WOYWW - Birthday

I feel a bit guilty, gatecrashing the party.  I only started WOYWW-ering a few weeks ago, and have already taken one week off.  On the other hand what if I didn't put an asterisk after my name, am I a spoilsport?

No, the asterisk should stay, I feel the important thing is to celebrate the achievements of many and of course join in, so here is hoping that by the next anniversary I don't feel guilty!

Well here is my workbench, this week.

The de-icer is still there!

There has been a new arrival in the studio.  My stepson has finished university, so my OH has donated one of his two workbenches to his boxes and generally tidied up his side.  This in turn put my side to shame.  So I had to put it straight (don't worry I didn't find anything that needed throwing out!).

Gosh, that looks empty from here

I spotted the OH throwing out the shelves.  They would be ideal for jewellery nick-nacks, but of course I didn't do that instead filled them with my display boards awaiting a shop to open (the date keeps getting pushed back).

Ideas, what not to do, and what I must do

I fixed the noticeboard to the wall.  My late father would be proud - I drilled two screws halfway into the wall and pushed the off cut of polystyrene onto it (ever the professional DIY-er).

Spot the floor!

And still there seemed to be lots of kit on the desk.  but far more taxing, was the amount of stuff on the floor.  I really need to move my chair 3" to the right, but I just can't.  Oh well, maybe by the next anniversary ...
