πŸ’•✨️What's on your Workdesk Wednesday ...and a wee catch up

 It seems like FOREVER since I last posted on my little space in the land of blog ... and took part in ...

πŸ’› WOYWW πŸ’›

πŸ«‚ Such a warm welcoming place filled with such lovely souls πŸ’• filled with blog posts to uplift and inspire ✨️

πŸ’•The lovely Julia who founded WOYWW has entrusted it to the lovely Sarah to keep it going.

Before sharing my desk .... I realise that my friends here in blog land may be unaware that my gorgeous mum ✨️ passed next door to be with my dad ✨️ once again  on the 

29th August 2024

I often spoke about my ✨️mum on here and she was ever present ✨️online and off. 

Since my mum✨️ I've came on many times to write a post ... to join in the desk hopping ... only to find myself staring at the white screen ... at a loss for words ... emotions rising up ... ever present. 

✨️ But ... now ... I'm gently stepping back in ... it's time ... the light and joy that I feel when I create has found me once again πŸ’• the whispers ✨️ the magic πŸ’•ever present ... shining a light 🌟as bright as can be ✨️ a knowing that my ✨️mum is with ✨️dad and never far from me ... if you listen real close ... you might even hear them saying ... 

"about time Tracy ... You can do this!" 

So here I am 😊 and here is my desk ... in all it's chaoticness ... is that even a word 🀦‍♀️

I do love πŸ’• black and white photos πŸ“Έ 

My work space is filled with new Littlies πŸ˜‡ that are close to my heart ❤️ with a story to tell. Never have I ever cut out so many wee one's ...  ( I know my ✨️mum will be smiling wide ... as it was something she so enjoyed ✂️ ... I was never patient and always chopping something of in my rush 🀦‍♀️but now ... 

I get it ... I get why mum ✨️ enjoyed it so much πŸ’• it's a time to just lose yourself ... everything falls away ... no room for overthinking ... just being in the moment ... and for me ... those moments bring me so close to my mum ✨️ and such pure JOY ✨️ who knew?? 

My ✨️ mum off course πŸ₯°πŸ«‚πŸ˜˜πŸ˜Š

Did you spot this little soul whisper on my workdesk 🐦? 

I've been doing some pottery again ... I wanted to make a birthday gift for mum ✨️ ... I still celebrate mum and dad's birthdays 😊 ... it helps.

I remember wishing that if I could only fly ... I'd find my mum πŸ¦πŸ’• and out ... this wee one popped ... holding on ... flying high. 

She's been waiting on my desk for quite a few months now ... patiently waiting for her words πŸ’•I haven't found the right ones ...yet ... but I will.

I'm also itching to get my hands back in mud  😊

I have so many ideas rolling around ... inside my head ... and now our πŸ’•Kane & AnaisπŸ’• have left on another big adventure ... I will have free rein with his kiln ... so ... watch this space ... Christmas is coming 😘

But first, my Littlie πŸ˜‡ stamps need all my attention ... before they fly out into the world 🌎 very soon ... surrounded by so much loveπŸ’• and magic 🌟 with theeee best of wishes ✨️ all wrapped around them ... hopefully by the end of next week everything will be in place πŸ™

✨️ So much has changed ... I know I've changed ... and so much has happened  ... and is happening ... but if there is one thing that I feel uppermost ... then it's 

πŸ™ Love & Gratitude ...

 that I was picked to be one of my ✨️ mum and dad's ✨️ daughters ... to love ... and be loved ... even now when they're next door! 

✨️For Alex ... for the best husband I could ever wish for ... ( I did wish for him, but that's a tale for another day 😘) my love ... my anchor ... my constant. 

✨️To my gorgeous family ... love them I do 

✨️To the souls that touch my life ... who embrace me for who I am ... thank you.

So much I have to be grateful for in this life πŸ™πŸŒŸ✨️I could go on and on!

Phew ... well, that all popped out of nowhere 😊 and not what I intended to post ... as often happens!! 

🌈To make up for all the words ... that I thought I had lost, here's a wee gander at my desk in full colour ... if you look real close you might ... just might ... spot a few more pottery birdies 🐦 

πŸ₯° I'll away and leave you in peace 😊

 Thank you so much for stopping by ✨️ I'm looking forward to popping back around the desks ... to catch up and say helloooo πŸ«‚πŸŒŸ✨️

But for now ...

so much love ❤️, many hugs πŸ«‚, and the very best wishes 🌟 winging your way.

Yesterday I had an urge tooooo paint 🎨 I have a Craft Fair next month 😊 soooo this pinny will be worn with my Soul Whispers painted on by hand πŸ–ŒGlad I brought a few supplies 😘 just incase.

