What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 243

Brace yourself.  I may not have made/had much time to spend at the desk, but my word, I've made a mess on it!  I'm working on some backgrounds using lots of stamps and inks for a bit of a 'free for all' workshop next month.  I'm having more fun than I thought I would..although it is in five minute bursts!

Even I'm at a bit of a loss to pick out bits to talk about, good grief it is a mess!  Still, at least it was daylight when I got home to take the photo (Tuesday afternoon) and this cold Wednesday I'm going to be a domestic goddess.  And a business administrator goddess.  And a laundry goddess.  And a craft goddess. And a computer tech goddess.  Seriously, it's a busy day!
So join in and keep me at my computer! If you need them, instructions are on pages a click away - under the blog header. Please put WOYWW in your post title and when you comment at other's, please leave your link number. 
I have to hijack the post at this point and thank you SO SO much for your responses to my hilariously nosey and introspective post last week.  You are all so interesting and we are definitely all joined by blogging.

I suspect right now you are a sleeping Goddess, a dreaming Goddess, and a warm Goddess. Hope it's not as cold there as it is here. And I promise not to say anything about your desk (grin).

Happy WOYWW from #1 again this week. No, I can't believe it, either.

Good morning, Julia. If you think your desk is a mess, you have obviously forgotten the total bomb site which was my desk. To me, your desk just looks well worth a good snoop. Thank you for sharing it all with the rest of us. xx Maggie #1 (I think)

MaggieC (Silvercrafter) said...

You are sneaky, Elizabeth. I thought I was numero uno, but you just crept in under the wire again. xx Maggie now number 2

You are definitely the woyww goddess and as always lots of activity on your desk. We wouldn't want it any other way.

You are a true goddess, or should I say, woman. We can do, almost, all things. #3

Create With Joy said...

Your desk is a real source of inspiration as always!

Brace yourself: this week I have REAL DESK SHOTS AND a project! No wonder it's snowing across the country! I think I landed at #10 so stop by and have a great week!

Art Joy of Sharing with Peg and Shel said...

I recognize that face stamp. I think I have one...somewhere. I love the goddess theme. I must confess, most days I am more like a horse in harness than goddess. Glad you are crafting even if it is only 5 min. at a crack. Peg R #13

RosA said...

Your desk looks fine to me! And there's a lot going on, one way or another.
(I'm still thinking about replying to your recent post re. blogging, because I do have a lot to say about it :) :)

Deb said...

so very creative, I love it when a project requires many stamps and inks!
Have a great week! Deb #17

Neet said...

Sorry I did not join in last week, still suffering but home in just over a week and then hopefully can get sorted.
Your free for all sounds good - nice to be able to play or work and make it look like play.
Hugs, Neet 16 xx

Nikki said...

As long as you sneak in and find a little time here and there that's all that matters my desk is pretty boring and tidy at the moment but that's just me have a wonderful day being the goddess of all !!

Happy WOYWW,

April said...

Your list of accomplishments is very impressive. I wish I could get that much done in one day. :-) I am better at making messes than cleaning them up. LOL April #22

Sylvia/LittleTreasures said...

What a simple post ! I just fiished reading your previous fun blog and added my few words.
I really want to start using more stamping techniques. And I like the use of all your background designs.
Sunshine...I keep hoping, just for warmth. But it uplifts my mood so much. And I guess I like a messy desk, makes me feel comfortable. Have a fun WOYWW and ENJOY the day

Arnoldo L. Romero, MLA said...

It's hard keeping a tidy desk when you have such a busy schedule. Blessings!

Claire Grantham said...

I'm envious of your desk this week Julia..I have been unwell and mine is BORING and tidy. I loved your nosy post, I made 2 attempts to comment, but not sure if it made it up..the crux of my comment was to say thank you for your blog and to never change, your conversational chatty tone. Cx #27

Sharon Madson said...

Your desk looks like you have been working...It is fun to not have to clean up your desk in between bursts. :) Have a great day! :)

Helen said...

Dear Goddess of all she surveys - your desk is not a mess!! I could come and make it messy for you though.. Helen 9

Kyla said...

Goddess on so many fronts, seriously I don't know where you find the time! Loving the creative desk.
Kyla #34

shazsilverwolf said...

Thats what a real crafters desk should look like! I also recognise that face stamp, I have it to, (somewhere). Everything is 'somewhere' in this house. You forgot being the WOYWW goddess- we'd be lost without you to keep us in order. Have a great week, Julia. Hugs, Shaz #35 xx. (off to bed now, lol).

Jackie said...

Enjoy your day being a goddess !
I to have a similar day ahead!

Annie said...

So many hats to be worn in one day eh? Hope it's a good one for you.
Hugs,

glitterandglue said...

