You didn't seriously expect me to keep it tidy did you?
Obviously I haven't been working on my desk this week. Due to my sewing machine fire on Wednesday and I have been playing with children and doing a little bit of jewellery making on my lap!
OH has respected my desk reasonably well, but I can see my daughters dressing gown and t-shirt on the corner, and I am certain I wouldn't have put it there. There is the self healing mat, out of place because I lent it to him and it looks like it has been returned. A sewing machine motor (in a box), some cheque books, some tracing paper as I have been sketching a few designs. Well, just about everything really!
But I know my chaos worries a lot of you, so I have a second photo, this took 4 minutes to arrange (including a short break to help my daughter clean a rhinoceros! ).
The pile is things I need to drop off - mother and toddler group cheque book, jewellery boxes and return a spare sewing machine motor and pedal. Just on the edge of shot is the other pile,which is jobs I need to do: fix my earring display board, take up do the hem on my daughters school trousers. Oh and the homeless bowl is still there, and still full - I am hoping the ipod lead is at the bottom of it!
Tomorrow is my day at Grug Studio so I get a whole day child free so I shall be back in the mood for craft work by the time I come home. It also means that I shall have time to blog hop (mind you in theory I should be rushed off my feet with customers), so I should have plenty of time to visit What's on your workbench Wednesday via Stamping ground.
Isn't it funny how the working space becomes a dumping ground when you have a crafting break :-)

Ooops... 4 minutes doesn't sound long to clean a rhinoceros - OH, the DESK took 4 minutes to clean (sorry, in a strange mood today...) Happy WOYWW, Helen 39.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like my desk ends up being the repository for everything that they don't know where it goes. I have been complaining recently and it seems to be helping. Hope you have a great week. Vickie @106
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your child free day. Oh and isn't crafting all about making a mess and seeing the creative part afterwards? Don't worry, be happy as they say! Karen 111 x
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's zest for life, more like slight hysteria setting in! I was really upset at my mum's in Wales yesterday cos she's not well at all, seems to be fading fast - but I've just got to see the bright side of life, just the way I am. But I do understand the dog days too. You'll feel brighter when you shake off the bug.

PS Shocking about the sewing machine fire - I really will make sure everything's switched off from now on....
Well that's quite a difference from last week, this desk looks like much more fun though! -Mari #38
ReplyDeleteI despair of you! So glad you don't live in my house - it would bring on a nervous breakdown (me)! Even the improvement scares me! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat talent - all that lovely crafting AND you know how to clean a rhinoceros too!!!
ReplyDeleteClean a rhinoceros? Do tell more! Great crafty mess, love it
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think we all have a bowl, or box of lost things! lol And it's not everyday that I read " to help my daughter clean a rhinoceros" lol...would love further explanation of that one! waving hi from the chilly, windy hills of North carolina #50
ReplyDeleteA machine fire and a rhinoceros? You have had one hell of a week and you were worried about my mind? LOL Maybe we should go have a drink together. hee hee
ReplyDeleteI could'nt have photographed mine when we came back from our caravan as it looked like a war zone. Its a bit better now after a quick whiz round shifting dirty washing, and loads of paraphenalia

Polly, you've got everyone quite excited about the rhino clean and sewing machine fire - you certainly do write an entertaining blog for all of us! I hope you have a calm and crafty week 'til next time! #43
ReplyDeleteIt takes less than 4 minutes to clean a rhino? The things you learn on the internet! I liked the before and after shots of your desk. Sometimes the worst looking disasters don't take that long to pick up (you just gotta do it).
ReplyDeleteAhhh well, I guess we have all been there! I do admire peeps that clean a rhino in 4 minutes though....
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed looking at your space
Have a good week and happy hopping!

Looks like you are going to be busy!

4 minutes is an admirable amount of time to clean a desk. I can sweep it all into a box in under 1 minute. But, then I feel guilty for a good half hour. Enjoy your child free day.
ReplyDelete4 mins! Super fast tidying! Take care, it's Thursday now so I'm late but I can never get through the list in one go! Love Zo xx 75
