My desk is really trashed out towards the end of a project because I never seem to be able to stop long enough to get things put up. I like having everything close at hand and being able to just reach out and grab when I needed something. I had also hoped that it would help me to put things back but...no dice.
I have been working on a 12"x12" canvas using mostly Tim Holtz products for a class I was asked to do at WLS. I am not a floral type person and it has been a real struggle for me to step out of my comfort zone and try to do what I call 'girly' stuff. I can kind of, sort of, maybe combine a little grunge in with it and get it done but...not my forte! I am currently working on a bead fob to hang on the fob chain on the right.
This week has flown and it seems like I didn't get everything done that I wanted to do but I did get around to all the desks this week!! I really enjoy WOYWW and I am willing to give up a little housework to see what everyone else in cyber world is doing in the arts/crafts world. If you would like to see what I am talking about visit Julia's blog, Stamping Ground, she is the Queen Bee and leads this group in all sorts of fun things!
Okay, I am off to check out the other blogs. I am so addicted and need my fix of WOYWW! Check back tomorrow and I will have a couple finished projects up for you to view.
You've got a lot going on there ! Looks like you do flowers very well.

Did you say bargain? Just today I admitted on my blog to buying 3 of something I didn't really need, but they were cheap and cheerful, so I got an extra 2! I have also just re-organized my ribbon and I thought I had a lot till I saw this post of yours! Happy WOWYWW!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love your ribbons - yes, got to grab the bargains, for sure. Your desk looks great, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie, What a great space, and all i can say is you do flowers really well, what a lovely project, Thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteHi there Vickie I work in the same way, funny arent we? thanks for sharing, ad for popping over too happy WOYWW, Shaz in oz.x
ReplyDeleteWow your postman has been busy, it's lovely getting post that isnt a bill!! As for your canvas-grunge girly is working for you, I think it looks great.
ReplyDeleteWell, considering you don’t do girly stuff as you call it, you’ve done a great job with those flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe canvas is looking stunning and I love the colours and the way you’ve arranged the flowers.
Happy Crafting!

Oh yes, I'm a ribbon hoarder myself, why buy three when you can have ten!! That's an incredibly busy desk and overall work area, does it ever overwhelm you? I think I might be stuck deciding what to choose from!

I love how you store your ribbons. :) Great canvas. Doesn't show you struggled with it.
ReplyDeleteHi ya
ReplyDeletelovely crafty space, all those lovelt tidy ribbons, yummy, gorgeous canvas there, thanks for the mooch, happy WOYWW, sue,x
I love ribbons! My DH made me a cabinet to house all my ribbons. He made it a lot bigger than all the ribbons I had at the time, saying that I would never run out of space now - how wrong was the poor men? I need another one now. LOL
ReplyDeleteLoving the canvas!
Happy WOYWW
wow this is one creative space.....thanks for the crafty snoop..hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteI love bargains, yeahhhh..... The lay out is very pretty. Not too girly, but just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Marjolein
Love your space and your storage methods ...when I last had a sort I too thought that, if things had homes I'd put them away ...who was I kidding lol. Ireally must not go out on a Wednesday ...throws me out and I get so behind with woywwing.
ReplyDeletebtw ...I love that ticket card below.
Re school ...England and Scotland are very different and I am just getting to grips with the rules in Scotland. They have to spend atleast one year in nursery(4-5) but most try for two(as soon as they can get a place after 3) and even three years if there is some problem (like Robbie) ...but only half days. They can go into primary one the Sept after their 5th birthday (which most do)but if they are in the younger half they are offered that extra year in nursery to help them, especially if the teachers feel it would be helpful ...I think thats how it works lol
Fun 12x12, love the shaped you've started with, It'll all fall into place as being very lovely. I love to see that others have a Big mess sometimes. I try to be organized but sometimes the area is out of control. Enjoy WOYWW and have fun with your project
ReplyDeleteLove the canvas - and I may just have to pinch the ribbons-on-curtain-rods idea for my reels too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
The curtain rod storage is an inspired idea:) Your canvas looks petty good to me, even if you don't do girly!
ReplyDeleteFor not liking it... you did a fabulous page! I think it's really gorgeous. And I like how you have everything you need so close at your work space.
ReplyDeleteare there really people out there that only buy one?
ReplyDeleteI like your girly flowers, and I had a darned good rummage in the image, some fine stuff there is in that flower project
Ribbon heaven .... and your canvas is looking very nice in deed. I am like a moth to the light and now will have to check out the author you suggested.
ReplyDeleteWe all love a bargain especially a crafty one. My desk is never tidy too...far to busy creating to tidy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your craft space, love all those ribbons.
Happy crafting, Erika.
love your desk and that everything is close at hand. Nice project on your table.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog.
