What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - Week 490

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a lovely day. Here in Ayrshire the temperature has dropped like a stone and the sky is cloudy and grey, making it another perfect day for the participation in the vicarious pleasures of Julia's What's On Your Desk - where there are bound to be a lot more interesting desks on view then this one of mine.

Yes, not a lot to see really. The little pile of patterned papers is all that's left from a weekend of cyber cropping. Not that I completed many pages, four to be precise, but that was only because we had the happy distraction of a visit from three of our lovely great-grandchildren. On top of the paper there's a pile of photos that I may scrap some time soon. At the back is a heap of recently finished Christmas cards waiting to be addressed ... that should be soon too but I'll probably put that task off for as long as possible. The notebook beside them was discovered when I was going through a shelf of books ... part of a process of weeding out my extensive book collection. I'm at the stage in life where I need far fewer possessions cluttering up my home! The notebook, handmade and brought back from a holiday in Amalfi, contains print-outs of cards that inspired about 7/8 years ago. They do look a bit dated today but the ideas are still good so I'll be keeping the notebook a bit longer. Finally, that's my 'things to-do today' book lying off to the left. As you can see it's empty but not because I've no tasks to do. Quite the reverse! I'm sure I can think of plenty to do. I just need to write the tasks I want/need to do down and get on with it ... just as soon as I've had another cuppa. 

Before I go, I thought I'd show this beautiful crochet doily.

Not my own work - well, not entirely my work. It was an unfinished object (UFO) found in the home of a Thursday craft club member's late mother-in-law. Knowing that I crocheted, she asked if I would complete the doily for her and, of course, I was only too happy to help. It was lovely to work on and I'm pleased it looked not half bad once I'd finished with it. 

No book review this week. I'm still listening to the same book as last week, the one about Alan Turing and the Enigma Machine ... it's a huge book and I've had less opportunity than usual to listen so I still have quite a few chapters to get through. 

If you haven't participated in What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday before but fancy joining in the fun do pop over to the Stamping Ground where you can find all the information you need here. It's really too easy, post a photo of your desk, tidy or messy it doesn't matter, and add your link to all the others. It's fun, you'll see.

In the meantime, have a very happy WOYWW and a great week ahead.
