Trying something new





What's on your workdesk wednesday or WOYWW is something I've just found. Maybe it will inspire me to get stuck in and sort all this lot out. Notice I've been having a go at iris folding-something in about 16 years of cardmaking has not grabbed me at all. Will it help to get some paper used up or will it just be an excuse to buy some books-already bought two which look interesting and had one go.
The carpet I hate. The foam backing has disintegrated and been sucked into the vac-yes I do vac it but just contemplating sorting the whole lot out gives me the collywobbles. Would dearly love to clear it and have it replastered and a new floor etc etc but have run out of energy-oh and more power points and a new light fitting. Must stop now as depression is settling on me like a black cloud. Where is the magic fairy when I need her?
By the way don't think all this stuff kicking about has been made on Wednesday not likely 'cos I've been having a low day today-nuff said.

  16. Welcome to the club ....I doubt it will make you tidy ...you are or you are not ...I'm not ...this week there is a higher number of tidy desks so take heart, they are not usually so tidy ... what it will do is fire up the imagination as you nose round ...temp you into buying more .. increase your blog friends in the true meaning of friend ...and make you alittle less guilty about your Creative Chaos

  17. You have a divine craft area, lovely desk, and the making of a great craft room. I have found that some people can't work in clutter (like myself) while others need clutter for inspiration. You are on your way to a super redo, I think.

    Sorry I'm so late visiting, and on my first ever WOYWW, too. I tried to leave a message last night, but I had a fight with the link and got a dreaded timed out page. Glad I was able to make it today. I'll give you pointers all along the way, if you need them, and encouragement anytime.

  19. Oooo I'd love a good nosey round your shelves...looks like there is some interesting stuff!

  20. Oh wow, what a load of interesting stuff you have there, I'll gladly come and help you sort it out, as long as I can have what you don't want any more!!! Welcome to the crazy Wednesday club, which has now spilt into Thursday and Friday too as there's so many of us now. Have a great weekend.

    Hugs

  21. It looks like you are busting at the seams dear. I'd have so much fun playing in your room with you! You can come play in mine too!!

  22. Good stuff! Your room will get there a little at a time. One thing I would do differently in my craft room would be wood floors, not carpet! It is always such a mess!
