What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 882

 So convinced that today was only Tuesday that I’m writing this at 2pm! I had a day off on Monday and it’s totally thrown me. A lovely weekend spent at crop means that I’ve done a lot and now am in the messy part of clearing up…..

There’s the pile of LOs that I made at the weekend. It was a weekend of tough decisions….sit outside in the beautiful garden and enjoy the sun, or actually do something indoors…..ended up doing a lot of both really, especially by scrapping well past bedtime to make up for afternoon time in the sun! The magazines there have had a belly band fitted to jazz them up a little as they’re to go as a gift with a card -one of the trainers at my gym is having a knee replacement as we speak and I know that she’ll be bored rigid for the few hours she has to spend off her feet every day!

Meanwhile, here’s a quick pic to prove that there actually is a pile of layouts to show for my weekend

I need to go through them and see if they need any tweaking before I put them in their album. Given that I thought I was a day in hand, that may have to wait until the weekend. Hope you’re all experiencing some version of the glorious sunshine (today’s the same but the wind is brutally cold again) and enjoying the Spring that’s sprung!

 I’m going away for a Crop weekend on Friday lunchtime. What you see here is my untidy desk covered in the ‘suitcase’ of little boxes which comprises my embellishments and ah, ephemera. 

I was checking for a particular thing to add to the LO you can see in the lid. Because you see, gentle Desker, in order to pack for a weekend of cropping, I first have to unpack and put away from the day’s cropping three weeks ago. Oh dear. You can see remnant tubes of white paint from last week, and a new set of embroidery skeins that I found rather cheaply at a charity table top sale. Colours are a bit erm, non-traditional, but they’ll largely be used on felt so I don’t doubt they’ll do. 

Meanwhile, B-J asked to see the LOs…I don’t blame her either, I talk about doing stuff and then don’t prove it. also it will make your teeth itch B-J, the dates are not chronological like your pages!

Please join in over at Sarah’s, and as I recently heard on an Instagram reel….have a good day on purpose!

 Big up to Sarah for keeping us going to this lovely bubbly round number!

I have a small amount of action going on - I thought I should tidy and ended up painting! 

I acquired a tray full of out-of-date Pringles from a shopkeeper friend and having rinsed and wiped  the tubs, decided they’d be good for a decoupage stunt at WI. Then I realised that the vibrant red of the pots would take a more covering than a gal can contemplate, so I’ve set about undercoating them in white. The first layer was poster paint and barely made a difference. I rummaged furiously and found all sorts of odd tubes of white acrylic paint, so they’re all now well on their way to being opaquely white. Then they can sit quietly in a box with a couple of packs of natty napkins and some glue spreaders (‘found’ over many trips to a Costa) . They are a back up plan, so we have something to do if a speaker has to make a last minute cancellation. Hasn’t happened yet, so I might even get time to make a sample and test run the theory!

Join us over at Sarah’s for creativity overflow, it’s free it’s harmless, it can be enabling and it’s always inspiring. Have a lovely day!

Well last week I wrote a post and forgot to publish it. This week I’ll schedule it and try hard not to forget to link it. Seriously, I wish I could find someone to blame…..!

Oh gosh, I found myself needing a sympathy card. It caused me, out of some weird respect, to tidy up and make it in a decent environment. No bad thing, but definitely not how I usually make a card ‘au last minute’, as y’all know! Still, having excavated the desk it may see a bit of action at last…I’ve got some scrapbook layouts that need to be titled and have the odd embellishment added before putting them in the album, so I think that’ll be next. Hope you all enjoyed some down time over the Easter weekend, the weather has been 48 hours of sunshine which I must say has done my inner sun seeker a whole amount of good!

Catch up with us all at Sarah’s to enjoy more desks and chatter. What’s not to like?!
