I took this on Tuesday, late morning. because the light was so good - see, early autumn sunshine has caused the Suzy Homemaker in me to get two loads of washing on the line. Gracious. A sure sign that I'm making the most of what's left of late summer.
This is a good angle for seeing the before and after of a couple of days really. The pile in the immediate foreground at right is part of my clear stamps collection..having been rifled through for something or other yesterday. The tidy trays, perenially to hand are in the stamp cleaning basket...because they too could do with a clean. You can see that Miss Dunnit had just delivered me a mid-morning coffee. At this stage of the day, I'm doing other work and trying to clear space in the day to play at this desk. You can see my old and untrendy iphone and the basket at the end holds ribbon and distress stains. I took them to the crop at the weekend and hadn't quite got around to putting them in their proper places. Behind that basket is another yellow plastic basket - a collapsible RUB of about 5 x 7 that I use as a bin on my table when I crop or demo. Not put away yet. Not overly exciting this week huh. Nor is it, 8 hours further into Tuesday. I tidied, and got on with cutting and counting and preparation, so there's not much to show. Except it's a ll a bit tidier because to create room to make a mess in, I had to tidy!
Be more inspiring will you? Show us what you're doing at your desk today - upload a pic to your blog, put WOYWW in the title and link it here. Visits are reciprocated as far as is humanly possible. Don't be blatant about your products and don't link to any old post just for hits...that's not in the spirit of the thing. And if you can, turn off word verification. If only for the day!

Looks like a lot is getting done!! It's nice to hang clothes out on the line too!
I can hardly believe that I made first place this week. I really should be in bed, but my sleep pattern is all over the place at the moment. Your desk always looks so interesting Julia. Hugs Rita xx
Oh - I like your 'mug warmer' - I need one of those - my cups of tea need to be reheated in the microwave before I get to the end of them! Your iphone looks quite trendy to me - its PINK - how much more trendy do you want!!?
Bernice
Oh I see you added the Hello my name is Nerd layout! Saw it on your desk crop day but you were elsewhere and I never got to say how much I loved it. Too cool! That tottering pile of stamps is scary. Next, lie the ladder shot we will see Mr Dunnit, prone, covered in folders....
:)

Great desk Julia, love it when I can get me washing on the line.. you do have Miss Dunnit well trained or is she after something bringing you your morning coffee!!tee-hee. I am sorry about having two numbers this week but number 6 can be removed... new computer and got it wrong.. I am number 8... Hugs May x x x
I think I might knit a mug warmer ...they sound a graet idea ...cant believe I managed to be #9 ...it was worth staying up. xx
it is lovely to see washing on the line, never see it here, not allowed by the home owners association. I sneak some out on my clothes horse though, the weather is far too good here not to dry the heavy stuff outdoors. I miss seeing it blowing in the breeze though!
have a great week, Debxx
Looks like evidence of a busy crafter, Julia - hope you have a good week (Hazel, WOYWW 7) x
had to post a bit early here in US I've got a really busy morning in the OR. love the desk and all the goodies but what caught my eye was what was outside the window. Clothes drying on the line. I love the smell of clothes, especially bed clothes that are dried on the line. have a great day!
looks like a very nice day outside, Julia! and my, your desk is tidier and there's a lot of space to mess up again! thanks for the inspiration to make some space in my desk! i've been painting on top of the huge pile of junk that people usually throw away and which i put away!
Hi Julia, love the mantra of creating room to make a mess in - priceless. BJ#20
Love to see clothes hanging on line. It's illegal here in some places, can you believe it? Great desk.
Famfa 22
Love your mug holder that's so cool, so what are you going to be creating today?
Thank you ladies for visiting my blog last Wednesday my husband ended up chickening out of surgery on the actual day so wasn't impressed at all...
This week I'm planning on dropping by and saying hello wasn't in a good place of mind last week to say hello lol....
Hi Julia, interestingly busy desk this week and re your iPhone, I don't even have one boo hoo.
