What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 140


Another grainy shot from my phone.  Because it's rather too early to fiddle about with the card reader section of the PC which for some reason won't work right now.  OH well, you're used to rubbish pictures.  Now, the section of my desk that you can see shows that I have actually been making some cards.  Oh yeah.  Can't say 'I'm back' particularly, but at least I'm doing something!  Loads of rolls of glue dots at back...funny how favourites come around and go around. The button jar is being used illegaly to store a glue pen...or more correctly, a tube of PVA glue that is impossible to squeeze glue out of unless it's right in the tip.  And for a change, I can honestly say that the presence of the stapler has nothing to do with me.  When I left the house for a fun night with The Coven, it wasn't there.  So I can safely surmise that Mr D or Miss D has done something paper related this evening.  I'm posting at a ridiculous time today, to see if it helps or hinders you..please let me know!  
So, share your space..desk, floor, tray, arm of chair, kitchen worktop..wherever and whatever you are creating, we like to see.  Use WOYWW in your post title so we can find it easily, and link your post here....we'll visit if we can.  But you have to visit too...reciprocal nosiness is very much a part of this thing!

  2. Hi Julia - number 2, I can't believe I've manage that??? Is it only May and I who are still up at this silly o'clock? And, bonus, you've posted early too ... working out fine for me this week but who knows what will happen next week - I might actually be in bed :) Anyway, good to see that you are crafting again and that the evidence is there for us all to see. That's it - I'm off to make a cuppa before I try to get some sleep. Happy WOYWW to you. Elizabeth x #2

  3. Cant believe it ... I'm even nearer the top this week...3 ...I LOVE that you post at night as I'm not a very early riser and by 9am I am usually over the 50 mark.
    You desk looks so busy ....I think it looks like a very productive crafter lives in that room.
    I'm off to bed now XX

  5. Always interesting. Hope you are feeling better, and I totally get the stapler situation. I came home to find my printer with all red lights flashing, and a piece of lined notebook paper jammed up in it. Apparently someone tried to print something...

    Have a great woyww. Me? I prefer the early morning time to midnight.

  6. I swear Blogger has it in for me!!!! Yet AGAIN it's tried to send everyone the wrong place!!! Wey Hey so you're back.....sort of, you know what get some Flitter, it'll bring you back big style!!! Serious Playtime!!
    now why is it that kids, grown and small, always assume that a crafting desk is a dumping ground? AND if you left their stuff lying around all over Their space, they would get huffy,( erm can you tell that thats been going on at mine?) and expect you to put it right....cheeky!! is what I call it, tidying up is what THEY call it!

    Happy WOYWW hun, and I have been waiting since 11pm!!! LMAO, xx

  9. Aha... we will get our detective hats on and surmise that perhaps Mr D has been making you an amazing Valentine's card... LOL... perhaps not eh? Actually, the desk doesn't look too bad from this angle... you actually have space on the mat to do something!!

  10. Well I'm posting this on Tuesday as I may not be able to tomorrow:)

  11. Love what's on your desk this week! It like the card I can see in the right upper corner.

    This time is great for me as I always have so much going on in the mornings. This gives me a head start in viewing blogs and proved to work as of last week I was able to visit about 130 blogs.

  13. The posting early works great for me, because its right after dinner here!

    That is very funny about the stapler, I think AJ would be afraid to touch something on my desk! I love the card you have up in the corner, and I think I spy some glossy accent there too!

    Happy WOYWW!!

  14. I think it's a great 'what you see is what you get snap' and after my computer crashing 5 times during my WOYWW post - I'm glad to see any resemblance of a crafty zone!Hubby only comes near my desk if he wants his trousers mending...!

  15. Just linked up for the first time, thanks for hosting!

    ReplyDelete
  16. love that you are posting so early, it is perfect for us over the other side of the pond! very odd about the mysterious movements of the stapler, perhaps someone has made you a Valentines card while you were absent!
    Happy WOYWW, Debxx #22

  17. Hi Julia, That looks like a proper desk. Almost any sort of glue needs storing upside down, I reckon. Nobody touches my desk mess, but if they did, it would only be for the scissors. Your early posts work great for those of us on the other side of the planet, hehe!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well, I love the earlier time, so I must learn to post in the late afternoon.

    I haven't used glue dots in ages. I must get mine out and use them before they melt. I like the "illegal" use of the button jar (grin).

    ReplyDelete
  19. Happy WOYWW to you! I am a glue dot junkie - I like the tiny ones because I find them the most versatile! Of course, I always have to be careful that neither I or the cats end up sporting those dots in our hair!!!

  23. Oooh! I think I have that same hole punch. :) I still have to try those glue dot things. I have heard nothing but good reviews. Happy WOYWW!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I loe your desk shot today Julia - wish I could see what the upside down stamp was, will you not learn to leave them right way up for us!!! The card looks fab, btw. Hope you had a good night out.
    If you post at 1am I will have to get used to a place lower down the list as there is no way I can stay up that late to catch you, lol. Back to bed for my early morning cuppa before getting up all too soon, now!

