What's on You Workdesk Wednesday 21st September 2011

Jeepers creepers... I have been a busy bee today!!  I woke up and decided that I needed to move the scrap room about so that I got some actual daylight on my desk.... so I have pushed and dragged and shoved and emptied and refilled and it's done!!  OK... nearly done as I am still sitting at my computer desk which is in the same place and needs to be moved but I am a scaredy cat... Chris is away for two weeks and if I don't put the pc back together properly I will be without the interwebs until he gets home.... 2 weeks without the interwebs is not something I wish to even think about... maybe I'll just wait for some poor unsuspecting visitor to ring the doorbell and then get them to help me move the entire desk with everything still connected...

So this is where the desk started the day off...
and under that window is where I want it to end up...
and this is the mess I made moving everything about...
but by mid afternoon things are beginning to look a bit better and Pandy decided to investigate all the new spots that can be climbed up...
and here she is trying to decide if she could make the leap to the other work desk...
but most of the time she sat quietly...
and TomTom just wished I could do all the moving quietly...
So this is my new corner set up... and the window light makes a huge difference!
and the other desk which gets used for larger stuff that requires laying out.
and here it is all tidy and sorted once more...
and the lounge area is now moved over to where the desk used to be.
I did manage to finish my cotton reel made from a gravy tub before I started moving everything about.
It's Graphic45 Le Cirque papers
and when you lift the lid there are some hanging bits... a penny farthing is in the centre.
Don't forget to check out all the desks over at Julia's!!

    I'm tired just reading this. You put in a real day's work here, kiddo. Now you and the fur babies can take a much needed rest, while I admire that lovely reel. It is ADORABLE. I love the center, too. So imaginative.

    Whamma bamma! And TomTom sleeps on ;) Love your new positioning and definately you should get the milkman or mailman or whatever unsuspeting visitor to hook up the interwebs. No need to tell Chris - he'll be so proud of you when he gets home and you better believe TomTom isn't saying a word. Beautiful Cotton Reel Container - love the outside and INSIDE too!

    Was going to comment on the cats first of all but that cotton reel just took my breath away - fantastic! But then everything you do is!
    Love your room, so clean and spacious and I just adore the words on the wall.
    Give both Pandy and Tom Tom a cuddle from me. Hugs, Neet #7

    every time I go past my kindness shelf I pick up your kindness to me (my altered gravy pot that is now a magnificent cotton reel) and 'love' it, and I handle the fabric roll and sigh deeply at it's gorgeousness, if that's what you made in the dark, God Help Us now you are moving into the light...

    Niall cut the power off last week without warning - they heard me scream at the top of the road as my Mac went BLACK....

    It always scares me to move my PC...I take a picture of all the cords plugged in...lol then I know where they go after I move it.. thats the theory anyways.

    Happy WOYWW, thanks for sharing

    Good lord girl, I bet that worked up a sweat! Those large Expedit units with the desk are no lightweights! Love the new look out though, always nice to have natural daylight too. Great cotton reel, lovely and arty!

    You've got such a lovely space to work in, I love it (and I'm also a bit envious, to be honest). I had to love when I saw your desk, my daughter has exactly the same one including the set up with the shelves, only hers is white with red drawers etc. Love the cotton reel!

    That move around made such a difference ...you really have an amazing craft area.
    I really think that cotton reel container is such fun ...must remember not to throw the next gravey granules container ...need to have a play with it. Thanks for the idea.

    LOVE that project! But then you may recall I adore Circus stuff :) And I agree - natural light from a window is the best. Cute cats too :)

    Love the reel.

    Morning, me again...I think pills are working, or maybe I've just lost my legs...somewhere... Yes, I use my hair straighteners for hair, BU!!some one in my comments does use hers for ribbons!I don't usually use them in my craft room, which is why I'd spent all the day before looking and not finding them, only to see them in the WOYWW picture! I hadn't thought of using them for ribbons, it's surprising what you can learn on these trips around the WOYWW blogs...have a great week...

    Well done on moving so efficiently into the light. Your room is so swish and stylish and a space to be envied but it wouldn't look like that if I used it for a day or two. Love the cotton reel so much!

    I don't know how you managed to accomplish the entire move, well almost the entire move, in just one day ... it would have taken me a tad longer :) Love your cotton reel - it's stunning, and to think it started off live as a gravy powder tub.

    I’ve a giveaway over on my blog, you might like to take a look at:- http://silverscrappers.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-memories-suite-digital-software.html
