What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 855

Hello lovely Neet, if you're reading this, know that we're all thinking of you and sending you the feel better vibes!

This was last night, proper night too, dark outside...it was actually only about 7, because I took it while I waited for our supper veggies to boil! I had started to unpack from the crop retreat at some point - that box contains papers that are matched to photos already. The stuff on top is coincidental because it's been there two weeks and any surface is a catch-all, huh! The actual working area has scrap paper and is relatively clear because during quite a long FaceTime call with my sister at the weekend, I made a handful of very simple cards. The box of gems is not put away flotsam from that. The coins came out of my pocket yesterday, setting up my screen for a chat with our Jan, my tunic pocket was clanking and annoying me as I moved. I was crocheting while Jan and I chatted about everything, what a tonic an hour in her company is to me. So that crochet project is finished and I'm moving onto making a Christmas present, I just like to have something to do in front of the TV so that me and Mr Dunnit are at least in the same room in the evening. I will tell you all about the new crochet next time...there's already a story. Ouf.

Join us in the best show and tell, leave a link at Sarah's and we'll swing by!

Twiglet said...: I agree with the Jan chat - she is such a lovely lass and I'm sure she will lift your spirits. I'm glad you have been crafting too and yes, I bet all us crafters have a little bag/ basket beside our armchairs so that we can continue beetling away whilst watching tv and keeping our other halves company. Love and all good wishes.. Jo xxx; 22 October 2025 at 10:32

Lunch Lady Jan said...: Dawwww, you’re so kind, it was lovely to catch up and see that you and Mr D are doing ok and have plans moving forward. You’re a fast crocheted if you finished that scarf last night! I have really enjoyed doing all the knitting but it’s definitely slower than crochet. A lovely day here today, some pottering outside I think and then some friends are coming for a cuppa and catchup this afternoon!

Crafting With Jack said...: Good friends are a tonic indeed. If I went in my craft room while cooking, saucepans would boil dry! I hope you and your husband are recovering well from the shock, it takes a while sometimes, hugs to you both. Angela #10; 22 October 2025 at 14:13
Felix the Crafty Cat said...: There is nothing better than a chat with friends, I so wish that we might all get together again some time. Leaving the kitchen and going into the craft room never works for me as I'm too easily distracted and forget what I'm supposed to be doing. The weather's been good here but it's definitely getting dark early. Wishing you a very happy woyww. Hugs Angela x7x; 22 October 2025 at 16:42
