It's WOYWW Again!

I really do wonder where the days go. When I was little, minutes were hours, hours were days and days...well, they took ages! Monday morning at school was groanably slow and Friday seemed to be somewhere half way across the other side of the world!
What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, has, without a doubt become a cult, it grows every week, it's addictive, so much so, I had to rush into to my crafty room and remove old cups of cold tea, bowls of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, and plates of chocolate bisqwits, then push things back so I could at least see my bench (bench rather than desk as it's made of MDF or is that MFI??)
I'm actually still doing most of my crafting in the living room on the dining table but that (even tho it was tidied away for Sunday lunch) is now even messier than I care to admit to! I can hear myself saying, "Agh! It's got to be tidier than that, I have to take pictures!" Hubby, who has been wondering for some time now, what colour our living room carpet was, thinks it's all very strange as he tunes in to Create and Craft to see what all the fuss is about! So, anyway, here's a few pictures of my crafty space late last night (as this is on timer and I'm most probably wrestling with six chickens, two dogs and a hoover!
1) The first Picture..my new 'frog' punch and the freebie Laura Ashley calendar I found while tiding up. And my 4th Tesco jar for ribbons! (bargain £1)
2) A new Tilda on the little shelf at the back. Her face is too blotchy , the one that's been there for weeks and weeks is now on a card even tho I wasn't going to use her as her arm had 'bled'
3) Little frogs (the punch is really rubbish and won't last long) The pink Lady ATC was made on My Craft Studio...I've only got the freebie version and all my add ons were freebies too. There's some shaker toppers, as I want to make a shaker ATC .
4) I took a close up of the 3D foam squares because of the price! 69p from Trago Mills. (Cornwall) Here, in Hampshire, I have to pay 99p to £1.20!!(rotters!) for the same thing! Don't look at the mermaid, I don't like her eyes...and her head's too big!! And I had to do her boobs again cos they were all wrong, although hubby thought they were ok! So!!! If you want to join in, take a few pictures of wherever you craft, the floor, the hayloft, the shed, anywhere!! and hop over to Julia's, Stamping Ground blog, or just come for a visit!! It's world wide now you know!!!
Ps. Thank you Julia for 'linking' me last week!

  6. Hi there...Loved looking at all your stash and had to chuckle at your 'hubby not knowing what colour the carpet is anymore'
    I am a bit smug at the moment looking at all the cluttered desks and hearing all the groans about not being tidy. I had a good clear out a few weeks ago and turned my craftroom back into a clear dining space! It's working for me and I feel so much better when I craft!

  11. Am loving the idea that you rush around collecting the empties before you can photo for WOYWW! It is also of huge interest to me that you use your foam ds fromthe bottom up....there must be a psychiatrist that would love to make a study of the reasons for our habits!

  17. Oh how fun! It's fun to see that other people have multiple half started things and discards that may get used in the future all layered, this all looks very familiar to me LOL! Happy crafting.

  18. The mermaid looks great to me! Poor Tilda, blotchy face and bleeding arm :( Liked that you had Tilda and another figure in amongst the stamps. What are the flowery things? Is that your wedding pic? - close-up please :) hehe had to laugh at your 'code'

  23. Wow Spyder. I love it that you have such a sweet and understanding husband. You have a lot of punches, and I'm sorry to hear the little frog isn't going to last long. I have some like that, too. You end up beating on them to get them unstuck and try everything in the world to make them work one more time.

    Thanks for letting me snoop Have a happy WOYWW while wrestling 6 chickens, two dogs and a hoover. At least hubby will know the color of the carpet.

  24. Hi Lyn, wow still a bit messy but you are getting there love at least it shows you work hard.

  36. When I finish reading your posts, I usually have a smile on my face.

    I hated punches as they either didn't work for me or ... they died after 6 or 7 goes ....until I found MS ...shame they are so pricey.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Loving your workspace...I think a trip to Tesco might be called for those jars are a fab idea!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Love love your workplace. I was sooo eying all your stamps...and punches. Awesome.

  39. I really like your stamp storage. I have a basket on my desk & I rotate the contents for the different seasons - but the shelves you have would be nice to see everything without having to dig.
    Have a great day!

  45. I think this WOYWWing is turning into a spot the storage idea trip for me already. First Promarkers, now ribbons...love the shelves of stamps, Lyn. I must show mine one week - no, I must make myself a reminder note to show my stamp storage one week! Memories!

    Your blog is a veritable crafter's resource - did I say that last week? Very likely but no less true.
