I worked like a mad woman – but it still took several hours to sort, re-catagorise, move around and move around some more. When I at last found my desk tops they were filthy – covered in dust from all the edge sanding that has gone on in preparing my box to look like an old book. Also I had been cutting out some intricate dies that left a layer of minute confetti sprayed across all surfaces….. and, lets face it, it got away on me I’ve been on a series of creative binges without stopping to clear up in between projects.
I’m a Virgo for heavens sake – we like organised and we like clean!!
Anyway – here’s some pics, can you see the difference?
The long shot – notice the tower of boxes is missing?
The back desk – usable space for sewing, die cutting, hot gluing and more…
Major sort out in this corner. Now all stamps, dies, patterns and papers are accessible.
We have clear working space again ………….. and even Orlando is happy – though he leapt off his chair when he saw the camera coming towards him – modest chap!

That looks so nice and tidy, I’m impressed at your organizing skills! I am almost motivated to get my desk cleaned off now. Great job, I know that was time consuming.

It’s 12:33am here and I am watching the ongoing coverage of the Okkahoma tornadoes, so scary. I am now under a tornado watch until 5am, so I’m preparing for a long night.

Whoa – scary! I can’t imagine what that must be like. You must tell us about in a post – you might be a modern day Dorothy!! Did you clear out your closet to shelter in? I hope you have company and stay safe.
