Anyway, to make y'all grateful that you don't have to visit in person, I thought I'd show you the non-panoramic, panoramic view of the way I left my little workroom..
This is the 'centre' shot, the actual desk, although it's getting hard to tell apart from any other piled up space. There's a few cards waiting to go into cellophane bags and the mustaches and glasses are a NBUS set that I fancied trying whilst putting off something or other. Oh I remember, I was having a face-time with my Sissy because she felt the need to show off her high temperature, blue sky, swimming pool type holiday location, so I felt the need to treat myself to doing something for fun. Ha. Joke's on her, don't you agree?!
So, swing left..literally . My swively tractor seat means that this is at my immediate left, don't need to leave my seat...
A basket of card blanks in various sizes and a new scrapbook album, some empty 12x12 acrylic boxes and GKW else sit on top of a RUB set of drawers. The drawers hold all my clear and unmounted stamps with the exception of the top right one which is where I keep cards that I've made. Stock. Not for selling, for me to use or give away. I used to think that I could whip up a card that was personal to a recipient the day before their birthday/anniversary/cheer up need, but that was just naive. If I don't have a stock I can't cope. Actually, I can't cope anyway, but the chances are much improved by having a stash of made cards!
So, swing right. This is far enough away to require me to stand up and take a step to this worktop. But you can see, I just dump stuff on it until I can't use the die cutter anymore and it makes me want to yell at myself.
Apart from being the owner of all this lovely, gloriously disorganised stash, the really best thing about this little room is tan at one of its 3 doors leas into the rest of the house, so I can close it and no one can see what lies beyond. And out of sight means I don't have to tidy up if I don't want to! And I never do want to. Even when I tidy up.
Hope you've had a good week, please join in and link as usual. See you at yours!
You’re early! Hope the window work hadn’t been too onerous, it’s definitely interfered with crafting though. How very dare it! I like the Nbus moustache, great fun. Hope all is well Chez Dunnit.

well I'll join in early too... only came to grab the URL.... you may not have had much time to visit but you seem to have been very busy! Great to see several views this week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the window fitting. Helen #2
I think you’re work desk is tidier than mine! Ever flat surface has stuff stacked on it! And I do hope to see your crafty space, even if I have to peak 😂
ReplyDeleteI do love a good solid door I can use to close out the rest of the world- even if it's only in my own mind. robyn #4
ReplyDeleteOh my life just checking my link works on my scheduled for midnight post and I find Mr linky up and ready. Oh My! Good news for me though as I have quite a few things to be done tomorrow morning, including shopping and a summer school meeting so this really helps me. Hope your day runs smoothly. Hugs BJ#5
ReplyDeleteYou caught me off guard, too. However, this is a good thing, because at least I am still sitting, which is a good thing. Hope the window fitting goes well. That can be a real chore if the measurements are off by even a mm. Loved seeing all those clear boxes. My idea of perfect storage, too. Have a super week, dear Julia.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been lucky that in this house my room is easily hidden away. The last one, it was a total pass thru from everywhere to everywhere, literally. Good luck with rhe windows. It’s a massive job for sure. And I did need reminding to addresss my own lack of card stash too! Happy Woyww!

I have to tidy up a bit just to take a photo - how does every surface just get covered with stuff?
ReplyDeletetrying to get my post written before I go to aquarobics...
Happy Crafting! Susan
Our desks are certainly at opposite ends of the spectrum this week. However I too suffer with the pile stuff up till I can't use the cutter syndrome - drives me mad!! However, got noone to blame but myself and my untidy genes. Hope the real work is going well. Remember how we usaed to do that stuff all the time? Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx #9 (Oops messed it up but duobt you'll have time to sort it).
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see rather more of your creative space today....everything at hand, just the way I like it. I hope the window fitting goes well and you get a little more creative time soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hello Julia 💕 popping my head back in to say hello 😊 I'm so sorry it's been a while, I've missed you all. Wishing you much luck with the window fitting ⭐️ here's to it all going smoothly. Just look at all the space you have ... I do like the sound of your swively tractor seat 🚜 🥰 I now have an image in my head of you burling roond and roond 😁 it's lovely to be back, to see what you've been up to. Sending much love and hugs Tracy #14 xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAlways love to have a nosey round. Desk time just has to wait, happens to us all at sometime. A stash of cards is something I have to have as I usually can't think of what to make when I need them most, brain fog I think. Wishing you a productive day. Hugs, Angela x15x
ReplyDeleteI call that a relatively tidy desk . . . wonder if you are starting a new trend . . . . you know . . . . you've shown me yours, I'll show you mine . . . . nnnooooooo!
ReplyDeleteHope the day job goes well and the measurements were perfect . . . .
Take care

This is my second week back and I have to brag on all the sweet ladies. Everyone is so welcoming and I feel quite at home already! I love visiting and getting to see your space each Wednesday and I see quite a few of the same tools I use here in your space. Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Miss Julia.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you have 'real life' stuff to do frightens me. LOL I thought you just puttered all the time and let Mr. D take care of everything else. #realitycheck LOL
I love how you have everything at your fingertips with a simple swivel one direction or the other. Go you!
Creative Blessings! ~ Kelly
Always good not to have to tidy up when you can just shut the door on things Julia. Hope the window fitting goes well. I have those stamps too - they were a freebie with Craft Stamper magazine methinks. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #16
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to 'tidy' for months. At the moment, I can't get into my bed room as I'm once again, changing things in my craft room. Your crafty space looks very inviting! All those bits of stuff waiting to be reincarnated into something amazing! My chair is on wheels too, but can't go too far without getting stuck on something. Have a great day! Happy WOYWW ((Lyn))#19
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a ready to get on with something kind of desk and I hope you get some time soon, hugs Chrisx #21
