What's on your work desk Wednesday (lost track of which number due to hols!)


Hello all, here I am back from my holidays in sunny (very sunny!) Norfolk. Actually I've already been back a week but with the heat last week I didn't really feel like doing much when I got in from work, hence no post from me for the last WOYWW.

The holiday was lovely, we stayed in a little cottage in a country village and did lots of cycling. We also went to the beach quite a bit too. Oh, and we ate loads of food, some of it a bit strange...here is a photo of some 'Iffits' (apparently this is Norfolk's answer to tapas). The delicacy on the right of the picture is pigs ears! Much nicer than they sound, honest (you really aren't convinced are you?!)



Anyway, back to my desk for this week. I've been having a bit of a penny black stickeroo fest this week. I've had them in my stash for a while and thought they would be perfect for 'Thank you teacher' cards to sell at work. I also made a cute good luck card with a colouful hedgehog and some bright papers, just deciding which challenges to enter it into now! The bright colours co-ordinate with my stripy box (which now holds my inkpads, you were right it was too small for my growing collection of rubber stamps which now occupy the various drawers in/on the desk!)



If you are wondering what this is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out.

Have a great week everyone, hopefully I'll get a bit more crafting and blogging done now the weather has gone a bit cooler!

    Can't say pigs ears appeal, no. I will take your word for it lol. Love the shots of your desk.

    Your desk is far more appealing than the pigs ears. Makes me SO glad I'm a vegetarian! Happy WOYWW.

    Love your organisation here!

    Have to say I've never heard of 'iffits' and not sure I want to lol but as someone said above your workspace is a nice distraction from them!

    Your desk looks fab,..certainly not a pig's ear... yuk, couldn't eat one of those I am afraid... mind you, what is porky scratchings...maybe the piggy's ears wouldn't be so bad after all ROFL

    I like those thin pull out drawers. I think it would be much more useful for storing paper than the large drawer I cram all of mine into. I bet I could find drawers like that at an office supply store - is that where you got those? Also, I love the food picture. Before I clicked it, I wondered, "now what is being made here?", after I saw it I knew: satisfaction.

    Great idea for teacher cards. Not sure about the pigs ears - we have some for the dog and they smell a bit too much for me! x

WOYWW 77

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 ...
