What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 816

I took this pic last night; I thought I was going to schedule this post and then things changed. You would be correct if you assume that nothing on the desk has changed; just my plan for this morning! Actually, go me...I did remove the coffee mug for washing and refilling! I've been playing with birds and scraps. A continuation of what I was doing last week really, in ten minute snatches. It's not ideal but it does ensure that I get something done, excluding tidying up of course!
You can see the collection of scissors...the smaller ones discarded in rage because they are all in various stages of dull or blunt. I've got a Fiskars sharpener but it doesn't seem long before the blades are dull again...so I get Mr Dunnit to labour over them with a Japanese wet stone. Of course he's too busy and of course I could do it myself, but he is a lovely bloke and never ever turns down the job. And he does it on a same day turn-around! 
Here are a couple of blunt cut birdies
There's a handful of postcard type finished articles on the top left. I've been selling a few bits and pieces online and I think it's always nice to add a 'thank you' to the parcel, otherwise it's a totally cold exchange! Today is Mr Dunnit's birthday and the first of a community 'bring your project' craft morning in our small town, so I'm anticipating a fun day and possibly even not having to cook this evening - gotta love a midweek birthday! 
Please join in with sharing your desk, it's easy to do, find the base link and other desks at Sarah's Craft Shed.  Have a good day!

Happy Birthday Mr Dunnit, hope you have a cracking day πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸΎπŸŽ
The craft morning sounds fun, is that something that’s stemmed from the WI? G sharpened all our kitchen knives with a whetstone last week, they’re bloody lethal now!!

Happy birthday Mr Dunnit. I hope you enjoy the day.
I miss my dad for sharpening my scissors and knives 😒 I have a sharpener but it never does the same job.

Well, hope Mr D has a lovely birthday, give him a hug from me please. Also hope you don't have to make a meal this evening, birthdays can be good excuses to get out of jobs,
Gosh I had forgotten all about whetstones. I don't seem to blunt my knives much unless I cut paper with fabric ones of course!!!
Julia, I just love your little birds.
Hugs, Neet 2 xx

Good morning, Miss Julia!
Surprised to see me? LOL
Happy Birthday, Mr. D! I hop you have an awesome day.
How can a crafter collect sooooo many scissors? If you find the answer, please let me know. LOL I have a 'few' myself.
Creative Blessings & Hugs! Kelly #14