I'm just about to start making some mug cozies, they seem to be a trendy thing right now.
Cheers, Elaine #28
that cuppa coffee looks good! ready for some serious crafting I see!
i can smell freshly-brewed coffee, hmmmm, nice big mug. you seem to have many interesting things going there. create, create, create! melinda alpha #28
Your lay-out in your last post is sooo pretty. I am very behind with scrapbooking too. So many projects and not enough down time to do them! I certainly have some tidying to do as well. Happy Wednesday, Lisa
Good Morning to You..love the smell of fresh fabric, when hung outdoors. What would we do if there was no plastic containers to stash stuff?
Seems we all use a LOT of it. I always envy your view and brightness from that window. Have a great week.
Sure wish we could hang clothes on the line here...nothing smells better or feels better than sheets that have been hung out to dry! Happy WOYWW, Julia!
Lovely sunny day! And your desk is as busy as usual! I see your phone- at least its an Iphone! Mine is a palm something that is out of production but it works fine and I'm the type who would rather spend for art supplies than a bright new phone! Patsy
I love morning coffee! Your mug looks very inviting and I wish my desk was as clean as yours! I'm still looking for clear stamps too. Hugs to you dearest! --Sandy Leigh
I think we all understand that at some stage you must tidy just a bit if only to make a little space to make more mess, oops, art, in! Nothing wrong with your cute pink phone, no matter what vintage it is. I am still using a flip phone hand-me-down! Happy WOYWW, RosA # 37
Hi Julie!! I hope your crop business is going good!!
I hope you don't mind I bragged about being published in my post this week. I know, shameless :(
Happy WOYWW!!
xxDaniella#39
Isn't it the best to get coffee delivered? Barb 34
My grandma helped me do a post for your blog hop again.
You have lots of art supplies!
ah Julia washing on the line - know it is luxury over there but we can generally do it here (have now out there today!) and whinge big time when we cannot.. and those stamps what a tottering, teetering pile! I also like your mug warmer and can see great purpose in that, mm! Thanks for sharing and happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz.x about #35 I think. :D
You can tidy all you like but I find the more you do the more you find is that the same with you? I found some new stamps when cleaning up, can't even remember purchasing them LOL be nice if I found some amazing products that just magically appeared from the genie
Happy WOYWW
Eliza
It always looks like you have tons of fun projects going on at your desk!!! Rock on!
Of course the cherry fabric caught my eye first. Never thought to use my tidy tray to corral all the bits and pieces I have around. Gonna dig mine out! Loved your Nerd is my middle name page too! Gave me a chuckle! Happy WOYW?W!
Oh you are just sjowing off your Suzy Homemaker skills now, hanging your wash up for us to see...course right now over here, it would blow away with the storms we have been having, but glad you are getting some sunshine! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Wow, I can't believe that you are not allowed to hang out washing in some parts of the world. It's the norm here, I don't own a dryer! Love the little cup warmer, so cute. I only tidy my desk to make room to make more mess, so I'm right with you on that. I have to say that your pile on the right has far outclassed my mess, well done.
Have a great week.
Von #49
i see another fan of the iphone,not sure why you are calling it untrendy but they have their uses,yes enjoy the sunshine for you washing but wrap up in the mornings and night as certainly getting chilly now
have a fab week
kay #56
A busy desk and wonderful sunshine! Getting chilly here !!! But sunny too. Have a great woyww. Trace x 58
Love the mini yellow collapsing basket, not seen small ones before. Love drying washing on the line, off to put mine out now before work.
Kyla #59
Sorry, my desk isn't at all inspiring this week! Dull, dull, dull....
Its been a while but I finally made a mess on my desk this week.
Hi Julia
We all need coffee to keep us going, nice you have a little miss to deliver it for you
xx
Erm... I have been AWOL. Can"t believe how I couldn't cope with my odd working hours in the school holidays and remembering to play along too. I apologise for my inability to multitask! Back now! Like that cup of coffee - think Miss Dunnit earns her keep if she brings those on a regular basis! x
Time for a brew after all that work and I don't mean crafting but washing. How come you got some sunshine and all I have is pouring rain??
