WOYWW 280

My desk is full of stuff that I purchased in the last week or so and I mean loaded with stuff. The bay window into the front yard still has the flowers in bloom but lots has been done around the place like gardening and getting the house roof fixed.  I have had no time for crafting as I have tried to utilize my time effectively. II have seriously been getting stuck into some home tasks with the time that I have had spare.  Went to a craft fair too and it was wonderful as you can see I went a little wild.  

Managed to get a shot of Yoda on the kitchen bench next to the tomato plants that need planting, must get around to that too.  We have been out and about with Flat Susan, I am not showing any pictures of her on this post if you want to read about what she has been up to then see my former posts and there is still heaps more to post yet of her activities.  If you don't know why I am telling you all this stuff then pop on over to Julia's place called the Stamping Ground and she can explain all.  I am trying to keep it short and sweet this week.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful crafting week regardless what you create we are all interested.



Hugs Eliza Yoda & Flat Susan

Hello Yoda and Eliza
Well, the obvious topic of conversation is to be that restrained (ahem) bit of shopping you have done. Oh Eliza, that is a serious shop you did there but think what hours of fun you are going to have playing with it. That is if you get time with your busy life.
Enjoy!
Hugs, Neet 14 xx

Ah, what the heck - if you can't go a little wild from time to time, then life really is too short!! Glad you enjoyed the fair :-)
That Yoda is looking very well at the moment - isn't it funny how a little cat the other side of the world has become so important to us all?!
Hugs, LLJ 23 xx

Hi Eliza, that is some serious retail therapy! You must feel on top of the world now, lol. Good to see Yoda looking his awesome self, as always. Seems odd to see someone putting tomato plants out at this time of the year- ours are dead and gone now!Have a great week, Hugs. Shaz #38 xxx

I can see that when you can't craft you buy more stuff ready for when you can, lol! That's one heck of a shopping trip! Your garden is looking very pretty, especially those beautiful Clivia lilies. Yoda is looking happy still, bet he misses his cuddles from Judy though! I have a pile of green tomatoes in the kitchen to do something with, we got lots this year but it's over for us now.

Hi to you both, sorry, three. It really made me smile to see your baby tomato plants, I still have mine in the greenhouse but they will soon be gone.
I need to go back and have a better look at all those gorgeous things on your desk.
Thanks for the visit and happy crafting, Angela x 41

Mamma Mia that's a fair spend up you've had there Eliza! What lovely new stash. I'm heading off to the NEC Craft show next month and have had to write a list so that I don't buy too much… yeh like that's going to happen!

Anne said...

Whoo hoo lots to play with there. I've just had a lo of new goodies - not played with them yet- hoping to be able to have a play tomorrow. Anne x #27

Lisca said...

Now that's what i call serious shopping! I know what it's like at a fair. So many nice and new things, lots of 'must haves' etc. Good for you. If you've got it, flaunt it!
It's great to see a photo of Yoda, and I follow FS too so I know what she's been up to. Lucky girl didn't have a garden and a roof to worry about... I hope all is sorted now.
Thank you for letting me peep over your shoulder.
Have a good week,
a hug and God bless,
Lisca#26

A lovely busy week, and a whole heap of loveliness to tempt you back to the craft desk - enjoy! Love to you, Yoda and Susan, Chris # 16

Love to Yoda.

Yoda is gorgeous - as always. What an amazing haul. I cannot wait to see what you do with it. Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier. April #62

trisha too said...

Well Miss Eliza, I must confess to you that I really just stopped in to see Yoda today--woyww has kind of turned into "What's Yoda doing this Wednesday?"

But it was still fun to have a peek at all those goodies on your desk!!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

That was some serious shopping you did at the craft fair. And I admit, I ADORE that photo out your window. What a perfect view when crafting.

Bleubeard and I aren't playing this week, but we stopped by to say hi to you and Yoda. Geeky, kindred 32 and 38 spirits. Have a great week and have more fun with Flat Susan.

Hope your roof problems are fixed. You needed some of that salt from the mine to throw on your roof and gutters (grin).

Shoshi said...

Awww I love Yoda! He is so beautiful. Wish I could give him a hug. It would be nice to introduce him to Beatrice but she probably wouldn't approve - she gets very jealous if we show Phoebe too much attention!

Wow what a great lot of new stash! I adore new stash. You are going to have soooo much fun with all that! Brilliant! What fun you must have had choosing it.

Thanks for your visit and your lovely enthusiastic comment - so glad you liked my post this week! I shall be blogging about the new misters once they arrive and I can start trying them out. I love sourcing stuff that's cheaper than art/craft suppliers (or better yet, free! Cheapskate Shoshi!) and will try and remember to share any other finds or ideas I may have!

Happy belated WOYWW,

Julia Dunnit said...

Oh man, you sure did a bit of shopping! I just know that if I was there, you'd be a really bad influence on me. Your garden looks utterly lovely. And Yoda looks teeny and utterly in charge!!

okienurse said...

Oh my goodness look at all the new toys to play with! You are like me when I shop I shop otherwise why bother! Yoda is such a sweet baby and he has filled out a bit it looks like. My garden is winding down but the tomatoes are still going strong as is the okra. Wish I could transport down there and start a new garden now. Have a great week. Vickie #76

glitterandglue said...

My word, Eliza. Some serious retail therapy has taken place there this week! Great looking stuff - now all you need is a couple of extra days in each week...
Just look at those clivias in your front garden - they are simply amazing! Ours are resting at the moment - but should start to flower around Easter next year. Needless to say, they are house plants here! But - the parent plant is now nearly 70 years old - and still throws up baby plants most years, and still flowers regularly!!!
Those tomato plants are coming along nicely - great crop hopefully to be had!
Take care. God bless.
