What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 145

Sorry about the early lack of Mr Linky....I do not know enough to explain it...nor do I know why Blogger is causing me stress with 'editing' this post....no doubt, this too shall pass!
Well now, since last Wednesday there hasn't been a huge amount going on at my desk.  It's fair to say that I've used it - to write envelopes to send badges in, and to get ready for various things..but no real crafting.  Hmm, this needs to be rectified.  Particularly as it's Mother's Day (OK, Mothering Sunday) this weekend here in dear old Blighty. Luckily, I need to make two cards.
You can see the Union Jack hanging at back - it reads 'Happy, Happy Days' and is just lovely, huh.  The ream of printer paper is just that and NOT where I asked it to be put.  The clear box and side stacked lid is the detritus of a workshop - stuff waiting to be decanted back into drawers and to be cleaned.  Yawn.  There's a roll of sticky labels which I've been writing addresses on.  If you're a WOYWWer and want a badge, email me:
juliadunnit@me.com   There's no charge, but I need your address!  And patience!


A ray of hope and interest lies on my desk.  The green book is what I'm working on in the Altered Book online class that Elizabeth is teaching.  I've actually done the reinforcement and end pages.  I know - I'm almost up to date.  Sadly, with that only.  I feel horridly behind with everything this week. So,  I'm having a 'meet a stranger off the internet' day out today. Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, huh!
Come on then, join us if you dare.  And frankly, if you've seen mine, why wouldn't you?  Upload a pic of your desk at your blog and then come back here and link us to it.  We'll visit, slowly and not in huge numbers, but between us, we've become all-seeing! Please put WOYWW in your blog post title and try to link to the specific post.  Ta.8no bar handles ref 106.43.601

  25. Those bits and bobs left over from a class or workshop are such a tedious job to put back in their respective places. i tend to stack themup till I have a largish basket full to the brim and then I do it! Or at least that is the paln. I have a big jumble of sorting on my picture today but just off to the right is the basket I just mentiond...I think that is about 2or 3 hours work to sort...Uggggg. That is why we leave them to stack up...right???
    No linky but I am waiting patiently...I didn't lose any weight last Friday but maybe the absent Mr Linky will help boost the exercise level and weigh in tomorrow will reflect it...See, I'll just call you my personal trainer!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Anyway, I woz 'ere... shall come back when my linky is out playing... book is interesting ... you are doing ok - don't stress

  28. Lovely busy desk there, Julia! I thought it was just me, missing Mr. Linky this week (I've been having endless problems with Beastly Blogger) but it seems I'm not alone. Sorry I didn't make it last week.

The tissue wrap is awesome too...might just have to figure out a project for that as well ;)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I know what you mean about the tedious job of trying to find a home for everything. Lately i have been trying to figure out why i put anything away i cant seem to find it when i do and im probably just going to use it again soon.
    Hope you have a beautiful Mothering Sunday.

  38. So much going on Julia--as usual! No wonder you sometimes feel behind. Glad you got a start on your altered book. I'm more or less just reinforcing, etc. as I go...here's hoping it doesn't crumble around me at the end! Have a great week. xx

  58. Morning Julia, oh dear, your post does read as though you would almost rather be anywhere than at your desk today and I certainly empathise with you on stuff waiting to be put into drawers, etc., I've just spent almost the entire week doing just that but in my new bigger craft room - you are invited to come along and see the result :) I do hope you enjoy your date with a stranger and come back refreshed and raring to go. In the meantime, no Mr Linky so here is a link to my desk:

  63. lol, and there was me, body clock waking me at 12.30 am to link - and no link! your desk is certainly piled high - hope you can get some crafting done soon (somewhere, after you've pushed back presumably...) I've done my niche but not the cover prep on my book - so between us, we're done!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yay, Mr Linky is back. Sorry Blogger is stressing you out Julia but all's well now and you can relax and enjoy your day. I haven't done the reinforcing bit yet, just glued my niche pages together and done the pretty bit at the front, the reinforcing is next on the list.

  65. OMG! I got a Mr. Linky thing but couldn't get here to post until just now. Blogger has made some more changes this week and as usual is messing up everything in the process for awhile. Gotta say I do like the easier way of posting a picture. I received the button Tuesday in the mail! Thank you for sending it to me. Vickie #4/or whatever!

  66. hmmm 65 comments on your post and only 11 links including mine...are they voyeurs lol.

  73. Morning Miss! Sorry I haven't been here for a week or three! But I do have a tidier desk this week so does that make up for it at all?

    If it makes you feel any better, you are further on your altered book than I am!!

    Careful with your "stranger" and look for a white bag on the head with two eye holes!! Just sayin'!

    Have fun and tell the lovely Jan I am waiting for her call as to where and when we are meeting!!

