A first for me - I've seen loads of bloggers doing WOYWW but have never joined in myself, so excuse me for butting in! I'm sort of hoping it will shame me into doing something about the mess that I work in... maybe you'll see a perfect desk next week, and maybe one day I'll get round to painting the walls something other than the lemon yellow that's been there since my eldest (who'll be 8 soon) was a baby.
The enormous 'organiser' tub to the right is absolutely stuffed full of scraps that I'm trying to use up but probably never will. The rail is from Ikea and was actually put on the wall to store my promarkers, but I've moved all my colouring stuff downstairs now (so I can colour while the littlies are creating chaos). There's a card that I started last night, half finished... the strip of lace started out white and I covered it with black ink because I wanted it black, thinking it would dry overnight, but I checked it when I took my pics and it hasn't, so I might have to re-think that idea! Button pots, punches, glue and glossy accents that all have official places on shelves so shouldn't be there, but everything seems to end up piled up on my desk.
Edited to add - I'm thinking I should have been brave and shown the 'overspill' desk to the left of my workspace above, as so many of you have commented how tidy it is... my craft room looks like a rubbish tip, so I will be braver and add more views next week lol!
This is my colouring area downstairs in the kitchen - the only way I get anything done when I should be entertaining my youngest. Not much to say about this bit really! The tubs are full of promarkers, and there are koh-i-noor pencils and sansador there too, and my promarker colour chart... oh and some finished cards that should have been moved to my box upstairs.
Off to sort out my stinky boy now, who's supposed to be potty/ toilet training, but is taking some convincing!

Yes know what you mean. I do my colouring downstairs while little man does his colouring too lol! Trying to toilet train him as well! He won't even try the potty with his older brother/sisiers using the loo, he wants to be the same, lol! xx Jenny xx
Hey Lisa, dont be so hard on yourself, your craft space is WAY more tidy than mine ever is! I think it's therapy for me! I always come away thinking I must tidy up and then I just make another card and create another load of 'mess'!

Are you sure you've looked at the chaos the rest of us inhabit- mind you looks like your very creative regardless :)
Hi there, your desk isn't at all bad, should see mine :) Great idea to have a little 'you' space downstairs and good luck with the potty training, going through that at the moment with my grand daughter, fun isn't it??? Welcome to WOWW :0) xx
Oh Dear Lisa, we all having problems keeping our desks tidy, you clear it up one minute and next its a mess again.
Hope the little lad gets there in the end, I suppose to them its all a drag as when youve got to go you just go. With love and hugs Shirleyxx

Welcome to WOYWW. You're going to love it here, and we're really glad you decided to join the madness. I really like that Promarker system, although I have NONE and only about three ink pens to my name. I'm so craft product challenged (grin). BTW, I wish we had an IKEA close. I think they have some lovely storage solutions for crafters. Happy WOYWW.
Welcome to WOYWW........don't worry about the messy side, we'll see that next week!!!

I wouldn't dare show my craft space as it's a tip !!, so you have nothing to worry about.

Welcome!
Did you use your Promarkers to colour your lace? It usually dries really quickly! I use mine to colour ribbons all the time.
Your space does look tidy!

Hi there, wow great desk, loving all of your stash. Thanks for the lovely birthday message you left me, hugs Heidi xxx
Fab to have an insight into "your world" top tip for your promarkers. Put sticky dots on the end and colour them in! Helps finding the right one.
