Some of my readers will have no clue what WOYWW (which stands for "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday") is - a wonderful excuse to take a peep once a week at what other crafters have on their workdesks. This delightful snooping activity was dreamt up by Julia Dunnit of the Stamping Ground and you can find out all about it here.
Butterfly is sitting nearby and I shall be consulting her on what I am supposed to be doing. I do know that it includes visiting as many other WOYWW blogs as I can - a great way to procrastinate from the cleaning operation on many dolls houses that is scheduled for today and Thursday.
Well it started like this - lots of empty partitioned boxes and a mass of tangled wires, miniature lights, bulbs, switches and plugs, all collected over many years.
Some hours, many dropped bulbs, much coffee (spot the coffee mug) and a fair amount of swearing later I am delighted to report that my workdesk now looks very different.
Like this:
Now all I need to do is find an empty storage drawer under the dolls houses to take the tidy boxes and clear my workdesk for the next task!
I'm off to peer at as many workdesks as I can now and hope to meet some of you on the way.....
Oh welcome to WOYWW I have just popped from Butterflies desk to yours so I could see more of your wonderful space.. Have fun in your pretty room your doll houses look amazing.

Welcome to WOYWW, it's addictive so you better book all the Wednesdays in your diary.
ReplyDeleteI have a dolls house, bought not made, and I had hours of fun decorating it and filling it with little treasures. Look forward to visiting each week.

Hello Cestina and welcome to WOYWW from a mere newbie! I can promise, it really is very inspiring visiting (who is snooping here??!!) others workdesks!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job with sorting the electrics and all those bits 'n bobs! And the dolls houses standing in a row look so very pretty! (Vienna isn't that far away... *sigh ;).
Have a wonderful WW!

A very warm welcome Cestina, hope you enjoy your visits around blogland. You and Alison certainly did a good job organising your room for the dolls house renovations - very impressive indeed. I am looking forward to seeing how you both progress with the job in hand. The dolls houses look beautiful, like a little village.... Hope you have a happy WOYWW. Hugs, Anne x #33
ReplyDeleteWelcome along, it will be a fun ride I promise! The dolls houses look fabulous, I have been following your story since I heard about it from Alison... Happy WOYWW. Helen 12

Oh how pleasing to have before and after :-)
ReplyDeleteXX
But of course.....
DeleteHow lovely it is to meet you Cestina and welcome to the world of WOYWW. I have long been a great admirer of Alison's work and feel I have almost got to know her through blogging - I hope that you too will become a friend and you will meet and make many more.
ReplyDeleteMammoth job indeed that you have but look how quickly you sorted the wire and bulbs etc. All due, I think, to having someone else to sit by and just chat - sharing is always such a pleasure.
I wish you all the best with your new venture, keep us posted.
Hugs, Neet xx 1
Welcome to WOYWW, well done with all that sorting, it looked like a mammoth task. As for the acronym, we actually think it stands for Time To Procrastinate, in some other language! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe hope your bears are having fun house hunting, we like the look of them all and would have a hard job choosing one to live in.
Waving hi from the bears and saying thank you for your visit today. Enjoy your first WOYWW.
Welcome Cestina, I'm sure working alongside your lovely daughter will speed you in the mammoth task you have ahead! Good luck with it all and I look forward to seeing how you are getting on. Chris#61
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Cestina. I know you will spend many a happy hour doing more procrastination, wandering round the many desks on show. thank you for sharing your dolls houses with us and good luck getting it all organised to your satisfaction. xx Maggie #17

welcome to WOYWW it is lovely to have you along for the ride. I have just come from butterfly's blog and have seen all the hard work you have both been doing getting the dolls houses out of packaging and ready to bring back to life. Well done both of you.

Oh my goodness--how excited I am to find a blog about dollhouses!! I may be 52 years old--but I always have to have a dollhouse. I just finished hanging a cute little clothesline by the kitchen a couple of days ago! I will be happy to see your progress towards your dream of a dollhouse museum--I love it! Welcome to WOYWW, and thanks so much for visiting me! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #28

Hello Cestina, welcome aboard the mad world of WOYWW. That is quite a bit of organising and untangling you have been doing there, but it is coming on a treat. That is a very small coffee cup for the job in hand, of is it in its own little slot in the desk? Have a great day. Hugs Mo #62 x
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you Cestina, you'll be addicted to this workdesk family so be warned!!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with your organising and I love all those dollshouses, wow.
Happy WOYWW

Welcome to the whacky and addicting world of WOYWW, Cestina! It's a delight to be introduced to you by Allison and come over here and meet you firsthand! It's obvious where she gets her creative talent and how fortunate you are to have her, and her organizational skills, working with you side-by-side! Your miniatures are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best with the work, the museum, and the coming holiday week! Darnell #43
Great job organizing your goodies. Happy Wednesday! SueC#137

Thanks for stopping by. Your blog looks interesting and fun. Welcome to WOYWW, it's an addictive venture. Czech Republic...I've family there, hope to visit in the fall, my son is in Germany. The organizing and re-organizing does pay off, just so time consuming, and you wonder why has it gotten so bad. But we are all guilty and in a hurry to venture to other duties.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Enjoy the Easter holiday glad to be a follower.
Oh Wow! I followed your blog from the comment you left on my WOYWW page! Thank you! My first love was in creating Dolls Houses but alas, Not enough room! Until I win the Euromillions I am concentrating on making altered art! Love to the Snowy Czech Republic xxx
