On my desk on a Wednesday.................

Not much on my desk today, just some xmas wrapping paper and a couple of t shirts to be wrapped for xmas......
My mum has been staying for the last few days so we can fix the Garden and lawns. She made these garden beds and has been busy planting. The fence was finished on the weekend and today I am hoping to start painting the Steel work on the verandah and front fence....

Yesterday was extremely hot and today will be 32oc and same tomorrow..... Now to remember to water the garden using the tank water of course..........

On my desk..On a Wednesday..

On my desk today is a batch of Vintage Buttons, bought from the Antique Store down the road for $3.00....
I made my first handcrafted card! I used different cardboards and a vintage button to give it a flower look... I also got to use my glue gun that I got for $7.00.

Next project on my desk is a photo of my dad from 1946, he was less than a year old. The photo is a bit small for the frame so I want to make a nice background to fill in the space in the frame!

Organisation...................

Last week I mentioned on my blog the untidy state of my desk! Well I actually have a sewing desk that also came with the house! So I have arranged the back room so that the desk can remain open, Mr S moved the sewing machine for me and I neatly put the cotton on the door. The top drawer has been arranged neatly with all the pins and tape etc... Just don't look in the other three drawers, they are still messy!

On my desk..On a Wednesday..

My desk is covered with bits and pieces, because I changed the back room around on saturday. When we bought our house it came with a Pool table, and although it seemed like a great idea to keep the table it took up most of the room. We decided to sell it and turn the backroom into another lounge area, along with the computer desk, craft desk and sewing desk! The rest of the room looks neat and tidy but everything was piled on top of my desk.
My aim is to put all the sewing stuff inside the sewing cupboard! That would make sense wouldn't it? And I want to keep my eye out for an old bookcase to stack all my bits and pieces inside! Thus clearing my desk so I can actually use it for its intended use!

On my desk on a Wednesday! Blogtoberfest Day 15...

On my desk today is a stash of stuff I found in shopping bags last night that I forget to unpack last week. OOopps! I got myself some cardboard, textas, glue gun, ruler cutter, beads, pliers and green cordoruay remnants.. I intend to use most of it for cards. I want to take on a challenge of making some earrings but I will probably have to ask Curlypops for some help..
And on my kitchen table I have some Chocolate and Caramel Muffins!
I packet of Aldi Muffin Mix and some extra choc chips! Cheating I know....
