What's on your workdesk wednesday? (no.178)

My shot for What's on your workdesk wednesday? is from my lap. It shows my little bits of pearl paper scraps am using to make snowflakes for Christmas cards. Alas is still at a design stage. I was reading last night the intro. to the summer edition of  'Where Women Create' magazine. It was very apt for woyww'ers as begged the question are you a dreamer or a maker? I myself wish to be a proper maker but concede to in reality being a dreamer. So what are you? Go over to Julia's blog for everything woywwy!

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday to anyone who is taking the time and trouble to visit me. I decided to share a picture of one of the drawers in my roller desk this time. My work tops are never permanent ones as I seem to do everything from the sofa.

      

Here are some old pages from my Xmas folders to inspire me. This year I want to 'upcycle' designs and things for my xmas cards. The last picture shows I have made a start on cutting up paper to develop the design in a pearlescent option. My new cutting matt is there. I moved it from the sofa last night as The Scribbler goes mad for my paper. 



The card design is from Carolines website I think? but I honestly can't remember.

So what's on your workdesk wednesday? has come round again. I've been knitting and papercrafting which you can see here. The work area isn't very interesting at the mo but I think it will be jazzier once xmas cards get made. I bought some Ranger goodies last week (woyww 170), so even though was not able to get on pc I was being crafty! Have a look at other people's desks, spaces etc. via Julia Dunnit's blog. I will be.

W.O.Y.W.W. No.169

Well hello, it's What's on your workdesk wednesday? time again. I've been away which explains my absence. Nanny had her little pickle and I managed to take a video of him drawing. Yay so proud but then he is his arty parents offspring so it would be very rude of him to not be a scribbler. Here are my piccies of my worktop (in living room) and my latest crafty purchase on my storage desk (in my bedroom!). My bedroom is my shame because it is never tidy, hence why only honed in on the item. The mound of mess below is naughty indeed. I am currently paper crafting, got a few unfinished atc's and teabag folding projects to do. I am also being very good in cutting up piles of magazines, even craft ones. This is very uncharacteristic of me and am sure will be back to being bad very soon.

My new item is some washi tape from paperchase, the heart border one seen above. I found an ideal pole to hold my tape in those things shops put in new footwear. What more reason do I need then to buy new shoes he he.

The scribbler.

W.O.Y.W.W. no.166

I have been knitting mostly (yawn). I can feel the call of my paper but until I have achieved my blanket for my baby, I can't see the paper winning over the wool. Also been enjoying watching the Olympics especially last 'Super Saturday'.

I was given a whole heap of wool yesterday but realised a touch on the cheaper side so not sure what to do, whether will match my squares or make my blanket look odd when all sewn together?

My work area is looking a bit boring with folders and diary's. I am a bit of a colour queen, am all for anything patterned and pretty. Dear Ms Dunnit commented the other week on my love of Paperchase and am afraid the pictures do indeed show more evidence of this.

...and finally some inspiration points. Happy w.o.y.w.w. to one and all.



WOYWW no. 163

Hello Woyww'ers. Here are my piccies for this week. Not got a lot to say, my day isn't going great. When have finished here am gonna get a cup of tea and hope I don't get disturbed. Julia Dunnit is the boss of all things woywwy and there will be a long list of people's spaces to peek at. I do peek honest, mostly on my phone but then dont have time to comment. I am a bad girl for this.

The desk not worked on as is covered!

The surface i.e. sofa where am making things. Good and bad examples of Moss stitch.



Well I'm knitting a lot! (woyww no.162).

Well as I'm sitting here trying to post (before the monster wakes up) my throat feels bad again. It makes me sad but knitting has turned out to be my relaxing pastime and not papercrafting shock horror. So...that has been what's going on lately and not interesting things on a desk for woyww!! It's all been hidden away in a knitting bag. I've been away too, another reason for not posting.
You can see here my 'worm'. It wasn't meant to be a worm, it started flat but curled as I went. Am a basic knitter so I don't know why it happened. Have been doing crochet too but that's more frustrating for me. I prefer to use embroidery cottons but it's hard to see where you're going with the hook. My local craft shop tempted me yesterday with some multi packs of coloured cottons. I think they're intended for children but I love brighter ones. There was also some nice wool but am having to stick to my cheapy ball from The Range store...for now. Happy woyww to all or lap, bag whatever you are doing things on.