Hugs Joanne xx
Autum over there where you are, meand it is Spring here. I am so happy that the cold is finally going away,
Your desk looks like it has more than enough room to play and while all those stamps are out... you might as well use them.
Happy WOYWW!
Yes, isn't it lovely to have just a little bit more sunshine before Autumn hits us. I made the most of it yesterday too and got my washing done.
Glad that you're in the zone for making, tidying, collating etc etc. Please can you shove some of that enthusiasm my way??
LLJ #75 xx
great looking fun desk this week. I found it interesting when I traveled to the UK that everyone still hangs laundry out and hardly anyone owns a dryer. I haven't had a clothes line in over 30 years and while it isn't illegal to own one the home owners association frowns on it unless you have an enclosed yard! RULES!!! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #73
I have that untrendy iphone as well works fine for me too.. I see the coffee cozy has made an appearance on your desk with your coffee, hope its working well. My desk is a no show today have pics of my veggie garden instead today..
Have great day
Sandy :)
I love the idea of tidying so you can make more mess...... makes sense to me. Have a good week and if you can get out and enjoy the last of the sunshine.
janet
I miss being able to dry washing outside...a downside of flat dwelling! I love autumn though. Whilst my body clock wakes me so I can link nice and early I leave commenting till I'm (kind of) awake and functioning... Have a good day.Helen 5.
Looking busy as always - and I have also been washing like a mad woman this week to make the most of this fine weather! Now I just have to deal with the ironing! Happy WOYWW Cindy x
There's a lot of cleaning going on/planned at your place Julia! If you've got a spare hour do you fancy giving my place the once over...!? Seriously, not sure how you do everything and remain a domestic goddess but at least you give us all a target in life:)
Hugs, Buttons #79
Looking productive, and as for washing on the line.. well this summer has been a washout for that! Can count on one hand how many times this year I have hung out washing...
Have a great day
Jennie #50
You have a terrific workspace Julia. It always looks used with purpose, so full of tools and great supplies. I would love to touch and play with everything like an over sugared child. I hope you have an excellent week, I am so glad to be part of WOYWW. Frances #79
Gotta Love that autumn sunshine! It won't be long before we hit the rainy season again (around Nov 1st here. My grass may not love the sunshine, but I do! Thanks for the peek as always-Amanda #83
Nothing nicer than a line of clean fresh washing blowing in a gentle breeze.
Your mug has reminded me the kettle boiled 10 mins ago LOL
Have a great week.
Toni xx
the autumn is gorgeous, isn't it? i just love september!
such a busy, busy desk :)
happy WOYWW!

I'm back in person today having had a few days AWOL....did you miss me? :-)
Hugs,

New washing powder at the ready for my holiday clothes to be refreshed for our family holiday in St. Ives on Saturday. Mum's 80th birthday present and my sisters 47th.
Oops it's just started raining so that's outside drying gone for a burton.
I've scheduled a posting for next Wednesday and I am hoping to link it up from my IPad.
Have a great week Julia. Get the washing in quick !!! X
Something satisfying about a line of washing blowing in the wind - but then I am easily pleased. x Jo
Ha, I washed tons these past few days - wanna hop up and help with the ironing?
Loved my weekly mooch round your desk Julia - so, is the cream and dark red spots cushion thingy I spy on the front right for a quite kip now and then? Or do I need my eyes checked?
Happy WOYWW, Di xx #81
I don't know if my desk is inspiring, but I was inspired to make what's on it. Does that count?
Every time I hang my washing out I think it might be the last time this year. Nothing is quite so nice as bed linen that's dried outside. I'll miss it!
have fun,
rachel #64
Great desk today, I know what you mean re washing, I'm going to do mine today. Fracnesca #92
I toyed with washing all day yesterday but indecision about the weather got the better of me, it's in the machine now though so I'm feeling good and housewifely today!!!
