Good morning everyone!
Well it's Wednesday so that means we should all be checking in with our Queen of All desks, Julia to share our desk/floor/space.
As many of you know by now I tidy, always have, once I finish I tidy things away except the few tools that stay on my desk which means most mornings my desk is bare, boring and well who wants that, so last night I took pictures to share with you as I thought you'd enjoy seeing them far more than the plain boring desk this morning! -
So I start by showing the gatecrasher! Yep Keagan needed to use the laptop for homework so I moved over to my desk and he got to work he even made the cups of tea!
The next 2 pics show my work in action, colouring, using my Ottlite for, well, light and you'll see I do not tidy as I go when colouring all the pens are on the desk that I'm using.
You'll see some photos on the orange card these are drying and are photos for Keagan's baby Smash book, yep nearly 15 yrs later I start it!! Ha ha.
Those beady eyed of you will notice 2 additions to my Smash book collection - another lighter blue Retro book I had for Christmas and the darker blue 1 which is one of the new CHA 2012 collection, more to follow soon!
The right hand side radio still there, some more photos waiting to be placed and matted and an empty Mango packet!
That's it for me, thought you'd enjoy a wider view this week considering I've missed a few Weds over the last few weeks!
Take care Zo xx
PS Do you like the new photo of me and Keagan in my blog header? It was taken at footy the other day!!
love your colouring station! Doubt it will bad snow I am just next door to Bradford.

I see Keagan has taken over the place but you still managed to have your own bit of space - lovely coloring going on and lots of interesting stuff to see!
ReplyDeleteI am not playing this week - just snooping! :-)
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
My husband hates sitting at my desk to use the computer, cos he comes away covered in glitter/sticky stuff/bits of paper loL!

It's good to have gatecrashers that make tea for you. Look in hindsight homework is important and worth it. Good to see you spread out when crafting.

ReplyDeleteI noticed the photo straight away and said to myself what a lovely picture of you both,
ReplyDeleteWell you have him well trained in making the cups of tea, good lad.

If the gatecrasher makes the tea then it's all good I say, Zoe. Love the new photo btw.
ReplyDeleteI see you are engrossed in colouring there, isn't it funny how some people can loose themselves in colouring and others love messy inks and stuff. We seem to fall into two definite crafty groups. I'm the messy one if you were wondering
Happy WOYWW

Hi Zo :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous picture of you and your son :)
So great to see the 'in action' photos of your creative world :)
Gorgeous colouring in :)thank you for leaving me some really useful advice for using the spectrum pens a few weeks ago..
Wishing you a good week enjoying your crafting
Take care, Angela #119 (AngelGreetings)
Better late than never for Keagan's book, lol!! Love the pic of you two, so happy :)
ReplyDeleteYou gotta lot of pens there! How do you decide which ones to use??
Hugs,l LLJ xx
How kind of you to share your space and computer, I expect he is as tidy as you are. Enjoyed the card making. Monica 127
ReplyDeleteI like to have a tidy space at the start of a project too, and I can't leave anything out or my furry resident would wreck it. I love that colouring area with all those pens so organised. I have a full set of copic markers and it always amazes me how many I use on each project, but they do get sorted away in numerical order at the end! It takes all sorts doesn't it/ Kate x #57
ReplyDeleteI love the new blog banner and photo, Zo!! Glad to see you feel well enough to join in this week and thank you for the fun and wider tour of your space!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week! Darnell #42
Kids don't we just love them !!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are always such a tidy and neat crafter

I noticed your new header right away -- nice job and nice picture! Sometimes I find I get more done in my space when I have a little gate crasher of my own -- I do less mindless clicking on the computer and more creating at the table. Lovely coloring as always. Happy WOYWW from Laura #115
ReplyDeleteTea making gatecrashers would always be welcome.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your work in progress.
I like tidy!
Brill photo of you both at the footie. It's a real eye opener when they get taller than you! I hated it. My youngest just passed me last year - she grew and I shrunk by 1.5 inches. Boo hoo
No WOYWW for me this week as babysitting.
Great header photo of you both- bit sad when they get bigger than you isn't it. My youngest grew 3 inches and I shrunk by 1.5! Now they all tower over me. Boo hoo
ReplyDeleteAny gatecrasher that makes the tea is always welcome ;-)
wow! that's a proper collection of smash books! they look wonderful all lined up - and even more wonderful inside, i'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteand thanks for dropping by already and leaving a lovely comment - i really appreciate it!
happy WOYWW and have a great week :)

Hi Zo, that's a great workspace you have there! I love the new piccie!!Really need to updae my header it's been the same for ages. Thanks for popping by to see mem earlier, Cindy #59
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe
ReplyDeleteI did wonder who the gorgeous young man was, I thought he was a Bristol Rovers player he he!
your desk still looks very tidy, but then how much mess can you make with pens?
have a good week
janet #28
me again. I loved and totally agree with your rant on my blog earlier.. it's the only way to learn.... and have fun.... nothing wrong with old school
ReplyDeletejanet
wow, only 15 and he is almost a good head taller than you! Such a handsome young man! Love the new picture of the 2 of you! Thanks for visiting me today, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteWoah, who is this tall young man invading!! Have a great day. helen, 8
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of you and your son! I don't have an ottlite; I can how great they are in this photo though. Like a little ray of sunshine right on your desk!
Thanks for visiting me already. I'm slowly making it around to desks.
Happy WOYWW
Peace, Kay (48)
Nice to see some "in action" photos there Zo though I usually try to use your desk as a "how it should be" type inspiration!! I am pretty good though and clean stuff before I leave it, only leaving stuff out if I haven't finished the project. My worst problem is, typical Gemini, I like to have several projects on the go at the same time!! Hence lace, painting and several mini albums!! Tee Hee.

I love your Smash book collection and the photo of the 'gatecrasher' - brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing it xx
