My desk in all its glory this week. I've just finished some of the August Paper Pumpkin cards. Loved the prints I had to work with and in gorgeous colors.
Saturday, I started to clean the worktable and wound up stripping everything off, rearranging as well as shampooing the carpet. I haven't worked with this enough to find out if I like the arrangement but I think I do. Bob repurposed a drawer from my old stamping cabinet and made the 'book' holder you see center back. That's where I put the stamp cases that house current SU embellishments as well as my small self-healing cutting mat and my piercing mat. They seemed to always get buried before. I also have a spot now to stand my paper trimmer up and out of the way instead of always looking for a place to lay it but still keep handy.
Bob leaves tomorrow or Friday... probably for four weeks so I'll have mornings to visit again so should be able to get 'round to more of you.
That's it for my desk this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here? When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you. Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.
Creative Blessings!

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly great to see you and your desk of course. Looks very tidy and organised, I’m thankful I have tiles in my craft room, I dread to think what it would be like with carpet, all that glue and glitter, ha,ha
ReplyDeleteHave. A great week

OOh Kelly, a reorganisation that includes carpet shampooing is a feat beyond expectation, well done! Oh my gosh, if Bob is away for 4 weeks, then you’ll have plenty of opportunity to test drive the new arrangement, and he’ll be back in time to make any necessary adjustments! Hope the days fly for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I used to have carpet in my room, but totally got fed up with stuff sticking to it, I swapped it for laminate flooring. I love that. Great desk shot. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to make a case out of an old drawer! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think that book shelf made from the old drawer is genius! It holds everything together so nicely and is within arm's reach - perfect storage in my opinion!!

Hi Kelly, the bookcase/drawer looks like a really handy thing :) Love the floral papers on your desk too. ~Stacy #33
