This is spectacular, huh! This is what happens when you have a the same deadline for two different things that each require quite a lot of work - and naturally, your
mojo up and leaves you. In a huff. Me, in a huff. The
mojo will be when it gets back, oh yeah. I did cheat a bit..I emptied the little bin before I took the pic..just so you could see all the rubbish going on around it! See back left a pile of wooden letters. The S broke, but they spell '
Bol***ks' - there is a story (I linked to it but it didn't work..if you wanna read - go to the December 2009 archive..!) I was going to get around to
erm 'altering' them, but so far of course, not done. The mess here is entirely due to my decision to make up a bunch of hanging, folksy hearts for sale at a fete - using only my scraps. It causes stress and more scraps, as you can see!
So keeping your written word brief would be a help, but either way - show off your desk - we want to see what you're using, what you're currently making and what you've got that we haven't! Upload a pic to your blog and then link here courtesy of fab Mr
Linky...and then please be patient and forgiving.....not everyone will make it to every desk....I mean, it's gotta be random really, huh?

I really hope your mojo comes back really soon.

ROFLMHO!!! Looks busy!! Can't wait to see what you do next lol! xx
ReplyDeleteLove those hearts. Good luck with the mojo, it always chooses the worst times to leave!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I can't make things to sell, I end up a nervous wreck, I'd like to see what the hearts look like when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to read about the 'b***ocks' letters but the post could not be displayed, now I'm even more intrigued!
A lovely jar of buttons and the wooden letters look good. Lots to nosey through on your desk today.
ReplyDeleteElaine
Wow, such a lot going on Julia, hope you get your mojo back very soon! x
ReplyDeleteVery creative desk Julia and I love those wooden letters, I have a think for letters LOL. Your hearts are yummy, oh I collect hearts too so I have a thing for them too. Hope the mojo comes back soon. Have a good day, Tracy Evans x
ReplyDeleteOh those hearts look so cute. what a great idea, to use up scraps for something useful and for a worthwhile cause. I am amazed that you have to work to make your desk look more untidy by emptying boxes LOL! Like Marmite, WOYWW seems to be a Love It (the Mess) or Hate it (neat freak) sort of divide :)
ReplyDeleteMary Anne
love the look of those hearts Julia and LOL at you altering some b******s!!!! That's a classic and will have me giggling for the rest of the day which is pretty much just what I need
ReplyDeleteLove

I bet if you started attempting to clean your desk that the mojo would come back in the form of positive procrastination. Thanks for your lovely comment on my desk last week.
ReplyDeleteI left a comment, but didn't stay long enough to see if it was posted. I'm a dufus. Those hearts are gorgeous. As for your desk? Well, you know me. I'm a neat freak!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that pile of green on the left? Yep, I am a snoop. And I'm trying to be brief, too!
Despite the missing mojo, these hearts that you have made are superb.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
I am so glad I am not the only one juggling with orders... why is it when you just "play" your mojo flows.. then when you have to do some artiness .. bang, weeks later, you are no further than you forst started!
ReplyDeleteYes, me too. not fair is it .. sending you my mojo, maybe with two going on, you might just get somewhere! , lol as for me ... I will keep plodding!
Am sure your mojo is not too far...loving those hearts, they are gorgeous!

ReplyDeletexx

ReplyDeleteThe hearts look gorgeous Julia - and I love how we end up having a two inch piece of desk to work on, lol....x

