What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - WOYWW 271

Morning WOYWWers, Followers and All,

Wednesday again! The day in each week when we crafters join in with our Keeper of the Desks, Julia, over at the Stamping Ground, to reveal what's on our desk. So without further preamble here's what mine looks like this morning.

Tidy! Makes a pleasant change - it won't last, that's for sure :) That white pile is something that is always somewhere on my desk but usually out of sight. It's not card, as you might expect, but sheets and scraps of copy paper ... rather than toss it I use it for notes, lists, testing stamps on, etc., etc. Over time the pile gets really messy, threatening to fall on to the floor, so I'm just straightening it up before putting it out of sight once more ... but now you know what's on the side of the desk that is rarely seen. On the left, the layout that can be seen in the previous post - scroll down to see more - and under that is the kit that I wrote about last week - WOYWW 270 - still working my way through it. In fact, there's another finished layout hidden there - to be written up some time soon. Top right, a card and wee gift for my grandson working up in Shetland - I need to get it into an envelope and posted. Next to that, I've finally inked up the little stamp that has been sitting on the desk for weeks! Just in time for Rudolph Day later this month :) The little tray at the top has become home to the materials for palette printing - more of that here. The pile of black ink pads - in constant use so no point in putting them away - and the green basket contains watercolour paints - neglected at the moment but there to nudge me back to working on the class again :)

I'm keeping it brief today, well brief for me - just the way Julia likes it. I should go have a shower and get dressed - yes, I'm still in my PJ's - but I'll just finish the buttered toast and tea I have here first and only then will I, as the EM says, push the 'GO' button :)

Just a quick weather update: it's still pretty foul here, lashing rain and strong winds. No flooding, as there has been in the north of the country, though I can't think why not, we've certainly had more than enough of the wet stuff over the last few days :( If you are anywhere near Elgin and Dallas, Morayshire, you have my sympathy - it must be awful.

Oh dear, must go, there's a stand-off going on in the garden ... a black cat is threatening The Boss ... I can see there's going to be some fur flying if I don't intervene!!!

Have a lovely WOYWW and a great week.

Happy Crafting,

PS: fur flying disaster averted.

PPS: surprise, surprise, the sun is shining now :)
