WOYWW 219 - A Small Tour..

Hello Fellow Blog Hopping Blogging Friends!  

Yikes!  It is Wednesday....AGAIN???!!!  How did that happen?  I swear this year is flying past at a very fast rate of knots!  

Well, it is Wednesday, WOYWW day, Hump Day, Official Nosey Parker Day and HUGE Blog Hop Day that we all know as What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday with the hostess Julia.  

I thought today I would give you a mini tour of my room, as I have a few nosey friends who asked me to.  As I had a new desk section delivered last week and my room is currently fairly tidy (for me anyhoo) I thought why not.  So here is my lovely drawer cabinet that Mr Hettie kindly built for me and I painted every one of of those pesky drawers.  I am slowly collecting knobs to go on there and it is fun to find them in different places.  This is on the left as you go in my room.

Here is my Fairy Door to allow the Fairy Folk to wander in and out of my world.  This is why there is always Fairy dust on my floor!!
Here is the view as you walk into my room.  Both desks are back to back on the right.  I tend to use the glass one for paper crafting and the opposite one for guests or sewing (and die cutting/overspill)  The little table on the left is where I put current projects for working on or drying.  Those window can be opened outwards and gives a wonderful breeze and a great view.  
And here is the end view of ground control with my new desk piece.  Oh how I have been wanting this double unit.  I already had the single on the right of my desk but now I have been able to put all the paper trays together and sort the drawers on my right to hold my wooden stamps.  
It feels good to have them like this, though not all my wooden stamps have made it in here yet, give me time.  I also want some space for me to grow into with my collection!
Right folks.  Please leave me a comment so I know you have been to visit (and nose) and then click HERE to be taken by Fairy magic to the desk of the hostess to visit other like minded bloggers who are sharing their desk!

Thanks for calling.  You may now use the exit located behind you!

Hugs

Hettie

Wow Hettie, that is an amazing craft room. I adore the drawer unit your hubby built- I am crazy about the 'merchants chest' type of thing with zillions of drawers in to poke about through! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #45 xx

Darnell said...

Oh, Sam, I don't know where to start!! First, thank you for sharing! My nose is HHAAAPPPY!!

Your space is like a brilliant store for shopping! I love the doors and the bunting, TWO ATG guns?, and is that a pink chair? The unit your hubs made is AMAZING! Great job with the painting and I adore the adorable knobs!

But the glass desk ends! I'm dying here. I may need to switch out my desk, I love that SO much. Is that IKEA?? Please don't tell me I can't get it over here!

Aren't I bad? I have this incredible Playhouse and I'm drooling over your space, LOL!!

Enjoy it! xxoo Darnell #19

VonnyK said...

Ooh, I've just spent ages snooping around your room. It's fantastic, so much storage and I love the glass desk. I'd love at least half your storage. That is one fine craft room, lucky you can't see how green I am right now :)
Have a great week and enjoy that room.

The Taming of the Glue said...

What a gorgeous room to work in. Could you send me your hubby so he could make me some cupboards for my room! I'm sure you could rent him out to lots of crafters!! Hugs. Pam#33 xx

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I had to laugh at the exit comment. Funny. I totally adore the idea of mismatched knobs. That shows a true crafter. And of course, the magic fairy dust appears at my place, too. Only MINE is just DUST.

Thanks for dropping by yesterday while I slept. Happy only a litte late WOYWW from #1.

Unknown said...

well I love it all, the unit you was waiting for was well worth the wait :-) and the fairy door, just to cute I need one. The double unit.. hummm I didn't even know they made one how cool is that. I think its a great place to create! Looks very inviting.
Thanks for sharing and Bright Blessing to you and yours. Roberta 55

Oh Sam, this is so gorgeous! I love the units Mr Hettie made. I would love to be nosy and see how you organized storage in them too. We crafters are always looking for good ideas.

Your new unit and the existing one are fabulous. Those slim drawers are so perfect for your stamps...you are going to be so organized now.

I love your room and I'm wso glad you shared it...we all chat to each other about our work and how we make it and it is so fun to see where we make it. I enjoyed the little table that you dry your projects on...I have a wee table like that out in the garage somewhere...perhaps I will drag it down to my room as that is a great idea too!

Maybe one day I can be a friend at that other table!

Our trip is half over and we are still having lots of fun. I am walking further and faster now. We arrived in /Filey today and are off to the ocean to walk the dog in the morning. A bacon butty (sp) and a coffee at the beach hut and then back for a mooch about the village!
Should be a fun day!

Hope you are well rested now from your long drive to meet me. Take care.

Queen Lightwell said...

Love the color of blue on those drawers! Your room looks very spacious, all kinds of room to spread out in and wow! Those windows! Lovely! :) Thanks for showing us round and for stopping by to see my "new" space and leaving me such a sweet comment. Glad you enjoyed the fabric and paper sections! :) Enjoy the rest of WOYWW dear! Deeyll

ElizabethR said...

Fab room of stash love the Fairy door I think every craftroom should have one of those. Have a fab weekend xxx

scrappymo! said...

Me again! lol
Forgot to say that I love the Fairy Door...it is so sweet!

I am looking ofrward to meeting the two Sue's in Scarborough...I have ditched Mr Scrappymo though...he is banned from all bloggy reunion meets due to bad behavior.

Can't remember if I mentioned that there is a small cardmaking store in Whitehaven...best of all they had several 10p baskets of embellies and glittered papers.
Got some more charms too and you will have a giggle...I am now the proud ower of 4 magazines!
I can see shy people want to buy them...the giveaways are fab...One has a gorgeous pony stamp for Little Miss C. I managed to get a plane stamp for Little Mr P at the same store for a pound! It was regular priced around 7 pounds.
They are going to be happy campers!

Went to the Lowther Farm where I was a ninny and didn't buy the linen pillows with gorgeous trout inked onto them. I saw them in a shop today for twice the price!

Have my eyes peeled for another Agricultural Show in this area! Need to see more fun little dogs cut across the track...What a hoot!

Nikki said...

WOW look at all that fun space you have and what a great collection of knobs for your drawers it's a sweet unit that the DH built for you lucky girl :) hugs Nikki 10 thanks for the visit

Words and Pictures said...

Oh what a wonderful crafty space! I also work up in the eaves - but it's my whole living space too - at least for another 8 weeks. I LOVE your built-in drawer cabinet, and the quirky knobs are fabulous... and I can see why you were coveting that unit. Fairy door = fabulous!!

Rita said...

What a lovely cabinet your hubby made and the drawers at the end of your desk are wonderful! What a space to work in! I am so glad you came by to visit me so that I got the tour. (WOYWW#100)
