Happy What's-On-Your-Workdesk Wednesday No. 174

 Today, I'm lovin' my little worktable. It works very hard! It can be pushed up against the window and the leaves put down to look nice and neat and clean. Or it can be pulled out a bit, the leaves up, and covered with my madness and mess. I love when it's like this, and I have an art journal refurbishing going on with pages I'm destroying by constantly painting them titanium white and drying all the time--a stream of stitching projects here and there--my new yarn loom with little flowers being born like stars in the universe--my butterfly scarf is in my bag (but it's getting longer all the time) and my old pink boom box showed up to give me some wonderful background music for art journaling in my Smash book! Ahhh. Good times.
Had to take this in the morning darkness--there's my Tinkerbell "magical morning" mug o happy.

I was making flowers on the loom while I watched Dancing with the Stars.



Paint on the pages--ready to smooth out.
So my art journal refurbishing is coming along as I'm destroying the pages of an old library sale book, which was about housekeeping (love that), and I've marked off enough sets of pages to go through all the weeks of 2013. I'm going to mod podge the covers and inside the book I'm keeping some of the pages in tact because the more classic household hints are truly interesting and helpful--so this has laid down the theme of my art journal. Something about "Around the House" or "Eat, Write, Dream, Stitch, Laundry..." I don't know--I'll have fun designing and naming the cover for sure.

Crafty hugs to all my creative tribe members--thank you a million billion for visiting me and I can't wait to visit you!! And...P.S..your comments last week about the new craft shelves made my hubby's day! He says thank you very much, and he wishes he could make some for all of you.   
Eat, Write, Dream and Stitch today!

  5. I love your desk too. It's just the right size to see everything and I like the shape of the leaves when you have them raised - nice hnd rounded.

    You look very busy and have made some beauties. I love your little yarn flower. That is a cool idea to use the loom while catching a little TV. I used to knit and watch football and it was fun. Might have to pull out my needles!

    I love your photos this week, the lighting is pretty and I love close-ups of stuff. It just makes me happy.

    Thanks for sharing.

  8. You are always up to some fun, crafty stuff over there. The shelves your husband made fits perfectly in that corner. Funny how easy it is to fill it up right away. I usually do that and somehow still need more storage space. Hope you are having a great week. Tammy

  13. I want that hearts fabric that's covering your stool (?) - it's soooo gorgeous!! Ooooh, the things that could be made with that :D And I'd quite like a set of shelves too...thank you, Sandy's hubby..wonder how much the postage would be between your place and mine?? LOL Ah well, it was a kind offer....
