Happy hump day and What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. Started 14 years ago by Julia and Jan and boy, its been a blast. Over the years I have made new crafting friends across the globe and been lucky to meet up at crops and catch ups over the years with several other deskers (and sadly lost a few over the years, but they will always be remembered). They have taught me new crafting skills from paper craft to convincing me to make a quilt and handbag (looking at LLJ!!) as well as top tips, storage tips and of course "enabling" of new crafting stash (looking at Helen and Mary Anne in particular).
So, on my desk last night was this!
Also using poundland gel nail remover - basically a quid and pure acetone which is perfect for removing stubborn marks so perfect for cleaning my plant labels ready for their use. I do have wooden and bamboo ones but must admit I still use these thick plastic ones as I get quite a few years use out of them whereas some "creature" has nibbled the top of some of the wooden ones I use on the allotment!
At the back of my desk is my sketch book with last weeks bicycle I sketched at the Emily's Notebook zoom drawing lesson she runs each week.
Hidden behind the acetone are my ATCs! Only made 4 so really sorry wont be able to do a return swap as already got 3 ear-marked and 1 for my offical "swap".
My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are the headline 'Model Tells on Dead Star' - well, that could be a LOT of people! I will watch the 'news' with interest ;-)
So, What's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

Glad you've found a good use for the gel remover! I was looking back at old crop photos last night - WOYWW has certainly generated lots of friendships over the years. Hope you have a happy creative week (work allowing!) Helen #5
ReplyDeleteOh dear! *I* blame Helen for most of my "EEK MUST HAVE" moments but surprised you put me up there with her LOL! I'm like you - I hide my ATCs till the swaps are done. I enjoy your blog, for all the very different things you share and of course the MBD cards, which still never fail to make me smile. Once my actual swaps are done I will send you an ATC with no expectation of a return (unless you already agreed a swap with me and I missed the confirmation LOL!) as I have you address.

Happy 14th WOYWW!! It has been a genuine pleasure getting to know you over the years whether virtually or in real time! I like seeing what you’ve been getting up to and cherish our friendship. It was a fun day when you came to Burbage for the bag making and still remember your glee at learning the easy way to make bag handles that didn’t involve turning pesky tubes of fabric, lol!!

We each get a lot from this WOYWW lark don’t we! Made me laugh to read that MA is surprised that she’s an enabler!!! So glad that you’re still enjoying being a Desker, we all love to see what you’re up to, always busy and always with enthusiasm, you’re amazing.

You enabled me once, Kyla. You were at a crop and showed your ink scrubbers. In fact, I have both mine on my desk this week. LOVE the Man Bites Dog, too. It's good to know how to get the sticky off jars, too. Happy Anniversary from # 3.
