What's on your Work Desk Wednesday - 51


A couple of new things on my desk (table, still haven't got round to setting anything up in the conservatory) this week. I snaffled the stripy box from hubby, it had come from a car boot sale with playstation games in (for the ebay empire) and I thought it would be ideal storage for my stamps! I've chucked a few other bits and pieces in it too for good measure, I never seem to be able to keep to a proper system of having one kind of item in one place!


The other new thing is my Penny Black stickeroos. I am using them to enter my first challenge at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge at www.pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com (sorry can't get the link thing to work!) and my time to craft
http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/05/challenge-93-vivid-greetings-cards.html Wish me luck!

The other items strewn around include my ironing and once again the salt and pepper etc! I must get round to doing that ironing this Bank Holiday weekend and also sorting out the conservatory so I can craft in there. I did do a bit in the garden at the weekend but it was a bit too hot really! No such luck now mind you, it's freezing again :-(

Have a great week x

(Sorry about the spacing on this post, it has all gone to pot on me!!)

    Yes, that stripey box is far too good for computer games!

    Blimey, you should see my ironing. it would need all the chairs around your desk and then some! Nice to have a large free space to work in though. I often end up on the kitchen table! Leandra

    I should clarify, that isn't all my ironing, only a bit of it! The basket in the conservatory full of it overflowed so I had to start hanging it on the chairs!!

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

Image
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 ...
