Good morning to you π₯° at last a calm morning after the stormy winds . . . I hope your okay π« and all is well ✨️
I'm linking up to ✨️WOYWW✨️ with the lovely deskers πonce again. Hosted by the beautiful soul that is Julia .. thank you so much Julia ✨️π«If you fancy joining in please pop over to Julia's it is the most welcoming of spaces ✨️π«filled with beautiful souls.
Here's my desk right now . . .
Wee Hope π is everywhere . . . I promise she hasn't been harmed . . . just . . . tickled by the scissors ✂️ The PROOF. . . see that cheeky wee smile π . . . you just missed her . . . giggling!!
more ✂️✂️✂️
Ohhhh how I love π her birds π¦ of hope.
Just waiting to be ✂️snipped out and worn π§₯
Little paper whisper piles are . . . everywhereπ€·♀️even in the kitchen . . .
waiting . . . full of mischief . . . singsongs πΆπ΅ and much giggles!
If YOU listen reeeally close . . . YOU just might hear the giggles π
along with the flutter of magical wings π
What else have I been up tooooo π€
Well I may have had a wee bit oh a panic . . .
yes, I know . . . ME . . . WHY?
Publisher is no more (I know I'm not alone from the desks last week) . . . didn't it know I hadn't finished designing my badges π€·♀️ππ
Not to worry π¦Έ♀️ good old Pic Monkey (my standby ✨️) to the rescue ππ€© a wee bit jiggery pokery on the laptop . . . resizing my artwork . . . then
taaaa daaaa
Such a wee cutie pie π she is . . . we went from on screen toooo . . .
I wish ⭐️ you could have heard her as she popped out . . . before . . .
going on a wee waltzer . . . Cough . . . Cough . . . badge cutter thingieymijiggggy
(yes that's a word π)
Just look at her wee rosie cheeks πππ✨️ still smiling up at me . . . all going . . . me first . . . me first . . .
FIRST FOR WHAT????
Is it a . . . SPACE ROCKET π. . . she asked . . .
Where did she go?π€·♀️
In the blink of an eye π out she popped . . . to be hugged . . . to be kissed . . . to giggle with . . . to tell of the great adventure she had . . . as she came to beee in badge form π✨️π
Now . . . she's just waiting for her tribe of
Believers ✨️ Dreamersπ
and
Magic Makers⭐️
Ohhhhh, I almost forgot π€¦♀️ how could I almost forget . . . when it's all I've been thinking about the last few weeks . . . it may seem a wee thing to you ☺️ and that's okay π it is . . . but it brought up a lot of emotions for me . . .
π I'm one of three ladies teaching a workshop real soon ... it's my first one since pre covid . . . I'm excited . . . looking forward to sharing what I love π what lights me up ✨️ . . . though nervous . . . and missing my mum a lot ✨️ we'd be having lots of chats . . . video calls in the wee hours when I knew she was still awake . . . sharing my thoughts and what I was thinking
. . . sometimes I'd be doodling while we talked and we'd smile and laugh at what popped out π a wee pink piggie popped out once ... with a scarf and a whole story all off it's own . . . I remember making it into a gift card for mums birthday . . . I have it now tucked up safe in a wee suitcase filled with bits and bobs of memories with mum ✨️
One of the things I struggled with was choosing . . . coloursπ . . . I was most likely overthinking it!
(no most likely about it . . . definitely π overthinking I can hear my mum ✨️ and dad ✨️ whispering )
I lit a candle and prayed for help . . . it calmed, it soothed me, and I am forever thankful ✨️
This is the colour π combo I've went with π in that last photo . . . hopefully the gorgeous souls coming along will love them π¨ππ€
The tubes of paint π¨ should be arriving on Thursday ready for me to prep the palettes π€
If you're still here . . . thank you ☺️π«✨️
Yet again my thoughts went in different directions π though I'm told it's what makes me . . . me πand it really helps me to get it all out.
Right . . . I'm away to link up . . . then pop outside to feed my wee friends π¦ look up at the sky and be thankful π for the gift of being a part of this beautiful day.
⭐️Wishing you a gorgeous day ahead π with much love ✨️light π« and the best of Scottish hugs . . . with even more to hold you close if you need it π«✨️π
Catch you round the desks in a wee while π down below is an update from out back π

I promise . . . I'm away now ☺️ may magic ✨️ and joy π₯° follow in your footsteps today.

Another wonderful meander through your mind's workings today... Great read as usual . Happy woyww Helen #2 enjoy the day.
I love your wee Hope and can almost hear her giggling. Yes, I miss my Mum, too. She would have been 99 this week.
Good luck with your workshop, you’re so inspirational that they’re bound to love it.
Happy WOYWW

So many lovely images in a heartfelt post, the badges are great fun and I have round-cutting-out-thingy envy! What a useful bit of kit to get perfect circles π₯°
Your craft shed is coming on a treat, you’re going to be so happy in there!
Hugs LLJ 1 xx
Hi Tracy, you're obviously more careful with your scissors than our dog groomer. Poor Daisy came home with a snip on her ear but she's okay now. The lady who does the grooming was more bothered than Daisy. Dogs are so tough. I think I managed to get to the end of your story, you have so much going on. Men can be useful, my hubby put the whole of my cabin together and the doors actually shut when he'd finished other wise you have to take it down and start again Lol! I adore your Wee One, she is gorgeous. I understand about choosing colours. I think I miss out on some combinations and I've got colour cubes and need to get back to them. Now look! I've nearly written as much as you so better go. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x10x
Lots of snipping going on this week, love the wings, defo a sprinkle of magic. Love the circle cutter, not seen one like that before...Love reading your words which trip along the screen for me. Hugs Bj#9
I can hear Hope giggling, yes, and I love the colours you chose for her! The buttons are too cute! And your story of your Mom is so heartfelt, I want to see the pig! Have a great week, Lindart #15ππ⬛
Hello Tracy, how wonderful to be getting your own workshop. I'm sure there will be many more giggly girls being made in there and I'm sure your classes will be as much fun as your blog is. I miss my mum too. Yours sounds like your best friend just like mine was. The circle cutter for the badges is fabulous. Happy WOYWW and have a great week. Elizabeth x #13
Cool! What a fabulous idea. I have a button maker, but forget about it, so thanks for the reminder. As always, I LOVE your cheerful characters, which are so perfect in the buttons.. Happy WOYWW!
You do seem to have so much fun with your crafty activities. The little badges are delightful and I love the story of their creation.x x Jo π
Oh Tracy, I wanna be at yours for a workshop and to see your magic pencil and hear the giggles clearly! Lucky lucky ladies who live close enough! You (and therefore your Mum) were right,!overthinking the colours, what you’ve settled in is as gorgeous as ever. It’s like having a dress up paper doll with all her clothes, I’m really a wee bit envious of her! Have a great week, working toward your workshop - don’t worry, it’s a given already that they live your work because they’ve booked in! All you have to do now is sprinkle your enthusiasm and magic!
Happy late WOYWW!
Tried to hit everyone on the day but failed. Ah well...
I can't absorb it all in one go LOL! Intrigued by your circle cutter as it's one I don't think I've seen before. Loving the badges - she is a cutie for sure, and the story of creation is a bonus. My Mom's in hospital (she's 91) at the moment and I am worried for sure. Hope your weekend of work is gong well!