ReplyDeleteCome back MOJO all is forgiven!!! Mine has gone awol today as well hun, hope it comes back soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your hearts, they are so lovely!
Enjoy your day hun, big hugs Heidi xx
If this is the result with no mojo ie the hearts-then the rest of us had better give up. Will now root about and find my Hero Arts "simple life" stamp as I love what you have done with it.Hugs BettyXXX
ReplyDeleteIf you do find your mojo .... bottle it! You could make your fortune :) Wow...the post wasnt up, went for a shower then 15 mins later nearly 40 visits. One popular blog Julia.....congrats!
ReplyDeleteChaotic workspace ....like it! Makes me feel better lol!
Hi Julia , I love your hearts great shape, sorry for not joining in the past few weeks , I've had bronchitis and finally took everyone's advice and went to see the doctor 2wks ago when it got really bad, now the medicine is almost all gone and so is my cough, so have not blogged as much as normal but I'm just getting back into things and catching up as soon as I've caught up with my challenge blogs etc I'll be back to join in WOYWW and all the fun
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Hugs Susie xx
oh dear brief? I dont do brief LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks industrious to me.
ReplyDeleteLuv Joanne x
Hope you find your mojo soon although if it is anything like mine then it will turn up when you least need it
ReplyDeleteFab desk hun... hey, I thought I would be an early bird today and there are 40 odd already... now that is dedication to noseying, I mean, playing ROFL x
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of altered b*****ks, you might start a trend. I could do my ex's LOL
ReplyDeleteAn other beautiful creation day for you like i see ! Your hearts seems so nice :-) I hope to see your S altered as soon ;-) Have a nice day Julia, Sincerely, ISA
ReplyDeletehi sweetie oh the bolllllllll wanted to read more he he love your cretive desk hun love the hearts on your desk too ,hugs cheryl xxxxx
ReplyDeleteJulia i may be a mess but it is a lovely crafty mess! I'm pretty sure your mojo will be back very soon :)
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants when I read that Wendy would not be disappointed in your blog post, but I might find it a bit shocking. The stamp and dress are elements for a swap on my Yahoo group. We are celebrating our 7th anniversary, I chose to make a party invitation. The date of the party is July 1. Thanks for asking. I was trying to be brief for once (grin).
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia! Just chuckling here - I love the thought that using your scraps makes more scraps - know the feeling!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, happy Wednesday ;-) The hearts are beautiful :-) Are you still feeling stressed? Right, close your eyes, relax your shoulders, breathe in through the nose, nice deep breath, and blow slowly out through the mouth. Do this several times and if the stress doesn't ease up get yourself a G+T or a nice glass of wine hehe
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
oh noo stress is never good, it makes mojo run away and hide. Eat cake and relax. I so want to see those letters done hahaha
ReplyDeleteIn a rush today, visits will have to wait until tomorrow morning. Like the folksy hearts, I'd buy one!
ReplyDelete** Kate **
ARGH!!! Stress!! Hope you get it sorted, well I know you will. I've forgotten to take my photo before work this morning, so mine will be late today. Sorry, Miss.
ReplyDeleteI hope the pesky Mojo gets back soon sweetie, meanwhile those hearts look gorgeous, I love 'em Oooh and your button jar looks very interesting too (yes, mine are all colour coded and stored in separate compartments in a box, how d'ya guess LOL!)Sorry, about the post Julia, but this IS brief for me!
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia! Lovely busy desk this week! Love the Hearts - can't wait to see what you create! have a good week. S xxx
ReplyDeleteHope your mojo returns soon, Julia - your hearts are beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your jar of buttons, I'd like to have a poke around in that!
stress and mojo are not friends...give yourself an hour off...and eat as much chocolate as you can stomach...that usually does it for me! lol
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts. Hope your mojo returns soon.
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Now that's a fab desk....just how a desk should look. You do know that you are now under extreme pressure to actually finish the B word, every WOYWWer wants to see it!!!
ReplyDeleteLin
Wow Julia! That is a very spectacularly busy and creative looking desk.
ReplyDeleteMine looked a bit like that at the w/e, but I had to clear it because I couldn't find room to fit even the 5"x4" page I was working on into ooops!
I hope you'll be sharing the finished projects soon as it all looks very intriguing.
Hope your mojo returns soon. A nice cup of tea and a big slice of cake. Very busy desk. Kathleen x
ReplyDeleteJust popped by to say I'm having to give WOYWW a miss this week ...as are Jay and probably Vicki. We are all suffering from a little brain melt down due to family things going on ... although Vicki seems to have her Mojo still.I did manage over 100 desks last week before I admitted defeat ...and that was over 3 days.
ReplyDeleteI love projects that use scraps but I too seem to create more somehow ...will hopefully be back next week .... with something to show xx
LOL - just found this and it seems like fun - as my desk was covered in soggy toilet paper it seemed like a good way to make an entrance!
ReplyDeleteThe hearts are looking good, mojo must fine again :0)
ReplyDeleteManaged to join in this week yey :0)
Kate x
wow that is creative heaven, mine does look like that during honest
ReplyDeletetake care
Kate x
FAB ♥'s hunni. Love the little stilletto pincushion.xx

ReplyDeleteHeARTworks

Honestly I go out shopping for a couple of hours and come back to find 75 people have already posted their desks! This blog is going to be BIG!