Good morning, Julia. Sounds like one manic day - I think I may need to go sit down and get my breath back just thinking about it all! Trust all goes well, and that you manage just a wee time sitting gazing at all our desks ...
Have a great week.
Margaret #39

Fiona@Staring at the Sea said...

Having to be so many different godesses all in one day, you could do with being one of those many armed Indian deities! Hope you get a little time in there for desk hopping :o)

Maisie Moonshine said...

Yep that's a mess, Julia. I quite like the idea of being a messy godess though - I think I could handle that. Have a fun day in your various godessly guises, will you be changing robes for each incarnation or wearing a "one robe suits all" little number? MMx

Maisie Moonshine said...

Sorry that's MMx #43

Ann B said...

Now that's what I call a craft desk, you just cannot beat a good mess. Good choice off stamps there Julia, the face is one of my favourites. Busy day ahead of you but you will breeze through it on lashings of hot tea and toast.

My name is Cindy said...

Looking good - hope all that 'godessing' doesn't tire you out. If I wasn't going to work I would join you at the computer although the temptation to be a 'watching the telly from the sofa goddess' would be v strong. However tis not to be. Happy WOYWW, Cindy x

Pam said...

Looks just like my desk Hun, hope your well.

Have a good WOYW Wednesday.

lisa said...

Phew, that's a busy day. Make time to be a feet up with a cup of coffee goddess too amongst it all.
Looks like a fun desk.
Hugs Lisax #59

Mrs.D said...

Oh great goddess we thank you for hosting this wonderful opportunity for us to connect with other crafters.
Your desk is indeed busy, I wonder if there is any way to define the line between busy and mess, but yours certainly has not overstepped that mark yet. At least not in my humble opinion and if you can still work on it, then it is just busy and you have produced that pretty pink card on top.

Joanne said...

Well its good to see you are back to normal with a 'messy' desk.

Twiglet said...

A fun filled desk there Julia - enjoy your busy day then practise being a relaxation goddess and put your feet up! x Jo

Eliza said...

Messy or not it looks productive and the main thing is you are having fun. I like messy desks more to look at.

Have a great week

Hugs Eliza & Yoda 14

Anne said...

Hi Julia I think if you could see all of the mess on my table and everywhere else you would have to agree mine is worse :-) Good you are having fun. I don't think I was last week when preparing and am seriously questioning if I want to do it any more. Happy WOYWW Anne x #63

CraftygasheadZo said...

Looks a very productive desk indeed! Hope you enjoy your Goddess day. More good news yesterday, thought I'd share it with woyww-ers cos I know lots of my crafty friends like to know how I'm getting on!! Take care Zo xx64

Unknown said...

morning Julia...your day sounds a lot like mine today...promise i read your post after I posted....I am glad that other people also have chaos around them sometimes....
Keep well...have a cup o tea...Zeffy 66

Carol Rigby said...

Hi Julia It's nice to see a messy desk. I have to confess that I tidied mine up for this,my first post linked to WOYWW. I am looking forward to taking part.

Christine said...

Mornin'
I blame the five minute bursts for all the mess - mine is as bad if not worse! I suppose five minute bursts are better than nothing but sooner or later we will have to face the big bad IsaidTidyUp - sorry! When the children were little it lived here permanently.
Thanks for hosting and I will catch up with your last few posts now I am back among the crafters.

Hi Julia, the busier we are the more we get done....go!!!goddess Julia Cheers RobynO#71

BJ said...

Oops nearly forgot to leave a comment after linking. Glad you have been having a bit of FUN at your desk this week if only in 5 minute bursts.

I love this site as it gives me a reason to post each week and to do a recap of the previous week, of what I did and did not do and what I intend to do. It sort of gives me a place for accountability.

I like colour and think photos really help a blog page with as concise writing as is possible - if there is too much writing I tend to gloss over it.

Thanks Julia this weekly event has really helped my blogging. BJ#72

Unknown said...

Morning Julia. You desk looks like mine did! Trying not to gloat or anything ;-) I really enjoyed your last post and everyones comments. That has got to be a record response. It was wonderful to read how much of a community has grown from blogging and I think you can take some credit for that Julia as WOYWW is a fabulously inclusive idea. I haven't been around for a while so I am looking forward to catching up with everyone. WOYWW Hugs from Helen 74 x

It's hard trying to be a goddess ;)

Carmen said...

Bit behind in my blog reading so only just saw your previous post. Blimey, how thought provoking!Except a late reply from me :)

Karen said...

Phew long time no speak but I'm kind of back now. Dialysis is tiring but life changes once again. Will be visiting as many as possible before I take a rest. Happy WOYWW! Karen x

Sarah said...

