2010-10-27T08:06:00.000+01:00

Well whats on my desk today. The kittens are now climbing on the desk so 2 of them are on my desk today. As they are 6 weeks old now they are very mobile and are eating me out of house and home.

People have asked if they are a breed well they are cross Maine Coons as Sammy who was neutered about 3 months ago managed to breed with Polly much to my horror. It turned out that I was a week late neutering him. At present 3 of them have confirmed homes.

Some people were asking about my die storage system well if you want a better look it is Here

To see more desks and what people are doing have a look at Julias Blog

WOYWW week 72

2010-10-20T09:38:00.000+01:00

Well what's on my desk today. I have been using my cuttlebug so the storage folder and some of the scraps are still on my desk this morning. I have had a long lie today and didn't get up till 9am so the sun is now shining in the room which makes a lovely change.

For the people who like to see the kittens they are 5 weeks old now and mum has moved them again to under my desk. Which means that I have to be very careful when I move the chair so as not to hurt a kitten that is running about.

To see more desks check out Julias blog

WOYWW week 71

2010-10-13T07:50:00.000+01:00

Today I have a picture of my new chair. A few weeks ago I saw a rather nice looking orange chair on a blog sorry I cant remember whose it was. But they were saying how comfortable it was. As I was needing a new chair I decided this chair was what I wanted so here it is. And I have to add yes it is very comfortable so if you are wanting a new chair check out Ikea for this Markus chair

For those who like to see the kittens they are doing really well and are now starting to eat real kitten food. So here are 4 of them having breakfast this morning 2 of them are not as interested yet but they all soon will be fighting over the meat.

To see some real desks check out Julias blog

WOYWW week 70

2010-10-06T07:48:00.001+01:00

Well time to show my desk again so what's on it this week. The biscuits that my son made at school are and I haven't eaten them all yet so that's a achievement. My purse it seems is on my desk far to often this means I must be spending to much money on-line.

For those that are interested the kittens are 3 weeks old and are starting to show their personalities. The smallest 2 are the most feisty and seem to be the most active. I am still hand feeding the 2 small ones but they are doing fine and gaining weight easily now. They come running over to me as soon as I go near them and can climb up over their bed to get out to me for their milk and boy can they scream for milk. They will soon be getting real food.

Well Wednesday again and what's on my desk today a mess I think sums it up.

For those of you who like to see the kittens they are now 2 weeks old and some of them are huge and 2 of them are rather small so they are getting topped up with milk.

WOYWW week 68

2010-09-22T09:18:00.000+01:00

Well what's on my desk this Wednesday. My desk is quiet tidy today and not much on it. The jug with the syringe in it is milk for the kittens as 2 of them are smaller than the others and I have been topping them up. So that was left on the desk after feeding then at 5am.

So now a picture of the kittens they are cross kittens as Sammy who was neutered (just a week to late) is the daddy and Polly is mum.

Hope you have a great Wednesday. If you want to see some more desks pop over to Julias Blog

WOYWW week 67

2010-09-15T08:01:00.000+01:00

Well what is on my desk this Wednesday. I had to do a sympathy card for a friend of my OH. So as usual I couldn't find anything suitable so ran to a couple of local craft shops but couldn't find anything there. So had a look at a download site and found a decoupage sheet that was just what I was looking for. But there was a minimum spend so found some nice looking cupcake sheets so I have been printing them. Also are some decoupage toppers from the La Pashe christmas range that I have made up as I am going to make some christmas cards soon well I hope to.

For those that are interested in the pups there is only one left and he is going to his new home on Friday. The rest have now left for their new homes. So I parted with Buster who was my favourite. Next week I will have kitten pictures as Polly gave birth to 6 kittens yesterday. Yes I know I am mad with all these animals.

Wednesday again and time to show whats on our desks.

Well mine is a mess today. I have been finishing of some cards that I made a wee while ago. I am bad for doing the front of the card and not finishing it so I have printed out some inserts to complete a few cards.
The puppies were 8 weeks old yesterday so 2 of them have left for their new homes and I have to say the work load has lightened. So here is a picture of 2 of them having just finished breakfast they are having a morning snooze.

WOYWW week 64

2010-08-25T08:27:00.000+01:00

Well Wednesday and time to show our desks. Well I finally found some time to craft. It's my sisters birthday so I had to make her a card so that is what's on my desk today.

A picture of Sammy who was at the vets a few weeks ago now all relaxed after the op (castration). This picture I think shows of his size as he takes up the whole window sill.

The puppies are now 6 weeks old and they really are hard work. I seem to be mopping up constantly. Which is why I have very little crafting time. Here is a picture of Buster who doesn't have a new owner yet.

