I decided to reorganise my desk last week and put more of my favourite things to hand - the pile of little white wheels next to the beadazzles are my gems, each wheel for a different colour and packed to the rim with little stones. I am currently working on some projects for Crafty Ribbons using their latest designs - the little box is one project and the lid is drying next to it.
the other end of my desk reveals the bag I am altering as another Crafty Ribbons project and as always the phone and a mug of redbush tea are to hand. You can just see my promarker wallets in the top right hand corner and on top of them and just out of sight are my tins of SU water colour crayons. In the altered bean can are my Marvey LePlume and Adirondike pens. Other colouring mediums are hidden away and will be revealed another Wednesday.
Just to prove I did have a sort out this week, this is the view behind me and you might remember it had lots of piles of work 'to do', thankfully I have cleared them all and the tray and box are now in the middle of being altered and will be back on my desk soon. Ok now on to 'fessing up time......
Apart from being a neatness freak I am also a ribbon addict...
A few are hung on clips next to my desk and all of these boxes contain ribbons and are full. Then this is the shelf over my desk and.....
well the cd boxes contain all my rubber stamps but the little drawers all contain my wider ribbons - the colour bow on the doggie shows which colour of ribbons is inside. Then all those little decorated boxes contain - yes you guessed it, ribbons. Finally the white boxes are also full of rolls of ribbons and I still want more.
I have managed to achieve quite a bit in the past week - my middle granddaughter is now at nursery and that of course means lots of birthday parties so she asked if she could have a card box like mummy's so she could pick a card for each of her friends. I've made her 15 cards so far and have now just got to get a box and decorate it for her. I've also managed to alter the box that was sitting behind my desk last week and the tray has been gesso'ed and painted and crackled so is now ready to be embellished. hopefully I'll get round to it at the weekend.
I managed to visit a few of your blogs last week and I'll try to get to everyone this week.
Bye for now.
