WOYWW, Easter chick!

Good morning my dear friends!

Are you all ok? Having nice weather and enjoying the spring that has just sprung???? Well I am - we finally got a little bit of rain so the grass and flowers can finally move to spring mode! 
So first a bit of spring for you - I work at the forestry faculty and we have a huge garden around our building with lots of different trees ( for the students to learn to recognise them) and this photo was taken about 10 m away from my library.....love the purple color of the crocuses....

and a primerose peaking out.....


So there that is a bit of spring for you but now lets get up to more serious business - snooping around desks with our Queen Julia in command.......
This week my craft room is in a big mess....I keep on changing from one project to another, I made a card for my brother who's name day was on Monday ( St . Joseph) - didn't take a picture, then I made a lovely vintage thank you card for my physiotherapist as it was my last session yesterday - again forgot to take a photo - that is age for you but here it is my really messy desk.....

In the middle you can see I am making a sandwich board card - Jo from Jozart gave me instructions how to do it over Skype but I haven' t finished it yet ! The base is done....here is a close up.....



Now comes the die cutting bit which I am worried about but we will see how it goes.....I will show the card when it is finished....
Next up is my other project I am at - the Easter chick....I decided to make some cute felt chicks for my daughter, mom, my brothers family and some other people who are dear to me - put it in the envelope with the Easter card....it is quite a lot of work but I really like to make them....here is one for show.....one side...


and the other side.....


Here is one in the making...... it involves a lot of hand sewing of all these beads but I also use the glue gun and glitter glue....just a bit of a play....



I will show more of them as I make them....
And the last picture is the rest of my messy craftroom....I was looking for bits and pieces got out loads of boxes of stuff - then something fell off the shelve and you cand see what the result was - I just said "Sod it" and left the mess there for you to see....huh.....

So there I am done showing my mess....have you shown yours??? If you haven't you still have all day to join in the biggest showing of desks at our HQ!
Have a lovely day!
Lots of hugs to all of you,
Cardarian

  17. Wow..lots of loveliness I guess we can't craft if we don't have stuff all over..time just isn't always available to be SO organized. I just want time to create.."Life" just way to busy right now. Have a great day. Love the beautiful colors of all the flowers. Happy WOYWW

  18. At first I was having a terrible time leaving comments on blogs last night. They didn't want to post. NOW I get "service unavailable when I try to leave a comment. It's really frustrating. I see others having trouble with MY link, too.

    On a lighter note, I love the chick and I saw a card like that on Jo's blog last week. Hope you have time to work on an AB. There's still plenty of time. Happy WOYWW from # 7.

  20. Sorry I am so late in posting but I had one or two computer bloopers to sort out yesterday.
    Love the beginning of the card you have done with Jo - I got one from her for my birthday.
    Loads of lovely things on here including your busy desk but the scene stealer for me are the crocus and the primroses. I love spring flowers.
    Hugs, and thanks for commenting on my blog.
