Well it's been a long week and a fast one at the same time if that makes any sense to any one. Here is my desk for this week. Unstaged- Uncleaned-and kinda unused at the moment.
But on the plus side I really did get something done.. I made boxes and sorted my pens and markers. I just couldn't see spending a ton of money on something when I wasn't sure what or how I wanted it. I'm still not sure.. they are t clued together or anything yet.
And in this photo is my other cat that a lot of you was asking about, Sadly she is no longer with us. I truly miss seeing here blue eyes.. when she was outside they looked like crystals or blue ice or something.
Thank you for the well wishings for her.
Bright Blessing to you and yours and have a crafty day and fun desk hoping.
I see you've been getting a little inky. Great marker storage. happy crafting #1
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who bought a wine rack and stuck clear plastic glasses in it for her pen storage. I like what you have done, since the pens are flat this way. Hope you get the look you are after. Happy WOYWW from #2.
ReplyDeleteAlways feels better when we do a little sorting out even if its just our markers etc

So sorry to hear about your beautiful, blue eyed cat passing. Her photo is so pretty. Hope that you will be able to craft and that will bring you joy and peace. Julie Ann x #32
ReplyDeleteI have a wreath like the one you have on your sidebar! I got it on Amazon. Do you sell there too? Had to have it over my living room door!!
ReplyDeleteYour desk is lightly used. Mine is always such a mess!!
Blessings and Bright White Light to you too!!

It is always good to keep on top of the housekeeping in your craft space - saves time looking for stuff when you're mid project! Have a good week MMx #45
ReplyDeleteHello again Roberta! Your desk does look busy! I know when we have to spend our time doing some organizing, we feel accomplished but it's hard to show everyone. Like I completely reorganized my ribbon stash by color--so proud of myself, but no photo of that. So sorry about your kitty. Hugs! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #11
ReplyDeleteSometimes all I get done is organizing. argh!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and fab pens storage. Take care Zo xx 71
ReplyDeleteWell done Roberta, great and sensible way to go about sorting the pen situation..it looks very good. First thing I saw on your desk looks like a tin of shoe polish...really?!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still sad about the kitty. She looked like a sweet little ball of purr. I like your idea to make some pen storage to try it out. I too, thought about buying something but wasn't sure it was what I wanted. Right now I have a little lock box suitcase (make up case style) thing that my Copics are in. It is full though. Hey, you can actually see it this week in my view of my wall. It is on top of the paper holder, far right, little black and silver case.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good sort, Thanks for the visit BJ#16
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to organize your markers and using something that doesn't cost much is a fantastic idea have fun :) hugs Nikki 4
ReplyDeleteI love how you sort your markers! Thank you for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have very much interesting material, and so orded, wau!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Your Journal...;-)
Uuna, #39
Is that a handmade journal I spy on your desk?? I'd also love to hear more about how you did your pen/marker storage. I'm all about recycle, repurpose, reuse. I really LOVE your blog background. It's very beautiful. TY for stopping by my desk. Hopefully I'll get my little book finished soon. I used cereal boxes and cardboard to make it. I'm truly sorry about your cat. ((((HUGS))))

Loving your storage,makes it more personal when we do it ourselves :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your cat,they are so special to us, I lost two over the last year.
Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting me

Yes, a pet cat is special . I think those of us who are cat lovers, are quite different from dog lovers. I kind of like dogs- at a distance, but cats are so quirky, and bad tempered, , and eccentric and so entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThat markers storage is awesome!! I have about 15 and thought that was a lot!! And I'm a pen collector!hehe
Judy #20 also new follower.
ps thanks for lovely comment on my blog.
Judy (above) got it just right about being a cat lover! I like dogs too but wouldn't want to own one....it's cats all the way for me, characters one and all. And yours was a beauty, look at those eyes....they could see deep into your soul, I bet.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for sorting out and seeing what you have before launching into a project. It's all to easy just to go and buy more stash..this is a make do and mend sort of thinking which I am attempting to do as well. Do I make a lot of stuff? I guess maybe I do but I don't watch much tv and I can't sit without my hands doing something be it knitting, crochet or patchwork!
Hugs, LLJ 44 xx
Oh wow, what a beautiful cat she was and what striking eyes. You must miss her tremendously. I know I miss all y fur babies and can't put myself through losing one again. Losing next door's cat was bad enough the other week.
ReplyDeleteGood for you making your own storage - I love doing that - recycling is great fun!
Hugs and Thanks for visiting me earlier - Neet xx
Goodness me I am so sorry about your cat, you must so miss her and I can see why you were drawn to those big beautiful eyes, they truly are amazing. She has a special place in your heart where she will always stay. I like your storage idea and have been looking at some for awhile but they are so expensive, but yours looks good. Thanks for visiting me already, work has been getting in the way hence the late return.

Hi Roberta I just had a look at your video, and really like your mini book.I made one for my mother, but she just didn't "get" it I think.She gave it back a while ago, and I felt quite disappointed!!Her friends at the Nursing Home had written lovely notes for her, and I had lots of little pockets to put the notes in.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much gave up making minis after that.
Glad your mum liked hers!!
Judy
I have been dreading finding out about your lovely cat, I am so sorry for your loss, she was such a beauty. I think you have channelled your energy really well making the boxes for your pens though, they are brilliant! Apologies for being so late returning your visit! Annette #18
