woyww being daring!

Having had such encouraging comments last week - Thank You very much, I'm back again! Thanks to Julia I also got to see quite a few of your work desks last week, though not as many as I would have liked! 
Having been to Port Sunlight,Happy Stampers show I had a lot of unmounted stamps and as I wanted to take them away with me to the caravan I just had to stick at the task...sort of!!
Can you see two of my journals - yes, there you see - the other one is just peeking out at the right of the picture! Well, to give my cutting hand a break I just had to play with my inks in between! I've put some of the smaller stamps into a CD case to take - they are little quotes from Lost Coast Designs.
Want to see more...like whats behind the journal? OK!
Still to be tackled - some little boxes and my bowls that I keep dropping random items into! My sewing machine at the front and behind that my embellishing machine(this one still to be used properly)
Right, now this next view is a bit of a cheat - I'm going to show you the whole room - just about - but the photo is a reflection in my Gran's mirror! All the time she had it she would tell me that when she was gone she wanted me to have it - so here it is - I had to wait a long time for it thank goodness, she was 101 when she died!
Thank you ballerina for hiding me, must away for a shower and then off we go, it's sunny today so we need to make the most of it!
Thanks for looking, Chris

    The journal background on the left is looking good. What a great space you have to craft in.

    Well what a fab mirror. Our gran lived to be nearly 101 too. She was a seamstress so we think we inherited her genes. x Jo

    Well done you for taking the plunge and joining in on WOYWW. Missed you last week as I haven't done any crafting or blogging for a few weeks.
    Missed Port Sunlight as well which was a pain as I didn't get my rubber fix - see you made up for it though.
    Lovely desk and even more lovely mirror, 101 - what a fantastic age.

    loved looking at your desk some very interesting stuff on there. Your journal page looks good and I see you have a cuttlebug, I had one but when I bought a Vagabond I sold it now I wish I hadn't done so. Looks like you will have many years of crafting if Grandma lived to 101! Hope the weather stays nice for you at the caravan.BTW are you going to GNPE I am so we could meet up for a coffee if you are, it's this weekend. Pat xx

    My Grandma was nearly 101 when she died. Don't they leave behind wonderful lagacies when they live that long?.

    Your studio is so light and airy. Lucky you with a sewing and an embellishing machine. It must be in the genes.... longevity....and the mirror was well worth waiting for:)
    have fun, Chris!