  74. Oh my with my DR appt when you get up (way ahead of me and fix Mr. Linky) then you may even get your 2 cards made and I I will be jealous. I will include my post bc eveyone else will but I am sure we will have to come back and add it to a fixed mr linky. Have a wonderful wednesday.

  77. Morning!
    Now, i liked the lack of linky first thing, it means the list gets shaken up a bit!!! People that just start at number one and work their way through the desks will lose the will to live before reaching the high numbers, so those people have less views! I start my blog hop at about number 50 and work downwards, so get to see loads of fab desks as well as going back to the 'usual suspects' (!!!!) at the beginning!!
    Oh and I can sense your frustration with your desk this week Julia! Hope the rest of the week is more crafty! Trish xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  86. Hi Julia, I have the same problem, ask someone to take something upstairs into craft room and next thing I know, I go upstairs and they have dumped it right on top of all my craft doh lol. It can become quite stressful being behind, but I'm sure you will catch up. Loving those buttons in the jar and I'm loving the red dotty thingy (not sure if large button?) in the clear boxes at the back. Happy woyww :-) Kezzy xxx

  87. Hey up! I'm baaaack!!lol....so sorry for dropping off the face of the planet for a while, just couldn't seem to find enough hours in the day or energy for that matter to do ALL the things Ineeded!!

    Going to spend all day bloghopping to catch up!!

  88. Just so long as you are well, Julia, and thank you so much for logging me in to the gang. Isn't it always he case that if you ask someone else to put things into your room, it never goes in the right place? anything for me usually ends up on my chair. I arrive with arms full and can't even sit down to recover. bless. I can't really moan as he does so much to help me in all ways. See you soon, and I hope your week improves after the techie problem with Mr Linky. xx Maggie #17

Many thanks also for the comment on my new craft room - you can come and play whenever you like :) Elizabeth #13/32

  101. You see when you have a lie in and let the rush pass, then all the technical glitches are sorted. Mr Linky is now present and correct. Perhaps he was having a lie in and a cuppa too!!
    You look as though you are having a badge frenzy, Julia. We all appreciate your hard work so much.
    Everyone seems to be taking this AB class, must check it out.
    Have fun on your blind date!!
    Happy WOYWW
    Hugs Lisax #80

  105. Have fun making the Mother's Day cards, it's always a task I really love doing. x

  106. Hi Julia, you have been busy with other things, but that is so ok. I have got to send an email so that I can get a badge. I do want one. And I am so loving your blog. I get to see so much wonderful creativity during the week. I keep my note pad by the computer for ideas for future projects. Love it.

    ReplyDelete
  107. YAY - Julia, I've managed to join in today, that in part is because I've not been to bed!!!

    Badge, did you say badge? Pin one on me girlfriend!!!

    I think you probably have my address - but i'll draft you a line.

    Did you per-chance, photograph this in the middle of the night? Nice to have seen your mess - snap. Mines similar.

    Hugs,

  111. Julia - - You keep me inspired to create during the week. Even when I don't sit at my desk it gets me out taking photos. Happy Wednesday!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Julia I missed the memo what's a badge? I'm always late to the party but I'll claim it's because a lot of the party is in a different time zone! Can't wait to see what happens with the book, I've never been able to convince myself to alter a perfectly good book!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Oooo! I can't WAIT to see what you end up doing with your altered book! I'm sure it will be lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  114. Good morning Julia! Nice and busy there. I love the "yawn" - so true! Last night I cleaned up from a disaster and all the accumulating stuff. Once the pile on the corner of the desk falls onto the floor *ahem*, I have to put it away.

    So mysterious about your Internet stranger - do tell!

    I'm waiting for the dog to come back in then I'll take a pic and post. Having the first coffee and trying to wake up...

    Cheers,
    Susan

  115. Morning bird.

    Is that the sign Karalyn got you? I am so jealous I have the perfect spot for it!!

    Desk is looking busy and mid flow

    Looking forward to seeing you tonight

  116. A busy desk as usual, Julia - glad to see that I'm not the only one that has reams of paper dumped. I missed out on WOYWW last week, but was determined to take part today, but time is limited, so visiting others and comments will have to wait till the end of the week. I haven't forgotten that I need to let you have my address to receive a badge - will get round to it one day soon! x

    ReplyDelete
  117. Happy Wednesday!! Looking forward to visiting everyone's workdesk;D

    ReplyDelete
  118. Hi Julia,

    Your post made me laugh. I wondered what the flag said. I do love it's colors.

    I'm not participating today but will stop in on a few desks.

    Hugs,
    Kay

  119. I see the messy desk fairies have been by your place. I hate that when things end up on my desk instead of where they are supposed to be. Why can't they just get up and walk their happy butt over to the correct place? I didn't realize (or maybe I did?) that you were doing the altered book tutorial too.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Happy Wednesday, Julia..Don't feel badly...I have two online classes that I had to print out because I never got to them when they were live..arrrrgh!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Hello!

