Did you miss me? Probably not, I didn't miss me either LOL but thats ok. Whew how time flies, the last WOYWW I played in was Nov 11. To tell you the truth my desk has been a huge mess since then and I had nothing to show, so I stayed away. I took these photos on Saturday and did a humungous clean up over 2 days and many hours of sore legs and back from standing up so long.
Before and after photos of the dining table/craft desk.
Now look at it, had a new sheet of paper and is spick and span and the tell tale signs that I am having people over to craft.
My cutting station and the desk by the door has been another dumping ground. Hubby was disgusted by it hahaha. What is his problem, it's not like he has to work in here. He only walks past all the tables and goes to the toilet and probably checks on me to see if I am alive hahahaha.
Joining Julia's Stamping Ground for more desks around the world
I have missed you. I need to get motivated as well but I'm leaving that for next week when school starts back.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you Bridget but just assumed you were very busy; good to hear from you.
ReplyDeletelike you i.ve not joined in for a while , but hoping to that right now . I've missed not getting together with everyone on here , but life sometimes gets in the way.

I did miss you Bridget - what an amazing space your have, and an awesome amount of stash to fill it with :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings

yes, we missed you!! Love how industrious you've been tidying your fabulous studio! You were super quick off the mark linking this morning! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteWooooh, what a great tidy up. I enjoyed your funny post!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing workspace. You've certainly been busy with your tidying. Enjoy a week of crafting now. Linda #17
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget, pleased to see you back. We don't care how untidy you are in fact I like it, makes me feel better that I'm not the only one Lol! Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 15
ReplyDeleteI'm still on with my huge clearing and organising session. I've given myself the whole of January to do it. It's on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLynn #11
Wow .... what a space! But glad I am not the only one attempting a sort and reorganisation!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you share on woyww!

That was a good job, it looks so much better now!, well done you :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 10 xx
You have the most amazing work space - so much of it - and of course that means when it all gets out of hand you have double the amount of tidying and organizing than most people have!! You are doing a great job! Thanks so much for stopping by my desk (I sometimes frame my little collages and sell them, but more often than not they go in an old suitcase full of finished work and are never seen again!), I hope you have a great week,
ReplyDeleteDiana #20
It's good to see you back joining in the fun. You've done a brilliant job with your sort up and tidy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs,
Annie x #9
It's always good to RE-arrange...my problem is it takes a long time to find something that was just right there. You have a good sized space, no matter it always seems to be overwhelming...and I am glad it is not just me. I had the urge to re do when I got out Valentine items but takes too long and I miss creating..has been so cold here my crafty area wasn't so fun to be in. Have a great week #33
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a huge difference! Now you can stretch your legs (a bit) in between crafting, ha! Enjoy your clean space and happy crafting! Happy woyww and a hug from Holland, Marit #41
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your workspace! Mine has to move around from room to room dependent on what I'm doing. Glad you're back in the swing. Thanks for popping by earlier x Jackie 32
ReplyDeleteWhata fabulous space you have! Great for crafting with all your stash. Take care Zo xx 39
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun having loads of stuff isn't it. My studio is a mess right now but at least I can find things, if I tidy things will be lost and I will have to spend ages looking for stuff. Enjoy your crafting, your friends will have a great time in your studio. Jill #21
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget, lovely to see you back. It's so easy to start dropping stuff onto a table, rather than putting it away. isn't it? Then it becomes a major job to tidy. I know, I keep doing it! Have a great week, hugs, Shaz #16 xx
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been a busy girl!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have been missed, but over the holiday period we have all been busy with other things...so it's great to see you back (I've been missing too)
Thanks for visiting already,
Have a good week,
Lisca
Wow I love the before and after pictures! Your desks look very busy.
ReplyDeleteSharon K #52
Wow - that's an awesome space.... I'd love to come and potter in your den! I spy a gorgeous chest lurking under one of your tables too....
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today Morti #18
Transformations all around - such a difference!
ReplyDeleteMisti is a great stamping tool. It enables you to stamp in the same place time and time again so is great for solid images that you normally don't get good coverage on, or for batch cards where you want to make lots of the same and line them up. Look at "My Sweet Petunia" for details - can recommend. Tell her I sent you.
Hugs and thanks for the visit - Neet 3 xx
I did miss you, Bridget, and it is nice to see you back. I think it is the nature of crafting that to make something a mess has to be the result! And you have such a large craft room with so many surfaces you get to make more mess :) You've clearly worked really hard - bet your husband is impressed by your newly organised craft room. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #48
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget,
ReplyDeleteI've been MIA like you. Sometimes life gets in the way (with me it's also work) and we have to prioritize. It's nice that you have friends you can craft with. That's one thing that is lacking for me. There is a knitting shop in town and people go there during certain times to visit and knit, which I plan to start doing.
Congrats on being Number One!
Happy WOYWW
Peace,
Kay (12)
PS. Love the postcard of the poppies.
ReplyDeleteKay
another WO - come do mine! Looks SO tidy :) I just want to mess it up ;) Thanks for the earlier visit . Have a great week.Soojay
ReplyDeletei meant wow
ReplyDeleteWow all these photos give a really good sense of scale to your craft room. Thanks for sharing and welcome back. Happy crafting, Max #29 :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely busy space you have. Well done for your tidying however long it may last! Elaine
ReplyDeleteOf course we missed you. I assumed it was all the Christmas occasions and preparations. You've done an amazing job at tidying up, that box under your cutting station looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget, You sure have been busy. What a lovely space for all your crafting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Definitely missed you Bridget, but it looks like you've been busy. Everyone seems to be having a spring clean this week. I spotted that chest under your cutting station too, it looks beautifully carved.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier. It's hard to think you are warm and sunny when we are still shivering. I think I need to spend half the year in Australia and half here and then it'd be summer all the time, perfect!!
Hugs Lisax #14
Happy WOYWW - and congrats on the No.1 spot. You are away for a while and then come back and beat us all ! Great clearing job. It is so satisfying isn't it? Ali x #45
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, can't say I missed you sorry as I have only just joined 2 weeks ago. I can relate to your tables and underneath I have boxes all over our house even under the bed with craft material.
ReplyDeleteCrafty hugs Pen x #61
what a transformation :) It totally looks ready for you to play again :) ~Stacy #64
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! Thanks so much for stopping by earlier - I'm a fairly recent addition to the WOYWW family, so it's lovely to 'meet' you. You have a fantastic workspace and it's even more impressive now that it's tidy and you can see what you have! Enjoy it!

Boy you did do a huge clean-up! Looking good girl! Glenda #31
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tidy up you've got going on there! When you've finished you can pop over and help me out!
ReplyDeleteBernice #69
You have been busy! now you have all that wonderful space to start creating. Diane 70
ReplyDeleteHi Briget! Yay! I have missed some, but not that much! :) You sure have lots of workspace when it is cleaned off! #68
ReplyDeleteWow Bridget, you've got an amazing space there. Love the before and after pics. I've been on that journey in my studio too recently and was MIA for a while too! It's good to get organised again, isn't it. Thank you for your nice comment. The brainless knitting makes slow progress, and I hope to use the chicken packaging texture once my mojo returns!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #43
wow, what a big craft room you have, fantastic. you put in a lot of effort but is shows and it will be more pleasant to create now. Vicky#66
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge store you have there to play in and lol about your hubby checking on you everytime he goes by to use the washroom hugs Nikki 8
ReplyDeleteGreat clean up Bridget, now you can come start on my dumping ground too. :)

Welcome back and what a transformation to your craft space...feel free to pop over to the UK if you feel the need to clean some more :-)
