Happy desk peeking day, if you'd like to see more spaces or play along 

the link up for this blog hop starts here at our hostess

Miss Julia's Blog.

 So, I found something in an upcoming site for the IC that uses sheep... and I knew I had this set of dies from Honeybee stamps from Mothers day (see photo below, evidently I never got around to posting it when it came and its just been sitting in the to be uploaded file since then) Anyways, past this photo ( there is a clear stamp block holding some of the wet teeny tiny piece onto that sheep body) I did continue adding more pieces into it like a pink nose and then used a marker to colors those tan pieces you see there. this is not as easy to line up as you would expect it to be the thing I struggled with the most was because, I had placed the wool down first the legs do not line up for me with the wool so, I did color the legs later and that space between the legs and the wool to "fool the eye"

 

 Off to the left is a second fish card under construction. I had everything still on the table when

 I got home Monday from work. ( I had taken Sunday's card to work to show June 

and she wanted to buy it, so she did)and this was as far as I got with that

 when the heat kicked in. My new thing I have been doing this week is,

 getting a little over 5K steps in before I leave for work at 9am because, 

walking in the heat in the afternoons is not fun for me. 

(and that is also the time I used to come upstairs and play but, 

even with fans and an window AC the temp. is not friendly upstairs here now.

This was a shot of things I had ordered from one of the Mothers day sales that happened back in May.
so, the sheep is really two sets of dies, with a second set of words that have some dies. So this is the first time any of this has been played with the rest is in that basket still. and that is mostly working when what I need is a sentiment. but, a lot of what I make in the summer is just the bare minium samples for challenges so, it will probably be closer to fall before some of those things get touched. the good news is I did unsubscribe to at least half of the junk mail emails of buy me buy me I get and that has cut down a lot of sit here time. ha ha. one more piece of good news the honeysuckle bush is almost done blooming. Acchooo.
Thats about it for me, thanks for stopping by.
