What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 386
Shocking isn't it, how fast that week went by. For me it's because by Wednesday I was already planning Friday and my weekend of Crop Retreat. And I didn't get home till Monday lunchtime, which is as good a chunk of the week a I usually take to blog and do things to blog about! So my desk today, der Desker, is a transfer to the floor. Where my weekend waits to be unpacked and transferred back to my desk. This will be later this morning when I get sick of tripping over stuff.
I should add that this is not all I took. There's a rolling tote full of stuff too, I'm not exactly sure where that is at the moment. I suspect it was moved by Mr Dunnit to make some room for real work! And of course I took a weekend bag filled with too many clothes, I was equipped for all weathers. I didn't take any will power though, and have had an incredibly indulgent weekend. And so to pay for that...a fight with the newly washed jeans tomorrow, I bet!

We should have "What's on your Floor Friday!" I'll have a lot to show for that!!! ha ha ha LOL
ReplyDeletewow, you're playing me at my own game!! looking forward to hearing more about your weekend... good luck with the newly wash jeans ... hate that!
ReplyDeleteI also have lots of things on the craft room floor - despite having lots of storage, I just always seem to run out of space! Good luck with getting all that put away. Ali x #7
ReplyDeleteOoh weekend crop retreat? Sounds fabulous (but not the unpacking):-)
ReplyDeleteKyla
Good luck sorting that little lot out! If we don't see you by tomorrow, we'll send out a St Bernard 😊
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 4 xxx
I'll be boring and say "won't take you long to sort that little lot out once you set your mind to it". I am so good at not practising what I preach. Maybe I should say "I will if you will".
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 2 xx
Glad you had a lovely time on your Crop Retreat. Those sorts of do's always have wonderful catering! That's more than half the fun I reckon!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you did there.
That's a lot of stuff to take on a retreat. I'm sure you'll get it all sorted soon hugs Nikki 8
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a weekend away - and to be able to create! Can't wait to see what you created.
ReplyDeleteI will be mightily impressed if you shift that lot Julia, mine never seems to get off the floor or out of the basket it's been in when I've been to our craft groups. So as you can imagine there are WIP all over the house. Not that I have done much this year it's been real hit and miss.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm saying nothing about your overindulging as we've just downed to tins of shortbread in three days eek !
Lynn :13
o my, all that packing and unpacking, can't wait to see what you've made over the weekend though, have a great wednesday unpacking, Vicky
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had a wonderful weekend with all that Julia. It's a good idea to drop it all in your way on the floor....it forces your hand when it comes to putting it all away :-) Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Annie x
Hi Julia I have lots of stuff on the floor at the moment and that's just preparing for one day of craft!!I always take too many clothes where ever I go - you just don't know what you will need do you!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Anne x #17
Julia, Glad you had a nice time away. As to partaking of the lovely food, it would have been rude not to;)
ReplyDeleteHope you can get everything put away soon.
Happy WOYWW

Have fun with the tidying up. Can't wait to see what you brought back. Off to the Gym now. Have a great woyww, Angela xXx20
ReplyDeleteOh LOL - seems to be a week for it, between you and H, and I've got a shot of my floor too..... Hehehehehehe!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time at the Crop Retreat. I look forward to seeing what you managed to produce while there!
Morti xx
So pleased you had a great time at the crop and I hope it gets you really buzzing. Stuff on the floor waiting to be put away is normal in all homes isn't it - well creative ones anyway. Have a lovely week x Jackie 21
ReplyDeleteCan't see my floor to show you, there's just a path to my desk!! lol That's what it feels like as I am still sorting boxes ...
ReplyDeletePleased you had a good weekend, just what you needed. Enjoy the week ahead.
Love

Sounds like you had a very busy weekend, Julia! I spotted those huge Basic Grey diecut initial in your pile. I used to love Basic Grey - not sure what happened to them! Look forward to seeing your pages later! Zsuzsa #24 (looks like my streak of #22 ended today!)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful time! Trust me, those bags will wait for you just don't trip!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #26
Sounds like you had an awesome Crop retreat... YAY for creative friends and gatherings. Newly washed jeans??? Ohmy... laying on the bed usually helps (but the first hour wearing it isn't that pleasant....) Good luck sorting the bags, enjoy your week. Happy woyww, big hug from Holland, Marit #28
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I'm seeing lots of exciting stuff in those bags. I'm pretty sure I have that Fiskars border punch I can see in the top of the bag!Looking forward to the reveal! Love and hugs, Shaz xxx #1
ReplyDeleteThe first comment "what's on your Floor Friday" ~~ made me smile..we are all guilty, just not brave enough to share it. I relate to the newly washed jeans. The cold weather seems to bring on more tasty foods. I spoke too soon about nice weather...we have had a storm thru the night with high winds and lots of rain. I cannot see out there as yet as it is the wee hours of the morn, but we'll sure be gone and enjoy leaving the branch and leaf mess til a nicer day. Actually cold and the furance kicked on. Enjoy the retreat. Those are some BIG letters on that floor.
ReplyDeleteJust chuckling at the thought of you bending down to clear your floor in those newly washed jeans! I know the feeling! x Jo
ReplyDeleteI too think that WOYFF would be the next great thing - except I've actually just cleared mine up! Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteI never seem to put the mess away that soon. It sets for weeks and weeks. As for those jeans, you need yoga pants for those indulgent weekends. Happy Wednesday! LisaDV #36
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about time. I hadn't realize it had been almost a month since my last post, until I was writing it last evening. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThought I'd come to the wrong blog .. WOYFW COULD catch on, I'm sure we all have stuff on the floor!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYFW!!

