What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 730

And still I’m showing off goodies, it’s just lovely. I’ve managed to post these pics completely out of order, these lovely ATCs arrived on and before the actual anniversary. I’m still looking at them all with glee and pleasure, and some pride - it’s so lovely knowing you and owning some of your art. This week has been a mixed bag for me..I haven’t been well, and it’s taking ages to shake off, this is the third week and I’m very bored and not a little behind with my grand plans. Grand plans! They’re always plans until you do ‘em aren’t they, even normal daily jobs! The ‘grand plan’ hasn’t come to my desk yet…
Blue light because of cruddy photographing, sorry. There’s a little splurge on laser cut acrylic words and a crown stencil quietly awaiting some action. There’s quite a few coronation related bits and pieces for the scrapbook pages that will eventually be made up. There’s a sheet of the new logo that was a trial run for cutting positions to make the badges. It’s the layout that worked, so I shall make some more badges when I need some mindless activity. Any time soon, to be honest! And the plate has reappeared. I really want this off my desk and in the kiln, so have promised myself that I’ll start the tracing of the pattern onto it before the week is out. Again, not to complain too loudly for fear of being treasonous, but it’s a mighty complicated design if you’re not using a computer programme! 
You can see my ATC collection stacked up against my under utilised bin…if you’re easily bored, learn to ignore them, because I doubt if they’ll be moved from the desk space for some time yet! How’s your desk then, full of interest and creativity? Overflowing with beautiful stuff and causing you to smile? Or is it the burgeoning and bursting garden that’s giving you pleasure this week? I sure hope something is!  Share and tell please, it makes my world go around and my desk feel at home!

I am sorry you haven't been well, I hope you feel better soon. I am glad the atcs have given you some pleasure though. There is nothing exciting on my desk (apart from some new stencils) though.. Happy WOYWW and look after yourself. Helen xx

Ah the joy of the ATCs lingers on! A couple of mine came from quite a distance and it’s mean an extension of the anticipation and delight past the day. Love getting every one! I wish my desk was overflowing with creativity but it just isn’t, maybe next week. Thanks for the badge, and curious about those acrylic words btw. Hope to see them closer at some point…
Happy Woyww

I wish you felt better, dear Julia. I wish there was something I could do, but I am not a medical doctor and this just has to run its course, I fear. I don't think I've seen your desk this clean in a LONG time. You MUST be bored. I love that new crown stencil. Something I would love to own. The stencil, not a real crown. Please take care of you, dear.

Oh dear, what is the matter Julia, it's not nice feeling unwell for three weeks. I hope it is something you can get treatment for.
Wow, what a lovely array of ATC's you have for uks again today. I am sure they look absolutely fantastic when all placed together and it just shows the array of talent within the group. Hopefully by next week you will have one more. I think today might just see a start.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

Sorry to hear you’ve not been well, there’s some weird bugs going round, hope you pick up soon. It’s fun to see you gloat over the ATCs,as without you there wouldn’t have been any. Thanks for the badge btw x
Hugs LLJ 6 xx

Oh Julia, sorry you're not 100% yet. These viruses seem to be dragging on these days don't they, a guy at dancing last night said the same. Love that you have some coronation bits for the forthcoming scrapbooking, don't think I have any. Love the new logo, can see it on the border and wonder if there's a link so we can put it on our pages too - my current one is quite old methinks. The established date makes this one ageless iyswim. Hope you get the plate done soon. I remembered to take a photo of my desk mid-scrapping which is a treat and it also shows you how easily I can be distracted too. Hugs BJ#7

Hi Julia, sorry to hear you're not yourself but hopefully you'll be better soon. Great collection of ATCs they are certainly a beautiful collection. I have to take the dogs to the groomers this morning so I'll be back later to visit everyone. Happy woyww with huga, Angela x8x

Annie said...

Hoping you feel much better very soon. I’m showing your ATC and badge today because Jo had put mine away with hers by mistake, with all she’s been coping with lately, so thank you so much for mine.
Sending you big healing hugs my friend,

Good morning Julia. Sorry to hear you have not been well, it can be quite aggravating when you don’t feel well and want to get on with something. Lovely display of ATC’s. I always have big plans that don’t always work out! Hope you feel better soon x Angela #11

Christine said...

Being 'off colour' is not an excuse for a tidy desk!!! Hope you're well enough soon to mess it up with some creativity. . . . .
Take care and rest up . . . in the sunshine if you have some . .
Love

Hope you are feeling better soon, it’s all very well having to take it easy for a few days but stuff still goes on needing done. I should have some more post when I get home, something to look forward to other than piles of washing! Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx

Sorry to read you are not up to par. Seems hot baths and sleep are the easiest. Here, most are dealing with allergies. Breathing smoke from Canada for weeks and such a haze. Fun things on your very organized desk. I'll be spending time trying to get 1 of 3 printers to work. One has a paper feed issue, one has a bad ink problem and the new one won't let me connect to it. Some days ....can be so much frustration and the plan you had just isn't to be. Wishing you well, I got your ATC Tuesday morning. Thanks so much for the WOYWW button. Hopefully you'll be up and at 'em quickly. Hugs and Best Wishes

Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly Julia and hope you manage to shake it off soon. A very boring desk from me today! Happy WOYWW Sarah #15 (You can tell it's a holiday).

Hope you're feeling a lot better by now... I've been on my phone trying to link but It won't...or I'm doing it wrong, paste and copy the web address in. Still never mind, I was very late posting!! After spending the day hunting for a lost dog, felt like a zombie Wednesday morning! (Drone video on my woyww post) Your desk still looks far more interesting than mine. I'm still looking out for two more atc's, so may add them next week. Happy late woyww, ((Lyn))
