Morning everyone....especially my fellow WOYWWer's....it's Wednesday yet again...
so it's time for show and tell for lots of creative crafters/artists and like minded people.
If you're new to the term WOYWW or just here for the first time and wonder what on earth I'm talking about....then take a look at Julia's blog at Stamping Ground
But firstly today I have a confession....I don't actually do all the art work....here's the real artist!
(Yep I'm still on the dining room table and spreading...see the cabinet behind? Roll on spring and I can get back into the studio)
I just couldn't resist....(LOL) ;D
I know (and she knows) she shouldn't be up at the dining room table...and as you can see by her expression and her ears being down that she wasn't impressed that there wasn't any food up there.
I'm making my entry super short this week...but I'll be sure to have lots of finished work for you next week. Promise!
I'd just like to thank everyone who visited my place during last week and I'm sorry if I didn't get to you.
I'll try to do better this week. :D
Have fun desk hopping everyone!
What a cute photograph Nessie! It looks as if your work in progress is of Sydney Opera House -am I right! I always love seeing your finished art work - it is very impressinve.
ReplyDeleteSarah x
You are right Sarah...it is indeed the Sydney Opera House...well spotted ;D
DeleteBecause I haven't any finished work to show this week just everything in the doing stages, I thought I'd have a little laugh with Mufftypup.
She's always gruffing around my feet in the afternoons...so I included her ^..^
Thanks for being so quick to reply...I've only just posted and here you are! Great to see you as usual.
Have a wonderful Wednesday xox
I wish I had one of those beauties at my table, hope spring come soon for you, beautiful work as always,
ReplyDeleteI wish you could too Laurie...in fact I think the mini shih tzu breed would be perfect for you and Garry ;D
DeleteThey are so attached to people, don't need too much walking (although I clock up about 5K every morning with my little toot) and they give so much love it's untrue, plus they are quite adapted to apartment living, just so long as they do get to go outside regularly.
Perfect! Just let me know when you get one ^..^ xoxo
What a clever dog! certainly can draw VERY well!! hehehe...we had a cat like that!! Loved 'helping' me craft! But Jinx our lodger cat likes to sit on me to stop me working but has no interest in crafing at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for my snoop!! Happy WOYWW
((Lyn)))
no number yet!
Oh she is one nosey pooch Lyn, she hates to be out of the loop.
DeleteIf she's out of the room and she thinks somethings going on without her crucial imput...she dashes in to get involved!
I think the little disgruntle gruffs she gives in the afternoon indicates she's not happy when I'm working. Shame!
Still no numbers (shock) Julia must be have a nice 40 winks ;D
Great to see and hear from you ~ enjoy WOYWW numberless or not!
Looks like a busy desk. Love the look on your guest artist's face. Or maybe that is your artistic muse?
ReplyDeleteDarla
I wish I could look that cute Darla ;D
DeleteI really need to get my act together and get finishing my work...I've got three designs in various stages but nothing finished this week!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment. Mufftypup is very interested to hear what everyone thinks about her pose ^..^
Enjoy WOYWW!
Such a cute little surprise up there, she does look a tad dissappointed though, lol Finally got up there without being fussed at,only to find boring old artwork and no treats! lol waving hi, waiting for Julia to post, from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like that Sandee.
DeleteIt's a ploy actually to disguise the fact that I haven't got any finished work to show ;D
Do you think I've got away with it???
Have fun with WOYWW and thanks for popping back to check on what the surprise was...I hope you weren't as disappointed as Mufftypup ^,,^
Afternoon Ros,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean; I can't imagine life without her now.
She holds a huge part of my heart ♥ and trusts us implicitly...which is a little scary especially when we put her on a long haul flight!
By the way I haven't forgotten I owe you an email...which I've been promising to get to all week...I'm really not managing my time because there just isn't enough of it lately!!!
Still no numbers yet...Mr Linky must be snoozing ;D
Oh Neesie this might be my favorite WOYWW desk every! You know I just love, love, love the doggies and this is one adorable pup! Happy WOYWW! Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
ReplyDeleteOh WOW ~ Muffty will be thrilled.
