What's on my desk this week ...


On my desk this week are these pen nibs that one of my vintage trader friends thought I might be able to create something with.


Also this Art Deco frame that I picked up on Sunday.  I'm putting this photo in of our lovely friends.

I'm hoping to get back into some form of creative work by next week.  I'm still having to do my blog from my phone as I can't get the pics to load onto my PC.

  5. I like the pattern you've made with the nibs..very abstract! And the frame was a real find, such an iconic shape :-). Hope you have some time to craft this week (and that your PC plays ball too!)

  6. Hi Lynn. I too have been having computer problems....all my business docs were created using Microsoft Publisher on our main computer but it refused to stay on for more than a few seconds this week so I tried to use the lap top to print off my new business cards taken off a memory stick but alas we don't have publisher on the lap top! Hence the new design of cards and a speedy order for a publisher programme for the lap top! These things really are brilliant....when they work!!! aren't they?
    Have a great week.

  10. Those nibs do look like they've got potential, I wonder who the trader was. I'm missing the Stockport gang.
    Love the picture frame - can't wait to see all your trinkets and treasures for real very soon! xxx

  12. Why do the techie things that are supposed to make our lives easier actually cause more headaches than anything else?!?!?

  18. Oh, I was going to say that Diana would know what to do with a pen nib, and there she is! I love that your friends know you so well, I wonder what you will do with them, they're very handsome I must say. I hope things are well and calm for you, it's better that way!

  19. Ooh, I wonder what you'll make with the nibs?! I can imagine some amazing jewellery or you incorporating them into a hanging. Great photo frame. Don't you hate it when technology goes on strike? Xxxx
