WOYWW 170 - Oh where oh where.....
is my desk? Hmm, I know it's there somewhere otherwise everything would be on the floor! Oh my, I knew it was going to be bad, but really? THIS bad? Here's the rundown:
My acrylic paints, which are now stored upside down. Birdhouses that I've been painting but I don't like them -- stay tuned for a transformation. My cuttlebug from last week, pens and brushes, a few specialty papers and a scarf I started knitting (don't you love mohair?).
So, you may be wondering why I would show off such a messy place. It's WOYWW where desks around the world are fully exposed, for all to see. This happy blog hop starts at Julia's blog Stamping Ground.
As always, I'll visit those that end in the same number as me and those that leave a comment (please leave your number). I will try my best to do it but it may be tricky this week.
Peace,
Kay
Hi Kay, I like your birdhouses, they are very colourful, why would you ever change them! You planning on having a cold winter this year with your very fluffy scarf? Looks amazing so far. Michelle x #12
ReplyDeleteWhen ever we go to the USA I always buy thos little bird houses, they are so much cheaper over theere, and far cuter than any thing over here. Your desk is looking very pink and blue this week.

pretty projects! Happy woyww-Lindsay #10
ReplyDeleteYour birdhouses are so bright and happy! Who doesn't love a desk full of paint and goodies. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh at #17
ReplyDeleteGolly Kay, I can't find a cuttlebug anywhere. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for. But I do like how you stored your paint. I know you said you planned to do it that way.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the visit earlier. Do I need to mention I'm number 1 this week?
Looks like you have been shopping at Hobby Lobby. Hope you bought something fun! Very bright and cheerful desk. Birdhouse are cute???
ReplyDeleteKaren 23
Kay I am enjoying the vibrant colors shining from your desk. I happen to like the birdhouses but will stay tuned for their transformation.
ReplyDeleteI just dusted off my cuttlebug too and found an old die I forgot I had and a crankin' I went cutting tags.
Thanks for sharing.

At least your stuff looks like it is in a single layer - unlike some of us who admit nothing!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I could be right at home on your desk! Mine looks even worse! What I have to do, is slide everything out-the-way, with an arm, to have a small space to work. I'm too embarrassed to enter at the WOYWW. Will it ever get better? Debatable! TFS and making me feel like I am not the only one with a messy workspace. And YOU are getting things done, whereas I...well, I'll stop now! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the bird houses, I bet they are adorable, your work is so darn cute kay! I also cringed about the knittin while it's so hot out, don't see how you do it. waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I ran out of breath just reading the list of things you have managed to get on there. So I guess you actually work on the floor (he he).
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly a lot of glorious colour there and those birdhouses look fantastic.
Have a great week.

the birdhouses look great! lots of yummy paints i see too! have a creative week trace x #61
ReplyDeleteWOW busy desk! I think the birdhouses look good but if you aren't satisfied with the colors then do them over! I spotted the cuttle bug but barely. Making a trip next weekend to Missouri to visit a crafting friend with the DD! so might be a few weeks till I get to the mouse trap! I am excited tho!! Vickie #66
ReplyDeleteI laughed at this desk! it looks familiar.... I store my dabbers upside down too, but they are still solid!! Happy WOYWW, Helen #52
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity you don't like your little bird houses , have fun with decorating them again. jill #78
ReplyDeleteHiya, its been a while but it's good to be back and taking a peek at your creative world again. Looking busy and fun. Hope you have a good week too.
ReplyDeleteNeil @ 62
I too store my paints upside down, in fact there is so much of my stuff that is upside down (including my desk lol). Nice to see your knitting but is mohair not itchy? Love the colour of it.
ReplyDeleteHow's your weather over there, we are having what they describe as an Indian Summer, it's a lovely ay today, not hot but I believe further down the country it is. Ah dwell, I live in the wet NW.
Thanks for the share - Hugs Neet 84 this week xx
Morning Kay - I was thinking the other day I should re organised my paint stash. This is a great idea so you can see the colour of the paint more easily. Hmm how many leaks would I get though I wonder!! Your bird houses are cute but I am wondering if they are going to be in the shades of the pastel box of paint I see before me? Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 22
ReplyDeleteheheh my acrylics are in a tub under my desk, lol, they come out to play some times, lol
ReplyDeletehugs Lou p #83
Brilliant Kay....me thinks you just might hae to clear it a little to do any crafting though :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
A x #85
Ha, ha, it is nowhere near as bad as mine, I don't even have a bit of space left to craft in.........I am on a pink roll at the moment so I like the birdhouse but look forward to seeing it transformed. Happy WOYWw, Anne xx #47
ReplyDeleteWell I like the bird houses as well, and the mess, it demonstrated a busy crafter.

