

In week 6 there was more food, and preparations for a party. I forgot to make pics of that party....

Week 7 was the last work week from my BF as a mail man. Due to a strange construction in Dutch law, he can come back in 3 months. Our dog Rinoa turned 2.

I am enjoying Project Life but I try to stick to the original concept, that it has to be fast and easy. Trying not to want it too perfect or whatever. Or else I won't stick with it.

WOYWW: A clean desk!!

A while ago I came across a creative meme that is called What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is all about showing what is going on on your workdesk and is hosted by Julia from Stamping Ground. I really like participating, because it is an easy way to show you what I have been working on, and it is fun to visit some other participants :)

So, I have been away for about a month. The holidays swept me away and after that a nice flu, which I am still recovering from. But right after new years, I had my desk really organised!! It still it. I am proud ;)

I bought some new storage boxes. The 2 big blue ones are new. The top one has all my project life things and the bottom all my washi and deco tape.

And here is my first week of Project Life. Except for the top left card, which is from the winter set, the rest are from a crafting block. The January card is a freebie.

And my 2nd week :) These cards are all from the Winter set. I need more design A layouts as shown above. This was the only one I got because I got a mixed bag. But I think I like these best. But I will have to try the others before I am sure. Expect to see more of this here for the next year :)

WOYWW: Homework and some small projects

A while ago I came across a creative meme that is called What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is all about showing what is going on on your workdesk and is hosted by Julia from Stamping Ground. I really like participating, because it is an easy way to show you what I have been working on, and it is fun to visit some other participants :)

This is a piece I did for my expressionism homework. I hate to paint humans, but that was the assignment ;) I am not displeased with the final result, but I rather paint nature or something, haha. This is oil paint on cardboard with a black gesso background. I painted this over a week ago and the oil paint is still wet. I might need to dry blow it :S

I made some red-white themed snail-mail. I think this might be the last of the year, with x-mas coming up and all. I love working on stuff like this when I have some time.

I also did another stamp collage, this time with the winter / x-mas stamps I collected from last year. Those are really fun to make :) And I have to use my stamps in some way, because I have way too many at this point ;)

Lastly, I made some wintery cards for my Project Life that I am starting in the new year. I just traced original PL cards and this paper is sturdy enough. I am probably going to pimp them more later on. I am looking for Project Life blogs to follow for inspiration, so if any of you know fun PL blogs, please let me know :) I am still a bit overwhelmed with it all.

Have a nice Wednesday all :) I will be hopping by before my yoga class :)
