WOYWW 292 (1)

New year, new blog and a new resolution to take part in every Whats On Your Workdesk this year.  I'm ashamed to say I only managed a piddly 12 of them in 2014.

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday is a weekly international trip to look at the other crafters desks and see what they are making.  You can join in the fun by going here.

My desk this week:



I know it's against the law in WOYWW, but I had to clean my desk before proceeeding.  It's why I hadn't joined in for a while, the pile of half finished stuff had gone past the picture you see on the wall.  Also, I hope a fresh desk will promote motivation.

I have postcards to send out on the bottom left, a button factory from my friend Nathan, a stack of blank ex-trimming boards from work that I plan to decorate and put on the walls of my playroom to brighten the place up.  The bag at the back is full of Christmas related odds and sods to be turned into magic for next Xmas.  A pile of card and envelopes awaiting the Chrimbo cards coming from my card amnesty at work.  CERAMIC MINION PINCUSHION - made by the lovely FairyThoughts for my Chrimble present .  Special Aida cross stitching band to start next year's cake bands, pile of stuff to frame and a recipe box looking for the correct size cards so I can fill with all my jam, chutney and sauce recipes.

This week, I'll mostly be tackling the button factory and cake bands  Go and have a look at more desks now:) xxx

    You've got loads of projects in store, haven't you? Good luck. I think I need to make a list to prioritise.....but don't tell Julia! She'll never let me forget it :-)
    Oh, and I might have to steal that Minion pin cushion one day :-)

    ex-trimming boards? They look interesting, although I can't work out what they are! I love the Pinion, what a great pressie!

    I often find that clearing everything really gets the mojo on.. At least if the UFOs aren't lurking behind the bedroom door nagging to get over and done with:) happy WoYWW!

    Hi Lucy. What a great resolution - to participate in every WOYWW! I'm not sure exactly how many I participated in last year (too afraid to count). Oh I know you aren't the only one that does a bit of straightening before they snap their desk photo! The button kit looks interesting.

    I'm having a giveaway so stop by.
    Happy WOYWW,
    Peace, Kay (61)

    You look very busy there with lots of crafty plans for the new year. Looking forward to getting to know you through WOYWW this year. I have been a very poor desk hopper last year too.

    It all looks very promising! I'm intrigued by the Button Factory. Is that something you can make your own buttons with? Or is it a brand of buttons?
    I love your Minion! I saw it on Fairythoughts' blog. What a wonderful present!
    Have a great week!

    Gosh I am exhausted in reading all you have planned to do let alone doing it. Good luck in getting it all done. What is a button Factory, I don't know anything about them, do you make your own buttons from scratch?

    Happy WOYWW