That is what my friend would call a proper desk she claims my craft space is far too tidy yours she would approve of and to be honest I do too.

Dianne said...

Hello Miss Goddess , messy desk means a busy one :), I hope you get to do whatever you want today,I'm off to water fit and will visit this afternoon, have a wonderful day, ((( BIG HUGS )))..

So glad to be back in the fold and seeing that you are a "Goddess" I presume I won't be getting a telling off for absenteeism. Great mess there and well worth a good snoop.

Lovely messy and creative desk! And I see one of my favorite stamps - the face! Lindart #91

Kim said...

And shouldn't we all embrace our inner goddess??? Love the sound of a free for all...I don't get many days to just experiment and play! Have fun...

Cazzy said...

Hi Julia, I love a messy desk! I'm working with a tablet, pc crisis, and have managed a blog post but I don't think I will be able to link. Please can you link me?

Thanks,
Carol

Laura said...

Glad you are finding some playtime in amongst all the duties that a goddess must perform. :) Hope you'll show us all the brilliant things you've come up with for your workshop. Sounds like my evening last night: fire tending goddess, laundry goddess, food preparation goddess . . . I saw your inquisitive post and emailed myself the link so I could respond to it at some point. (Best intentions?) Happy WOYWW! ~ Laura #83

Kelly said...

Good morning, Julia. I was determined to have a semi-clean desk with something to show this week. I am always a work in progress. Will comment on your previous post later.
Creative Blessings! Kelly #92

Princess Judy Palmer said...

Ah... a nicely creative desk. And my creative I mean workably messy. It looks like there are plenty of projects in progress coming along there. We'll stay soon to see what comes of them.

I just found you and am so excited to be able to peep through everyone's workspaces! I want to dig through your desk for treasure.

Happy Wednesday! Good luck with all the cleaning and crafting!

First time WOYWW'er! How fun is this to see everyone's messy desks! Great morale booster when I get down on my
lack of organization. Looking forward to popping around the other blogs.

Greetings! This is my first WOYWW and it's a pleasure to participate. I'm looking forward to visiting so many of these (many!) blogs to see the many creations and inspirations out there!

Rachel Webber said...

Wow! your desk makes me feel so at home - I am organised at work but my craft area is so much more comfortable to the way my mind works, which is very varied & all over the place, lots on the go at once!

Anonymous said...

Wow, so many comments! I am tired scrolling through all of them. Thanks for your visit already. I got distracted by life and only now sitting down to have a blog tour. Ali x. #56

Elizabeth said...

Hi Julia, sadly I've been hampered from commenting all day long while blogger has been having a bit of a hissy fit. Hope your plan to be tied to the computer and so escape that long list of to-dos worked out for you :) Tomorrow may be a better day and I might just succeed in staying online for more than 5 minutes at a time. Hugs, Elizabeth xx #70

okienurse said...

late getting around again as usual but I did make it in on a Wednesday! Thought I had posted it earlier but just walked off and left in sitting in limbo! Hope you got to spend a lot of time as computer goddess and got to blog hop a bit today! Have a great week. Vickie #111

Belinda Basson said...

Oh my word! If I could just alter the clock on my desk into a new car for the family, that would be just fab, but alas, my altering skills do not reach that far! How I wish they did! LOL! For now it will just have to be happy with pretty or grunge...I have not yet decided which!

Crafting Alison said...

Oh my.. I did my blog then fogot to link it here... sorry

Brenda B said...

That most definitely looks like a busy day, or possibly just an excuse for one??!!! I'm sad about Archiver's, they made JoAnns and Michaels pick their socks up I can tell you. The big box stores started selling more and better brands than they used to carry, and "new" things like ink sprays and Spectrum Noir pens. Our fellow wowwyer April (no22 this week), works at an Archiver's in Kentucky and is loosing her job at the end of Feb.

Hugs
Brenda

Neet said...

Thanks for the good wishes Julia, I am hoping I manage ok on the long flight home. Can only get in one pair of trousers so will look as if I am arriving to a warm climate when I land at Manchester. Oh heck, what's it matter, will wear my sunglasses and hide behind them.
Hugs & Thanks for visiting me earlier, sorry I am so late - Neet 50

HeARTworks said...

Congratulations about being in the goddess business but I think I'd top you any day for being the Mess Goddess! :^) patsy

April said...

Hi Julia - I just read your post on my site. You asked about a clock or a lazy susan - I think you might have seen my giant roll or double sided foam tape. I use it a great deal so I buy it in bulk. :-)

Forgot to add my comments, sorry. Back again after two operations and some dialysis already. Glad to be back and Happy WOYWW! Karen 77 x
