WOYWW #155

It has been a busy week around here with a lot going on over the past couple weeks.  We are currently in the throes of renovating a bathroom that had been over run with the termites and they had damaged the wood support and caused the shower to start leaking.  Imagine a wall that came across here and a small door for the shower...we are enlarging the shower and putting glass doors in place and the whole room will look larger and more functional!  I will post another picture as time goes on.

 

 Here is my desk this week.  It has a lot of stuff on it that needs to be put away.  There is a lot of stuff that has been there for a long time too that has yet to find a permanent home.  I need to get busy and get organized cause I feel so claustrophobic recently with all the stuff piling up!  As you can see  there are a lot of stamps and papers piled up but I haven't really been all that busy crafting just not putting away very readily.

 This is my favorite toy in the room of doom...my Vagabond!  Love it.  Makes life so easy cutting out multiple die cuts and it cuts through chipboard and grunge board without hesitation!

Well that's it for me for this week.  Join in with WOYWW this week and check out Julia's blog to find out how.

  4. It will be wonderful to have your bathroom all finished. We aim to start renovating our farmhouse this year, but at least we do not have to live in it whilst the work is being done. Only seen a Vagabond once briefly on the television. Happy WOYWW. Ali x #43

  10. Vagabonds and Big shots! It's all a mystery to me.
    You have so much stuff there Vickie you're obviously having such fun.
    Well when the shower alterations are complete. You need to be made of strong stuff in my book when you have reno work happening around you ;D
    Good Luck with it all....Enjoy escaping on the desk hop and thanks for popping over to my place. Neesie #11

  12. Hi again, Vicky!
    Lots of allergies also here! There has been more birch pollen than for years - plus all others... Even those, who are not allergic for birch have got symptoms!
    But no termites...

  15. Hi Vicky - termites? How terrible for you and what a lot of work has had to be done - hope you soon get it all finished and back to normal. As for the desk, well, I think you can be forgiven for not putting things away with all that has been going on.
    Love my Vagabond too!
    Take care and don't do too much - Hugs, Neet #25

  18. I like the looks of that new bath. I look forward to updates.

    I confess I've heard so many bad things about the Vagabond I would probably never buy one, even if I had the money for it (grin). Thanks for the visit and stay cool yourself! Missed you last week. Happy WOYWW from #9.

  19. Hey Vickie! You're either up late or early! Cause it's only 3 am in OK right now (I know!)
    Termites... ugh! Just went through major renovation on our bathroom in the old house in Indy. Nice for the person who buys it. We will never get to enjoy our efforts.
    I haven't visited in a few weeks (my bad/loss) LOVE your OZ book!!!!! You should be proud it is awesome!!!!
    Hope you're feeling well and get to craft some more goodies soon!
    Hugs!

  21. Ooh termites, don't envy you those little creatures. Love your messy desk but - hate to say it- maybe a little tidy would help - having said that, I love mine when it is messy. I would love a Vagabond but have an electronic Big Shot and it works a dream so I need to be satisfied with that. Happy WOYWW, Anne #18

  22. Termites sound like a nightmare to me so I hope you get rid of them and are sorted soon. Thoughts of them munching up my craft stuff.... eeeeeekk!!!

  24. Hope your renovations go smoothly and you manage to get rid of those terrible termites!

    Would love a Vagabond but will have to make do with my big shot for now because funds just won't allow I'm afraid.

    Thanks for sharing,

  26. The thought of termites in the house makes me itch, thank goodness we don't have them in my part of the world. Busy desk this week, hope you get rid of the unwanted visitors before they start on your desk.

  30. It's hard to put things away when they don't have a place to go!! Good luck with the tidy up, I felt a lot more free when I'd finished my tidy.

  31. Good luck with the new bathroom, it's always great to change up things but one thing leads to another. Patience..
    same for the pile ups on our desks..we must slow down quite a bit as we age, either that or my 2 sons did a lot more than I gave them credit for yrs back. Oh..been thinkin on the Vagabond my Big Shot has been around since the beginning and I cut much thicker things now...will it work on fabric???
    Have a great week..thanks for stopping by, I'm glad to be home and hope for some Creative TIME...WIND here is permitting me to be inside. WOW...had to take the flag down and suppose more sticks to pick up in the offing.
    Happy WOYWW and I can't wait for ATC's!!!!

  32. I envy you your bigger, better bathroom - mine is small and also needs doing! Fortunately I don't have a load of termites in mine..at least none that I know of :) Hope you are ok,
    Hugs, LLJ #57 xx

  33. I hate it when the piles take over all the good space. I had to chuckle at your description that some things had not yet found their permanent home. I have a lot of that, mostly because I have run out of permanent home space. Also, I hate to put things away out of sight because I forget I have them then and most of the stuff piled on my desk now is new--not yet played with. It needs a trail run before being put someplace else methinks!

  38. Eww, I hope you get rid of those nasty termites. My mum had a hard time with those little creatures, all gone now, but hard to get rid of.
    That is one very creative desk right now and that big machine would save heaps of time and energy.
    Have a great week.