DeleteAlthough it's nothing less than what she'd expect...she's quite the little diva!
Thanks for visiting and leaving such a great comment.
Have fun with WOYWW ~ enjoy ;D
Hi Neesie, well that's one for the Guiness Book of Records and all I can say is that Muffty has an incredible talent! LOL. Love the pic you are doing of the Opera House (I went there on New Year's eve 1990 and it was so amazing - strawberries and champagne - magical). You have visited me already today - thank you! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #21
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
DeleteHehe...thanks but if Muffty gets the gist she could be even more famous, they'll be no living with her.
That sounds like a New Year to remember! Mmm....strawberries and champagne...two of my favourite things...add chocolate in there and I'm in heaven :D
Lovely to see you ~ Have fun desk hopping ;D
A cute and clever dog...wow! Have a great week trace x. 9
ReplyDeleteWas that wow or woof Trace ;D
DeleteHave a great week too ~ enjoy WOYWW!
Lovely artworks on your "desk" and an admirer too I see! My dog would not have waited for me to capture her on camera I can assure you!
ReplyDeleteWell I did get the 'look' as you can see...what on earth are you having me do now type of look ;D
DeleteThanks for popping by ~ it's always a pleasure to see you.
Have a wonderful week!
oh wow, what a cutie - and such a talented artist.... Happy WOYWW, Helen 6
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you that's very kind of you....oh you mean Muffy :(
DeleteThanks for visiting me...have fun with WOYWW ~ enjoy!
Aw look at her...unimpressed as I would be, by finally making it to the table only to find no snacks! Loving the Opera House pic...when my parents lived in Sydney, it was a part of the view from their flat, and so DD who was then 4 (and therefore since)refers to it as Granny's Opera House. Happy Days!!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia...great to see you ;D
DeleteYep Granny's Opera Houses looking mighty fine.
I did a post about her having her 80th birthday...(not you're Granny ~ the bridge) ;D
Here's the link if you're interested
http://neesienatters.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/sydney-harbour-bridge-80th-birthday.html
Thanks so much for making this crafty space for everyone to have fun and meet...it's very special :D
What a little darling doggie! Like the look of those drawinghs Neesie!
ReplyDeleteJudy #41
Hi Judy,
DeleteGlad you like them...I'll be sure to show the finished product when I can get to them.
She is a little darling isn't she...but I'm biased ;D
Have a wonderful WOYWW ~ Thanks for stopping by ~ Have fun!
Hee hee what a cutie and so so talented too! My cat was what was on my work desk last week so I can empathise on our four-pawed friends taking over! Happy WOYWW! Victoria no.25
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria,
DeleteOh she's very good at taking over...she's done it since the day she arrived and she's eight now! ;D
Thanks for hopping over to my place ~ enjoy WOYWW!
Fabulous artwork as usual, I'm going to lift my two supervisors up onto my desk so they can see your artist helper at the table. Not sure where they were this morning when I took a photo of my desk.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Elaine #10
I'm not so sure about the helping bit Elaine?
DeleteEspecailly if there's a ball or toy lurking nearby, or it's getting to be near dinner time!
Thanks for visiting our space. ;D
Have fun desk hopping ~ I'll have to start tomorrow as it's getting late here now...ZZZzzzZZZz
I'm away this week but have linked one of our days out
ReplyDeleteLynn 47
Hi Lynn,
DeleteI'll be checking out what you're up to...I hope the sun's shining and you're having a great time ;D
Thanks for popping by.
Good to see you have been playing, love the photo it made me laugh, the real artist indeed. LOL He is beautiful but seriously I don't think so......
ReplyDeleteEliza #16
Hi Eliza,
DeleteI'm glad you had a giggle...that's what it's all about. She constantly makes us smile so I thought I'd stread a little of that today.
