What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 860

Hello Deskers, hope you're squaring up to the idea of next week being a December, we seem to have rather fallen through November with nothing to hold onto!  I've actually had a tidy up on the desk front, so have a flat surface from which to show you the cards I made at a friend's SU! Christmas card making marathon. It was a lot of fun.

I've also iced the mini Christmas cakes - no marzipan as they're for a stall at a school that is a nut free zone. I know I could make a marzipan alternative but for time reasons, I've gone straight to icing. I love marzipan but rarely use it on our Christmas cake because Mr Dunnit thinks it makes it too rich. He's right, but slightly mad.

The Christmas Fair that the cakes are actually destined for isn't till the 5th December but I'm going to be away from home next week so have to finalise loads of stuff before this weekend. There's nowt like a deadline! I'm going to West Yorkshire, Keighley,  to visit my Aunt - it will be fun and probably really help to get me feeling festive! Anyone about?

Neet, I hope you're joining us in spirit from your hospital bed...so looking forward to hearing that you and the ticker are working together! Love to you, and remember, if you show anyone the photo of me in the crochet hat, I will put you on the naughty list. IN CAPITALS.

Join us all over at Sarah's for a look at desks and more. Why not, it's fun and free..the risk of friendship is real and slightly unavoidable.

 Sending love to Neet, think of you often and hope you're being a patient patient! I really have nothing but a multi coloured mess to show, no crafting at this desk....

I did have a long phone call that I thought meant that I could at least tidy up and clear the deck but that didn't work..I had to hold the phone to my one working ear rather than have it on speaker so that was a bust! The other thing about it all is that really I don't have the motivation, sadly. I'm doing some crochet in the evening in front of the tv, and I've baked a bunch of mini Christmas cakes for WI sales and gifts and I've done a lot of winter preparation gardening too, I just don't seem to get to the cutting and sticking so much for now. It's not wrong or bad but is pretty boring for you folk! 

We link at Sarah's to share pics of our crafting weeks and desk tops, join us there for some fun and some real inspiration.

Here you are Neet, nothing's changed whilst you're busy getting better....

I'm going to hazard a guess that there won't be any shock at the sight of this particular desk, I'm counting on the idea that you'd be disappointed if it was in any other state. It's remarkable really, considering I haven't actually used the desk for anything vaguely crafty. Until last weekend. I went to a friend's SU! Card making marathon on Saturday and made some lovely Christmas cards. I had sort of decided not to make any this year as they need doing soon and my heart just hasn't been in it. So I found myself remembering what I used to say to people that came to my workshops and marathons....removing yourself from the house and crafting in company can very often be just what you need. Luxury.

Join us over at Sarah's for a look at more interesting desks than this!