Hi Kay can't wait to see your bird houses, have fun playing with them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your crafty Wednesday, hugs Erika. #107
Hi,,, sorry but that is NOT untidy!! No way... you have visited me so you know, tee hee... anyway about that crackle, Take your card or whatever and paint over generously but unevenly with the pva glue. This makes the crackles more realistic and uneven. Before it dries, paint over in straight strokes with your acrylic paint and see the crackles. Try it on some scrap before you do your project, to get the right amount of glue etc... hope that helps

Finally, a nice messy desk. But very busy, which is always good! You have a long way to go to achieve the mess I work in, but maybe next week I'll be tidier. HA. Who am I kidding?

You may not be able to see the desk, but it's very colourful.
ReplyDelete** Kate **
Isn't it weird how it always looks worde in photo's. They say a photo adds 10kg to a person, maybe its the same with desks, it adds more stash??? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Tertia #70
That should have been 'worse' LOL
ReplyDeleteLots going on here! I know there is a desk under there somewhere! Also love the post below, what a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #119
Yikes, that's a lot going on, as long as you don't get in a muddle and try and paint your scarf you'll be ok lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday

ReplyDeleteHi Kay, just don't disappear under the avalanche before Friday :) Such cute little bird houses - pink, yay! Happy WOYWW! Hugs,Di xx
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors on your desk :) Can't wait to see the birdhouses are finished!
ReplyDeleteKatie (37)
love that desk it makes me want to create something.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have been having a good time creating up a storm :)
ReplyDeleteMary Jo #132
I love seeing the array of fun things on your desk. And the mystery surrounding the birdhouses is perfect. I am going to be thinking them all week. Thanks for sharing, have a great WOYWW. Frances #75
ReplyDeleteLove the pink bird house. I started one last year, that's all I will say!
ReplyDeleteMika #146
Lots of goodies on your desk then Kay. Looks like mine on a normal day lol. Look forward to the bird houses transformation.
ReplyDeletehugs {brenda} xox WOYWW147
That's one colourful workdesk today, Kay!! I rather like the birdhouses but you're the one who has got to be happy with them, so transformed they have to be!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #81 xx
Kay, my oh my. I'm not even going to pretend that your space doesn't give me hives! Where do your create, woman?! I'm wishing you a very happy tidy-up week!! xo, Darnell #93
ReplyDeletegreat busy desk again, I know it is under all that stuff somewhere. I think the bird houses look cute... I have one . . somewhere
ReplyDeletejanet #65
I see I'm in good company today! I kind of like how the little birdhouses are coming along, but I know how it is. If it doesn't make --you-- happy then it ain't gonna happen. Go ahead and make you happy!
ReplyDeleteAnd have some vodka.
And I do like mohair. It is so soft, but I can't be trusted with it.
Hi Kay that's one busy and creative space- love it. I like the bird houses but I know that it doesn't matter what anyone says if you don't like em then you don't em!!!! Have a good week. Anne x #122
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, great desk, l like that it's very busy as there's lots to see :)
ReplyDeleteShame you don't like the birdhouses, you don't say why but l think they look brill!
Happy WOYWW #99

Yep, just repaint what you don't like. What does storing the paint do?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terry #87
hmmm...there seems to be a lot of organized goodies all on your desk at once! I seem to have that same problem!
ReplyDeleteIt always looks worse before it gets better when you are busy or organising...looking at your previous WOYWW post: did you use the carrier tray to hold the dies in? If not then the metal of the die which goes right through will imprint on your bottom plate. You get a special empty tray to cut your movers and shapers in. It is the same price as a die, but worth it for keeping your plates safe if you are like me (and you seem to be on this issue) and like to keep your one plate uncut.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I feel the same way sometimes...I KNOW I have a desk somewhere, but it's been so long since I've seen it under the pile of crafty goodness, I can't quite remember what it looks like!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

It looks like a gorgeous crafty bomb went off and landed on your desk. I bet the birdhouses will end up fab too!
ReplyDeleteRemember, people who don't make mess, don't make anything and you are making so much!
Love JoZarty x
ps... I'm not mending the waiscoat I showed, I'm having to totally make a copy ugh! x
Lovely colours on your desk - like an explosion on an indian bazaar!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW BarbaraBee '148
A lovely crafty collage hiding your desk! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteSandra @144
Goodness what a lot of lovely things you have there, Kay. I'm intrigued at the upside down paints, don't they run out too quickly when you use them??
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with those lovely birdhouses.
Thanks for the visit and Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #103