Happy WOYWW! ;D
Muffin you are so talented, and here's me thinking it was your mum all a long..tut-tut- you are such a cutie too. shame there was no food maybe next time... Have a happy week, Hugs May x x x#11
ReplyDelete^..^ (Muffin) Thanks May, I thought it was time people got to know the truth...my mum is always trying to steal the limelight, but not today!
DeleteI've also seen lots of cats and dogs on the WOYWW blogs...so I believe I'm not alone...they just need to step up and gruff!
Have a wonderful week and enjoy WOYWW ;D
Very unusual zentangle there - I like it! The true artist finally gets noticed, how cute! Happy WOYWW! Karen T 66 x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about what or how I do it...it's just evolved, so I'm not sure my pieces are zentangles for the purest out there...I tend to think they're an eclectic doodle ~ How's that? ;D
DeleteOoops sorry I should have said Muffy work...not mine!
Thanks for popping over here Karen.
Have a wonderful WOYWW! :D
Love your little woofy. Does he have trouble with the slobbers when he draws? The Opera House is fabulous. It's still cold up here, I had to draw in the family room today as someone took the sun away, again.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Von #48
Morning Von...well the sun's here but it's blowing a hoolie out there. Mufftypup and I had a quick brisk fresh walk this morning...blown along by the wind; but it's nice to see the sun.
DeleteMuffy was horrified that you'd think she's the sort of pooch that would slobber! Really Von...she's a pedigree princess!
(I really should stop all this nonsense because people will be thinking that she's totally spoilt ~ as if!)
Have a wonderful Wednesday ~ enjoy WOYWW!
I would like to issue a formal apology to Muffy for daring to think that she would slobber and for calling her a him. I hope she didn't throw a princessy tantrum when she read my comment.
DeleteHe he and I know you would never spoil her (cough, cough).
Von :)
Hehe...she forgives you Von because she knows that you're an animal lover and her Mum's friend ;D
DeleteShe really wouldn't lower herself to have a tizzy fit anyway ~ that's for lesser mortals.
You're right no spoiling here...absolutely NOT! (ahem...)
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you get up to...and let's hope that sun shines :D
Hi Neesie what a great photo! A zentangle master indeed! Why isn't he wearing his glasses though? Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 39
ReplyDeleteShe's not wearing her glasses because basically she's so vain!
DeleteShe's curled up snoozing at the moment after our walk, but really she should be getting on with her work...typical!
Thanks for popping by ~ enjoy desk hopping ;D
What an absolute cutie! I so wish I could have another dog, but wee man is terrified of them. Don't know why, but hopefully that will change as he grows up. Your pictures look like they're going to be completed soon - I look forwards to seeing them Enjoy the rest of your day :0)
ReplyDeleteWho me???? Oh you mean her!
DeleteOh that's such a shame to hear your wee man is frightened. Muffy would be good therapy as she's so gentle and adores attention. You can literally do anything to her. She sits in your arms or on your knee just like a baby. He might not connect her with being a dog ^..^ and therefore not be so scared.
She visits a local Daycare Facility here and all the residents love her as she just sits on their knees whilst they make a fuss and reminisce about the time they had a dog.
I wonder where the phobia came from. Hopefully he'll have good experiences that will take those fears away.
I hope to get to some art today but WOYWW takes such a time to answer everyone and then to go visiting. I've got three pieces of work to complete. I think I might need to stay awake tonight to finish them. ;D
Thanks for stopping by ~ it's always great to see you :D
How cute is that!!!! And I can almost see her putting on those spectacles to finish the job!! Trish #55
ReplyDeleteShe does make us smile daily I have to admit :D
DeleteI've got a photo of her in sunglasses which is so funny.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to visit soon
Have fun with WOYWW! ;D
Blimey! That dog can certainly draw. Can she take good photos too?
ReplyDeleteCan't she just Mark! And you should see her photos...Amazing!
