I've been a bit MIA lately, not been around too much so going to have a catch up! If you're wondering what WOYWW is all about pop over to The Stamping Ground and have a mooch over other crafters creative chaos. I've sorted out my craft room as planned, made lots of space and thought long and hard whether I'm going to use a lot of the bits and bobs again. I think if I sent someone a card using printed decoupage, tea bag folding or iris folding they'd think I'd had a breakdown! Its a bit like Cath sending out a Tilda card, it just wouldnt happen lol! I donated a *lot* of stuff to Birchwood Community Church who run craft classes so they have plenty to play with for a while!
As I'm catching up I took these pics last week after I'd sorted my room out. I feel a bit embarrassed as it still looks a mess but ts organised chaos and ain't bad compared to what it was lol!
These are my starburst stains which are out of kids reach. I left my hydrangea blue on the desk the other day and Molly painted herself with it so they're stored HIGH up! Thats a cross stitch pic I remember making around 1994!
Ths cupboard is hard to access and houses dangerous and difficult to get out of the furnture items lke alcohol inks, acrylic pains, color washes etc.
My very orderly drawer of embossing powders, mainly moonglow ones!
My messy desk! I have starburst stains colour charts, my colour wheel, Molly's first chalk drawng, a picture panted by Ethan, a card I bought off Judy as I loved everything about it, my bead collection, papers, sticky gems, sewng machine, a canvas I've started with Molly's hand and footprints, 2 art decos which are now posted. I had done another set of angels and was just packing them and realised they'd asked for landscape and mine were portrait, I could cry seriously I could cry!
After I dropped off my stash for the church I popped into the charity shop next door and lookie what I scored for a quid :D :D :D

So todays desk well I still have an organised mess! I wanted to do some real stitching for the pollycraft challenge but my machine has other ideas! I couldnt thread it to save my life! Not much different to last week, theres a CIP (card in progress) for Crafty Cardmakers challenge next monday, my blackberry headphones, actually they're OH's coz I can't remember where I put mine! Mols left her callng card on the left there I see!
Final wrap up - well we've been out to see Thomas! I actually really dislike Thomas the Tank but my kids love him so I'll indulge them sometimes! They had a great day out hopping on and of trains all day and I lost count how many times they went on Thomas!
We're now confined to the house as Mols has erupted with chicken pox today aaaargh! I don't belieeeeeeve it! I'd got a free week next week and had planned to catch up with my neglected friends and all my odds and ends I need to sort out so now have the prospect of 2 toddlers with chickenpox with OH off on a bike tour. I'm already feeling a bit run down with the fibro having a go at my wrists again and the miserable weather isnt helping anybody except the grass! My laptop has been playing up too until it went into meltdown this week so OH has now fixed it so hopefully I'll be able to get on with admin kinda things like the cards for nan album which I can only edit in the evening so thats on my to do list next week.
Also the decos I need to do (or redo!) Wish there were a few more hours in the day!
Nevermind I get there eventually lol!
Night all :)

Great desk pics! Hope you survive the chicken pox - it's best they catch it young at least!! Hope you get back on track soon.

fab to see the behind the scenes mate
left something on my blog for you

Lots going on at your desk. It will be waiting for you after the seige of the pox. Take care of yourself during all this as you have a full plate.
I hate it when things are hard to get to, and you have to move a bunch of other things in order to get to what you need. I store my eps upside down so I can see the colors. You sure have a lot of them.
Sorry I'm late visiting, but my computer contracted a virus on Wednesday. It's still not fixed, but I had to make sure I wasn't infecting anyone before I resumed my visits. Happy belated WOYWW.
Ooooh, love looking at other peoples craft spaces. Hope Mol will soon be better.
If you pop over to my blog, Vix, there's a little something for you, hun (with a cherry on top, lol).
Wow I am so jealous of your stash and I wish my desk was that tidy!
Hugs
Amy xx
