Hello Friends
Happy Wednesday everyone! It is WOYWW Day with the lovely Hostess Julia.
Without further ado here is my desk as it was last night as I was putting a card together for my friend Claire who's birthday is today.....
How much mess can one make whilst making a card? Lots......
For those of you who called by last week, you will recall that I mentioned Doris the Duck when relating how old the fabric was that I used for my ironing board cover. You see I bought three lots of fabric, all the same but in different colours. Well here is Doris in her finery......
And now her "ankles"....
Yep! It is a DC01 and it is still working though I am waiting for a new belt as it snapped last Thursday.
Right. No dancing tonight as we have finished until September so I will have more chance to visit desks tonight! Yeay!!
Can I ask you all to think warm thoughts for me this coming weekend please? I have my nephew's wedding on Saturday and my dress is not exactly suitable for this chilly weather and some of my work colleagues and I are completing a sponsored walk for In the Pink (breast cancer research) on Sunday and I do NOT fancy doing it in wellies and sowester!
TTFN and see you later! Don't forget to join in with Julia HERE.
Hugs
Hettie
PS If any of you who were at the Crop and saw my Christmas Album in the making, it is HERE if you would like to see it finished.

Doris is stunning - so glamorous!! Best of luck for a sunny day at the wedding and a dry walk!! x Jo
What did you call her Doris for? She's more of a Jemima in my head!
Happy WOYWW honey.

O Doris is fab! I think we all make a mess no matter how small the make. Hope the weekend goes well. Take care Zo xx 75

Love your Doris the Duck. Hope you have a sunny weekend, so your wellies can stay at home =)
Doris is awesome! Will definitely be thinking warm weather thoughts for you-hope both the wedding & walk go well. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #85 xxx
Happy WOYWW. Doris would not suit our household, as I have a Henry Hoover and he is round/not very tall !! I did hear that it will be warmer towards the weekend - have a fab time at the wedding, and best of luck for the sponsored walk. Ali x #27
The card certainly looks worth making some mess for, and Doris is a delight! Do hope the weather perks up for you... we arrived home in the driving rain last night - only just unpacked the car now!

Hi Sam
That's a lovely card there girl! And Doris is super too.
Hope all goes well with the wedding then the walk!
Re. the bookmarks........the absolutely brilliant news is finally someone has come forward and will be taking over the 600+ newsletters three times a year even sooner than I hoped! So no more of that particular job for me - YAY!!
Hugs and Happy WOYWW!!

Well that's one way to hide the hoover, Hettie, I love Doris!! If you hide it does that mean you don't have to do it??
Thanks for the hello, yesterday, I had to explain to "the gang" who you are!! Just some nutty woman I know was the answer!! Only kidding.
We are definitely swapping atc's btw.
Hugs Lisax #136
Lol, is Doris modelled on anyone we know? What a great idea for a Hoover hideaway...now there's a snappy title for your etsy shop....grin!!
Good luck for the weekend, shall be thinking warm weathers thoughts for you!
Hugs, LLJ 29 xx
I love the duck!! Wishing you warm and dry weather for the weekend, good luck with the sponsored walk and enjoy the wedding. Happy WOYWW. Pam#14
Love Doris!!! Doesn't look too messy to me - I usually end up with just about 6" of space on my desk.
Hettie no a cancer !!!! Half a sixpence was the first film my parents took me to see at the cinema !
I am planning on getting the bigger Gelli plate to as I am a scrapbooker first
Jackie
Oh fabulous I am so glad you showed us Doris, a hoover cover who would have thought....brilliant.
And the answer to your question.... masses of mess, I think we have all been there

Positive thoughts and even prayers coming your way for a perfect weatherly and successful and fun weekend for you, Sam!
Great card for Claire! And Doris? What a hoot! I have a sister named Doris, which she hates, so she's always been known as "Dood." It is a name way more suited to a Duck!
Thanks for coming by the Playhouse earlier. Darnell #37
Great desk Hettie.
Love, love, love Doris the Duck! If you're selling them I'm buying one!!! I have a DC01 too and hate where it sits, but to look at Daisy every time it would be great.
Hope the weather improves for you and best of luck for the walk.
No WOYWW, appointments galore today.
Doris is so cute, such a great idea:)
Enjoy the rest of the week. Susi #137
Positive thoughts heading across the ocean for some lovely weather for your walk and the wedding!
Doris is a sweetie!
Your card is featured on my blog today. I posted each card I received in March/April and linked it to the senders blog. Haven't mentioned my surprise that was inside as I will finish the card first and then post it.
I also managed to post some piccies of our garden project.

We hereby demand a Doris duck for the snippets tree house!! In pink please. If you looksee very carefully at me Alien page there is snippets a plenty! The stars are from the border which in turn is from the green spotty card I rescued from The Doc's Tarts!!
Hugs Mrs A.
Ahhhhhhhhh - now THAT's an idea! Not so much for my hoover (although that's going to need a cover soon) but for my ironing board. That's what I thought you were hiding at first! Well, you mentioned the ironing board and then my brain farted... I got the two crossed. But to have something like that, maybe a giant witch? Oooh, I'm gonna have some fun....
Thanks for stopping by!
