What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 895

 Turns out I didn’t tidy for no reason….I've used my desk! Hurrah, fanfare!!

As you can see from this morning’s photo, it’s on the cool side in my workroom all morning, so at the weekend I turned my back on morning routine and enjoyed a couple of hours at the old desk. I made up the cards from the Stampin’Up Pumpkin Patch subscription kits I signed up for. Turns out I’ve quite a lot to say about the kits, so will photo the made cards and talk about them separately. I soon turned back to my stamps and mess making though, and really did enjoy a thoroughly good session- and although I did tidy, it wasn’t thorough, huh! I’m off to join in with some community crafting this morning at a local pottery painting shop; I think I may actually paint a pot rather than drag stuff with me to do, after all, there are Christmas presents to be made!

I’m grinning now at the various reactions that talking about Christmas will have caused….! Join us over at Sarah’s for sensible and creative desks!

What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 894

I’m actually past the stage of letting the sun and temperatures be my excuse for not doing things. I’ve managed to go about the daily essentials so I know I can do more, but the draw to be outside is rather great! However, I’ve shaken off the ennui and tidied and wiped!

I’m actually embarrassed to say that there were cobwebs! Ah well, there aren’t any now. This room is at its coolest in the morning and I rarely have the chance to use it then. I’ve invested in a fan to sit under the desk…I’d rather my legs froze than the bits and pieces of paper and GKW got blown about. We’ll see! 

Here’s a swing to the right to show that I have indeed tidied in as much as I’ve put things away rather than just shoving the piles somewhere else!  


I’m hosting a crafty coffee session this morning so must get a move on…no paper involved, if I get to it, I’ll be weaving in ends on a crochet project. Perfect for this morning but oh boy, yawn! 🥱 
Join more WOYWW folk over at Sarah’s. There you will see stuff actually being made, rather than an old woman bragging about a bit of tidying up after herself. Talking of 🥱!

What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 891

I put my head down and got my LLJ on last week. Hiding from the hot sun, I made a bag to tote around the projector screen for our WI branch. At the time of purchasing it was me that researched and found it, so it seems that it’s me that gets to store it and then remember it when needed. It needed a bag to make it easy to carry - I usually walk to the WI venue but when needed, wrangling the silly shaped box was getting ridiculous. Handles were required!

And yesterday, despite not tidying up, I did some desk work, first for ages! The ATC isn’t traditional shape, but is the right size, thought it would make a change, for our ‘fruit’ theme. The stack of felt squares that looked like a box has been removed for cutting into shapes, but otherwise there’s still a teetering pile and I’m managing to ignore it! 

I’ve finished another string of felt gin bottle bunting, and am working on birds and clouds now. These light evenings are great for slow hand stitching projects! 
So at last, that’s something to show, however badly photographed! Show and tell what your Wednesday work surface looks like, see loads of others that link over at Sarah’s.
