What's on your work desk Wednesday - 49




Well after all the comments about my very tidy workspace last time I thought I would take a picture of it in full crafting flow this time! Still looks a bit tidy though! Basically I have to share my craft space with the dining room table so have to clear everything away whenever we want to eat which is a bit of a pain! Items you can see on the table therefore include vinegar bottle, brown sauce and salt and pepper, lol!

So, one of my favourite items is on my table this week, my Sakura glaze pens, I love them they are so shiny and versatile. I've used them here on acetate with some glittery outline stickers which I had in my stash. Then I've cut them out and layered them up - here is the finished result.



The card also incorporates the use of my Cuttlebug which you can see near the tv. Still a new item for me and I am loving it! I've just got some new nestabilities (labels) delivered and I was going to take a photo of them too but unfortunately I had a bit of a disaster with my camera before I could get that far! I dropped it taking a close up of this pyramage sheet from my Walk in Wonderland CD!! Now the lens is stuck in and won't come out :-( Luckily I've sold a few cards this week so that can go towards a new one!!



Before trashing my camera, I did manage to get a photo of my storage drawers. They are great and I can store all kinds of stash in them. The plastic and blue smaller ones on top were on offer at Hobbycraft and are useful for all my smaller bits and bobs. The drawers are just right for my stamps as well, although the collection is getting a bit too big now!! I've had less success with the grey foldy thing on the floor, I can never find anything in it so it really only contains my peel offs now.



Well, I hope you have enjoyed the tour of my desk this week, happy crafting and will see you all again next Wednesday

    I love the card with the acetate. I haven't tried glaze pens yet - it looks like fun.
    I can never find anything in an accordion file - I am too visual! Good luck finding the perfect storage.
    Hugs,

    You and me with the foldy thing...while I was busy rummaging in the front pocket, the damn thing would empty everyhting off my knee from the back pockets..hated it! Love your easy to add to storage..you seem very organised. And the Cuttlebug will go on being your best toy - I've had mine for yonks and still thank myself for it on a daily basis!

    Love your storage, I have a thing for storage so nosing around at everyone's desk is a bad thing for me cause I just keep buying storage and reorganising. Not doing any crafting just buying LOL. Thanks for sharing your craft space. Tracy Evans x

    I have to say I love the drawers, they were a bit expensive but they are good quality and I can find what I am looking for straight away. It's that modular system that is always advertised in magazines, can't remember the name though, but think I will add to it in future!

    Oh Alison - what are you like... fancy throwing your camera about!!!

    I love sakura pens too - I have all the ones they do so far - I got them from singapore so didn't pay silly UK prices - so I wasn't being extravegant!!! LOL

    Anyway - I love what you have done with them - its something I wanted to use mine for - but guess what - yep... never got round to it!!!

    Your grey concertina file is exactly what I have kept my peeloffs in for a couple of years now - great minds think alike - I catagorised them all and can go straigh to whatever i need.

    Hope you get a new camera soon or you won't be able to upload your craftrak cards!!! I;m sure there will be a bargain or two out there for a good buy... good luck.

Here we are again on a dark and cold Wednesday morning! Had to wrap up warm to pop into the conservatory earlier to take the photo! It is still ok at the moment for crafting with the heater on, in fact it gets quite cosy, but not sure what it is going to be like when the temperatures tumble further over the next few days. Well, it's all a bit of a tip this week really! I'm thinking of getting rid of the sofa and getting a table instead seeing this is what it tends to get used for nowadays. You can see more of my glittery christmas trees in the foreground, I have had such fun making those. The card on the desk is a quickie card I made last night for a bereaved colleague (made with a lovely Penny Black Stamp). Really need a good tidy up now, but think I will finish off the Christmas cards (it will be nice to make something other than Christmas cards again!) and then have a good blitz. Bit of a quick post today as have to dash off to work. Pop over to see Julia at the Stamp...

WOYWW - 103

Morning fellow WOYWWers! Well I'm still struggling to balance work, new second home and card making, but I have managed to attend a couple of local classes recently and also managed to spend a couple of hours making cards on Sunday, hurrah! The results you can see on my desk. Feel like I've lost my mojo a bit though as because I haven't been at my desk for so long I can't remember where anything I need actually is, lol! A couple of photos of said house for you also now we have some furniture! The wood floor you can just about see in the photo of the living room is now sanded and is going to be varnished by my own (probably very sticky!) hands over the weekend! I'm also planning a bit of a revamp of the curtains in the same room although sewing really isn't my strong point. Will share the results if they aren't too bad ;-) So, if you have no idea what WOYWW is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out. PS APOLS TO ALL MY...

What's on your work desk Wednesday 61

Wednedsday again and I haven't posted since last Wednesday, oh dear I'm slipping! Despite having two days off work Monday and Tuesday I still don't seem to have done all that much crafting. I have been concentrating mainly though on a mini book for my Dad for his 70th and have completed six pages of that so I suppose that counts as at least six cards! It's not quite finished yet but I promise to share it when it is. It's the first scrapbook type thing that I've ever made, so not as professional looking as some I have seen, but hopefully he will like it. My craft space is getting messier by the day, it really needs a tidy up I think! I've taken a picture of the conservatory from the outside as a few people last week weren't familiar with the English love of these constructions! Ours is not a posh UPVC one though which the majoirity are, it is basically a wooden shack with windows, ha ha! For those of you who were concerned about me overheating last ...
