WOYWW - Feathered friends.

My desk
Hello folks, and welcome to another What's on your workbench Wednesday.  Now the one thing you can be sure about is when you reach my blog, there are no staged photos.  Nope, my photos always tell it how it is - messy.

Now compared to many weeks, this weeks workbench is tidy.  But I can assure you it isn't necessary to have around 50% of that stuff on the desk.

So what is going on?  Why has a flock of chickens appeared?  Well Funki Blue in Aberystwyth are stocking my cards, but they asked for more.  Not more cards, nope, more things, a 'complete range'.  Well what an opportunity!

I've begun with the simple stuff, so on my desk there is a flock of one abandoned chicken card, (used for measuring), one doorstop, one notebook, one trinket box.  I am waiting to hear if any of these are worth persuing, before doing anymore, in the meantime I shall be starting on a few more ideas bouncing around in my empty little head.

Pop over to Julia's and see if I am the tidiest pupil this week (don't worry I haven't got my hopes up).

  7. Oh, the chicken card looks cute. Why did you abandon it?

    If ideas are bouncing around in your head it isn't empty -- just on the move!

  15. Congratulations of this wonderful opportunity...How about aprons? They are really popular over here. Masculine and feminine styles.

    1. All new ideas gratefully accepted. I am nervous of aprons, because I like to wash mine alot, but one option is to change the logo to felt, then the raw edges won't matter so much.

  16. Congrats ... also about the workspace ... my whole house still looks like this! I have had decorators in since Christmas - today am perched in a bedroom with a chair, TV, and coffee table - told it will need to be for five days more (not counting the weekend). Luckily hubby away and no one else home. Next week carpets in rest of house and after getting re-organised will be back to normal. Phew!!