    I can relate to being late - having just had a "the faster I go the behinder I get" week so far! I am going out for a bit today to enjoy our 78 degree weather and take a much needed break! Wishing you a happy day today!

    Hugs,

  125. Better late than never, that's me. Lots of lovley spaces today.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Lots going on on your desk, crafty or not.

    I think Blogger is becoming a victim of its own success and doesn't seem to be able to cope with all the use it is getting these days...still very frustrating though, especially when you are trying to get something done in a limited amount of time.

  127. I too am following an online class...a quilting sampler, wish I could say I'm caught up....4 blocks behind isn't so bad, is it?

    ReplyDelete
  128. There appears to be a huge interest in altered books again these last few months......hope you enjoy making yours as much as I have mine.

    Meeting a stranger off tinternet sounds a wee bit dodgy. If you're not here next week, we'll all know that it didn't go well!!!!

  129. I am soooo late again. But I made it! I didn't last week which was no good at all. My stupid M.E. dictates when and if I get things done! Your desk is always so full of interesting stuff and I hope your 'meet a stranger off the internet' day out is fun - Let us know how it went - we do like the goss! xx

  133. Oh good - Mr Linky is working again - I came on last night to be early for a change but didn't know what to do - so I'm way back down the list this week again - I had to wait until I got home from work!

  134. Are you sure there's a desk can't see it under all that stuff!

  141. I'm a virgin to this!!! Never shared my messy work space before!! Fun to share and see what others are up to too!!

    ReplyDelete
  142. OK, I asked google and found how to turn that horrid word verification off and I hope I have got it right. I had no idea it was even on as it does not ask the owner of the blog for verification as it knows who you are!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Glad Mr Linky was working as I can't put links in comments!!
    My desk is tidy for the second week in a row!!

    ReplyDelete
  144. Hi Julia, your desk is the messiest I've seen it so far! Good work! :) I love people that can handle a good pile of clutter.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Whooo, I'm so late today! Almost skipped but, thought better of it. Second day of constant rain here so it's a perfect excuse to sit and visit on blogger!
    Not much room on your desk for even writing labels! You must write very small HA!!! Sorry, teehee.
    Have a great week!
    Hugs!

  149. Very mysterious. I remember the first time I met a 'stranger' from the internet, who is now a great friend, my Mum was beside herself! I had to ring her when I got there and again when I left alive!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Like the Union Jack, but shame about the lack of crafting! I'm pretty late linking today, so blog hopping wil have to wait til tomorrow xx

  151. Well the benefit of being late is that Mr Linky is fixed.

    You seem to be even busier than me at the moment, hope it all calms down soon.

    ReplyDelete
  152. why have I got less time now I don't work on Wednesdays? I nearly failed to link and will certainly now be visiting late...

    Tis a strange phenomenon,

    Sadly I have no cards to make for Sunday but we raise two glasses in very fond memory, and I get spoiled which is even better,

    I missed the linky malarky...

  153. Sorry I'm late linking up! It's been a busy day. All linked up now and I'm heading to bed. I shall come back tomorrow to have a hop around the other blogs.

  158. Sorry to be so late linking up now that Mr Linky is back to work...

    I was locked out of my car in an hour stay carpark this morning. Just a tad of stress but a hero came to rescue me and I'm home now...going to have quiet time at my desk.

    Thanks for sorting everything Julia you're another hero :D #178

  161. I'm really sad that I'm so snowed with work that I haven't been able to check out anyone's blog or write mine for over 2 weeks!!

    Your desk looks busy, like always...I hope they are sweets in that jar to the left of the scotch tape gun!!

    Thanks for sharing Julia.

    Hopefully I will get time to do my blog next week!

    ReplyDelete

  163. "You must be logged in to comment with that address" is all I can get when I try to leave a comment on Brenda's blog (#12).
    I must have tried 10 times over the past two days - have logged off and on again to no avail.
    Anyone know what is going on?

  164. Not much crafting by me either! I can't wait to see more of your AB! I havent done one of those in years! Keep meaning to do one for Christmas...every year....

  166. This was my first WOYWW, and I can't believe how much fun I had looking at other peoples crafty desks.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Hi Julia, thank you for you comment on my first entry to WOYWW. I also played badminton last night and am amazed that you and others found this quite unusual - LOL! Just wondering what the format here it, if someone comments on your entry ought you to reply to them on their blog too. Should we try to visit ALL the entries - can't believe there are hundreds...........Thanks BJ

    ReplyDelete
  168. Lol lol at your comment on my blog, Julia!!! Have I got the balls for this project?? I think so!! I've unravelled all the first dress now, and washed the wool, and am ready to start knitting. I've just uploaded another blog post with progress and pictures. I'm so thrilled with the colours...

    Not feeling too bad at the moment, but have to be careful! There are so many things I WANT to do but pacing myself does mean it all takes time!

    Hope you've had a great weekend.
