What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 228

The Spanish, edition. Unless of course, you're Kate.  In which case, joining in from Spain is entirely normal and I'm simply bragging.  No, wait, I AM bragging. Having a late holiday is a weather gamble and this has just been a good 'un.  So, because of the vagaries of Ole (our Spanish ISP), my ipad and Blogger refusing to shake hands, and the horrible problem I have understanding Blogsy my Workdesk today is picture-less.  Don't be mistaken -  lack of photo evidence doesn't prove me a slacker. Oh no.  I've done some bead embroidering (about an hours worth) and I've started work on some more crochet squares for another blanket.  I think I've made about 9 so far.  They're four inch squares, so I've worked less hard than I care to think about.  Thing is, as you know, being on holiday makes you want to sit and do nothing.  So I do.  and I'm with my mum and one of my lovely sisters, so am not without company for a chat.  All this does not mean however, that we aren't interested in your work desks...as usual, play along by linking your WOYWW post here please!  See you for reals, very soon!

    I was just doing my WOYWW post to schedule for midnight and needed your address to link up to my page - thought I was seeing things - but NO there is the post a day early. Hope it is OK to link up early - just couldn't resist the number one spot - BJ#1

    I joined in too, couldn't resist. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and don't worry about not keeping up the crafting timetable. I am off to get some more wool tomorrow, after the gym so I can crochet in the evening. xx Maggie #4

    I'm like BJ. I saw the post was up when I came for your URL. Even though I'm a bit late, I'm still early (GRIN). Glad you did this, because I want to got to dinner instead of lunch with Sally today.

    BTW, I used my imagination and envisioned your latest crochet project and your uncommonly tidy desk, where everything has been put away, except the ATG, the button jar, and the glass mat. Hey, I told you I imagined it and I have a very active imagination.

    Well this is fun! I'm enjoying this early bird special linkup! I think we are all enjoying your holiday too Julia. And just because there's no picture doesn't mean I'm not excited about some crochet squares and bead embroidery. That is right up my alley! I'm sure your desk is missing you though--it's having a little vacay too. Hugs! Sandy Leigh #9

    So glad Spain has lived up to its reputation for October sunshine. It has been lovely in our bit all week. Well done for doing anything crochet or bead related. I've hardly touched mine since I got back from UK.

    Hello Julia,

    Wow - you are very early! Too bad I haven't taken photos of my desk yet and I'm STUCK at WORK.... shhhhh

    I'll be linking up just as soon as I get home.

    By the way, I'm sure you are a very trustworthy person so I'll take your word that you have done some crafting! I imagine the beading and crocheting is just as relaxing as having a wonderful holiday!

    Happy WOYWW