DeleteHe is DARLING! Bet he is a big help!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Hmm...a big help? Let me think about that Nancy and get back to you. ;D
DeleteThanks for popping by my place ~ I appreciate it :D
She's soo cute! That expression speaks volumes! I just wanted to let you know I received my tea-pot print and I'm so happy with it... THANK YOU! It's on my inspiration board next to my work space... sigh... It makes me smile all the time ... and then dash off to put the kettle on! :-) xx
ReplyDeleteAnd she knows it!!!
DeleteOh I'm so please to hear the card arrived at last...I was wondering.
I'm thrilled that you like it...in the flesh as it were ;D
Wow on another inspiration board...I think that's the fourth one now. I'm humbled and honoured.
Hehe...I'm thinking just that ~ the kettle hasn't boiled for at least half an hour...It's time it did :D
Great to see and hear from you as always xoxo
Muffins pictures (and facial expression!) look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI do so love snooping at your drawings...
Have a good week,
Laura
78
Well I think I should hopefully have some finished work to show by next week, then you won't have to snoop ~ although we all love a good snoop don't we?
DeleteHave a great time with WOYWW ~ snoop away ;D
That is one super cute picture! Loving the work going on. Take care & enjoy this week's desk hop/nose/snoop. Zo xx 69
ReplyDeleteHi Zo,
DeleteI hope you're well and thanks for popping over. The pooch was tactical to disguise the fact that I hadn't got any work finished to show follow WOYWWer's...do you think I got away with it??? ;D
But I'm going to concentrate on finishing the outstanding work today...well that's my plan!
Have a wonderful time/snoop yourself ~ enjoy!
Ahhh, all is revealed now. I see you have a true artist at work there. Bet she was coming to see what was keeping you from doing her tea!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #67
I just wish she'd work quicker Lisa,
DeleteThere's a few outstanding pieces and she's so slow ;D
Your right nothing comes between her and her dinner!
Thanks for stopping to comment...I appreciate it.
I love to natter hence the blog name.
Happy WOYWW to you too :D
LOL..... I love the fluffy paper weight.....Oh and the pics are awesome too.....LOL
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Cindy♥
LOL...Brilliant Cindy, I never thought of that.
DeleteI'll hopefully spend some time finishing the pics off today.
Can you believe Mr Kookaburra is still semi-nude!!!
Enjoy your day :D
Oh, I'm so jealous of your drawing!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Aeryn @ #27
Really!!!
DeleteI didn't think you could see much of it from the photo.
I also started one and played with the patterns before knowing what I wanted to do...so had to start another. :D
I hope to have it completed today ~ that's the plan anyway.
Happy WOYWW to you too!
What a cute doggie - hope she has managed to get her drawing all finished by now!
ReplyDeleteBernice #74
She's playing with her beau Zac...he's come to stay for a few weeks holiday.
DeleteI think I can whistle for any more work from her today!
Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy your desk hopping ;D
Awww bless, Mufty-pup is very talented. I love the expression on her face!! Hurry up now Mufty, we ant to see the finished article!!
ReplyDeleteAnthea #137
Nah...Zac's come to play so I'll have to finish it.
DeleteThanks for you cute comment Anthea...I'm passing on all the compliments to Mufftypup ^..^
Enjoy WOYWW! Have lots of fun ;D
OMG, she is adorable!!! How do you not just sit there and draw HER all day?! Hope you have a great week! Darnell #116
ReplyDeleteHehe...thanks Darnell,
DeleteI have tried but I find drawing her very difficult. I wish I could but we have so many photos I'll just have to make do with them.
Thanks for popping over to my place. I appreciate your lovely comment.
