I wasn't going to post this morning cos I didn't have much to share but then the dawn chorus woke me up and i finished off another page for my altered book which is now a binder (next post down) so I though I would share that! Oh.... look its another Octopode stamp - quelle surprise!
So here is my desk.... not too bad this week..
Swing to the left and you can see a little box filled with some blocks of wood that I use for applying distress inks - sorry Sir Holtz, but your applicators are a big disappointment - I invested £5 in one after much deliberation - used it a couple of times and the velcro fell right off - from what I hear this is not an isolated problem - a few offcuts from OH's garage and some velcro I had lying around works a zillion times better and cost nowt!
swing to the right and you can see I still have the borrowed Cinch in my possession - but the reason for taking the photo is that I see Ed has left his Dad's Fathers Day present in full view.... that's not going to be a 'quelle surprise' on Sunday morning!
After two weeks in a row of visiting everybody's blog, last weeks effort was abysmal, I only managed a handful - so sorry about that. This week is very hectic - but I will try 'to do better'
PS.. if you fancy a gander at the PIF I made - it has now been received and I blogged it a couple of posts down
Have a good week my WOYWW friends - and for anyone who isnt a WOYWW friend and has no idea what I am talking about, go and take a look at Queen Julias Blog and all will become clear"

Love your ingenuity in making your own blocks - Lady Nick rules OK!

Hi - glad you did post this as your Octopode is gorgeous! I have one applicator where the velcro falls off but heating it and reapplying works - the others are fine. But your free ones are better!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that a certain someone isn't going for a walk any time soon :-)....I felt just like she looks this morning :-)

Love the page and the stamp you used. I own one of those Holtz's applicators and it did the same for me. Love your little girl! :) Is she a chocolate lab?
ReplyDeleteI had a little bit of a nose around your blog - I really like those Octopode stamps! And your Pif is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Octopodes are definitely a Nicks stamp....oh yes.
ReplyDeleteLove the fact you have made your own inkers or whatever they are called, will definitely do something about mine now so thanks for the tip. Hope you both have a good walk...Annette x
Love the idea for the inkers, I too had the same problem and got so fed up I have stopped using them! I just love your PIF too!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Never heard of octopodes before I discovered your blog but I love them
ReplyDeleteWow, hasn't Marzie changed! She is losing that puppy look and turning into a proper looking dog now! Hope you enjoyed your walk xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking journal page today! I love all the colors and the sentiment...perfect. I like to think that I am a work in progress and take myself ratherly lightly also! Love the idea with the blocks cause I have had nothing but problems with the TH applicators. I have been taking my stamps off blocks so I think I will repurpose the blocks with a little velcro of my own! Thanks for sharing! Vickie #46
ReplyDeleteHi Nicks, its me again, the proverbial bad penny.... You can have the bag but it smells a bit from the take away contents....lol
ReplyDeleteI love your inky blocks! What a great idea, I haven't yet bought any of those TH dapper things, as They were just tooooo dear, will nick your idea!! Happy WOYWW!!

I have the same problem with the distress ink pads. I also use cheap make up sponges (from the Pound shop). Love your journal page and I just peeped down to see your PIF gift - awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote on the journal page! Yep, those TH blocks are a bit on the pricey side too, so you're saving yourself a boat load of money in the process too. Can't believe how the pup has grown, hope she enjoyed her walk.

I had the same problem with the TH thingy! I made my own pads with Cut 'n' Dry foam and replaced the velcro. Job done!
ReplyDeletegreat work, i love to see peoples work spaces!
ReplyDeletehope the first walk went ok!
I keep lookin at the Octopode shop but I have no idea wot I would do with them!
ReplyDeleteOh I like to try this one also! Like the title, "WOYWW- More Angels!" :) Can you create my personalized card? that would be nice! lol Anyways, love the cards!
