Did you miss me?
I do have a WOYWW this week.
There was too much drama last week between hubby and I taking it
in turns to spend a full day each at the hospital.
Him with his knee and not being able to walk much
and me with chest pains, they can't find anything that caused it so far
(I suspect its stress from his knee-see we do share the love!!)
Also my desk didn't change much, so I had nothing new to share.
So my desk started off like this when I cleaned it up ready for some craft
friends to come around last night for our monthly craft evening,
I was stamping up Magnolia images so I can learn to colour in.

When I cleared that off the food appeared, those interesting biscuits on the cheese platter
are wafers made from beetroot and mint and sweet potato.
The downside to all the is food is if no one eats it I have to eat it all,
hubby does not like stuff like this, he thinks its dainty food

There are chocolates in the jar . They are from Coco Black and to die for and not cheap either, you will be pleased to know I've had those chocolates since Easter and the jar is still full.

This is what was on my space to do LOL

Those packets of micro beads turned into these ready for my over 55's class

Coffee and tea is served, urn large enough to feed the neighbourhood

Penelope brought over this gorgeous card and lent me the stamps
to stamp up so I could make my own card

Very productive night hahaha lots of chatting and not much crafting
These ladies are on my wish list from

Very organised, I should have taken a photo of our desk while 4 of us were busy on Monday night...
Lovely neat desk there.. Lovely yummy food what more could a girl want.. congrats on No 1 spot.. Have a happy week, Hugs May x x x No10
Dainty food - well turns out I like dainty! Who knew! Not surprised that you had empathy pains...worrying about the person you love is tough..hope you're both feeling better! Gosh, the micro beads take me back- don't they look pretty is strips on the card.
Glad to hear you are okay - hope you are both on the mend and any stress melts away...yummy things on your desk - crafty and delicious goodies galore...Have a creative week and happy WOYWWing... Sarah at 12!

One I Made Earlier Today
What happened to the Bridget I used to know? are you an imposter? or have you stolen her space? LOL no seriously, what have you done girl, this is most unusual but impressive a clean work area. LOL
Eliza
Looking at your desk made me feel hungry lol, wished mine was as tidy as that.
Hope the old knee get better soon!
Happy WOYWW #34
Oooh lots of yumminess there - both crafty and foody! Love your desk and the cards you have made are great too. Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl No. 20
Very nice looking desk with fun things to play with. I love get together with family and friends and we brew up huge vats of coffee and tea to share! If I were there you would have to share the goodies to eat. Not dainty at all if you ask me. Chocolates do go stale so don't let them sit too long. Vickie #41
The card is really gorgeous - lovely stamps! And the dainty food looks delicious...
Hope you both are better now!
Happy WOYWW!
Tuire #40
Hope you and your bloke are on the mend now...two days in hospital are not funny :(
Love your tidy desk all laid out neatly - that brings joy to my heart, so I suspect that I am OCD really!!
Hugs, LLJ #33 xx
Forgot to say hope you are both feeling a bit better now.
What a tidy desk! And the food is making me hungry! Hope your knees are doing better! It's my first time in WOYWW so I'll be visiting more often soon!

What an organised desk. Mine always starts off like that ,but for some reason it turns into a mess within minutes. Loving all the goodies and what a lovely jar your chocolates are in too. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xxx 64
Looks like you had a lot of fun.. Glad you are feeling better take care :)
Did I read this right, you intend to send EVERYONE an ATC who leaves YOU a comment not just the next on the Mr Linky list of WOYWW#156??? Gosh that is a challenge BJ#51
No, that doesn't work. GMT 0000London - because we're on British Summer Time which is GMT+1...I'm sure it's something to do with that, the boffins seem to have not included that.....
A great post and fab photos :) I do hope both you and your hubby are feeling better now [[hugs]].
Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen xx #75

A very tidy and well organised desk this week and I love what you made with your ladies. Thought for a moment you were going into the cafe business when I saw your tea-urn.

