Last week during WOYWW as I went around various blogs, nosing at desks (and some floors!) there was a disturbing theme emerging. Now, I don't tend to follow trends and don't even think of myself as easily led......but you lot have infected me!!!!!
What am I on about.......tidying!!!! that's what!!!!!
Blog after blog people were showing their desks.....and almost all of them seemed to have been sorting out their craft space...now, to begin with I thought 'aww, how sweet', then it started to grate.......'more tidy desks......' until finally I couldn't take the pressure any more!!!!!
I have started sorting through stash and clearing out!
Now, I would like to put a photo of my cleared and sorted space, but as I don't own a time machine (yet) I cant.....that will take a few days to tidy.
The back left of my desk is my new (to me) £5 unit i bought at the flea market and is holding my ink pads, dye sprays and stains. Everything else is dumped awaiting inspiration!
and behind isn't any better either! Now, the room is so small, you cant actually fit a single mattress in there (presume it would be a nursery in a home with kids and no crafting freak) but i am so lucky to have a room dedicated to craft and my piece of heaven!
So, if you fancy a pop around desks all over the globe, check out Julia's blog here .
Happy crafting

I love looking at all the 'stuff' people have, so messy desks are fine with me!
ReplyDeleteI love a good mess! That means that you are inspired! Creativity and cleanliness have a hard time being roomates! ;) Thanks for sharing! Happy WOYWW- Amanda 36
ReplyDeleteI seem to have stalled with my tidy up so feel free.....!! Love your desk.
ReplyDeleteI have another mess if you run out of things to straighten up and put away! I am a messy crafter and half the stuff ends up out and about before I know it it is a mess. Have a great week and thanks for sharing! Vickie #27

ReplyDeleteLOL, come visit me this week and you won't feel the need to tidy up! but if you visit next week, you may have influenced me to start tidying up as well! yes, it's wonderful that you have a room to yourself. i'm still dreaming of that.
ReplyDeletehappy WOYWW and thanks for sharing,

I never get affected by people being organized ...I'm a lost cause ...IF I do tidy ...its just as bad within days.
ReplyDeleteLove you wee space & mess looks like mine, Have a great week, Hugs May x x x x
ReplyDeleteI love seeing other peoples messy desks, i just can't work that way, so have to tidy after i finish whatever i am working on, it did seem like everyone was either tidying or sorting out and organising, so lots of lovely snooping done, its very inspiring seeing lots of 'stuff' for the first time since i started crafting i have my 'own'space, its lovely to have your own area no matter how small. Hope you have a great week Lou #84
ReplyDeleteWell the tidy bug hasn’t reached me as yet…..I must be immune, Lol!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes look at the nice tidy desks and feel a tinge of guilt for a split second that mine is almost always a mess but it soon passes, Lol!
Enjoy your spring clean.
Happy Crafting!

That storage for your ink pads etc was a good find - what a bargain. Thanks for letting us have a peep into your workspace (Hazel, WOYWW #28) x
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I was part of that tidying contingent. I actually tidy quite often as I get frustrated when I can't find things. Looks like we inspired you though. I think things are coming together in your area. I like your flea market find.
ReplyDeleteLove your desk,great bargain with the new storage :) x Becky #56
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love a mess as that's what mine generally is, but its a busy mess LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW, Luv Karen #80
Don't worry about the mess - just as long as you have a bit of space to work on - you can just close the door when you have finished!
ReplyDeleteI think tidying up is seriously over-rated. You have it all finished and before you kow it, you're back to square one!!!
ReplyDeleteLol...I love looking at the messy desks. They inspire me the most.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by your 2012 pledge and good to see your desk in action.
ReplyDeleteLol, there's good and bad aspects to WOYWW isn't there?? And you definitely have to make more mess in order to cleanup too, good luck with it!
