WOYWW and my altered book
Well this week has zoomed by,just a few more days and its my time off for the easter holidays and i am looking forward to some serious craft time instead of the few minutes here and there, also pleased to report that my cold has finally gone, hurray :) Anyway i am showing you my desk today as i have become a fan of the trend setter Julia from Stamping Ground who encourages everyone to reveal whats on their desks on a Wednesday no matter how tidy or messy they are! ( i am definately a tidy crafter......lol)
This is my desk at the moment or i should say as off late last night and you can see my altered book with its niche,been following the fab tutorials over at Elizabeths blog Altered book lover and really enjoying learning something new. My theme is my blog,nickname and its history. On my desk you can see various glues,acrylic paint (touch up a area on book) ink pads and my spider stamps and at the back my beaded spider coaster which a lovely friend Teresa got me from America.
This is my book before i covered the niche all clamped and waiting for the gel medium to dry propped up by my favourite drink. Anyway off to link up and have a nosey at some blogs before work. Thanks for popping in and i will return the favour,x

Your altered book is coming along nicely Kay.
ReplyDeleteI saw Elizabeth’s tutorial and was tempted by it but it’s so far out of my comfort zone that I’ve not succumbed and taken the plunge as yet.
Thanks for stopping by this week.
Happy Crafting!

Glad to hear you’re feeling better now…..just hope mine goes quickly too.
I do love a tidy desk! Your book looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment on my blog. I know I did the right thing but I have times of second guessing myself.
Your desk looks nice and tidy and the altered book project looks interesting.
Hugs,
Kay

well your book is coming on great! I've decided mine is too thin, well, it's not, but I need the nitch in side deeper! Great snoop! Happy WOYWW

What a fab idea to do a AB based on your blog! I might do one of those too! lol Well, after I finish the first one anyway! So glad to take a peek at your progress, have you linked it up on Elizabeth's blog yet? waving hi from my balcony in the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, fun niche!! I stink at cutting those . . .

Love the spidery spread in your altered book -- the silver ink is perfect against the black. I feel myself getting sucked into wanted to do one sometime. But it will have to be a seriously terrible book before I'll feel I can destroy it! (Thanks for visiting my blog.) Happy Wednesday from #152. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and yes, it is Julia! Duh!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks super busy.
Wow! That is quite impressive how you have the niche clamped within an inch of its life. I like how the book is coming along. A beaded spider coaster?! Cool! Although... not sure if that would encourage guests to use a coaster or run screaming.
ReplyDeleteyup way too tidy... Although that's usually the way I prefer having my desk when I start projects. Thanks for the comments on my desk. Have fun with your altering the book.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Thanks for visiting my desk Kay. I wish my desk looked like yours, I am a messy crafter, and my hubby can't believe how much mess I make in the kitchen. Oh dear! Love your spider in the loo.

What a fabulous subject for your AB - I hope we get to see some of the pages and read all about your name and how it originated.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet #5 who has blog candy on offer xx
A very tidy crafting indeed. Love your book and glad you are feeling better. Roll on the holidays!
ReplyDeleteHugs Erika.
I like the theme you have chosen and I don't mind spiders at all. We sometimes have massive ones scuttling across the carpet - just pick up our feet and ignore them. Good to see so many ABs on the go and watch everyone's progress.

Good Morning! Still trying to make all the rounds to the desks. have a great day!
ReplyDeleteNow it's funny, I don't mind spiders, but webs give me the heebie-jeebies! LOL
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind seeing a close up of that beaded coaster?
Thanks for stopping by!
Your book is coming along great, I am following with interest but not found time yet to join in. Hope to soon. Amy #128
ReplyDeleteYour AB is looking cool! I would be way to scared to try and make one of those. I haven't even had a go at a journal page yet! Thanks for visiting my desk and have a fab and creative week xx
ReplyDeleteKay, your altered book looks most intriguing! This is not something I have ever attempted. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. The knitting is coming on apace now - it's something I can get on with while resting with my feet up - still feeling rough but hoping it will soon pass!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #12
the book is coming along great

Fun to see the progess of the book. It's looking good! Barb
ReplyDeleteLove the book...and all the spiders!
ReplyDeleteSara S. #22
I must admit with being a newie to WOYWW I'm mystified by the altered books so will watch to see the finished article.
ReplyDeleteLove all your spiders and cute Sam ;D
Happy WOYWW Neesie #30
That's a nice neat desk you have there Kay. I thought at first the niche in your AB was an unusual shape, but see from your main photo it's square. I did think about doing a different shape for mine, but in the end settled for a square.

How can you be in the middle of a project like that ...and still stay so tidy lol xx 17
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a neat desk and an awesome book. I haven't tried that yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, that's not my baby picture on my desk, it's our oldest son and our granddaughter.

Your book is looking great! I didn't know there were themes to these altered books! I think yours is a great theme and i hope we will get to see more when it is done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit earlier!
xoxo Karen
You are such a tidy crafter, I'm in awe!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the spider on your book, it's great to see how everyone's ABs are coming along.
Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteGood morning Kay, well I'm more awake to leave comments this morning, I think I would have been calling everyone the wrong names last night I was so tired.
ReplyDeleteYour book looks fab, you are so clever at this altering things, I love your desk and I'm so glad you liked your coaster. Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs Teresa xx
Looks like such a cool book!