  25. First time here Julia, thanks for visiting on my blog too. Looks like lots of fun stuff to work with on that desk.

  26. Lots of fun things on your desk today. Looks like it's been used. Looks like your card has HERO on it. Find out tomorrow where my son will be deployed to next. Keep your fingers crossed for a great place.
    Enjoy the week and hoping you receive a BIG HEART before next WOYWW.

  30. Love the illegal glue pen - wondering if there's a craft Police who would arrest you for misplacement of an adhesive!?! Happy Wednesday!

  31. Rediculously early works for me! LOL! Heck, whenever you show up, the party will happen! We are just happy to see you (esp. on Wednesday!) have a great Day! -Amanda 38

  32. Oh well, if you start to post at midnight I'll never be high on the list! Still if that's what you want to do... so welcome back. Remember to take it easy and don't scare mr mojo away again. Your desk is looking productive and fun.

  33. Hi Julia
    busy desk as always,not used me glue dots in ages, never got on with them, who has been playing in your craftroom while you were out, gave them selves away leaving the stapler.
    Don't mind what time you post i just post when im up, more in the 50s now its early but hey ho.
    Have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x

  34. I think your photo is very atmospheric and 'arty'. Don't forget to let us know whose been playing on your desk while you were out 'gallavanting' as my mother would say.

  35. Yay! It is letting me leave a comment this week. Some weeks it is a guess and by golly whether it has a mind of its own or I am just screwing up something! I came home tonight to find stuff out of place on my desk too! It looked like the cats had jumped up to investigate all the colorful bits on the desk! Hope you have a great week! Vickie #51

  36. A desk well shared and used is yours. So you did post this at some ungodly hour lol

  37. JUlia, I cannot believe that you are still up at past midnight posting! LOL...desk looks very well loved this week.. and it is always odd when things get put back or "misplaced" on one's desk!!
    Have a good day

  38. I do like the earlier time you post. Isn't it amazing that we know when something has been moved on placed on our desk.

    ReplyDelete
  39. An impressive desk as always Julia, you are always so industrious!
    I noticed the stapler sitting at the front of your desk but through by bleary eyes (no glasses on yet) it looked like a toy bus. Obviously now you mention it I can see it’s not but wonder for a split second what you were doing playing with boys toys. Lol.
    Best find those glasses quickly me thinks.

    Happy Crafting!

  41. Oh Julia...I think I spy a valentines card...maybe for your Hero...Mr D???
    I like that little easel to prop it up...I am always losing things on my desk...
    Looks like you have been busy creating...
    It's my second week and I'm already addicted! Love that you organize this!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. At least the stapler was there (I assume it is yours?). When other people craft in my house it usually means I will spend a week going around their bedrooms retrieving various bits and pieces. Especially scissors, which is why I have so many pairs. You probably had all your congrats already but I have been away - was pleased to see you featured in Craft Stamper magazine but wonder how big this is gonna get - 7.30am and I look set to be n0 58 or so..... you've created a monster LOL. Go Julia!!

  43. Boo I could have posted last night if I have re-looked after catching your url for my link... anyway, whatever just keep on posting... SO glad your mojo has come home and has given you such a busy desk

  44. Thats what I call a busy desk Julia [or do I mean messy?]. No finished cards in sight though so I guess you could have just messed it up for us :-)

  46. Oooh lovely busy desk there and I spy a distress stain there too! such fun!

Hope you are well and have a fab week.

  48. ooh Mrs D shaking it up with a variation in publication times, get you,

  67. Nice to see you have been busy making cards. Lots of goodies on show there. x

  68. My desk resembles yours this week and I'm pleased that I'm not the only 'untidy' worker :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. It is amazing how things appear and disappear from our desks isn't it! :D I was trying to make out what your card is stood on, a bookrest maybe?

    I agree as well that woyww is all about the reciprocal nosiness.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hi, another great WOYWW of organised chaos. I'm not sure if it's brads or buttons on show but they look lovely. Have a super day, Laura

  76. Hi Julia - oh I do love to see a creative mess :)

    Re. your SD card reader problem. If the reader seems to have given up the ghost, never fear. You can buy a little gizmo like a USB stick, it goes into a USB port but has a slot in the side for you to stick your SD card in. I know this 'cos my SD card reader spring mechanism became unreliable (over use from blogging!) and it was a life saver. Having said that, I just used it earlier and have now lost the flipping lid somewhere on my desk!! Di xx

  77. Just found you after reading the Craft Stamper mag. Great idea for a cheer up middle of the week. Glad your desk is busy. xxx

  78. Hi Julia, glad to see some sort of playing has been occurring on your desk, I mess without the play first is like a cocktail without the alcohol.. it taste ok but where's the fun in it!

  79. I'm back, taking it slow, a bit at a time. Nice to see so many new faces, I won't be visiting everyone, but I'll do as many as I can. Have fun everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I like the idea of Ickle Craftlings coming to place random items in the way of your photos, a ladder, a stapler, what will it be next week? I don't thing it matters what time you post, I am just grateful to be able to join in at some point. Glad your mojo is returning, its good to see you at play xx (why so few comments for so many links? Naughty people ;-))

  85. Looks like you have a fun pile of stuff on your desk. Congrats to being back -- I'm in a card making mode also (as well as being distracted by other projects that take my fancy - LOL).

