As for my desk, well see for yourself! I had tidied in order to prepare last Thursday's workshops, and then thought I'd get straight back into it. But life sometimes has an intolerable way of interrupting the plan and I haven't managed to return to normality yet. Didn't stop me buying new stuff to play with after Saturday's workshop though!
You can see I splashed out on some new stamps and some new pens; considering this is a brag post, I didn't do a good job on the photography did I! Never mind, you'll see it all in action very soon....the set of stamps on a Coffee theme are talking to me! There are remnants of paperwork waiting to be filed too - funny how you miss seeing something till it pops up in a photo. I'll probably get around to that just because they are genuinely in my way! |
| Not a bad view of the building site either....a very weather dependant project! |
Show and tell please, we like to see, better yet, we love to be inspired! Put WOYWW in your post title and link here, thank you!
Nice and early today, means I can go and get ready for work now!! Great desk,though as you say, we can't really see the new stuff (I may be guilty of that too!) hope you get to play with them soon.
ReplyDeleteHello Julia,
ReplyDeleteI've got 2 out of the 3 sets too, the tags and the houses (they are so much fun) enjoy them, Vicky
Morning Julia. Enjoy playing as the coffee set call you!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Good timing. I happen to get to warm while sleeping and was awakened and remembered it was Wednesday already. Ditto on "Life" taking over. I like the big house stamps, through the reflection I almost could make out mugs etc. Always fun to see how others use them. I am doing pretty well at using Stamps on my projects. (one of my goals) Then I spotted presents to the right, and to the left you have a lot of scissors in one place ! Mine are scattered everywhere, just like my tape measures. Well dear lady, thanks for hosting and have a fun week .
ReplyDeleteNot a clue what the stamps are so that will be nice for me to see you having used them. Not sure how others have managed to see what they are - guess I do need my specs changing.
ReplyDeleteYes, seen the change of date and commented and still hoping to be there - ooh super excited, I hopefully will make a crop at long last.
What are you building if it is not too rude to be asking?
See you later.
Hugs, Neet xx 7
Oh nice and tidy Julia and goodies too, lovely. BJ#9
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia
ReplyDeleteI am only glad you can not see my filing tray as it is a disgrace and about a foot high. Lord knows why at 61 and a half I've never got my head around doing it on a daily basis but there we are.
In the meantime that beautiful tag on the box has given me an idea for my project and I like the look of those pens.
Have a good creative week (hope life doesn't get in the way)

Well, I have recently discovered (and blogged) that un-messy crafting is not a happy way to craft at all lol. There are always treasures to be discovered within piles of stash :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday!

It's always good to see new stash on a desk....hope you have fun using it all. Hope the weather is kind for you so your building work can develop outside.....exciting times.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Hugs,

Coffee has it's place but don't forget to sleep. rest if you can't sleep. let healing happen...so sorry that your life must feel upside down at the moment, having small pleasures helps us take a break from the grief, so whatever your pleasure, feel free to indulge...much love and thinking of you and your SIs , dxxxx 11
ReplyDeleteLovely tidy desk Julia. Hope you get to play with the new goodies soon.
ReplyDeleteToni xx
it looks ordered..or we say in dutch... geordend... netjes.
ReplyDeleteis the garden yours? Well you will have a flowering garden this year? that would be so great...Everything is growing again. In the Netherlands it is spring already.
Have a very nice inspiring day with a lot of good/ beautiful work to make at your desk.
Groeten van mij... Elizabeth
Oh my a tidy desk and new stash a double win!
ReplyDeleteKyla
This all looks ready for play today. Look forward to seeing what you get up to. Happy crafty WOYWW, Angela x19x
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the new stash - had to get a closer look and I see houses - they look fab and I can't wait to see what you do with them -I'm slightly obsessed by miniature houses. Hope you have a great week,

Looking lovely and tidy this morning, Julia and some new stamps waiting to be inked. Have fun playing. It's always exciting inking them up for the first time isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHugs Lisa x#24
Hi Julia, I think that's the tidiest I have seen your desk. Enjoy your new stash. Sue
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny coincidence, I've just bought some coffee stamps too (by Altenew). Nice tidy desk. Happy WOYWW Sarah #25
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW. New stash - I love to see it, as I am on a strict 'no spend' policy for the 3 years that it is going to take me to slowly pay off my credit card debt! I am determined to get the balance down to zero (cards already cut up) and then I will genuinely have the spare cash each month to spoil myself. I keep telling myself that 3 years will just fly by, just like the last 3 (our eldest granddaughter was 3 in January). Ali x #27
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, will look forward to seeing the stamps in action. That desk looks exceedingly tidy-doesn't happen with mine very often, although I'm yet to get mine very messy since I've been home. Love and lots of hugs to you, Shaz XxXx #8
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI like those house stamps very much and the ones half underneath look interesting too!

I like brag posts, always good to see new stash! Good luck with the garden! EmbroidRage #3 x
ReplyDeleteYour desk is looking tidy this week, Julia. New goodies are always good. I'm not doing too badly staying away from buying (not entirely but certainly cut down)but seeing other stash does tempt me!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

I know exactly what you mean. I managed to dust, vacuum and clean my bathroom last weekend, but I haven't finished reorganizing my drafting table stuff yet. Good luck with your project and blessings!
ReplyDeleteI'm throwing my cap in first here today... because it's been quite some time since I last linked up. I hope you'll forgive me.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to your post today Julia... all my plans and ideas are constantly tipped upside down lately.
Have fun with your new supplies. Happy WOYWW :D
Life does seem to have a habit of doing that to far too many good friends recently. Take good care of yourself x
ReplyDeleteHello from Peggy! I always love to see what you are up to!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you create with your new supplies. Always fun to try them out. Have a wonderful creative week!
ReplyDeleteI always love coming home with new stash after a workshop! All the creative enthusiasm and lure of new stamps begging for artistic release! I really need to learn to schedule more days off following so my new items don't get pushed aside for week...er, months before playing! LOL! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteyou know seeing your new stash of tools made me realize that its been a while since the last coffee lovers blog hop and that means there should be one coming soon. ( I will have to try to remember to find out) It will be fun to see what you do with your new goodies. ( I am cataloging my ink pads... and don't cha just know I tend to buy the same colors over and over again (from different companies) ( I am rolling my eyes) ~Stacy #43
ReplyDeleteFun to have new stash, isn't it! As for experimenting, "some people are born weird, some people become weird, and some people have weirdness thrust upon them" lol! Guilty as charged. If I had my way, I'd be experimenting all the time. I really love trying different things out, and mixing different materials, and heating them and melting them, just to see what happens! Thank you for your comment - yes, it's very good to be feeling better again and to be able to start doing things again.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #32
Hi Julia! Thanks for visiting my blog, it's always a nice surprise when you comment! I'm looking forward to seeing what magic you create with your new toys! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #39
ReplyDeleteI just haven't managed to do my WOYWW post this week - been helping Max with Ben and her crafty stuff - the joys of being a crafty Mum! What a neat and tidy desk today - wish mine looked like that but it's piled high with dumfing waiting to be framed! have a good week. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteLots of clear space all ready to be creative!! Have fun with your new stamps when you get the paperwork all sorted.
