Keeping a tidy desk …
26/01/2018 § 2 Comments
In my ‘upstairs’ studio, I have a little nook which is my office. There’s a window with a view out over the roof of my garden studio and I love to sit at my desk, beavering away with emails and officey-type duties whilst watching the birds and trains, dog-walkers up at the farm and ever-changing sky …
Tidy isn’t my middle name! I’m well organised but projects and bits of paper do tend to accumulate on my desk. I’m a great notebook fan and have so many, it’s the same with pens and sticky notes …
I forgot to say, pairs of glasses too – so many – everywhere!
For Christmas, my quilting and long-time friend from the States came to visit and brought me a personalised thread-catcher. I just love it and decided to keep it on my desk and use it as a desk tidy. Now all my glasses, pens and desk scissors have a home and the transformation of my desk is wonderful (along with some neat stacking of notebooks)!
Ah, yes – that’s much better. As you can see, I love to have a few favourite ornaments and jugs around – always horses and sometimes others, full of nostalgia and sentiments.
I thought the thread-catcher was such a good idea, I made some …
I think they’re perfect for any desk or in the hall for keys, on a dresser or just about anywhere as well as in a sewing room. I’ve enjoyed playing with some of my Janome’s embroidery stitches too! So these, (and a few more besides) are my finishes for the week.
As you can see, this morning’s sunshine has disappeared but before I head off with the collies for a walk around those fields, my crochet blanket screen saver reminds me that I should post a few catch up photos of my Vintage Rose blanket …
I’m just loving my crochet journey with this blanket. It has a really quaint vibe and it’s really soft, being pure wools. I’m still not sure what size it will end up but that’s part of the fun!
Have a lovely weekend – there’s a Corner to Corner Crochet workshop happening here, so there will be lots of yarny chat – and cake!
