A new Workdesk for me this week.
As I mentioned last week I went to a Craft Camp, this is a yearly event. I have missed the last two years as we moved house and I had to get my act into gear this year to start crafting again.
So this was my desk, I loved how we all got a table each, everyone was piled high with their walls of stuff. I had to spread mine out so it looked like I was there to craft. I think this was day 2, those gingham thingys are the kusudamu flowers I was making. I never got to use the Stampinup Pens. Only ate one piece of chocolate. They fed us too well.
It was quite humid so thats what the green fan was. We had aircondition and ceiling fans but it just didnt come my way. My ipad sitting beside the chocolate was used to google something I needed to know. We were swapping ideas
This photo was of all 5 desks, we all shared the same 3 roomed apartment
I tried to roll what I thought was gingham paper from SU but it was card stock and made it hard to roll so I turned them into flowers instead.
I also managed to knit two mini stockings for the Soldiers programme I am coordinating this year via the Lions Club. Each took about 20 mins but with chatting and everything else it took me a few hours to do one hahahha.
And now to the food, oh my they never fail us and give us so much sustenance, I had to stop eating morning and afternoon tea. Brerakfast was 7am, morning tea 10.30am, lunch 12.30, afternoon tea 3.30, dinner 7pm, supper anytime after that.
This is the dining hall, its bigger than this to the right with another room off to the right.
Dinner Friday night was honey chicken and beef in black bean sauce....and guess what!!! My lovely hubby said I could go there again in August to another craft camp run by another group I belong to
WOOOHOOO I love craft camps
Now hop on over to Julia Dunnit's Stamping Ground to see more desks
wow, they do feed you well and often! love the flowers, they are gorgeous. Helen #3

It looks like you had a fantastic time, and I love the little flowers - they are so pretty and would look great on top of a gift box. The food looks good too!

What a fabulous event Bridget, like a longer version of a WOYWW crop. Especially taking much longer to complete things because of all the chatting. Love those flowers, they make great embellishments. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteLooks like you’ve had a very chatty friendly camp, how lovely. It made me laugh that you had to spread your stuff out to cover the table to make it look as though you were there to craft...you were really weren’t you? I mean in between the eating and the chatting.....it’s very time consuming!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a great time and those flowers are brilliant, not seen them made like that before. Have a great woyww,Angela x15x

You certainly seem to have had a great time at your craft camp. I am going on a two day retreat very soon and can't wait to meet up with all my friends and make new ones. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #11
ReplyDeleteThat camp looks great! I'm impressed by those flowers. I will look them up and try to make some myself. You have inspired me.
