What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 889

Good morning gentle desker. I was going to type this in block capitals to help Jan, but it seems that she’s a really good patient and her eyes are improving daily and I’m very relieved, and very pleased for you mate! Try not to wince when you see this….

It’s a story of disuse and neglect. Tidying up to use the surface will involve dusting. Apart from bone idle and procrastination, the reasons vary from being too busy with non-desk crafting (poppies) and the weather…when it’s warm and dry, my guilt gene obliges me to be in the garden. Now that does look tidy!  Anyway, have a look around…that bluey green box is my bead stash. Not huge, but contains a bracelet kit that I thought I might have a go at this summer - you know, sitting in the sun and quietly creating. Turned out to be a sit-at-a-desk-and-concentrate-hard job, so that’s now In procrastination corner.

The rectangular red box is an attempt to fire up the mojo and get some cards made…after all, I really like doing that, it’s what brought me into paper crafting. It’s actually a subscription kit from StampinUp! - it’s called Paper Pumpkin, a kit a month for however long you subscribe. This is the first, and to be honest,, I’ve opened it, felt a bit underwhelmed and put it on the desk because it must be used. That was for May, and June’s is already on the way, so I want to get enthused. I suspect that once I unpack and open, it will be a nice way to work. More on that when I do! 

The square red ‘box’ is a pile of felt pieces. I’m working on felt stuff on my sofa desk….

Making bunting. Will also report back with that when it’s more advanced. So far it’s just a few vaguely lemon shaped wedges!

So what’s on your Workdesk, lap, sofa, dining table? We’d love to see, there’s a bunch of us doing the weekly reveal over at Sarah’s. It’ll take me even more time to visit this week, today is jam full of appointments and visits, please expect me when you see me!

What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 888

 That’s a good roundy number isn’t it.

If my ‘desk’ looks familiar it’s because it’s a continuation on a theme! 

I’m still making the poppies. I am such a one-job-at-a-time person that I’ve been making myself unhappy with the number of UFOs and materials lying about waiting for me to start on. So I’ve drawn a line and am going to clear them all, one job at a time! The poppy manufacture is quite amazing.i had 3 balls of red yarn and one ball of black. I said that I’d use all the black and that would be the number of poppies I’d make, and pass on any left over red for another maker to finish. Well, I’m on the third ball of red and the black isn’t half used, so it may well be the other way around!  At the last count there were over a hundred poppies so that’s a good amount and it means I won’t be in a panic in November when the deadline rushes into view. I wonder if I’ll be able to say the same about December and Christmas cards….

There’s more crafting and the loveliest people to meet up with via Sarah’s blog where we meet to link for WOYWW.