Well done on your two loads.
You always have such an interesting desk. Love the bright coffee mug and I like that you have a daughter that brings it, I have some training to do I think!!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #93
Hi Julia you look very organised today with a cuppa made and washing out....I'm late today, whoops! Have a super day, hugs Erika.
The weather is fab at the moment isn't it? Two loads a day in this house!
Loved your post about the tidy trays the other day.
My desk actually has crafting on it today!
Have a great Wednesday.
Jakix #96
Well your desk shows you are having lots of creative fun and like mine needs a tidy up to get going again hehe.
Happy WOYWW and have a creative end to the week.
hugs {brenda} xox #98
How lovely to have someone to bring you coffee! I am training my boy to make tea and he is pretty good at it now too but the authorities get a bit funny if you keep 6 year olds off school to make you hot drinks... Good luck with the preparations for the classes, sounds exciting. Wish I could do something like that. And today, if I put my washing out, I fear it would be stiff in minutes, blooming cold this morning huh?!
Lovely cup of tea, and the surface of your workdesk - what a result!!
Alison x
Morning Julia. I too am enjoying the last of the sun! I am tackling my ironing mountain - 10 items a day until I reach the foothills!! I may be a while ;-D We missed Spring sunshine so we seem to be wanting to Autumn clean instead!! I'm with you though - get organised and get back to playing!! Have fun and Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 102
how well trained is she......bringing you coffee. Desk looks very creative, thanks for all your work in organising this each week...happy wednesday

Busy desk and great snoop as ever... even got the washing out. I love line dried clothes, especially towels.
Lv Jo x
this is really fun!!!!
Lovely to be back. Why do clothes always smell so much better after coming off the line? I have a drier, as I think towels HAVE to go in it to make them fluffy and to cope with the many many days in the UK when it is raining, but it is always wonderful to see clothes out on the line (until it starts to rain and you see me rushing out to rescue it!). Back to the more important world of crafting!! I wonder how high a pile my stamps would make if I piled them up?? Ali x #106
Morning! No desk from me today, it's empty, and little is being done so there isn't anything to capture on camera. I'm sure no one is interested in photos of the kettle, cos to be honest that's the most active part of my house today! Take care Zo xx
I love the smell of laundry dried on my outside line. All summer long I use that! Your desk looks very neat and clean this week. Wonderful light coming through your windows!
LIke your busy chaotic desk and the cothes lining in the sun - I love the smell of fresh air dried cothes!
BarbaraBee
Busy busy desk as usual! Happy WOYWW dear Julia. ♥
Thank you for always hosting us. xx
Roudi #112
A busy desk as usual Julia and the laundry done too!
Beautiful autuminal light...I could just sit with that cuppa watching the washing dry ;D
I'm away at the moment from my usual desk but there's lots of inspiration and I have my art supplies with me...whoohoo!
Possums posing, Kangaroos calling and Kookaburras carrying on...and that's only this evening! Lots of photos to follow...
Thanks for hosting yet again...

Whoopoos...sorry Happy WOYWW ♥Neesie♥ #108
Busy bee, aren't you!
You just have to take every opportunity of the sunshine at this time of year don’t you Julia. I was doing washing and getting a bit of tidying in the garden done yesterday too.
I really think we need to train those little crafting fairies to come in while we sleep to clean our desks for us, what do you think?
Happy Crafting!

Finally made it here after a long... short summer. Very busy... weddings, new grandbaby.....etc. I did check in from time to time, but since I wasn't updating my own blog, I didn't comment. Love your desk view today... and I need to check into those trays! well off to check out the blogs! have a good one!
I just seen your blog and was looking at everyone elses blogs for the WOYWW. Everyone has great rooms. Can anyone still participate in this or is it to late? Thanks
I have to say you were lucky getting your washing dry yesterday. We had glorious sunshine one minute and downpours the next a few times yesterday!
