WOYWW shocker

 After a couple of weeks away from WOYWW I am back.....with a shameful face!

Why?  Look.......

I know I am a slutty crafter....but really this mess is going too far....it has been like this for weeks now.  I remembered to pick some words from 'Man Bites Dog' cards (not nice ones this week!) but the mess means that I have been unable to craft for a few weeks now!

On the desk are some 3D butterfly stickers I bought for £1 and a wooden house that has 3 wee drawers...only £2 and I thought I could alter it (at the moment its burgundy and has cats on it)... that means it will sit in the box with all those other things I think I will alter.......never to see the light of day again!

BUT.....I decided to have a clean up!!!  I know....me of all people!  It must be hormones, a hot flush or too much cider.....something must be to blame for this unusual action!

So, if you don't have a heart condition feel free to scroll down and allow your eyes to feast on the delight that is my CLEAN desk!

........


........


are you ready?.....

 


Tad da!!!!!!
I scraped the dried paint off the desk, the glue and the multi medium (not an easy job that one!) cleaned it AND my craft mat and cutting mat!  I even cleared out (well sort of) my red box of scraps (some of the scraps had been in there for over 2 years...lets face it, they are NEVER going to be used)....now......I am off to craft and make it all messy again!

  1. good heavens, that is quite a before and after shot! Enjoy your clean space and I hope you can find everything as I usually can't after a clean up like this!

  2. What a transformation ... trouble is it never stays clean for long. I can't believe you threw out 2 years worth of scraps!!!! Treasures to be kept and hoarded for ever, waiting for that right project.

  3. WOW for WOYWW! What a transformation! Don't think you were 'slutty' at all, just creative and busy and side tracked and ... and ... just like us all.

  4. Sometimes the head are just empty - no mojo- no creativity. It comes back, give it time and clean desk always helps..

  7. Wow, what a difference. That would have taken some doing, better have a big rest before starting again.
    Have a great week.

  10. Wow, that is a major clean up! I love the little house in the first picture and I hope that with your newly cleaned desk you will alter it soon so I can see what you do with it!

    p.s. you asked about the instant camera film ... yes it is expensive but you can get much better deals on eBay, just have to be careful who you deal with as you don't want expired film! I don't use the camera as much as my real one or my iphone

  13. I'm in the middle of a similar transformation in my ARTHaven, Kyla! Yours is certainly a dramatic before-and-after! I'm about to do a blog post about mine. I had a huge clear out yesterday and can't believe how different it all looks.

    Thanks for your visit. Glad you liked my annotated photo! It's the second time I've done one, and it's great fun - I got a very positive response each time. I can't promise one every week, but when I've got time and I get the urge lol!

    Happy belated WOYWW,

  15. I am getting seriously worried now. It looks like an epidemic has hit WOYWW, whats with all this cleaning? It looks great though. Not good for the back or the legs or the arms though, I feel like I can just fall over and sleep for a week. It took me two whole days and some more to organise my space, thats why I am so very late visiting this week.
    Happy very belated WOYWW

  16. Can you pop over and perform one of those miracles on my desk please!
    What a transformation - are you still having the "vapours" (isn't that what the maidens get in the Barbara Cartland novels?).
