| That shiny spot of spilt glue.....saving that for a day when I need to pick at something.....! |
Now gentle Desker, make the most of this sight. It is the sight of my desk at rest. It is the sight of as close as I get to it being tidy. Acceptable, at least. It's the sight that actually says 'closed'. For I am away, in sunnier places, and haven't yet thought to photograph the labour intensive work desks of my holiday destination. You know how it is - you're so busy visitng, passing the milk for coffees, the butter for late morning breakfast and watching the world go by that frankly, even taking a photo of the lap upon which your smash book sits seems too much effort. Jealous yet? Don't be...I am enjoying it all on your behalf. And just think - you can share most of it with me via bad photography when I get home! Joy of joys!
Meanwhile, play amongst yourselves will ya - I will log in and visit as much as I can, but whipping out the iPad at every WifFi enabled cafe is a tad anti social when you're in a party of six!
enjoy your time away and come visiting when you return.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the WOYWW link on your new page!

Have a great vacation. Love the your blog's new look. Happy crafting #4
ReplyDeleteI am living vicariously through you Julia...because I was just dreaming of a sunnier, warmer place to be! Have a wonderful time...and thank you for magically managing to still host this fab blog party! Sandy Leigh #5
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday Julia, you deserve it and blow that anti social thing in cafe, the world is expecting the iPad people to use the wi fi to there advantage otherwise they wouldn't supply it, so relax, play on the net and have some fun. Talk at night to your friends over dinner. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh love the clean desk it shows it is missing you heaps.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda
Enjoy your relaxation time and let the interwebs go on without you for a few days. Sounds like you are going to have some wonderful meals with 6 all talking at once!! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, lucky you, have fun and plenty of relaxation! Sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteDebxx
Enjoy your time away, you've earned it. Looking forward to hearing all about your fun time away. I'm sure we will all keep busy while you are away. I might just clean my craft room, after all, your desk looks so good, maybe I should try to tidy up. Note: I said maybe and try! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Enjoy the coffee, sweets and the peeps! We'll carry on on your behalf. :) nan #14

Well I know it was not your intent, but I am terribly jealous. I have not had a vacation all year long! So I guess I will enjoy it vicariously through you when you share those awesome pictures when you get back. Have a lovely time. April #16
ReplyDeleteoh how lovely. Have a fun filled time with too much to eat and drink. The words of an old song keep running through my head. " but it's 6 in a bed on the old Pear head"...could be fun

That would be right, here I was languishing in pain with a pulled back muscle and here you are lounging around on holidays, sooo not fair. No, I'm not jealous, not jealous at all (hmph). Have a wonderful time and I hope to see lots of tacky photos. Like your new blog colours too!!

Enjoy your holiday lovely, well deserved and make sure you lap up that sun and warmth and perhaps bring some home?! Loving the desk shot and drying glue patch! Take care Zo xx 73
ReplyDeleteBy gum lass, I nearly fell off my chair. Is that really your desk or have you got a new picture programme on your computer which allows you to crop the mess??? LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time Julia. I was away last week at a local Vineyard celebrating with hubby our anniversary. It was just what I needed. Peace, quiet, and wine! I see your blog had a transformation when I was away, looks good! Love the colors. I know your desk will be happy to see you again when you return! Winnie#76

ReplyDeleteOn your jollies again, Julia. Lovely clear desk to come back to, apart, that is, from that blob of glue :) And you've had a makeover, well, your blog has ... nice, I like the greens and blues. And your crocheted blanket is a triumph - love the colours. Do have a super holiday, recharge your batteries and come back refreshed and raring to go :)) Elizabeth x #41
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks like it has a B I G telephone on the card on the Ipad stand...just in case you need to wake the cat?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy..time away is always fun and makes one appreciate home once again.Travel safe.
Have a good time, love the new look blog x
ReplyDeleteMy gosh Julie, I've been away for so long I've got so many blogs to read and catch up on. I must admit I had a little sneak peak of your blog last week and was pleased to see the lovely view from your studio room.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I will be able to become a regular contributor once again. Thanks for hosting this fabulous blog and all the other crafters/artists listed here.
Thank goodness I'm on holidays so that I can have a look at as many of these blogs as I can.
You could say that your desk is also enjoying a little holiday.... from you! Is that a football at the end of the table!?? Enjoy the sun, sad to think Winter is on the bloody way!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Brenda
Have a great time! I am sure you will- you've got such a grand sense of humor! Downton isn't so slow now is it? So many are angry at the trun of events!!!!! patsy

Congrats, your desk looks workable today. Mine looks like yours does a lot of days, but I know where everything is, at least most of the time. Edna
ReplyDeleteMade it this week yay! Thanks for such a great place to share our spaces.
ReplyDeleteNice new blog look! I had to skip last week but I m back and even busier! Thanks for keeping this fun tour going. Have a good time!
ReplyDeleteOh nice background despite everything getting rather narrow! It seems to cut off the right hand side of your photo,so good job I could click on it to see the bit I was missing! Only 3 columns of links, maybe it is my laptop's small screen although I don't have the option of scrolling left/right.
ReplyDeleteAnyway ho hum, nearly forgot today was Wednesday, all flummoxed by a hospital appointment this morning and still not blogged my desk - but will. BJ something greater than 97!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks wonderful! Wishing you a happy and relaxing vacation!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
I came in at #102 in the end btw. Have a great holiday. BJ
ReplyDeleteYou're so brave changing your blog...it looks great...but I'm afraid I'd loose everything...and it takes so long...and I'm techni...challenged anyway. Enjoy your holiday. Be well Happy day... Carole #93
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a tidy desk - shock horror!
ReplyDelete#104 here...$45 for a seat in the workshop "Art of the Gelli - Part Two" on http://www.artdemos.com I have been so busy that I haven't shown my workdesk in a month. But last night I finally finished the 8 weeks of prepping and videography and YAY! these are a result of lots of late nights. Stop over and check me out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for correcting my link, I hadn't realised anything was wrong! We've just had a lovely day in Bath with Owen, went on the train. Good to see him, he's looking good and seems happy with the way things are going.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful few days off, enjoy the sun adj everything else ;-)
Hugs, LLJ 44 xx
Enjoy your holiday - didn't have wifi when we went away this year and far too disorganised to use café wifi - but to be honest, didn't miss it a bit. Have fun. Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, lucky you. It is hot where you are.
ReplyDeleteI see the buttons have not gone on holiday with you! Still waiting to be sorted I see.
Chris #69

ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic, I am well jell! Have a wonderful time - are you going to show us the Smash book when you get back? Annie #114 :o)
ReplyDeleteps your crocheted blanket looks amazing and just in time for the chilly winter evenings - you must be really chuffed :o)
ReplyDeleteWow hope you have a fantastic holiday, it must be lovely being warm lol, it's quite windy and cold today in the Midlands. I wish I could see your card with the phone it looks awesome. I have to ask is the heat gun Tim Holtz? I really want one of those heat guns but the Ranger one broke after a few weeks, then got a new one and after a month it broke so I have now got a woodware one which is thinner, duel heat but I still miss the type you have. Thought I would ask as you never know it may be a different one that I could buy lol. Happy Holiday Woyww :-) Kezzy xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Julia, I couldn't play today :O(, wow I love you new blog layout, and so happy your having big fun, just keep having fun and we can share when you get home.I'm gonna snoop around and see WHAT'S UP :O), hope your holiday is FABULOUSSSSSSSSS, see you soon..