Not joining in this week...not able to upload photos this morning and it is our first dancing tonight so will hopefully be with you next week.
Hugs....not long now...23 more sleeps I think!
xx
LOL! Autumn sunshine has me sitting on the deck reading a book (thinking I should be doing laundry, or at very least mopping the floors!) Well, at least on weekends..on weekdays..wishing I could play hookie and not go to work! (and cycle back to top).
Love your autumn sunshine. Here in the southwest of the U.S. it still seems like summer as we're expecting temps in the upper 90's. I'm washing sheets to put out on the line right now! Love my "solar clothes dryer"! And you were such an inspiration a couple weeks ago with your very clean desk that I finally (out of desperation) cleaned mine.
Carol N #124
This is my first time linking WOYWW - I just love this idea! Off to check out others' workdesks!
Hi Julia,
I didn't leave a comment last night as I linked up using my smart phone. Had a TERRIBLE day at work so just laid on the couch, mentally and physically exhausted.
Your desk looks quite inspiring - love the sunshine coming through the window. And there is nothing that smells more fresh than sun dried sheets!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs, Kay #17
Ah. Coffee, just what a girl needs :)
The sun's shining here today too and there's lots of lovely white clouds floating in a blue, blue sky ... perfect drying weather. My messes always end up with me tidying up just so that I can make another mess too. Happy WOYWW and hope you have a lovely week. Elizabeth x #113
Can't believe it is Wed already and that the sun is shining.Sandy Dallas
Love that adorable cozy on your coffee mug! :)
I miss hanging wash on the line! :)
Happy WOYWW!
Mary Jo #115
Hi Julie...Autumn weather is so great...I am enjoying my last swims here in Lesvos...I am also getting caroets and stuff washed ,ready for the winter...You are so lucky to get tea delivered to your desk...keep well.
Looks very tidy from where I am sitting! how lovely to have your daughter bring you a coffee - I am trying to train my son to make tea but it is not going well! I too have washing on the line today - must be something in the air!
Oops sorry the wrong link came up #134. (plz delete).
You have been busy, well done on getting the washing on the line got to make the most of it before we go back to months of tumble dry and clothes airers!!!
Hugs Pam x
You ladies don't play I did my post but forgot to link it up made it to #139 this week! It's been a blast!Tamika
I like to visit you and your piles of this and that. Usually you've got something good going on, lots of creating, and what the heck, even laundry. I really need to get some actual work done today (being as that's what they pay me for 'n all) so I'll be rather scarce. I'll miss everyone!
You've impressed me no end this fine day, Julia! Not only can I see the top of your desk, but you've got wash out on line. Check you out!!
Thanks, as always! Have a fantastic week! Darnell #132
Hi Julia
Nothing beats laundry drying outside, I think I can count on one hand how many times that's happened over what has meant to be "summer". I'm laughing at your untrendy Iphone, I would swap that for my BB. Looks like you've been busy at your desk. Happy WOYWW. Gillian #87
Yes Julia there's a definite feel of autumn in the air not much drying time left for this year. What's the red and white padded thing is it a bag or a cushion ? happy days toni 140 x
Julia! Oh how I love the day shots. There's life in these pictures. So right this minute...and most minutes actually...if one looked out of my window, one would see clothes drying on a rack. So your drying clothes make my heart beat a bit faster. I love the photos in English interior decor mags. that show large kitchens with clothes drying on a 'Jenny' I think is the name. Clothes hung to dry tell a human story I feel. Okay I did get astray of things workdesk, sorry!
Well I know what you mean about tidying to get things done. It sure works for me. I can really function so much better when the surrounding area is tidy. Not to mention that when I tidy I find things lost, missing in action, or forgotten. I see that you have TWO of those plastic trays meant to catch extra powder so as to be able to put back into the container. Awesome. Have a great day. Ciao! Norma, xo
Your desk is always so busy! How do you do it? Busy crafter!
Aeryn @ #116
Hi Julia
I have missed participating in WOYWW this past month or so and hope to be back soon!
