WOYWW #153 and egg shell challenge

Just a short post from me this time... I've got a nasty cold and this whole cold-ness seems to be freezing my grey cells at the same time :-(.

What's on my desk today? Well, not much really. But I've got some empty egg shells (washing these without breaking them proved quite a challenge!). I'm going to try to use them in my crafty efforts. How? Not sure yet... but watch this space!


If you'd like to share the view of your desk or have a look around desks from the blogosphere, hop over to Julia's blog for further instructions :-).


Cheerio!

WOYWW #152 and a Jubilee puzzle

I haven't been 'snooping around' crafty desks for a while so I thought it was time to join WOYWW again :-). If you'd like to find out what it's about hop over to Julia's blog - the Commander in Chief of our blog snoop troop!

I've been busy rearranging some things on the shelves lately and my desk is semi tidy - showing mere beginnings of a crafty activity ;).

But the most exciting thing is these two little gems I spotted in a charity shop the other day. 
Two boxes of jigsaw puzzles - one with HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during the Silver Jubilee and a gorgeous French art deco chic design. 

I am sure one day they will get incorporated into an arty project but not sure what this will be yet. If you have any suggestions - please feel free to share! :-). Oh! And I also have a new radio! The old one is now a decoration - it kept detuning and it was driving me mad ;-D.

In case you haven't yet - make sure to join my super sweet 2nd Blogaversary candy :). Click on the picture below to be magically transported to the candy post.

Happy WOYWW everyone!

WOYWW #142

Today I am showing you a picture of my dining table as I left it this morning... A bit hazy as I took it in a rush with my phone ;).


My craft room is currently inaccessible... Not much has changed in there since last week actually, due to some temporary mojo breakdown...


But I am currently working on two lots of wedding invitations... Two of my best friends are getting married this summer and I got the honour to make their wedding invitations...lol ;). Luckily, both couples participated in the "design" stage so once the LO was approved, all I need to do now is to put it all together... Easy? Yes, but it seems to be taking ages! ;)


Since the time is ticking away and I've had some delicate prompts about the progress, I really needed to get on with the invites... here's the first lot and WIP...

Hopefully my mojo decides to return asap so I can go back to "proper" crafting!


Until then - happy What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday 142! And if you'd like to see which desks were my favourite last week - check out my WOYWW Pinterest board here!

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 141

How quickly has the time gone...? It's Wednesday again and time to have a look around some fabulous workdesks around the blogland... If you don't know what it's all about - click here and you will find out all you need to know!


Here's what's happening in my craft room at the moment - a total (creative) MESS!!!!

I don't even know if I should be showing it to the public!!!! lol ;) 


I am working on a shadow box - a present for one special Birthday Boy, who I was telling you about here. I can't show it to you yet - but I will soon!!! 


My work progress has been slightly delayed as after battling with illnesses of some sort (mine and my OH's), I am working on another important project (not crafty related lol) and also have some wedding invitations to finish for my best friend's wedding... so busy, busy, busy!!!


And I just have to tell you about the Valentine's gift our Kropek brought us home last night... 


We've had all sorts in the past, mice, birds and other small creatures... in different states of "liveliness"...


But yesterday Kropek brought us - a bunny!!!!!! A small, cutest ever, bunny!!! How he managed to catch one and shift it through the cat flap, is beyond me! But he managed... such a thoughtful boy.... We were glad to catch the bunny in one piece and release back to nature...


Some of you will know that last week I started my new Pinterest board for my favourite WOYWW picks. If you'd like to see if your desk caught my eye last week or which desks I found most PINTERESTING this week lol ;) - click here.

Not much going on this week, other than a big mess I haven't had any will or power to tidy up... We've got a bit of a hospital at home at the moment, with both me and my OH not feeling well :((( He's suffering from a terrible "man flu" (and we girls know what a serious condition that is, don't we?!!!!) and I am struggling to think or keep my eyes open - my sinuses are being a BIG pain in the ....errrr sinuses...?


Hopefully we'll be back up on our feet soon!


Until then....
