WOYWW #194

Welcome , it is once again WOYWW,  What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.   (but for me really late Tues.pm)  I'll be gone most of  Wednesday so wanted to do a quick post. If you are new to this, Julia at the
STAMPING GROUND  has all the info.
Not much on this desk, I spent time gathering up Valentine items to be put away, had to make a few Sympathy cards, have some book pages that I made some flowers from, face down a birthday book and a little note on measurements of my wall space.  I've an idea.
I seem to be wasting a lot of time walking around the BIG table since I rearranged. Only you all would understand. My DH will have me locked up if he knew ....a new floor plan is in order soon.

Then I had helpers while storing away left over snowmen, valentines and bringing out the spring and Easter items.
 This is Baxter the 18lb big cat finding his way up the ladder to take command in a storage area above our coat closet in the family room.

This is his brother Bailey 11lbs wishing he would have gotten there first. Behind the flag picture is the spot Bax was able to get into while I was bring rubber maids to put up there. It holds about 6 and lots of small items. They love high spots and always curious as to what I am doing.

Thanks to all of you for stopping by last week and leaving such nice comments, I didn't make too many visits as I had major computer problems again and I think I got most everything working Sunday.  So hope to visit a lot of you this week. We have had terrible winds and forecast for Thursday 6 or more inches of snow, so should be home to enjoy my time.

Have a great WOYWW and may you have sunshine your way with thoughts of SPRING!

great looking crafty space. I know what you mean about reorganization. I am seriously going to have to move rooms. Love the kitties. I have a girl that weighs about 11# and looks like your Bailey! Stormy is such a treasure and a love. I have computer issues this week. Gosh I hate the electronic age! Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #28

Lol! I have two 'helpers' like your cats as well!! They help me unravel wool, holding down fabric while I'm cutting..... NOT!! They're terrors when I'm doing stuff...normally they are quite well behaved..sigh..

ria gall said...

a great desk this morning and I understand what you mean about having to do a floor layout again, we need things to hand without having to move too much.
Your cats really do love to help you don't they
Wishing you a Happy WOYWW

Love the shots of the cats! They are such curious creatures! I totally understand about your floor plan issues. Just when we think we have everything just the way we want, we think of something else to make life easier!

Spyder said...

I'm going to have to weigh Jinx our lodger cat, he looks a little like yours and I'm sure he will give yours a run for his money when it comes down to weight! At the moment he's pushing mr=e out of my craft chair!! Thank you for my snoop around your great crafty space. HaPpY WoYwW!

Your helpers are so cute! I like your ink pad storage too...I need to try and find a different solution for mine. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x #65

Nan G said...

Ah yes ideas of new floor plans and rearranging! Am in the midst of one myself. Key word...myself...no helpers. Gonna take awhile. Love love the kitties. My old UBZ would beat me up the ladder. :) The girls are just discovering heights! Have a great week. Happy WOYWW! Nan 7

Neet said...

My goodness what big cats! Yet neither of them look overweight. Baxter is obviously fit if he got up there.
Sorry you are going to have to revamp your space - we only learn by trial and error.
Hope it does not hold you up on finishing your work on your desk.
Thanks for visiting me earlier, have a good day/week.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx

Kay Hammock said...

How nice to have Baxter and Bailey helping you out. When I was a kid I would re-arrange my room almost monthly, so I get excited when I hear "new floor plan." Tee hee

Thanks for visiting me already!

Happy WOYWW
Peace,

Cats are the most curios of creatures aren't they? Doesn't matter what you're doing they want to see! I think craft rooms are a perpetual work in progress as we acquire more stuff or our tastes change and we make different styles of things. I tens to leave my room LO the same as I don't have much space to play with but I often rearrange the drawers and cupboards. Hope the snow doesn't bother you too much but at least when it melts it'll be extra moisture, that I'm sure is needed.

Great space, but I do know what you mean about re-organizing. Nothing ever fits quite right like it shows in the magazines or on Youtube.

A good tidy organised area with the help of your cats of course. Perhaps that's where I am going wrong!

The House of Bears said...

Waving hello to Bailey and Baxter from their furry friends the bears. We love the way cats requisition spaces no matter how high up or awkward. Your craft space is very neat by the way, unlike ours this week.

Thanks for visiting the bears this week.

Sandy said...

Cats are so curious, give them a pat for me. Sympathy cards are on my list to make, find them a hard one to do so will be a bit of a challenge for me..
Thanks for visiting my blog already.

Mrs.D said...

Recently re-organised my work stuff, now I can't find anything. Spend all my time trying to remember where things are.
Love the cats, it's amazing how many crafters are 'cat people', mine just sits on my work if he want attention, not very popular when I am brayering or stamping.
I too love your ink pad storage, must find something like that.
Keep up the good work.
Chris

I think rearranging is one of the things I enjoy most about crafting. I am constantly looking for new and better ways to arrange my room. :-)

I loved the big cat pics! So cute! I have cat but she is small compared to yours.

Elizabeth said...

Nice shot of your desk and I love the photos of your lovely cats. I'm also impressed that you know how much they each weigh - if only the boss would sit still long enough on the scales! Elizabeth x #58
