What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 243

Brace yourself.  I may not have made/had much time to spend at the desk, but my word, I've made a mess on it!  I'm working on some backgrounds using lots of stamps and inks for a bit of a 'free for all' workshop next month.  I'm having more fun than I thought I would..although it is in five minute bursts!

Even I'm at a bit of a loss to pick out bits to talk about, good grief it is a mess!  Still, at least it was daylight when I got home to take the photo (Tuesday afternoon) and this cold Wednesday I'm going to be a domestic goddess.  And a business administrator goddess.  And a laundry goddess.  And a craft goddess. And a computer tech goddess.  Seriously, it's a busy day!
So join in and keep me at my computer! If you need them, instructions are on pages a click away - under the blog header. Please put WOYWW in your post title and when you comment at other's, please leave your link number. 
I have to hijack the post at this point and thank you SO SO much for your responses to my hilariously nosey and introspective post last week.  You are all so interesting and we are definitely all joined by blogging.

  1. I suspect right now you are a sleeping Goddess, a dreaming Goddess, and a warm Goddess. Hope it's not as cold there as it is here. And I promise not to say anything about your desk (grin).

    Happy WOYWW from #1 again this week. No, I can't believe it, either.

  2. Good morning, Julia. If you think your desk is a mess, you have obviously forgotten the total bomb site which was my desk. To me, your desk just looks well worth a good snoop. Thank you for sharing it all with the rest of us. xx Maggie #1 (I think)

  6. You are a true goddess, or should I say, woman. We can do, almost, all things. #3

  7. Your desk is a real source of inspiration as always!

    Brace yourself: this week I have REAL DESK SHOTS AND a project! No wonder it's snowing across the country! I think I landed at #10 so stop by and have a great week!

  8. I recognize that face stamp. I think I have one...somewhere. I love the goddess theme. I must confess, most days I am more like a horse in harness than goddess. Glad you are crafting even if it is only 5 min. at a crack. Peg R #13

  9. Your desk looks fine to me! And there's a lot going on, one way or another.
    (I'm still thinking about replying to your recent post re. blogging, because I do have a lot to say about it :) :)

  11. Sorry I did not join in last week, still suffering but home in just over a week and then hopefully can get sorted.
    Your free for all sounds good - nice to be able to play or work and make it look like play.

  14. Your list of accomplishments is very impressive. I wish I could get that much done in one day. :-) I am better at making messes than cleaning them up. LOL April #22

  15. What a simple post ! I just fiished reading your previous fun blog and added my few words.
    I really want to start using more stamping techniques. And I like the use of all your background designs.
    Sunshine...I keep hoping, just for warmth. But it uplifts my mood so much. And I guess I like a messy desk, makes me feel comfortable. Have a fun WOYWW and ENJOY the day

  16. It's hard keeping a tidy desk when you have such a busy schedule. Blessings!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm envious of your desk this week Julia..I have been unwell and mine is BORING and tidy. I loved your nosy post, I made 2 attempts to comment, but not sure if it made it up..the crux of my comment was to say thank you for your blog and to never change, your conversational chatty tone.

  18. Your desk looks like you have been working...It is fun to not have to clean up your desk in between bursts. :) Have a great day! :)

  23. Thats what a real crafters desk should look like! I also recognise that face stamp, I have it to, (somewhere). Everything is 'somewhere' in this house. You forgot being the WOYWW goddess- we'd be lost without you to keep us in order. Have a great week, Julia. Hugs, Shaz #35 xx. (off to bed now, lol).

  26. Good morning, Julia. Sounds like one manic day - I think I may need to go sit down and get my breath back just thinking about it all! Trust all goes well, and that you manage just a wee time sitting gazing at all our desks ...
    Have a great week.

  27. Having to be so many different godesses all in one day, you could do with being one of those many armed Indian deities! Hope you get a little time in there for desk hopping :o)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yep that's a mess, Julia. I quite like the idea of being a messy godess though - I think I could handle that. Have a fun day in your various godessly guises, will you be changing robes for each incarnation or wearing a "one robe suits all" little number? MMx

    ReplyDelete
  29. Now that's what I call a craft desk, you just cannot beat a good mess. Good choice off stamps there Julia, the face is one of my favourites. Busy day ahead of you but you will breeze through it on lashings of hot tea and toast.

  31. Looking good - hope all that 'godessing' doesn't tire you out. If I wasn't going to work I would join you at the computer although the temptation to be a 'watching the telly from the sofa goddess' would be v strong. However tis not to be. Happy WOYWW, Cindy x

  40. Oh great goddess we thank you for hosting this wonderful opportunity for us to connect with other crafters.
    Your desk is indeed busy, I wonder if there is any way to define the line between busy and mess, but yours certainly has not overstepped that mark yet. At least not in my humble opinion and if you can still work on it, then it is just busy and you have produced that pretty pink card on top.

  44. Hi Julia I think if you could see all of the mess on my table and everywhere else you would have to agree mine is worse :-) Good you are having fun. I don't think I was last week when preparing and am seriously questioning if I want to do it any more. Happy WOYWW Anne x #63

  47. Hi Julia It's nice to see a messy desk. I have to confess that I tidied mine up for this,my first post linked to WOYWW. I am looking forward to taking part.

  48. Mornin'
    I blame the five minute bursts for all the mess - mine is as bad if not worse! I suppose five minute bursts are better than nothing but sooner or later we will have to face the big bad IsaidTidyUp - sorry! When the children were little it lived here permanently.
    Thanks for hosting and I will catch up with your last few posts now I am back among the crafters.

  50. Oops nearly forgot to leave a comment after linking. Glad you have been having a bit of FUN at your desk this week if only in 5 minute bursts.

    I love this site as it gives me a reason to post each week and to do a recap of the previous week, of what I did and did not do and what I intend to do. It sort of gives me a place for accountability.

    I like colour and think photos really help a blog page with as concise writing as is possible - if there is too much writing I tend to gloss over it.

    Thanks Julia this weekly event has really helped my blogging. BJ#72

  51. Morning Julia. You desk looks like mine did! Trying not to gloat or anything ;-) I really enjoyed your last post and everyones comments. That has got to be a record response. It was wonderful to read how much of a community has grown from blogging and I think you can take some credit for that Julia as WOYWW is a fabulously inclusive idea. I haven't been around for a while so I am looking forward to catching up with everyone. WOYWW Hugs from Helen 74 x

  56. That is what my friend would call a proper desk she claims my craft space is far too tidy yours she would approve of and to be honest I do too.

Hope your plan to be tied to the computer and so escape that long list of to-dos worked out for you :) Tomorrow may be a better day and I might just succeed in staying online for more than 5 minutes at a time.

  89. Oh my word! If I could just alter the clock on my desk into a new car for the family, that would be just fab, but alas, my altering skills do not reach that far! How I wish they did! LOL! For now it will just have to be happy with pretty or grunge...I have not yet decided which!

  90. Oh my.. I did my blog then fogot to link it here... sorry

    ReplyDelete
  91. That most definitely looks like a busy day, or possibly just an excuse for one??!!! I'm sad about Archiver's, they made JoAnns and Michaels pick their socks up I can tell you. The big box stores started selling more and better brands than they used to carry, and "new" things like ink sprays and Spectrum Noir pens. Our fellow wowwyer April (no22 this week), works at an Archiver's in Kentucky and is loosing her job at the end of Feb.

  92. Thanks for the good wishes Julia, I am hoping I manage ok on the long flight home. Can only get in one pair of trousers so will look as if I am arriving to a warm climate when I land at Manchester. Oh heck, what's it matter, will wear my sunglasses and hide behind them.
