Hi Folks!

It's time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, the brainchild of Julia at Stamping Ground. If you want know more why not visit her blog and find out what it's all about.

I am cheating this week. What you see here is my desk on Tuesday evening. If I had waited until this morning to take my picture, then you would have nothing to look at but an empty desk!

Can you guess what Mrs Postie delivered to me? I know, too easy! I am a very happy bunny to be in possession of these lovely Tim Holtz Alterations dies. The flower you can see is made by simply layering the tattered florals which I first swiped with Victoria Velvet and Spun Sugar Distress Inks. The only extra is a Leonne Em punched stamen in the middle.

You can also see on my desk a work in progress sample card for Cuddly Buddly and a Christening card I have been asked to make. Last week I asked OH to take some of my cards into work with him to see if anyone wanted to buy any. I've sold three so far and am really chuffed! I'm donating 50% of the sale price to charity and keeping the other 50% to go towards replenishing materials.

Thank you for visiting my desk today, I look forward to popping by and visiting yours.

Hugs, Clare xx

I haven't taken part in Julia's phenomenal WOYWW for a couple of weeks now. I figured you might get bored seeing the same tidy desk week after week!!

Today I am proving to you that I do make a mess!

On the heat mat is my work-in-progress tag using some scrummy new colour TH inks.

The second photo shows what you see on the wall opposite my desk. I just have room to turn may chair between these storage units and my desk so everything is to hand without me having to get up.

I love the Really Useful Box storage unit on the lefthand side. In here I keep all my dewdrop ink pads, small punches, paper pads, SU! stamp and finished cards.

The really useful box on top of the unit in the middle holds all my 12" x 12" papers, it really is useful because the suspension files in it are slightly larger than 12" x 12".

On the very far left you can see some shirts waiting to be ironed! I wonder if they will get dealt with today.

I look foward to visiting your workspace today.

If you want to join in then visit Julia's blog by following the WOYWW link on my sidebar.

Have a great day!

Good morning,

Since I have started participating in Julia's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, a very strange thing is happening - it always seems to be Wednesday!! It only seems five minutes since last week's WOYWW post.

My mojo has taken a runner at the moment so I thought I would leave it wherever it is for a while and give it time to come back of it's own accord. To fill time I decided I would try and make some paper roses - here is my first attempt. I'm always making paper flowers, but I've never tried these before.

I don't have any 6 petal flower punches so I have used stamps which I cut out, pre-cut flowers and blossom nestabilities. The yellowy flower on the left is made from grunge paper and cut with blossom nesties - this one is my favourite.

Well that's my desk, albeit close-up. I thought I would also share some more of my craft room today. If I look right from where I sit, this is what I see.

Look at those shelves bowing! The bag at the bottom right is for my scrap paper which I recycle. It's a bit of a mess isn't it?

Since last week, I have been getting to grips with my new sewing machine and I love it. It's so easy to use which is ideal for me.

I look forward to visiting your workdesk this Wednesday.

Hugs, Clare x

Good afternoon WOYWW'ers.

Visit Julia's blog, to meet the lady behind WOYWW and to visit more Workdesks.

I am a very lucky girl. My mum has just given me this fantastic Brother SuperGalaxie Embroidery Sewing machine (I've told her I am just looking after it until she needs it back). I am a bit too scared to use it! It comes with loads of add on bits and a very complicated looking instruction book, along with hundreds of reels of beautiful threads. I know it isn't really complicated, I've used it before, but that was before I had "baby brains".

I hope to visit your workspace but please accept my apologies in advance if I don't make it as things around here are pretty hectic.

Happy WOYWW to you all.

Good morning,

It's time for what's on your workdesk Wednesday. Pop on over to Julia's blog to find out more.

Here is my work space being taken over by a budding crafter. He's got his own set of pencils in a pot just like Mummy's pencils. You can see mine at the back. I used to keep them in their tin and hardly ever used them. Now I've got them in a pot of my desk I use them a lot more.

You can also see on my desk an entry to Craft Stamper giveaways waiting to be posted, a spring card that is almost finished and evidence of my latest brayering.

I think I may need to get another chair in my room and clear some more workspace or I may never get in there again!

Happy Wednesday to you all, I look forward to visiting your desks.

Good morning,

It's time for What's on your workdesk Wednesday again. Pop on over to Julia's blog to find out more.

I cheated, if I had taken a photo today my desk would have been empty, so I took a picture mid-project during the week.

I have to admit that at this stage I stopped to tidy up before I continued working. This is very untidy for me!

I am beginning to feel there is something not quite right with me when I craft. I always stop to put away something I have just used, even if I have to get it out again two minutes later. I like everything stored within arm's reach to make it easier to get it out and put it away again.

I am working on a sample card here for Cuddly Buddly which I should be able to put on my blog next week.

I'm sorry I didn't get round to visiting everyone's WOYWW space last week, I will try harder this week.

Hugs, Clare xx

Hello,

It's my second week joining in with "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday".

If you want to join in and visit other crafters' workdesks then pop over to Julia's blog.

I was mid-project when I remembered to take the photographs. I can't show you what I am working on as it is a DT sample, so I've turned things over where necessary!

This is what you see when I swing my chair around. My sewing machine is stashed in the blue bag and all the drawers are filled with bits and bobs.

Enjoy your Wednesday and thank you for visiting my space.

Hugs, Clare xx

Good morning.

I thought I would join in with What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday this week. I always love it when other bloggers post pictues of their work areas.

My workspace is very tidy at the moment. That's because I went to Ikea on Saturday to get a few more storage implements which encouraged me to have a bit of a tidy up.

Ikea is so good for your health. I walked round twice as I couldn't find what I was looking for. I couldn't believe it when I realised I had been walking around for three hours!

Still out on my cutting mat is a card I made yesterday. I left it out overnight for the glue to dry.

Enjoy your Wednesday!