ReplyDeleteLovely arty creative clutter, it's fab!
ReplyDeleteNicki, x
Loving the minute workspace in the middle!!! The hearts are lovely.
ReplyDeleteJulie :o)
mojo will be back lol xxxx as for wording ha ha I would love to see how people would react if we had a week of expletives as the criteria. Even on a good day i could think of some, me a mother of four and teacher to many pmsl xxxx. Love the zesty colours you are using,,,I am rather partial to all shades of green x
ReplyDeleteLol at the letters! I like the little bin idea, mine is a tesco carrier bag on the floor, but I would like a little bin instead I think!
ReplyDeleteDid my desk, sort of, finally :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like great work in progress. Love the hearts on your desk.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Suzi x
I need a little bin like yours for my recyclable rubbish. I have a supermarket bag for the other junk.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I've shown my desk to all and sundry and it was pretty tidy for me so I thought I'd join in the fun.
Love your hearts. What a fabulous green!
Lesley Xx
11:05 am, ca time!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy meeting my new friend!
now I had decided I wanted the flowers and the filmstrip dies, but had forgotten about the bird cage which I also want now, now how to sneak into house without OH asking how I paid for them, MMM.
ReplyDeleteOooh I have been stalking this and a few other blogs for about a month now and have just gotten around to joining in the fun!
ReplyDeleteMmm Missing Mojo. It may be off on the Spa trip that mine is on. It will come back refreshed and happy.
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks great, WOrked in is the phrase that comes to mind.
I have managed to get my desk on this week, Kids and broken cameras have been pushed to the background!!! Hope you have a wonderful week, Hazelxo
Hi, thanks for sharing this fab idea. Such a great way to see other blogs too. take care xx Rachael
ReplyDeleteI think my mojo made have made off with yours! I do envy you having a view from your desk, I stare at the wall seeking inspiration!
ReplyDeleteChrissie
oh my goodness I'm sooo late!! I just love your desk this week, little jars of buttons and those hearts, love those. Every time I see something lovely I think, why don't I do that... I've decided there has to be another day either before Wednesday or after it...then maybe I'd have more time! (I've just said that bit out loud...and hubby's given me a plant...a herb...yep...thyme! bless him!
ReplyDeleteHave a crafty week...

Hi Julia
ReplyDeleteThe stamps are for my anniversary at the end of the month DH was not in when the postie arrived lol. I tend to stamp one to use and one for the box, that way if I make an error i have one already dry! I just occasssionally need to check what I have stamped before stamping more up lol x
Lots going on this week. Love the hearts. Hope your Mojo returns soon. Sorry didn't get to join in last week.
ReplyDeletethanks for coming by and thanks for creating WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeletePopping in to say hi and posting late as usual (it sure seems that way as of late)! Ah, work in progress - wish I was there playing instead of here cleaning! Hope you are having a good week - ttys!

I was wondering where you'd been all week! Glad to see you're still here :) I was busy playing in paint today at my house, so didn't have time for WOYWW this week, but will likely be visiting others :)
ReplyDeletep.s. It took me a few to figure out what Bol***ks meant (stupid American...) and it made me giggle. Much more interesting than our expletives! lol
ReplyDeleteLoving your creativity, Julia - and so love the idea of your wooden letters!!! Juliexx
ReplyDeleteLove those letters and what they spell, classic !!! thanks for such a lovely post again Julia, hope your mojo returns soonish xx
ReplyDeleteHello Julia!!! Its taking me ages to go round everyone's blog this week theres loads to see! My one stand alone purple storage box is really part of a set thats further up on the shelf above you can't see on the Pic! And the rooms lilac so thought they would go. Till next week! Terra!

ReplyDeletei'm late and i doubt i'll get round everyone, but its good to be back xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late! Gonna go check out the other spaces!
ReplyDeleteOMG what a lot of comments, love the little green hearts, and will you please stop showing the button jar of bounty? It's giving me a little green heart of envy.x
ReplyDeleteFinding this a bit frustrating this week as people seem to be just linking willy nilly to their blogs and not woyww posts.
