Is it just me or are the weeks flying by now?? I spotted something in the Michaels sale this week that I’d like and I told my husband he can put it by for me for Christmas!! It’s three months until the “C” Day and yet I’m already thinking about what I’d like to get! Lol, he told me to go and buy it as he just doesn’t what to think about that right now!
So, the desk. Since you last visited here I’ve made quite a few cards, six in fact, which is quite a few for me at any rate. And the big question is, is it tidy? Or has she truly lost the plot and stepped over to the other side, hmmm? I’ll let you be the judge of that!
For me it’s a complete tip, I know for some of you this would be regarded as clean and tidy heaven and you’d never manage it in a month of Sundays! There was quite a flurry of activity going on…. from the top right in a clockwise direction…… paper scraps scattered about, inked up images of a PB Christmas stamp, a tube of Martha Fine Glitter, tin of pencils, list of challenges still left to enter, stamping block, clear stamps, stripey/dotty card, dst and scissors, the greyish panel with stripes is the back of main panel for the stripey/dotty card!, mouse mat for stamping on, Cropodile tool, box of brads, scissors, box of stamping blocks behind scissors, pile of Distress Inks that seem to have taken up residence, pink water container, old pasta jar with Memento inks in it and on the window cill, two of the finished cards. And like so many crafters, it looks like I’m down to a small section of my craft mat to work on. I was also asked last week about the mug that lives on my desk, it’s used for water colouring. I might have even moved up to a 3 in Kate’s Messy Scale this week! But did I clear it all up I hear you all asking???? Well, I guess you’ll just have to wait until next week to find out!
Wednesday is What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday if you’re wondering! You can pop over to see Julia, who organises us all each week, via the WOYWW button on the right. It’s great fun, snooping around the craft spaces of amazing artists the world over (I’m not one of them BTW!), the projects people are working on are truly inspiring and we all craft differently, in our own way and in our own space, be it a tiny corner, a palatial craft room or even your driveway! We see it all on WOYWW, won’t you join us??

Your husband sounds like a real gem!
Those scissors look pretty special to have their own case fitted out so that they fit snugly and are totally protected! One is impressed!

Pam said:
Hi Hon, this is very untidy for you!!!!! Lots of nice paper on there like the stripey one with the dots on the reverse. My son already has a ‘C’ list as long as his arm my OH has bought part of his own ‘C’ present already, me I’m just burying my head n the sand and ignoring it!!!! Hugs Pam

Do you bring the water up to drink because it’s too much trouble to go fetch or is it to replenish the painting water? I don’t know about lost the plot, but this does look like you’ve let hair down a bit!!
Jo. Thomas said:
Hi Brenda, Had a bad evening with Blogger keep getting error when commenting so hope you get this. Thanks for popping over to my blog, yes its really funny but I made the card up and I have a stamp that says A diet is a cake in each hand he he. So you read my mind, this card is now finished but I couldn’t show because when I put it together its for my best friend and its really naughty all over even with that stamp on it. Love your desk its really organised you have everything to hand.My number link was 55 I do think this will help the others now. Bye for now Hugs JO.xxx

Oooh what was the find in Michaels?? we need to know! looks like a very tidy desk to me! The cards you have made are lovely too. Thanks for commenting on my blog – I have always called my Mom “Mom” but I am English born and bred – just one of those things I guess.

Well to me it’s a mess in a tidy work space. I don’t think you’ve gone over to dark side, yet. That’s one BIG container of glitter. I have never seen one that big at my Michaels. I had to look for the stamping blocks, though. I finally saw them.
Looks like I started something by crafting in my driveway. I got a laugh at that. I have never considered myself a trend setter (grin). It’s still HOT here. Mid 90s F this week, but it’s supposed to cool to the high 80s soon. I’m SO ready for cooler weather. Glad yours has cooled some.
peggy said:
you have a really nice (and still tidy to me) desk and i love those printed boxes. imagine, scissors in a case and they actually get returned into the case! good job!
Kay said:
To me it’s pristine!! Why does everyone keep mentioning the C word?!! I’m trying to pretend it’s not getting closer, leave me to my delusions! Sorry I’m late, blogger wouldn’t play yesterday
Sarah said:
It might be messy by your own standards but to me it looks like the desk of an industrious crafter
Christine said:
I actually like ‘C’!! I love this time of year when we are building up to it. I’m a tidy crafter so I know what you mean when you say it is messy by your standards. I try to tell myself that if it only takes 5 minutes to clear up then it’s not truly a mess! 🙂 Christine (Link No. 5)

Hi there Brenda, looks really tidy to me:) If I’d made six cards I promise there would be much more mess!
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog!
You’re quite right about the TH tickets, just it would’ve been nice:0)xx

Thanks for the comment about my cards – the paper I used was Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses – its gorgeous! xx
Rach said:
Thank you for the blog comment 🙂 I am exactly the same with pointing out presents! But after the transformation of my craft space by the BF it doesnt feel quite right asking for anymore … well just yet lol!

helen said:
It IS tidy – I judge mine to be untidy when I can no longer see the desk top, or when there are LAYERS – eeek! Let’s face it, the tidier your workspace, the less you’ve got going on in it! ;D

I’d say it’s so-so tidy, not too bad. You can get creative right now and that’s the important thing, right? – Carola, 112
SuzanneBrookfield said:
Hi Brenda, your desk looks “busy”,,,,and thats cool! Your husband sounds one in a million. x
Anne said:
Oh yes, I dream of tidiness like that!
I’m dying to know what you’ve bought… I have to say, generally I’m with your husband on his thoughts on the C-word, but I have found myself beginning to think about it these past couple of weeks. Sigh. It seems like we only just finished with the last one!
Sarah Youde said:
I love my space to be tidy but it does get messy while I am working, I always tidy it up between projects because I can’t stand the mess lol. I love looking at other peoples messy desks though they are so inspiring.

Hey! I do consider this pretty neat, considering everything that’s going on! lol, yeah those flower packs were a good deal huh? and guess what? I went back and bought some more! I couldn’t resist. lol, I have those exact same storage boxes on the far right of your picture. The blue and pink one and the one with all the different flower prints. Not the rose one…but it does look pretty too! I’m thinking we have similar tastes. thanks for visiting my desk;)

Rachel said:
Sure, for me it looks so tidy there’s practically nothing there, but messiness is like beauty: in the eye of the beholder! I hope you get a chance to tidy before it drives you insane!
patsy said:
Hi Brenda,
What you say is so true! Isn’t it lovely to have the chance to see so many different desks each week?
So many ideas, so many creative personalities and art on display! And if your desk is not as neat as usual,
that’s wonderful too! :^)Patsy from HeARTworks