Looks like you had a great creative time out, Julia!
ReplyDeleteThe unpacking is always the part I like to adjourn too ;) But you're right: the tripping over stuff is really very annoying. Maybe this is a built-in mechanism with after-travel times: you reach a point where the unpacking and re-organising almost seems the most wonderful thing to do...lol
Greetings from Vienna,
Claudia x
Sorry a bit late today, my room is in turmoil as the lounge ceiling below needs rescuing! Looks like you have a lot of sorting to do too! BJ#39
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteSeeing all your stuff on the floor I have to ask..."isn't that what the floor is for?"LOL
Toni xx
Can't wait to see your new goodies! Looks/sounds like you had a wonderful time. I'm certainly glad I don't have to show my floor lol.
ReplyDeleteSharon K #42
Oh, I hope the weekend was lots of fun at least!! Here's hoping you find the motivation you need to get it done. I know the feeling for sure as I'm looking for some motivation myself. Happy Wednesday! :)
ReplyDeleteHope #43
It looks and reads like you had a good time. Thanks for hosting and sharing this fun peep into like minded creative people. PS about the jeans.....I say blame the dryer!
ReplyDeleteWhat is my Big Shot doing in the floor across the ocean!! (just kidding) I just never get tired of seeing my crafty buds with the very same things sitting in my craft room, even though they may be thousands and thousands of miles across the globe from me. It really is like we are just down the street from each other in the same village! I'm sorry I've been missing for a couple of Wednesdays--sometimes my actual job gets a little busy and wears me out and I don't get to do my Wednesday desker thing! Which makes me not happy. But today I get to hop around and visit, right after I go to the kitchen and grab some coffee and breakfast. Just seeing all your lovely packed goodies though, makes me realize what a lovely time you had. Hugs! Sandy Leigh #44
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, now that's an interesting floor. I'm feeling the need to rummage through those bags - there's sure to be something in there that would be oh so useful :) Apologies for not being around for two weeks - too many other claims on my time, sigh. Have a great week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #45
ReplyDeleteI meant to say good luck with those jeans. I find the easiest way to persuade jeans on is to put them on whilst lying on the bed :) Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteI am like trying to express the words of how amazing that looks to have hauled to your retreat. You even had a die cutting machine in the pile.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed that you would have done something with all these tools and have stuff to show for it later.
( every single time I have ever been to a crop, I pack this things to do, and spend all my time listening to people talk of answering their how do I questions.) so, I have never came home with things that were made during that time and eventually I stopped taking much of anything to do.
So, that part that you hauled so much is like WOW to me hopefully you can wiggle into those jeans quick too :)
~Stacy #48
Doesn't matter does it if it lays about a day or so...fact is you had a good time and that is what matters. I wouldn't worry about the fight with the jeans that too shall pass! 🙂Thanks for sharing. Have a great week Vickie #11
ReplyDeleteReminds me of all the stuff I had to carry around when DD was a baby! Always worried I would forget something! I'm sure it's the same way going to a Crop weekend! Sounds like fun! Lindart #49
ReplyDeleteWow! You do not travel light, do you? I totally understand. You never know what you might need.
ReplyDeleteBy indulgent, you mean you ate too much? I guess that is why you will fight with the newly washed jeans. Well, I had an indulgent 10 days cruise and haven't blogged in over a month!!! Good to be back. :)
ReplyDeletesounds like a wonderful time away,, I hope you show us what you created while away,, I always love to see all the tools and things you use to create what you do,, such beautiful creations,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun on your retreat! I haven't had a chance to attend one yet, the prices are usually too high. I unpack the way you do, a little bit at a time.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne #54
Hello Julia. Sounds like amazing fun weekend you had and never the fun part of putting everything back. I am always an over packer of things better to be safe then sorry......lol. Looking forward to seeing all the stuff you worked on. Have a wonderful afternoon. Hugs ~Anne L#9
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, what a busy floor! :o) Mine looks like that most of the time - my long-suffering hubby dutifully hoovers the foot-square space in the middle on Saturdays, I think he despairs of me sometimes! Glad you had a fun weekend :o) Annie C #15
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of stuff! You pack like me. Just think, if you unpack and put everything into it's place, it will be tidy...even just for a day! My art table is a perfect example of not putting anything away through several projects and the 8"x8" mixed media can barely fit.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be coming back WOYWW! The Creatives here are the sweetest ever! Hope you have a great week and I plan on being back next WOYWW! Hugs, Rasz
With going to crops I often feel discombobulated because I don't unpack. I can totally relate to the floor situation. I hope you get it back together soon. ;-)
ReplyDeleteApril
It's good to see that you went, you conquered, and you returnth, Julia! I'm sure everyone had a marvelous time! Also, lovely to hear you pampered yourself while you were at it!! Love and hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're ready to craft on the go! I bet your crops are fun.
I'm hoping to get some visiting in today and tomorrow.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,
Kay