    ReplyDelete
  86. I feel like a real stop in bed posting at lunchtime when everyone has stopped up especially. Call me daft but I love my sleep too much especially in this chilly weather!!! Anyway, we had a power cut last night just after midnight. One minute I was engrossed in my book, the next plunged into darkness so I'd have been in the middle of linking if I'd stayed up!!!
    I thought you were bathed in glorious sunshine when I first investigated your desk Julia, but I'm guessing it's a light. The glue dots companies must love you, I've never seen so many roles on one desk.
    Happy WOYWW

  93. Lol! at the button jar having an illegal immigrant! Can't believe I'm #121 and it's not that late in the day ... WOYWW is so popular - you do a great job, Julia - you have enthused so many crafters to share, which in turn means that we all get inspiration from one another - thank you x

    ReplyDelete
  94. I don't think your photo looks grainy at all, but maybe I'm a bit bleary eyed still this morning :) I always find things moved around on my desk too, usually from my oldest, but sometimes from the husband....

    ReplyDelete
  95. Hey, you're a crafter, not a photographer, so we could say that just posting a photo is huge!

  106. Seeing as how I was supposed to be somewhere "10-ish" and it is currently "10-ish," this has to be quick. Love the glue pen in the button jar... we crafters can easily find a spot that suits our needs! *smile*

    ReplyDelete
  107. Too funny! Everyone is posting how early they are..I post 2 day's ahead of usual, and I'm close to the same spot! I must have free borders; an immigrant glue pen would never even be noticed! Your desk is looking so tidy this week-I'd love to see the cards close up. Have a great weekend.

  117. I would like to think that the stapler just went snap snap snap and jumped onto your desk to be the feature of the pic this week. It's obv he's suffering from lack of attention syndrome, and maybe he needs refilling. Just give him some love this week OK...

  121. Gosh Julia, it seems you weren't the only one to get an early start!!
    Your desk does look very busy this week. Looks like the crop-a-dile even got a bit of a workout. Love the button doo dads. Thanks for letting us share what we do.

  124. Hello, I'm from the Button Jar Police and I'm here to cite you for your infraction of co-mingling glue with buttons. You'll have to appear before the magistrate and there is bound to be fine, possibly jail time....

  126. Hello Mrs D.

    It's so nice to be back with you this week. I've been absent with so many distractions and a lack of focus to boot!

    I seriously must have attempted to write about 3 or 4 blog posts to join in over the last few months (I know its not a lot) and each time I start, things just happen with me which stops me in my tracks! I've even had my post this week on the go since last week!

    I trust you are well and still staging this wonderful phenomenon each week. What a committment. ou rock!!!

    loads of hugs

  131. OMG! Maybe the traveling Gnome has come by early for Valentine's Day? I have noticed that 6 of my garden Gnomes have disappeared and I have two just wondering about the ivy and roses. It seems that every week, I have a new Gnome to come visit and one has traveled onward?
    What a fabulous messy desk! I just love it! It's creativity at it's finest! Hugs to you all for the wonderful inpsiration!!

    ReplyDelete
  132. Well I said the desks were multiplying and they really are! I don't mind what time you post Julia. I'm always way down the list!!

  135. This is such a fun and popular weekly event. It's not even noon here in California and I'm number 171! Super to meet so many other people. Julia, I'm sorry, but I hit "tab" after my name and the site jumped and entered me at the bottom of WYOWW 139. I don't know how to delete it, so I left it there and just relinked again for today's 140. I guess it's sort of okay since my post is a continuation of last week's, but I'm sorry if it messes anything up. Thanks always for hosting this!

  136. looking forward to seeing what everyone is up to this week!

  147. Evening Julia, haven't managed to visit many desks today, which is a bit of a shame after 3 weeks of 150+ oh well hopefully Wednesday won't come around again so quickly (where does the rest of the week go?) and i might get chance to visit everyone. Thank you for the fab advice on the glimmer mists i have no idea what to do with them so was going to look on utube for some tutorials so i will try your technique, and see what backgrounds i can make Hope you have a great week. Lou xx

  151. Hi again Julia,
    Those water soluble oil pastels (Reeves brand) cost less than $14 (AUST). So, VERY reasonable, and they are good enough for me, at this time. (I know those Caran d'Ache ones are exhorbitantly expensive!) I'm very pleased with the way these work. And there are quite a few interesting projects in "Art to Wear"!

    ReplyDelete
  152. The hero card looks very interesting and the buttons in the foreground and oh, most everything else! Patsy

  153. Maybe Mr. D was stapling the curtains shut so you wouldn't notice the ladder ;)

  157. Well, it is obvious I missed the early call but where the heck I was at the time I have no idea. Number 195 - that is shameful for me.
    Lovely industrious desk Julia, as who it is that has been at it.
    Might be able to find mine some time next week (but bet it is not tidy as I will have to craft somewhere else)
    Hugs, Neet xx
