What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday #125
I have forgotten to tell you all about who started this
For the first time I have been able to bloghop
to a few links and leave comments.
I hope to visit all the blogs in the links to say thanks for
their eye candy and wonderful ideas.
I actually look forward to Wednesdays now
(today is Monday and I'm already
wanting it to be Wednesday LOL)

So I did promise some of you that I would show you (shock horror!!) the rest of my craft space other than the dining table which in this case is the floor underneath and the side table where everything else is stored. But there is story as to why its like this and has been for the past year~story at end
So now I can show you what I've been working on the past couple of weeks, it was a Christmas card swap which I was hosting on BSL, an online craft group.
I needed a magnifying glass to cut otherwise my eyes go all blurry after awhile and it's very annoying,
I have glasses but they don't seem to stop the blurrying
Come back and visit my next post with a Christmas ornament
and a blog hop of the same to see some great ideas
Love the space! Under my desk has that much love too! LOL! It looks like you had some interesting piecing going on for that card swap! Thanks for sharing and happy WOYWW! -Amanda
ReplyDeleteLovely busy desk there! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are really busy. I read your last post too and love the Xmas card and the colours. Is it a difficult one to make? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBye, Franka
That would be very nice. Especially when it's not so very difficult :-D You can find my email on my blog when you klick on the type writer.
ReplyDeleteBye, Franka
what a fabulous space - would love all that room! Looking very busy and creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing today! Sarah at 5.
Great to see an honest expose of a creative mess. Not bad there and certainly full of creative interest. Love the ornament result too.

If you fancy doing a swap... I'll send some old lace in return for something you have lots of or no longer need and maybe an ATC or a tag too! Just let me know. x
It's a great desk, with lots of cool stuff going on. As for storing things on the floor, why not? Where else should you store things? The floor should think itself lucky to be used in such a way!
ReplyDeletetake care, rachel #21
Great pic - makes me feel good to see other crafters making use of floor/chair/table space!
ReplyDeleteAh, now that is a true crafters domain right there! I'm having trouble with cutting out and any close up fiddly work these days, but I think that I just need a trip to the opticians!

Wow, what a lot of stash lol!! I have trouble with my eyes too some days, its sooo frustrating!! Unfortunately I don't find the magnifying glass much help :0(. Thanks for popping by to see me today. Cindy #26
ReplyDeleteMe again!! Forgot to answer your question Bridget. No didn't make my ATC holder thingy, it was a couple of quid in a cheap store. I did buy it originally thinking I could make a fancy bottom and have it as a giveaway but I never got around to it (the 'bottom' is just a white cube). I think it is supposed to hold photos and works quite well with ATCs as long as they are not too heavy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like my kitchen right at this moment LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing how it is!!!
Keep smiling and creating
My space looks like yours quite a bit. Trying to get it cleaned up and organized though!
ReplyDeleteA space after my own heart...lol love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek and sharing, xoxo Marjo
looks like you have been really busy and I was glad to see that magnifying glass and light as I couldn't live without mine... hate being half blind... enjoyed my first visit and happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteI love all that 'mess'! Means work is being done! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have creative MESS cant beat it am going throguh withdrawals for crafting been too busy etc to do it - sigh.. but love your maybe eyes need re-testing.. ie not glasses but eyes have changed? Happy WOYWW Shaz in oz.x
ReplyDeletePs not sure if you knew but your word verification is turned on?? prob do but some folks dont and personally I struggle with it - but here I go again...
I also use all the space around the floor. And I could not do without my Ottlite - that enables me to do without the magnifier most of the time.
ReplyDeleteOooh what a glorious, messy, creative, wonderful, colourful space! Love it!! Thanks for the comments on my blog. Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #84
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget - thanks for your comment on my blog! Actually, it may look like a small space to work on my desk, but there's just a lot of stuff on it - it's quite big really! I also have my brown table (on the bricks lol!) beside it, and I've got plenty of room!
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! My whole craft room is like that! I really need to take some time out to see what's in all my bags and boxes! Happy weekend! Patsy from

It doesn't look THAT messy to me! Happy late WOYWWED!
ReplyDeleteLOL - did I miss where the story isas to why your room is like that and has been for a year? Lots of lovely stash there, and the things you're working on look really interesting - will have to pop back properly soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! I'm sorry it took me so long to come and comment back for WOYWW. I love your workspace!! And so what if it's a little messy...it just makes it cozy and more creative!!
ReplyDeleteYou asked me a question in your comment about how to make the glimmer mists...I found a small little spray bottle (holds maybe 3 or 4 ounces) at a Target (or most any variety store should do) and I filled it about 4/5 of the way with water, than I filled the bottle the rest of the way (leave a little room to shake it though) with metallic acrylic craft paint. The brand I used here is called Folk Art, but any brand would work as long as it's really shiny paint. The water makes it sprayable and dulls down the color a little, so dark colors work really well, but I think any color would do.
Thanks for stopping by!!
