What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 398

My work area is rather cluttered. I do not craft at a desk I sit on the sofa and balance things mostly precariously. I've been making boxes for a few days so they're piled up. My 'in-tray' has overflowed. I need another stacked on top as storage really. Dan dragon sits here because that's where I put my hairband so I know where it is 😏.

There's always little trays with bits and bobs in. I'm very much feeling the call of finding some new bits as I want to copy my friend Sy's canvas covered notebook with inky bits on. Share your space on Julia's blog here.

Well here we go again.

Well here we go again, finally back to see other's spaces on WOYWW. I've been wanting to return to my blog for a while but got consumed by other social media sites, as you do.
What's on my workdesk? Firstly this corner of the living room is where I have stuff and has just slowly become the workspace lol (my crafty stuff lives mainly in another room).
I've been crocheting granny squares for a new blanket. I have a bakelite box of buckles I like to design patterns with. Charity shop finds feature too.

Crochet on a card.



I've been trying to think of how to update my blog and decided to show a card from 2013 with crochet elements on it. Crochet and knitting is something I've done a lot of since my last post but projects have seemed to be neverending! I am close to completing a blanket and a scarf.

 

Cards made home and away

I had to finish making two birthday cards while I was away for five nights recently. Both for girls, one a young'un and the other erm not so young!



and this one is for my father-in-law

I'm not a huge fan of father's day. It's painful as so close to my late father's birthday too. I do miss the bond we had. He loved cherries at this time of year so I've got them in to munch.

W.O.Y.W.W. No.209

This is my roller desk shot for What's on your workdesk wednesday? My desk is a dumping ground as always, rarely sat at mostly hovered over. There is a recent acquisition on the top shelf of bookcase that sits on top of the desk. An M&S decorative tile I found in a local charity shop. I like it a lot as it mirrors my main inspiration for artyness, that is flowers.



More cards really?

A friend asked me to make some Easter cards for her earlier this year. It was a bit of a challenge for me to complete in the short period of time I had but I was pleased with the results. I didn't have to buy supplies I just used my stash and that was fun. My in-laws celebrated their wedding anniversary too which had a black and white theme, so it was carefully chosen imagery for that. I only had to buy a Kanban overlay just because it was such a perfect match from the dress on the day.



What's on your workdesk wednesday? #194

I haven't taken part in W.O.Y.W.W. for over 3 months. I have missed it though and was determined to get back to it. Thankfully my son's having an unusually early nap today so can try anyway to blog. Sometimes life can just get in the way of this blogging business can't it! 

Pictured is my crafting area where sadly I don't get to sit at. As you can see there's not really room for a chair. I must try and do something about that and the space defo needs another clear out. The kawaii style bag has dies and embossing folders in. I love my orange knitting needle box. It came from a junk shop. I had a yellow one when I was younger but my mum got rid of it so this was such a happy find. 

The card is what I made for last weeks 'Valentine time'.