Have fun with WOYWW ~ enjoy! ;D
I raced on over here the moment I spotted that cute doggy face in the thumbnail on my sidebar....Muffin is ADORABLE!!! My two boys both have Shih-Tzu in them...Jack is a Jack Russell/Shih-Tzu cross while Cody is a Shih-Tzu/Maltese/Chihuahua cross although you wouldn't suspect Chihuahua to look at him. lol I think Muffin was up at the table admiring all your beautiful art and perhaps a little jealous of what draws your attention away from her. ;) Btw, I spotted the Sydney Opera House immediately AFTER being besotted by Muffin. :)))
ReplyDeleteNo rush Serena...she's not going anywhere ;D
DeleteI'm so happy that you like her because she is special! She has a great temperament too. There are lots of Shih-Tzu mixes here but I've only met two other pure breeds since being here. Hence we couldn't let her have a litter which is something I wanted to do...she was getting a little old for being a first time Mum by the time we came and settled here, plus we couldn't find a mini Shih-Tzu suitable to her demands!!! She had quite a list ;D
You're last sentence really hits the nail on the head Serena...she only lets me work for so long before she lets me know she's ready to play, eat or just in need of a cuddle or attention.
The Opera House hopefully will appear completed soon :D
What a little sweetie.
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are fab as always!
Thanks on both accounts...I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment ;D
DeleteHave a fantastic Friday ~ roll on the weekend!
Hi Neesie - well, this just totally made my day here - Muffin is adorable!! If you truly had her there to detract from a quiet desk, it worked BIG TIME!
ReplyDeleteAhem, next time though, can you please turn your work round so I can see it properly - the Sydney Opera House in Zentangles? Standing on my head here and it looks so impressive - sorry, need to get down, I feel a bit dizzy :(
Big hug to Muffin, you ought to know I'm delighted to see her in such closeup!
Belated Happy WOYWW, Di xx #13
Never underestimate my sneakiness Di ;D
DeleteI'm so glad my plan worked and that it made your day. She is a pure delight I have to tell you. She's eight and we've had such fun with her since day one!
I'm also sorry that you had to do contortions to see my work...I didn't really want it to be seen, but I shouldn't have doubted your snooping abilities! (lol)
I actually got to finish it this afternoon so will post it possibly tomorrow if the sun makes an appearance.
Thanks for popping by and leaving such a great comment...I loved it!
Happy Belated WOYWW ~ Have a fantastic Friday xox
Oh my goodness, that is the cutest thing ever :)
ReplyDeleteAfter me of course Becky...you forgot to add that bit! ;D
DeleteHi Neesie, Muffin is just gorgeous and looks quite the part, ready to lift a pencil and get to work :) It would seem that many crafters enjoy working with a furbaby somewhere near ... right now The Boss is snuggled up under my chair and she will stay there until I go to bed. I just knew Di would be getting into all sorts of contortions to see what's on the desk ... if she could climb into the screen, I swear she would :)) Give that adorable wee dog a pat from me. Belated happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #24
ReplyDeleteWell she's downtools now because her beau Zac has come to stay for a couple of weeks...they'll be high jinks but no art!
DeleteI may even have to do some myself ;D
Yep...Di is truly into contortionism especially if it's a peak at someone's desk! (lol)
I'll be sure to make a fuss of Muffy...she expects no less ^..^
Thanks for popping by my place.
Have fun and enjoy your weekend...I can't believe it's Friday already!
What a little cutie. She's a rock star in my world - walking over my name!!!! tee hee. I never did post that video but I still could, along with my winnings.
ReplyDeleteBeen sickly lately -- had my post written and everything but just didn't link up. Hmmm, I wonder if I can use it for next week. The way I'm going nothing much will have changed.
Hugs,
Kay
Ahh sorry to hear that you're not feeling so good Kay,
DeleteI think you certainly could use your post for next week...my lips are sealed ;|
Yep it appears that the little cutie has stolen the show once again. I've never liked her ;D
It would be great to see your post on her little party piece whenever you feel up to it. But I can understand if you don't feel like it right now.
I hope you're feeling better soon but in the meantime take it easy and just do what you feel.
Enjoy your weekend...I can't believe that it's Friday already!
We'll be up at silly-o-clock tonight to watch the Olympics!
We have 8 new tv channels especially for it :D
Oh Neesie, that's such a sweet picture! What an adorable little dog.
ReplyDeleteAs for the art, it's stunning as usual - Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge certainly lend themselves to zengangle, don't they! I love your work. Have you got a photo album somewhere where it's all together?
