 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. On my desk this week (well last night) were my bullet journal and 365 journal being updated for January and copying across stuff like to do lists, birthday's and appointments. Bit boring. 


I haven't started my upcycling of the christmas cards YET (every year i try and have 20 made by the end of January to take the stress off December!) BUT i finally finished my Inktober!! 


These were the final 3 i hadn't got round to doing! No excuse, just didn't, but i have now, small wins are still wins! 

Also managed to do a few more of my watercolour course, am really loving doing these, but i need to schedule time around work so i can do them. 



I haven't tried doing landscape watercolours before and am really enjoying it

As to the 'man bites dog' cards this week....just odd!! 

So, what's on your workdesk?

Happy new year! The first what's on your workdesk Wednesday of 2024.  On my desk is a painting! I have signed up for an online painting course, watercolour landscapes in the past week and this is my first one. 


Its a night sky looking through the trees. I must admit, I quite enjoyed it. The way she explained the techniques just seemed to make sense to me. There are 10 paintings we are talked through so it will be interesting to see how i get on. 

Forgot my 'man bites dog' cards this week, will dig them out ready for next week.

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. A quick apology as didn't make it round all the desks last week as time fled by so quickly! So, what's on my desk.... the question is probably whats NOT on my desk!! Not on my desk are my pens, my guillotine and a load of papers! I ran out of room!! I also ran out of tape in my tape runner so need to go to town and find a stash! Luckily had some larger tape i could use becuase regardless of the fact i make a ton of Christmas cards every January i have run out so need to make another 15 or so and time is running out! 


I made a few last night and will make a few today (as i push most of it out the way or into a temp box!!)  Mind you, i quite enjoyed having to make some as i have gotten out of the habit of card making recently so happy with that. 

Still not finished inktober, will do them once i finish the cards 

So, what's on your workdesk?

 Happy hump day! On my desk this week is more mending! Well, sort of. My milk frother broke so before buying a new one i thought i would have a go at fixing it.


Took it all apart, cleaned it etc but sadly couldnt get it working so its gone in the recycling (luckily our council collects small electrics for recycling) and i will buy another. Also on my desk at the back is my inktober tags, i think i only have 4 to do so i really need to just do them! 

Hope your all ok and whether its those a bit higher up with the heavy snow and power outages of down here with the awful flooding-stay safe and do share What's on Your workdesk Wednesday.

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. On my desk this week are my new ankle boots, leggings and gloves! Why? Cos its mending time! 


I have worn the boots a few times and the very white raised barbour label on the front sticks out and i am quite aware of it as i walk alone in the fading lights (sad but true) so, to not make it so obvious i am painting them out with black paint pens (as you do!). I am also sewing (you can see my sewing box on the right) my leggings (i tend to mend them a couple times along the seams before i chuck them!) and also mending my gloves (again). These have been mended a couple times so are my backup/manky days gloves now!

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. So my desk this week, no crafting just a mess! Been a bit busy so i plan on tidying it this weekend ready for starting to think about any Christmas makes and also the final push to catch up with my inktober tags, determined to finish them this weekend! 

Decided after this weeks news in the UK that i wouldnt do the headline from Man Bites Dog cards! Think we have had enough of that this week! 

On a more pleasant note, had to pop into Bath after work last night and spotted some lovely lights so thought i would share.



So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

Hello fellow deskers for what's on your workdesk Wednesday. This week the chaos on my desk is my 365 journal as i need to set the pages up for Novemeber (and catch up on inktober too). I am waiting for the gesso to dry before i can spray the inks across and add all the squares to write each day 

I thought i would also share the harvest from the allotment. These are my winter squash, not as many as previous years but they should last us a couple of months.


 Also my runner beans drying that i will use to create new plants next year. 

Hoping i can catch up on inktober later today and probably over the weekend so will post a catch up soon.

 Morning all, on my desk this week-my Inktober tags as I am SO behind but I have taken part for at least 8 years so I am determined to catch up, I am not too far off (think I got up to day 16 so not too bad).  The past 6 years I have completed them on tags as I find it so much easier to hang them on a ring and then hang them from my desk.  I love looking back at the ones i have done in the past.


My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are 'Nurse Drops Feds Drugs' - well, that is certainly a headline!!

To answer Julia's question from last weeks blog - the glass jar...yes I glued several homemade flowers to the lid and its filled with various sugar free sweets! Well spotted :-)

So, What's on your workdesk wednesday?

 A quick update for What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Didn't manage to do all my return visits last week, apologies time just got away from me. On my desk this week is just making a quick gardening card for an office colleague who is leaving. Nothing else on the desk crafty as not had time to even so inktober yet (plan on catching up with that this week as i have taken part for years). 


Hope your all ok and happy WOYWW
