WOYWW 83 - Oops Nearly Forgot

-
Oops with the bank holiday I forgot what day it was
so here a later than usual
What On Your Workdesk Wednesday
There nearly was no workdesk to show as when I sat down on Monday to do some
crafting I noticed the desk top seems to be moving and then my large paper
drawer in the centre landed on my lap!
I took the desk to bits and realised that over the years lots of screw had come out
so out came the drill for some new holes with some new screws
and now my desk is nice and sturdy and ready to face the next 50 years or so!
If you have not got a clue what I am talking about pop over to
and hop around the world having a nose out how everyone works
But I warn you it is addictive
My desk this week a few projects on the go for some different challenge blogs
I have just been using my nestabilites to cut out some images
One is coloured the others need colouring
An yes that is a custard cream on the desk a girl has to keep up her stamina whilst crafting
I have been working out what embellishments I am going to use of these cards
This is a shot and my embellishment case - yes like my desk very organised
I am unable to craft in a mess
You can also see my box of oddments of ribbons lots of these come out of clothes
and off pressies
The drawer this week is my Christmas drawer
In here I keep all my Christmas papers and a few Christmas Embellishments
I also keep my long bind it all wires in the drawer
Have a happy Wednesday everyone
love
x Nicky x

You are so super organised and your desk is always so neat and tidy. I am sure your desk is very stable after you took it apart and replaced screws. The same thing happened to our dining table everytime I cleaned the floor I found a screw and put it in a bowl eventually the whole table sagged! But at least I had the screws....

I can't believe how much that desk can hold! No wonder it's groaning under the weight of it all! Great embellishment box too.

How do you keep things so tidy? I have loads of space, thanks to my kind husband but I am in a total mess still, with loads of sorting out to do. I do like all your lovely embellishments.

You are a seriously organised crafter, me, never ever. I can not organise anything properly. I start and then inspiration strikes and then... I create! LOL

As always beautifully organised. I had to laugh at your wobbly desk story - I have a similar problem, not with my workdesk which is as solid as an oak, but with the one I'm typing on right now. Not to worry, I'm not getting out the drill and screws but I know a man who will :) Is there no end to your talents, I wonder. Elizabeth x

Yes it always helps to tighten up the screws or drill holes for new ones. I think your table was built to last forever.
You are a very tidy worker, it seems....or is that just for the camera????

Your desk looks very clever, it seems to come out and grow! Oh yes, bisqwits, mine are usually chocolate
My scissors are on bull-clips, clipped to the shelf, lots of woywwer's have 'borrowed' the idea! And being there does make me put them back when I find them! Glad you liked the freebie!
Happy WOYWW and Happy New Year

I always love seeing your fabulous desk, but got a real laugh that you literally took the desk apart and did a complete revamp. Well done! You might get the award for engineering this week. Sorry I'm so late getting here. It's been a busy one since we are bound to be snowed in after today. Almost forgot to say how I love that Christmas drawer, too.

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
