WOYWW #175: Stash & Scraps

What's on my workdesk? Nothing, I don't have a workdesk!

But we weren't really using our table for anything 'cause we rarely have organized meals, so. That's where I craft. Also, I'm a graduate student. I'm allowed to have picnic dinners on my living-room floor.

This is from Tuesday night -- there's not much here, just some new stuff I was photographing for Saturday's State of the Stash post. You can see the legs of the tripod, all tipped over funny to take straight-down shots, with a weight to keep it from tipping over... we're pretty good at making do around here. I mostly make bookmarks, which don't stand up well, so straight-down shots are great.

Possibly I should have made it taller and used it for this shot rather than trying to keep my hands steady. Oh well, I'll give that a try next time.

You can also see, on the left, a collection of scraps that I'm beginning to put together a bookmark using the sample image of the musical fairy that I showed on Saturday. I liked the purple-red so much on that orange I thought it was worth doing something fall-ish with it. (The streaks on the cutting mat are from edging her right side with a copper pen.)

So: not over-messy, definitely not over-tidy, with not much going on, that's my "workdesk" today.

  2. Dining room tables count as work desks, so do laptrays and the floor. In fact, anywhere that you craft counts as a workdesk. i am looking forward to seeing those bookmarks too. Have a good week. xx Maggie #88

  3. Good to see your projects in action - just seeing the legs of the tripod it looks like a space rocket has just landed !

  4. Don't we all just eat at our desks normally? Or is that just me? Sometimes I go crazy and eat on the couch :D