We have moved into our new home and are in the process of digging out. I am also in the process of creating a new workspace, which I look forward to sharing, as soon as the camera cable turns up so that I can actually upload photos to my computer!
Anyway, wanted to wish you and all of my WOYWW friends a wonderful week - you all are missed and I hope to be back in the swing of things real soon!
Ramona
(no WOYWW post, but come visit me anyway!)
http://create-with-joy.com
Y'know what? I never commented! Linked and ran, sorry!!! Nice tidy desk and love the smell of clothes dried on the line. I don't have a iphone so you're well ahead of me! October WILL be my month, especially seeing as I have to spend the majority of it on my own!! I'll be looking like an old bag lady with food crusted all around her mouth by the time he gets home!!!
Hugs
Brenda 1 <-- Yes, finally!!
Wish I could hang my washing out. The line's broken. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a line full of washing- well perhaps there is, but it's satisfying none the less!
How late am I this week! Happy WOYWW, jenx
I reckong that's still too small a space to create on unless you are knitting lol, so nice of Miss Dunnit to bring you a cuppa, may I borrow her?
Bridget #13
Gorgeous autumn weather, I love the sunshine flickering on golden leaves. I have stamps in files and when I'm looking for stamps I have files all over the floor!!. I love your mug cover, is it handmade? it's really pretty. Enjoy getting your desk messy again, Happy Woyww :-) Kerry xxx
Always find your desk interesting Julia - mine is very uninteresting - too tidy!!! I've just seen that I am number 149 again - spooky hey. Off for a nose. Anne x #149
First time for me linking also I just hope that I done it right lol. Your room looks nice
My daughter is catching the WOYWW bug, Julia--she was investigating your desk quite thoroughly!
:)
HI Julia
A strange thing, I have noticed both last week and this week that my number has changed, both forward and backward. Any ideas why?
Brenda x
Howdy Julia,
I'm back. Your desk looks very productive. Mine is a tad messy/jumbled this week.
Would love for you to stop by when you have a minute or 2. I have some exciting news!
Peace,
LuLu
Autumn is my favorite season! Here it becomes cooler, but not too cold, and the leaves are changing. All of the windows stay open because it is so gorgeous out!
Have a beautiful week, my friend!
Annie #153
Thanks for starting this challenge. It is comforting to know that others crafter desk are similar to mine
Hi Julia
didn't make it yesterday - as usual, even the easiest task slowed me down. I did take pics though so will be able to manage a late on.
I noticed the washing on the line too - my back is usually to the washing when I take pics of my desk - or you'd see my big nickers!!!
This angle shows what a massive desk you have actually... ((envious))!!!
Don't be-little your poor ipod/phone/pad - I have none but a blackberry with poo apps, so could do with one of said 'i' thingies... If you don't want them mind, send this way- I'll have an untrendy 'i' anything!
I'm with you on the tidying to make a mess... my kids do that well - only I tidy for them to make a mess.
big hugs to you
Paula x x x
Tamika #137 I guess the moderator has deleted duplicates there for some people have moved up a notch since yesterday!
Love the clothesline Julia! I can't do that here, or I would a critter here & there in the Laundry! I know just what you mean about tidying up to make a mess! I thought it was just me!! How dumb is that!!
Hugs Lori R.
Hi Julia! I'm late as usual...go figure!
Loving your desk this week. How completely sweet of Miss Dunnit to deliver your coffee to you! That's the best part of any desk! Haha!

Julia...I'm late...I apologize! I've actually been organizing my little piece of heaven....Your desk looks so welcoming...maybe it's that coffe in the cute cup waiting to be enjoyed. Enjoy the day, I'll be back tomorrow to see what everyone is up to.
What a luscious mess! Well done with your card making marathon. I hope your trip goes well today and isn't too affected by the rain. Thank you for hosting WOYWW - my first time, to celebrate being back in my own home,

love the desk-I'd love to be let loose on your desk! at least yours is the aftermath of something good!!
