 Morning peeps, after a couple weeks off work (went to london for a few days and some day trips too, our first proper break from work since Christmas) we are back on the treadmill.  BUT, I have managed to make a mess of my craft room.

So on my desk, at the back are my intense pencils.  Every year I take part in Inktober, I am a week behind so am quickly playing catch up.  For the past few years I do them on tags (you can see some of the previous years hanging up across the top of my desk)hanging on a ring hook.  I find this easier and doesnt take up too much room.  Also on my desk is an empty coffee jar, I tend to reuse these for preserves, especially the nice Douwe Egberts ones as they have a great vinegar proof stopper.  Years ago I found that after peeling away the labels in a bowl of hot water, the easiest way to get rid of the last of the glue on the glass is to use crafters companion stick away (I used to use WD40 but find stick away less messy). So thats my jar soaking for a few mins before I rub the last of the glue off.

My man Bites Dog cards "devoted fans lost thousands"......mmmm

So, whats on your workdesk this wednesday?

 Morning peeps, looking forward to seeing the crop updates. So sad to have missed it but we were on our summer hols for our silver wedding anniversary. We went to london for the week, first time since Feb 2020 so lots to catch up on. Kew (thanks to Helen for the top tips), chelsea physic garden, Regents park (including their community allotment), tate modern, street art etc. Photos are on my IG account (not all of them as i took over 300!!!). 

Anyway, my desk-yep mess

Though i did make hubby an anniversary card! He has been in a band and collected records since he was a kid so that was the obvious background, i added a resin heart (i only had green resin so painted it silver after it set) and had the lock and key already so seemed perfect. 

My 'Man Bites Dog' cards this week-well i can rearrange them several times but each time its not a pleasant headline! 

cheeky day off today (hence the late link up) and it's chucking it down and very windy so plan on cleaning the craft room!! 

So, what's on your workdesk Wednesday?

 Hi all just a quick update for what's on your workdesk Wednesday and starting with an apology as i didnt make it round many desks last week. So on my desk this week, well, its a mess and i decided, after reading some of your workdesk updates to sort out my scrap box! Why oh why? 

On the right is still my metal laptop stand which is now repurposed as a scrap paper holder whilst i clear up! 

My 'man bites dog' cards this week are 'Judge Sues Nude Wife'!! Oh well, guessing they would know a lawyer to use!!

 Morning all, just a quick update for what's on your workdesk Wednesday. This was taken VERY early this morning (couldnt sleep so got up and remembered i needed to make a special birthday card) hence the flash on the photo and a rather overstuffed offcuts box!

Desk was full of 'other' stuff so was inspired by Helen and crafted on the floor! Always remember years ago at the WOYWW crop Julia and Jan set up an outlined desk space on the floor for helen!! Still brings a smile to my face now when i remember that. Sadly cant make this years crop but am looking forward to the photos post event.

Happy crafting

 Morning, only a quick update as pay the bills job is still taking over all my time. On my desk is STILL my 365 journal. I just need to stamp the dates and fill in the first week for September!! 

BUT on my desk is new stash!!! Well, 3 brushes from Cass Art. I have been trying to do some mindful painting techniques and failing, had the book from the library for months and only done one exercise! 

Been blaming the fact that i couldnt work out which brush was which (round 2 or a round 4 for example!) So i bought the 3 it recommends so now i have no excuse (watch this space for next weeks excuses!!). 

My Man Bites Dog cards this week are 'actor wife revealed terror tourist'- ooh bit sinister!

So what's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Happy what's on your workdesk Wednesday where we share our desks and get me, crafting is actually taking place (well, last night). I have just gesso'd my 365 journal in readiness to make September's page. Havent decided on colours yet, must admit not bought any stash apart from card blanks for about 3 years so am using my spray inks up. 

 

My 'Man Bites Dog' cards this week are 'lost fake fans revealed'- ooh, now that sounds like a real headline!! 

So, what's on your desk this Wednesday?

Happy crafting

 Morning all, just a quick update for what's on your workdesk Wednesday, its via my new phone hence i have NO idea how to turn the photo round!! 

My desk today is my dining room table as i sort through my seed box for the next sowing. I know a lot of allotment holders put their beds to sleep come winter but i must admit i never have. I often sow lettuce, turnips, beetroot, spring onions, land cress, spinach and chard. All can be harvested as they grow and if they are strong i cover them with cloches and try to over winter them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. When it does its great picking salads in december! 

So, whats on your workdesk?

 Morning all, hope you are sitting down?

 Look-craft on my desk!!! Ok, admittedly its my bullet journal and my 365 journal ready for August (I can't believe it's August already!!) but still, paint and glue so that counts! It was last night so was only 2 days late for my journal so for me that is a win. 

 I will keep it short and sweet this week, my spare time is of course allotments and preserving (jam, chutney and a lot of dehydrated courgette crisps!)

 Only a quick update, this was actually Tuesday evening and i tried updating via my phone so fingers crossed this works! Got really early meetings this morning so thought it best to capture my desk last night. As you can see its my allotment again (well one of them). I was lucky to finish worķ early so i could spend a couple hours on the plot, and lovely it was too.

I even remembered my Man Bites Dog cards! Luckily there was  no one else on the site so no funny looks! 

Squashes are finally taking off (i do grow a LOT of them, hence i was SO pleased after 2 yrs of waiting i got my 2nd plot as i get through at least 1 squash a week a year so growing and storing as many as i can saves me a lot of money). 

Beans, beetroot, sweetcorn, salads and sweetpeas doing well too.

And this is tonight's harvest, courgettes, potatoes, gooseberries, blackberries, edible flowers and nasturtium pods (which i will pickle as they taste like capers). Alreadý got a load of salad and radish at home from yesterday so that will keep me going for a few days.

So that's sort of my workdesk!

 Morning all, only a quick update this was my desk last night.

This is my july 365 journal page STILL not done! I need to finish it before i forget what i have been doing! Not done any crafting as work and the allotment have taken priority (ooh and i went to a gig and saw Adam Ant play live, ooh it took me right back to my youth!). 

Anyway, my Man bites Dog cards this week are 'Teen tricks Hero Nurse!' 

So, what's on your workdesk?