WOYWW week 63

2010-08-18T08:10:00.002+01:00

Wednesday and time to show what's on your desk. Well a few people asked about a turntable or scales last week so now you can see they are in fact scales as I use then to weight parcels before sending them. My desk is tidy this week as the pile getting pushed to the back has been tidied up.

For those who are interested in the puppies they are 5 weeks old now and eating me out of house and home. It seems to be a full time job cleaning up and mopping the floor after them. So I haven't had much time to craft. At least they can go to new homes in a few weeks that is if I find homes for them. The girl is sold and someone is comming to see another tonight so here is hoping that they all get good homes for when they are ready to leave. I dont want left with any as I just might say aw well we could just keep him and there isnt the room for another large GSD.

WOYWW week 62

2010-08-11T08:13:00.000+01:00

Well Wednesday again and I am back at my desk but haven't really had any craft time so it's just a abandoned mess today. My promarkers are still in the caravan so I have nearly empty shelves where they should be.

The puppies are now 4 weeks old and are running about like mad. Their wee barks are starting to get really loud especially when all 5 of them start. They are coming into the living-room and making friends with the cats who are friendly with them. This picture is of Samson and Bruno they did start to roll about playing after I took the picture.

WOYWW week 59

2010-07-21T08:13:00.000+01:00

Well its Wednesday again and time to show whats on your desk. Mine is very tidy today as I got a new cutting mat yesterday and had to clear everything away.

I haven't had much time to craft recently with life in general taking over. The pups were a week old yesterday and it amazes me how much they have grown, they have doubled in size since birth.

And for thoses of you who like to know about the kittens Fudge (Wallymau Hathor) was at her 1st cat show on Sataurday her new owner sent me this lovely picture of her with all her rosettes

She got a first and Best of Breed for Mau Kitten plus firsts for 'Foreign Not Bred by an Exhibitor kitten' and 'AV Variety Kitten' and seconds for 'AV Kitten under 6 months' and AV Debutante Kitten'.

Right now I have to dash as Samson is going to the vet today to be castrated so I will pop round some desks while I wait to hear when I can collect him. Right enough of my waffle if you want to see some real craft desks pop over to Julias

WOYWW week 58

2010-07-14T05:53:00.000+01:00

Well Wednesday again and time to show whats on your desk. Well nothing is whats on my desk today and no photos of it (Sorry). I had been trying to sort out some ribbon reels but my attention has been diverted by puppies.

Yesterday my dog skye gave birth to puppies. So now there are 5 lovely GSD puppies in my house. 3 Black & tan and 2 white pups. Skye and Ben are my adult GSD and I have had Ben since he was 8 weeks old. We got skye at 9 months ols they are both 6 this month and have never ever mated even though they have always been together. Well till 2 months ago that is. So the last few days I have hardly slept with skye wanting out at 3-4 in the morning and in general just being restless. Yesterday morning at about 4 am she started to deliver the pups. She delivered them easily but I have been keeping a eye on them so I am shattered. So thats why I am typing this at ghastly hours in the morning.

So sorry if you are reading this to hear how I got on with ribbon reels. Hopefully I will make some progress this week. And yes to all you who are thinking this woman must be mad with so many animals. If you want to see some real desks pop over to Julias Blog and have a good snoop. I am sorry but I just dont think I will manage round many desks today as I am going to try to get some more sleep.

WOYWW week 57

2010-07-07T07:16:00.001+01:00

Well it's Wednesday again and time to show whats on your desk. Well mine is definatly a total mess.

On it is a ribbon storage that I have been trying to make. My sample is made mainly paper though I am quiet pleased with the reel. The storage part needs some work. Maybe next week I will have mastered it. There is also some dotty paper that I have embossed and my trusty scissors and lots of other mess.

For those who are interested Smarite is still here but I thought you might like to see a picture of Samson my Maine Coon boy he is huge at 10 months old he is much bigger than my other fully grown male cats.

If you would like to see other desk check out Julias blog. Have a great WOYWW folks.

Well it is Wednesday again. I am sorry that I never got to look at many desks last week as I wanted to spend precious time with Jafari before he left. I have spoke to his new owner and he is having a ball. His sisters left on Friday and one is very happy in her new home as I have had lots of pictures and a video of her playing. Smartie wasn't so lucky she went away on Friday morning and was returned on Friday night due to her new owners other cat being very aggressive towards her. So Smartie is now looking for her forever home.

Smartie on my desk

Some people asked about a storage unit that was on my desk last week so I thought I would show you a better picture of it. I got it from my local craft shop. It's a carousel and has 60 small round plastic storage tubs on it.