For such a tidy desk there are so many lovely things to be seen. Looks like you are having fun and feeling better too.
I too wish you could join us tomorrow! That badge has got to be seen!
LOL
Love JoZarty x
Sorry to hear that you have both had health scares, hope your are both better now. I have a bad knee (took years to fix) too so I know what your hubby is going through. Love that yummy food but how can you not eat that chocolate. It would kill me to keep seeing it there. Those lady stamps are gorgeous.
I would love an ATC but only if you have the time.
Von #65
What a wonderful post, I want to come and craft. That food looks delicious, your husband doesn't know what he's missing!
I am joining in the ATC swap as I've just got into this recently.
My son has been very ill over the last few years and I've had all sorts of pains which have been investigated to no avail. I cam to the conclusion it was from the stress of worrying about him.
Take care
Jakix #96
Wow I need to be at your desk with the coffee and all the lovely snacks.Number ~52~:)
Oh dear, I hope you're both feeling better. Love the dainty food.. And the chocolates. Oh my, the chocolates!
Happy Wednesday.

My dear Bridget,
I absolutely did miss you last week. I hunted and hunted for your name but you weren't there. Sorry for the medical troubles.
Your desk looks nice and neat! I bet your group had a blast - and what a food spread. Those biscuits sound great!!! Yum.
Congrats on being number one this week. As for me, I'm bringing up the rear at #144

Hello Bridget. You are my first desk. I just signed up today to join in the fun and I am so excited. First of all if I was over for your scrap evening, I would have loved to releive you of some of those chocolates and the yummy watermelon.
I love the result of of your card. Thanks for sharing your desk.
Belinda (#158)
That 'dainty' food looks delish! I was just looking for vintage/victorian era stamps or outlined stickers yesterday. Thanks for sharing this link.

Thanks for sharing,

Lovely food, good company and crafting - what a great combination. Hope you all have a fab time Helen 125
Lots of loveliness to see - an organised workdesk, yummy food, gorgeous stamped images. Sorry to hear about your health problems (both of you) - hope things are improving. As for the jar of chocs, it wouldn't still be full if it was here! - (Hazel, #173) x
Hope you are both improving health-wise! I'll help you eat the goodies if you like - they look yummy!!!

Love that stamp and your so tidy room makes me feel a true slob. Ah reality!
Love the tidy crafty space and all that yummy food is making me hungry, especially love the idea of beet root crisps. Hugs, Amanda #133
I had some chest pain that landed me in the Emergency Room a few weeks ago...they said it wasn't a heart attack which was all I really cared about. Anyways, they said it was a chest wall inflammation which can be caused by an infection or stress...guess which it was for me? Stress! Probably you too, so sorry for you...mine hurt terribly and still does occasionally.
Looks like you had a lovely party and made a beautiful card!
#189~Deeyll
You are very organised and I'm not surprised the craft event was a huge success.
Sorry to hear about your hospital visits, hope you're both ok now.
Thanks for already coming to see my desk this week x

ps - I can't believe that chocolate jar is still full!!!!!
Great looking desk. Food yum
Hope this finds you and hubby back on your feet, so to speak. What fun to get together with friends and do crafts and nosh. Very lovely ladies on those cards. #58
I know it is nice to share things with your spouse and all, but don't you think you are taking this a wee bit far? Usually I would pick the table of crafting goodies over the table to food, but those snacks look so good! Have fun with your class. I definitely plan to participate in the ATC swap for WOYWW. I'm pondering designs already.
Ok, lol, so i stopped a bit long looking at the treats, but they sure looks yummy!! Boy you are so organised, looks like everything is where it is supposed to be , right....
lotsa luv #191
Sorry that should be #192, lol
Sounds like a fab evening with great snacks! What a lovely way to spend time with friends. Thanks for sharing and hope you're all better. Liz no 194
I was reading the wrong words to the wrong pictures and thinking...sure they look like rubber stamps...not too tasty! Thanks for my snoop! Have a great crafty week. HaPpY WoYwW!
((Lyn)) feeling very old at #102!
Wow Bridget, what a fascinating desk this week! Very neat and tidy, lots of gorgeous stamps and lovely colours - those beads look wonderful. As for the food - bring on the dainty food anytime I say - my mouth watered just looking at it! It all looks soooo delicious! Just what you need when you're busy creating. Lovely jar of posh choccies too. I really enjoyed my visit!
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog - glad you like the knitting - it's coming on slowly!
Happy belated WOYWW,

Have a great weekend

I'm really late visiting, but simply HAD to take time to stop by for a short visit. You wrote a very long blog post this week. I love the images and that food looks better than yummy. Seems like ATCs are the rage and the talk of blogland this week.
Bleubeard and I are # 11.
