I know that most visitors to my blog for WOYWW think that I'm always neat and tidy because I do tend to clear up quite often and put things away between crafting sessions.
Well, today (officially 'yesterday' now) turned out different to what was expected and we spent most of it at hospital with John having a suspected DVT in his leg.
So I came back home this evening to the state of how things had been left from crafting yesterday - I've been trying to make as many cards as possible, particularly Easter ones, ready to sell at church on Friday evening. Rather than tidy up and start again I went on this evening to make a couple of cards and add to the mess.
So here is my craft space with things all over the place:
Last week I started out with good intentions, visiting other WOYWWers, but I'm afraid that life with all it's ups and downs got in the way, not to mention the need to get lots of cards made ... so I didn't get to visit many blogs in the end. I'm not sure how well I'll do this week as John's got to go back to hospital tomorrow or the next day and I need to make up for lost time today (yesterday!) and make more cards for Friday evening. But I'll visit as many as I can. And a big THANK YOU to everyone who visits me and leaves comments - it is very much appreciated.
wow, you certainly look very busy Hazel!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, Deb #14
I see a very busy desk this week. I hope your hubby is better, although I have no idea what a DVT is. SO sorry to read about it, though. Happy WOYWW from #3.
ReplyDeleteA very creative desk indeed. :) I hope your husband is ok and is mended and well soon.
ReplyDeleteBusy bee desk going on today, sorry to hear about your husband hope all is well soon, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel, I'm a new WOY er, and just love seeing all these other studios and work tables!
ReplyDeleteYeah! great mess but so sorry to hear about DH. At least they can look after it and sort it... he'll be ok , don't worry. My DH had some in his lung after his hip op, and it was a close shave but with treatment he is fine.

ReplyDeleteYou can only do so much ,you need some down time yourself dont forget.Hope wednesday will turn out better than yesterday
hugs judex10
i hope John will be all fine as soon as possible. my sister had DVT and yes, we were very concerned. with all that happening, it's no wonder you haven't been able to visit a lot. even with the ordinary days, it's already a challenge to visit the many desks and still have time to craft!
ReplyDeletehappy WOYWW, and thanks for sharing!
hugs,

That must have been really scary. I know that is my biggest worry when i have my pending surgery, as I am overweight.
ReplyDeleteI think you should just get cracking on with your cards and not worry about leaving the comments right now.
People now know your schedule and we want you to be able to make as many as possible before Friday.
See you next week.
That is one busy desk! Hope John is ok and things settle. Helen. 32
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for letting us peek this week and I hope the rest of the week gives you some creative time too and John gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteNeil #61

ReplyDeleteBridget #15
Awesomely creative desk Hazel. I see lots of fun things I could play with! Hope your husband does well and doesn't have any problems with those DVT! Have a great week. Vickie #47
ReplyDeleteVery busy desk! Good luck on your cards! Thanks for sharing your space!
ReplyDeleteGosh Hazel, hope John isn't in too much discomfort, ow ow and so glad they're keeping an eye, even if does mean hours spent waiting in corridors, ugh! To be honest, I took a look at your desk and thought 'that's more like it' and then immediately knew that something wasn't quite right for you; you may pull it all out, but you're known for being a put-it-away gal too! I hope the Church sales isn't putting you under too much pressure.
ReplyDeleteLoVe your busy workdesk and hope hubby is soon back to normal. Debbie #89 xXx
ReplyDeleteHope your hubby is better soon! Looks like you have been very busy making cards, some lovely goodies on your desk too x

ReplyDeleteNow that is what my desk looks like normally! Also I have those self adhesive ribbons!
ReplyDeleteHope John is ok. This happened to me just short of a year ago and turned into a stay in hospital and then warfarin. Don't want to alarm you but be forewarned.
ReplyDeleteGosh Hazel, your desk is mega busy this week, good luck with the sale.
Hugs, Neet x
That is a very full desk. I struggle to get around the desks too, life does just get in the way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel, hope John is lots better and that it is not DVT. You look so busy lots of lovely crafting goodies. Good luck for Friday evenings sale. Hope you find some time to craft, life has a habit of interfering with our crafting time! Hope things turn out well at the hospital hugs Lou x

Hope that John soon feels much better, and I am surprised you managed to visit anyone with your timetable at the moment. It does cheer me up, though, to see things spread all over your desk. thanks for finding the time to visit, and commenting so kindly. have a much better week. xx Maggie #9
ReplyDeleteMy first visit to your blog & I understand it is not normally like this. You are obviously busy with it spilling out of cupboards too.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Husbands news is better.
Mistys Mum #99
pleased to read the update re your husband,hopefully you can now relax and craft,x
ReplyDeleteHazel, I'm glad to hear John doesn't have a DVT, which could have been very serious indeed. You must both be mightily relieved! Hope they sort out what the problem is, though.
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks great! You've got auch a lovely organised room with all the lovely shelves and things. One day I shall get mine straight, but it will probably have to wait till we move house!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad you like my stencils - I'm about to cut the 1/4-in circles one - I've been having some problems with them but the Black Cat forum people are absolutely brilliant for helping out!
Hopefully I'll have something on the choccie box insert to post next week!
Happy WOYWW,

A messy desk is a productive desk! Hope all goes well at hospital Hazel, thanks for sharing, hugs, Erika.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness your hubby does not have a DVT ...hope his leg feels better soon. As for your desk ....fantastic ...so glad we got a glimpse of a 'creative' desk this week xx
ReplyDeleteGood news for John! Being neat isn't a bad thing, really.... I have to clear up between projects, otherwise I get too distracted and unfocused.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the sale Friday!
Cheers,
Susan #140
Don't worry about visiting everyone... just stop by my place for sure...TE Heee...(just kidding) Take care of your hubby first and then the cards... the rest will fall into place by itself!! Take a little Hazel too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and hope your husband is feeling better. Where do you sell your cards besides bazaars? I guess I'd better get going on some Easter cards, I've let myself get distraced by card challenges! Focus, Barb! #116
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your hubby well. When he's better you can get on with your card order!
ReplyDeletexxx 104
Look! There are escapees from the cupboard! Welcome to the messy side. We have cookies... somewhere... maybe under that pile? I understand about so many cards to make and little time to do so. Sorry to hear that hubby isn't well.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that you DH is ok. What is that trying to escape from your cupboard, hope it's nothing important!!
ReplyDeletegood luck with the card making
janet #36
My desk only looks tidy because I put things away between projects and that was the stage I was at. I can totally relate. Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope you find more crafty time soon. x
ReplyDeleteWow - you've certainly been busy! Lots of prety colours amongst all the goodies too.
ReplyDeleteLita #67
I am learning something about blogging every day, and will add some close-ups of my desk next week. You have got some gorgeous colours going on there, and your pots of pens are fab. Hope your hubby is comfortable. Ali # 119

ReplyDeleteGlad your hubby doesn't have a dvt. They thought my hubby had one but turned out to be really high blood pressure causing the swelling and pain.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you are normal with a messy and creative desk.
Have a great week.

I'm so glad to hear things weren't as serious with your husband as you first thought. Hopefully, he's feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've been having a wonderful time at your desk!!!
You really should try making the Washi tape! It's fun, easy, and it's like having sticky ribbon any time you want it! Fun fun fun!
Thanks for popping by to peek at my mess!

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to stop by!
It’s somehow reassuring to see that you get in a mess too Hazel.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry to hear that John was having troubles again but at least it didn’t turn out to a DVT as you suspected. I really hope he’s on the mend soon.
Happy Crafting!
