WOYWW 71

Wow, twice in a row, I'm doing well! This week was easier, we're on holiday so that means lots of crafty time, so this is a picture of my 'desk' (aka the kitchen table) this morning. You can see that I'm managing to keep it reasonably tidy - the constant threat of a viewing on the house is enough to rein in my innate untidiness! I'm working on a mini book at the moment, following Jimjams' fantastic instructions for a mini book using just one sheet of double sided pp and one sheet of coordinating cardstock. I love the way mine has turned out, and all it needs now is to be decorated.

I took this photo from the opposite side of my work space, and from further away, so you can just see the chest of drawers in the background that serves as my craft storage at the moment. I can't wait to move house and into my own craft room! Just after I took the photo our lovely postman delivered a parcel that I've been waiting for from Sarah's Cards, and I was tempted to take a picture of all the loveliness that was inside, but then I realised that most of it is destined to be part of the layouts for my Scrapbook Magazine commission, so I can't show you! I did have a quick play with one of the contents though, and made my first grunge rose:

I'm quite pleased with my first attempt, I think the middle needs a bit of work, but I have a feeling I'll soon be churning these out by the dozen!

I hope you enjoyed your Wednesday nosy at my desk, I loved all the comments that were left last week, thank you all :D I think I managed to visit about half of the desks, and left lots of comments of my own, so if I didn't manage to get to you last week I apologise. I'm off out for the rest of the day now, but am looking forward to a good blog hop tomorrow! If you want to join in, head on over to Julia's blog to get started :D
