WOYWW #244



I have missed the last 2 WOYWW but I have been busy in my new room sorting things and working in my art journal..  I moved my desk away from facing the window so the window is at the side of me, I can see things I am working on so much better now.. I just have to move everything else now. So what have I on my desk today?  My art journal is there and another page that is just a background at the moment on the right there.  Some little glass bottles that I found today they will be fun to use on some altered projects.  More little brads and clips, on sale still so could not pass them up..  

Look what I found at the second hand shop today ideal for my sprays might encourage me to use them more being out like this. Its sturdy enough to have on the ground like this or I could hang it when I finally figure out how I want my room to be..   


My husband made me 4 ribbon holders they are on the top of this shelf here.. I painted them my favourite colour turquoise. They are so much better here than in the draw I had them in they kept coming undone and getting tangled. 
Julia from  WOYWW gets us all together every Wednesday to have a look at desks from all over the world.. Grab a cuppa, I have mine here, and take a browse.. Thanks for taking the time to comment and enjoy the blog hopping around all the desks.


Have a great day.

  2. Oh Sandy love the storage ideas too...

    One thing, dont want to prick your balloon on spray storage ... but was told by folk at Joanna Sheen when asked why sprays from there clogged they said they should be stored on side ie laying down to prevent clogging and since have done that no more have become clogged.

    I used to store mine upright in spic holder attached on cupboard door not unlike your new container.. however now have a scrounged cane basket and lay them in that.
    Great journal, thanks for popping over, Shaz in Oz.x #31

  9. I thing reorganizing is a great way to get the rediscover forgotten materials/tools and get the creative juices flowing. I love the mini-shelf unit you found and the ribbon spool holder your husband made for you. Blessings!

  10. Hello lovely lady, what a great find for your sprays, especially the ones on the bottom shelf LOL Hey and I see your owl on the shelf near the ribbons he seems to be settling in fine. DH is so talented for creating you the stand, lucky you. Have a great crafting week and thanks for visiting.

  11. Very wise not to commit to hanging or furnishing for good - definitely better to work in it and get a feel for the 'working triangle' that will suit you. And hey - that newly acquired light is good for the mojo huh, your journal looks fab!

  13. What a great find for your mists! I've got a similar style bathroom cabinet for little bits like this that I painted white. Now my mists are in a little heart shaped basket - just need to use them more! #46

  14. Love the spice rack(?) for the mists, what a great idea. I think we all suffer from forgetting about stuff thats out of sight, so that should be a great help. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #42 xx

  16. All I could see in the pic was your absolutely brilliant use of a mug tree for tapes and scissors. Love it!

    Your journal is quite lovely, too. :-)

    Happy organizing and Happy Woyww,
