WOYWW 288




As I lay in bed last night I started writing my WOYWW post in head.  When I got up this morning and read Julia's post it was pretty much the same!  It must get worse before it gets better, disorganisation and slight panic...  I've given up on the elusive tidy and will settle for tidier now.


Yesterday my carer helped to sort out some of my storage cupboard.  Hopefully today I'll manage to put away the mountain of desk detritus in to said cupboard.  Really I should be thankful that I have plenty and do not need anything, instead I whinge because I have no place to keep things and am genetically unable to be tidy.


Sigh, there is more on the floor too.

On a brighter note we've launched the promo for our 12 Days of Christmas event...


and I only have a little more to do on that front. 

Happy Deskday!

p.s. Postie has just delivered but I guess as I told you all I was going to tidy I have to.  I'd much rather play with my post!!  :)

  1. Hi Laura. I'm a great believer in life should be full of fun activities so leave the tidying up for another day 😃

  2. I really should be worrying and freaking out that I haven't accomplished what I needed to by now for the holidays--I've still a gingerbread house to bake too!--but I see everyone doing that, even our dear Julia so I'm just going to let it go! And I don't think your desk looks bad at all. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #56

  4. Hi Laura, I cannot work when my desk is untidy. I even tidy up each day even if I will be using the same things the next day. I know I am a neat freak:) LOL

    Happy WOYWW

  5. Never mind. I cannot be creative and tidy also. And I agree with you, there must be this genetic thing too. Some people love to be tidy others just can´t.
    Cheers

  7. While LLJ is having a riffle thru the ribbons I'll be riffling thru the buttons. Wouldn't that be nice you'll have company x 2. Put the kettle on. ;) I hope the postie delivery is something crafty related...now go play. Thanks for the earlier visit! Happy WOYWW! Nan G #53

  8. I haven't linked to WOYWW lately because my desk has been the same tidy I shared whenever I joined last (boring I know) but this week it is a disaster! And then I forgot all about WOYWW. We'll see what next week brings but the cats are starting to knock it all to the floor so it might be clean again. It is definitely difficult to be clean and creative. It doesn't really mix. The key is to be creative sometimes and clean the other. You have lots of fun things to play with! Look at that washi tape!!!

  9. I hope your postie brought you good news... or even some new stash! Then at some point you'll have to make room!
    Thanks for stopping by at my page.
    Have a lovely week (although it's no longer Wednesday...)

  10. I totally agree that two weeks before Christmas it's much more sane to shoot for tidier, rather than tidy. :-)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Re: your comment about having trouble with fingerprints in Fimo polymer clay. Fimo and Sculpey III are the two softest clays, and you WILL have trouble with fingerprints. If you care to try again, pick up some Premo, it's a much firmer clay.

    Happy woyww and happy creating!

WOYWW 159

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
