This is a picture of my messy desk this week. There are basically a bunch of things I stacked on it. New goodies in the middle - some more tape, 3d foam squares, some paper I ordered from Joann's (GC I received for Mother's Day) and a couple of new stamp sets from Unity that I couldn't resist. On the right are some of the souvenirs I brought back from our trip - some brochures, tickets, maps and a few postcards. They will get sorted tomorrow. I plan on putting on the air conditioning up there, cleaning a bit and then doing some crafting.
I am coming along on my stitching. I felt a little behind as we'd been gone for a week and I didn't take it with me. Time is flying by. I fly out on the 22nd of this month so need to get it finished and soon! Tonight I finished all the actual stitching and now comes the somewhat tedious task of backstitching.
I hope to have it all backstitched by the end of the week so hopefully they'll be a finished post soon! I don't think I'm going to start on anything else before leaving. I have a bunch of other stuff I need to get done. I still haven't decided if I'm going to take craft projects with me or treat myself to something new when I get there - it would be a good excuse!
I appreciate all the comments made! Check out the other desks HERE
Hi Sharon, it's exciting looking forward to a holiday, isn't it? Hope you get it all done in time. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #5 xxx
ReplyDeleteYour stacks look a lot like my stacks! The problem is once you put something inside the stack, it's likely to go missing for a while. I've still got some stencils AWOL and I expect they might be hiding somewhere in a forgotten stack or may have even been thrown away unintentionally. Good luck with the stitching - not far to go now! zsuzsa #20

The cross stitch is looking fab, you really have worked hard at it. The 22nd will be here before you know it - how exciting planning for a holiday - I think with the Exchange Rate as it is now it's going to be very much in your favour so I'd go mad on new craft stuff, and you'll be able to justify it!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

that stitching looks like it is just zooming right along from my perspective :) Go Sharon Go Sharon :) looks like a fun little pile of loot too! ~Stacy #37
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is coming along really well! Enjoy all that you are working on!
ReplyDeleteYou've got too much going on at the moment so don't worry about crafting! The cross stitch is coming on well, I was sorting out loads of books on that subject in Oxfam today. I wish you could see them, they're such a bargain. Not long now til you see your mum, how lovely!

ReplyDeleteYou have so much more patience than I do with all that stitching. It is so well done, too. It seems like a lot of the deskers have been on vacation this week! I am on a permanent vacation (retired) :) #46

Oh, nice pile of new goodies there. I actually finished my scrappage and am fiddling with the next one now. Thanks for visiting me BJ#25.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday. We need time to relax and get rejuvenated, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your project done in time! It's going to be very cute with that little bunny on the side.

busy desk and great cross stitching. Since I don't know what back stitching is, I can't appreciate how tedious, but lots of luck with it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Love the stitching you are doing. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch by my arthritis doesn't like me doing that now! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It has been a while since I have posted anything or participated in WOYWW! Kind a recluse of sorts. Vickie #43
ReplyDeleteHi SharonK.. squeaking in just under the wire before the next round. I love looking at your stitch work. Always beautiful. Creative Blessings! Kelly #30
