WOYWW 110 and Tiny Stamper

For a change this last week seems much longer as I have done so much, and travelled over 800 miles. I went down to Brighton on our South coast to visit DD1 and 2 of my 3 gorgeous grandees.  Spent precious time with them for a few days before we all travelled back up North and they've been with us here since Sunday. Picnics in the park and sunny days, out doing all I'd love to do with all 3 of them on a regular basis but cannot due to distance.

Today on my work desk I had a tiny stamper, my 4 year old grandee, who made cards to take home for her Daddy and all her friends and it was hard to coax her into the bath ready for bed. Magic precious times. 

Get over to Julia's blog, Stamping Ground, to see over a hundred more work desks in this great weekly, world wide, expose of where we crafters create.

A friend gave me this huge reel of parcel string, (correction....baker's twine) and I realise I will never in my lifetime manage to use half of it so if anyone would like a share just email me. 

We enjoyed walking along Brighton's seafront and it was so windy that the lifeguards were keeping people off the beach and the red flag was blustering hard. The waves weren't too high but they were so strong and it was fascinating to watch.

Here's the pier ......

and the old burned out pier at the Hove end of Brighton.

I love this doughnut shaped sculpture by Hamish Black on the seafront at Brighton, near the pier, and my DH is in view, far off on the promenade, through the hole in the centre. The black areas are black holes cut outs in the shapes of the continents of the world and the shiny patch is where so many visitors have touched it or leaned on it and polished off the blue and green patina. It is made from 2.2 tons of bronze.

I never managed to visit too many desks last week due to limited internet access whilst staying in the hotel so apologies to everyone and sincere thanks to all who popped in on me.
