The Long Table



Sounds spooky.....it is ! Another revelation, this is my long work table in the craftroom AFTER tidying.  Yes I did say AFTER !  I started at this end and cleared loads of stuff away then ran out of space to put things so started putting them down on the table but in a different place.  I must have a hoarding instinct so ended up looking the same but different.

Really will have to have another go this week and actually put stuff away.  Anyway Julia has inspired my revelations once again this week on the WOYWW challenge No.60.

Hope you enjoy looking. Will be having a blog-hop to see yours too. See you soon with more views.

    Wish my work space was this long... and i think it looks very very tidy!
    I actually put mine up for view last week at Tellens place.... it made me feel very uncomfortable... like someone looking through my underwear drawer. NOT NICE!
    have a good week...happy crafting.

    I reckon you must have a lot of space somewhere to work on judging by the amazing pieces you have produced.

    What an amazing hive of activity ..... I had to gigle over your attempt to tidy ....I'm just the same unless DD does it for me when she cannot take my mess anymore. We share the space and I call it payback for all the years I tidied her mess lol....only problem is that it takes me ages to find things again ...but I can live with that.

    hahahahahahahaha that was soooo funny. Obviously you're not meant to tidy your creative space, just so long as you can clear enough space for whatever you're currently working on ;-)

    Hi Sid - great to see your workdesk - I've been thinking for ages how I'd like mine to be bigger but having seen yours - I have had a eureka moment & have to accept that with my hoarding tendencies I would just cover a bigger space with more stash !!!

    Wicked!! What a work space Sid and it's so good to see a bloke in amidst crafty mess instead of trying to get away from it all lol x!
    Keep up the good work anyway and I hope to see some more craftyness in a couple of weeks time when I return from holiday.

  51. Julia DunnitThu Jul 29, 08:24:00 am

    Ah ha - method after my own heart - shuffle it about, make it look different and voila - it looks tidy! If it was this long and not in use for craft, someone might try to use for an airstrip and that would be inconvenient, so I say, keep it covered!

  52. Sunshine GirlThu Jul 29, 08:32:00 am

    Lol that usually looks like my desk too! although mine has been relatively empty since I started WOYWW - mainly because I have only doing a bit of scrapping rather than I am just keeping tidy! Great pile of stuff there too - bet you know where everything is dont you and thats the main thing! Enjoy :)

    You have an incredible amount of stuff on that long table. Sometimes just moving things around helps to organize them. I see all your CDs are in one spot. Is that progress? Happy belated WOYWW.