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #51
Hi Shoshi,
DeleteI thought so too when I saw them...they've been on my plan to zentangle for quick some time but thankfully I managed to finish it yesterday.
I've actually got the album on the table in the photo on the right.
I'm actually having them all scanned today because up to now I've just photographed them and don't feel that that does them justice.
I'll be posting the Opera House possibly tomorrow or maybe even later today.
Thanks for popping by and leaving a comment ~ it's always great to see you.
Enjoy the weekend...we'll be watching the Olympics at silly-o-clock but loving it! Let's hope the sun shines :D
I'm looking forward to seeing your opera house drawing! So your pooch has opposable thumbs? Cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou name it Kimmie...she's got it! ;D
DeleteI'm hoping to post the Opera House before tomorrow's Artist Play Room challenge closes.
Wish me luck I think I might need it!
Have a wonderful weekend :D
Love your zentangles and your helper too. What a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
Carol
Hi Carol,
DeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving a comment ~ I appreciate it ;D
Have a great weekend!
your illustrations aer beautiful! happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay,
DeleteIt's great to have such positive feedback. :D
Happy WOYWW to you too!
Have a great weekend.
Awww what a sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteYour work is stunning, every time I see it I am amazed by your talent :)
Oh Tracy...you'll make me blush ;D
DeleteThanks for such a wonderful comment. I'm still not as confident as I should be having not done any art for over 12 years but I hope to shed some of my niggles soon.
Thanks for popping over to my place ~ it's always great to see you.
Have a wonderful weekend :D
Hey Neesie, it's finally Friday here too! ;) Sorry I'm running terribly late on return visits this week...it was finals week, but now it's over! These were the last classes for my Bachelors degree, since I was ONE hour short in spring! Anyways, thanks for stopping by my desk...I just love all the House Mouse stamps, wish they would put out a cling set so I could afford to have more than one! lol Your pooch is just adorable and I love the landmark zentangle...will you leave the sail looking things white? They give the eye a place to rest and make a nice balance...imho. ;)
ReplyDeleteDeeyll #144
Phewph Deeyll you must be thrilled finals week is over...life can begin again eh? Good luck with the results!
DeleteI like to leave some of my design white which isn't truly zentangling but I just do what I feel is right and yes I will be leaving the roof tiles as they are ;D
Thanks for stopping over ~ I really appreciate you must have so much to catch up on and it's great to get your opinion.
Have a wonderful weekend ~ enjoy and do what you feel because I'm sure you deserve it! :D
that is one cutie patootie you have there and your drawings are amazing thank you for stopping by my little blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW #152
Patootie...I like that! ;D
DeleteThanks for calling in and leaving a comment...I appreciate it.
Have a wonderful weekend ~ enjoy!
What a sweetie pie!
ReplyDeleteNow I saw that you've been in Australia for 22 years--but England is still home. I feel the same way about North Dakota. I may live here, but I am a Minnesotan and always will be. The difference is that I only traveled across a river to get over here--LOL! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
I've crossed many rivers in my 23 years of being an expat Rita...in fact oceans too.
DeleteI am a Brit and all my family are at home in Cheshire (UK) wondering when my wandering will come to an end.
We arrived here in January 2009.
I think Melbourne will be our last port of call before heading home...but I have to say it's been the best location we've been to and I'll be sorry to leave...but then home is pulling on my heart strings ;D
I hope your weekend is fantastic and not a scorcher! Hopefully a cool breeze will come your way :D
She's so cute. Your drawings are amazing. Thanks for popping by my blog this week, much appreciated. Sorry I'm so late - I always seem to have so much to do. Anne x
ReplyDeleteOh don't apologise for being late Anne...I'm now known as 'tail-end Charlie' and always seem to be dashing about trying to get in before deadlines.
DeleteIt's just good to see you and thanks for leaving a lovely comment.
I hope your having a great weekend ~ enjoy whatever you get up to :D