These little ceramic Soul Whispers are ones I created for gifts last year πŸ˜‡ over the next few weeks I'm going toooo be busy recreating them on hearts and balls to take to the fair.
If I have enough time I'd like to do a few plates 🀞I loved creating them last year.

My pots came through the first firing 😊 but I didn't get them back in before we left early Friday morning ... sooo no photos yet ... exciteeed to see how they come out once we're back home 😘 then I can share with you. 

I might not get around the desks until we're back home but I'll be around once we are 😁

❤️ If you'd like to join in or find out more ... then please hop on over 🀸‍♀️

I'm soooo sorry I didn't get around all the desks last week 😞 life has a habit of turning upside down at times! 

Here's my workdesk this morning ...
🀦‍♀️ I think I need to have a tidy so I can actually work! No wonder I've been going around in circles πŸ€ͺ getting nowhere! 
I did manage a short video πŸŽ₯ last week 😘 painting on bisque. 

The pots I'm happppy to say ... survived the first firing 😊 I'm hoping to glaze then fire them today 🀞 I'll let you see them next Wednesday. 

I can share this 😊 something that had my Soul singing 🎢 a recent painting 🎨 I did in the wee'ish hours when all was quiet,sitting on the couch.
 πŸ˜Š  Up, up in the clouds ⛅️ a place where she is soooo happpppy ... I smiled and sang my way through bringing her to be.
 πŸ˜πŸŽΆπŸ€ΈπŸ’•πŸ’™
Tooooo πŸ€ΈπŸ’™ Our Kane arrived safely in Japan on Friday morning just after midnight ✈️ with his girl Anais arriving later that evening from France ... such a mahoooosive relief for both sets of parents to know they're both safe  ... now the adventure officialy begins 😘 woohoooo!

That's it for me this week 😊thank you for all your beautiful comments last week πŸ’• once again I'm so sorry I didn't get around all your WOYWW desks. 
Lots of love ❤️ and hugs πŸ€— winging your way.

❤️What's on your Work Desk Wednesday?747

  πŸŒˆπŸ’•πŸ€Έ‍♀️ Goooood Morning πŸ€— it's Wednesday which means it's time for another look at what's on my workdesk πŸ‘€ linking up to the ⭐️ lovely Julia who hosts WOYWW over at the
❤️ If you'd like to join in or find out more ... then please hop on over 🀸‍♀️

I'm running very late this morning but determined not to miss WOYWW 😊Here's my desk this morning πŸ‘€ pretty tidyish for me  it is. 
I spent a few days creating a Gratitude Junk Journal πŸ“š taking videos to show my process. 
If you look down my the last few posts you'll see them 😘
πŸ’• All I have left to do is bind it together then add my stamps throughout 🀸
πŸ’•  adding my wee 🐭 ones between the pages. 
Loving πŸ’• how it's coming together with all the crinkles and textures throughout. 
Here's a wee video speeded up if you want to have a wee look at it before I add my stamps. 

πŸ’› We've been spending time with our youngest Kane ⭐️ before we dropped him off in Edinburgh yesterday to start his journey to Japan ... he's going to live his DREAM ⭐️ spending a year travelling around Japan with his girl ⭐️What an adventure they are going to have! 
I found this beautiful handbound illustrated book on my desk when we got back from the airport yesterday .. a gift from Kane ... my heart is full ❤️ along with a wee one Kane had made.
I only spotted him when I went to photograph my workdesk 10 minutes ago .. I may have shed a few happy tears! 

πŸ’• Before Kane left he showed me how to make one of his pots that I love. 
One I made with Kane's help, the other on my own. They're drying out before I pop them in for a first firing ... looking forward to adding the glaze when it's time πŸ–Œ

πŸ€— It's such a mix of emotions  ... we are exciteeed beyond words for Kane to be realising his DREAM, for the ADVENTURES he will have, the PLACES he's going to see 🀸 spending time with his girl ...  but oh, how we are all going to miss that laddie like crazy πŸ€—
⭐️ We are so PROUD of him ⭐️
Will be happy once he's arrived in Japan early Friday morning, then the butterflies in my tummy will settle. 

❤️ That's it for me this week 😊 maybe next week I'll have the pot's fired to show you 😘 along with my Gratitude Journal all bound and stamped 🀞

πŸ’• Thank yoooou so much for stopping by πŸ’•
Looking forward to popping round the desks later today.
Wishing you all good things in the days ahead. 
Much love ❤️  and hugs πŸ€—
