Why i hear you ask.. well it's wednesday, and time to share my desk with Julia and the crew but as you can see...
I was in london last week and back to work this week so the old desk hasn't really seem much action..
I did manage to get my alcohol inks out and had a little play with an old mirror hangy thing, but i'm not sure i like it. Also there is a bag of old wooden cotton spools i picked up at the charity shop, was just looking {and found} the colour i needed to finish a canvas and metal cuff i started {thats hiding behind the bag.. i'll share pics of that once it's finished} but thats really all there is to see.
I promise to try harder to leave more mess so you've something exciting to see next time. And i've already had an idea for my WOYWWAC.
If you're now wondering what on earth i'm on about hop over to WOYWW and all will be revealed!

wow...i LOVE ur desk...so organised...thanx for welcoming me on my 1st WOYWDW...i will definately be back next week...hugs Lesley xxx
And i thought the bag had sweets in it =(
your desk needs some action - and you need to use some of that lovely stash you bought at Ally Pally - if only to justify you buying it - then you'll feel better about buying more LOL

Thought you'd been scoffing when I saw the paper bag
Big hugs

oooo yummy wooden cotton reels ... call me odd ... but I think they are exciting ... in fact ... I want them! *lifts hand and kisses it then bows*
There's a definite knack to remembering to take pictures of work in progress - it took me a while! A very interesting space and I enjoyed my visit.
Where does every one get the tins for the DI of tims they look great open and esy to use mine are in a cupard unless I put some on my table 'cos I am using them
Look fwd to the cuff!
Love Dawn xx
Hope you get time to play soon!

OMG I have still got cotton on wooden reels in my sewing box!! They look lovely and vintagey in the paper bag though, I must say. Love the saying on the sign, one of my faves...
Hi Minxy,
Love the desk.

Very tidy....Time has a lot to answer for!!! See you next week.xx
So, I just found your blog thanks to your kind visit to mine and HOLY FREAKING AMAZING! I am totally loving your work! I'm an official follower.
a very organised desk.. love the cotton reels.xx
Your desk is very organised :-)
BTW, no need to coax your OH to Ikea (I've never been there) - you can order your expedit online ;-) Admittedly delivery isn't cheap, but I thought it easier than faffing about at the store.
Thanks for coming by and leaving such a sweet comment!
hope you get chance to get some more crafting done soon - the cuff sounds interesting ;-)
thanks for visiting my workdesk
Regards, Cathy
Hi Minxy!
Love those wooden cotton reels - I have a few too!(found them in my moms sewing box!) I love how you colored the stickers on TH inks with the actual inks - as I just got them and need to give them "names" I will do the same! Thanks for the great idea!

Cotton reels, where did you get them, I want some?
Thanks for visiting my first desk...even one that's feeling neglected, like yours this week, has a story to tell. Chiefly that there IS a life beyond crafting, I'm told.
great find on the cotton reals
how was London?
Must do some charity shop shopping!! Love a good rummage!! Look forward to seeing what you make with those reels! xx
Thought that was a bag of sweeties to start with. Cotton reels taste OK but I'd rather eat sweets.

Please get crafting, I want to see what you are going to do with these things! ikki
Wooden cotton reels ...what a find ...I remember using the empty ones for 'French Knitting' after Mum had banged 4 tiny nails into the top. I also remember wanting to show my daughter but all I could find were plastic reels or expensive painted kits ....not the same.
spools, spools?? I need new glasses!! I really thought they were tiny chocolate eggs!! They look cute, but not as tasty!

Sigh, everyone gets such bargains in charity shops, there aren't any in my area, would love to have a browse through them!
Hugs

Stop by my blog today!! Thank you soooooo much *smiles*
Your desk looks far too tidy considering the stash you bought at Ally Pally! like the wooden spools that you have there. Tracey x

I got excited about those wooden spools of thread. They are to die for. Love them. And I appreciate your clean craft area, too.
Sorry I'm late getting here. Hope you had a great WOYWW.
Lovely desk...it looks very organised!!
I love vintage notions. They are so hard to find in California. It seems everyone else loves them too!
Can't wait to see the cuff! & thanks for visiting my blog - sorry it is taking me so long to get to everyone on the list!
I think you're going to do that French knitting thing with your spools, where you bang in 4 nails and the tail of knitting goes down through the centre of the spool...yes? Maybe not!
Very tidy desk!

It all looks so lovely and inviting, all the inks neatly filed away and that lovely lot of inky handle things whose name I've forgotten. I only have one of those....
Wow what a great space and look at all those fabby TH inks i only have 5 lol.
Hugs Paula xxxx
Wonderful space...hope you have more time to create this week!
Hope you had fun at AP. Well done finding the cotton colour you were looking for. :) Love your sewing card. Have a FAB Sunday. Love Gez.xx
Love your cotton reels! What a wonderful treasure!
