WOYWW

Isn't it just the way? I was getting my stash out of the cupboards when I dropped my box of buttons. Unfortunately the plastic storage case didn't bounce! So now I have to find something to put them in, all muddled up too.
Anyway, here's my desk on a beautiful sunny Sunday. Why Sunday? I'll explain for new participants in this weekly madness organised by Soon-To-Be-WOYWW-Birthday-Girl. I work full time and have to put all my stash away after every craft session as Hubby has OCD, so I only get the craft table out at weekends.


One door is propped open with cushions, and the light is flooding in. Ideal for crafting.


No, I haven't been watching the TV. Hubby left the controls on the table in case I wanted to turn it on. But I've had a peaceful afternoon playing with a couple of scrapbook layouts, the only sounds were those coming through the open door, i.e. traffic, but I tend to not even hear that after a while. 
On my desk is my purple magnetic crafting mat from We-R-Memory-Keepers and the bits that go with it - a magnetic ruler, straight line cutter and circle cutter. There is a knife and blades that come with it too but they're not in sight. There's photos and cut papers and not a lot else. The rest of what I've been using is on the sofa .......including a whole load of homeless buttons.
Now there's an idea for a WOYWW One Year Anniversary Project. Hmmn.
Necessity being the Mother of Invention, and all that.

  1. Hi Ann

    I can just imagine the air when you dropped those buttons - however, I find sorting things out quite theraputic (believe it or not)... do you sort them into colours or sizes??? I put all mine in little spice jars from IKEA - good luck with sorting and storing!!!

  3. Yup ... If I drop anything it always either the buttons or the bead box ...
    I covert your purple mat by the way ... was so tempted to help myself ... then realised you have probably put it away now and I would never find it!!!

  4. omg a DH with OCD and you're a crafter... must be tough!
    And your buttons! They must have been everywhere.
    I got my new plastic bowl super cheap. I liked it because it's colourful and just deep enough to see stuff and rifle through it easily.
    The cork board IS massive. It is the same width as the table that has a large printer and computer on it, to give you an idea. It holds A LOT of stickers...

  7. It has to be tough having a husband with OCD, mind you I like everything tidy and in its place which is very difficult when you are a crafter. Tracy Evans x
