WOYWW - 165

It's that day of the week again - Wednesday and time for a good old snoop round other desks. I took a quick photo of mine when I left it yesterday lunchtime to go on a shopping mission which involved driving to five different and quite far apart locations - I was doing really well until I ended it all up with a supermarket run. WHY do they keep re-organising a perfectly decently set-up shop? It seems they do it to confuse - or perhaps to get folk to buy more when they end up somewhere they didn't expect to be :( Grump, grump!

Anyhow, this was my desk, and it's exactly the same right now apart from one missing item:

The basket at the back holds over 30 cards, waiting for inserts - sigh :( In front is some luscious organza butterfly patterned ribbon and others, waiting for thoughts about a card to clarify. A couple of sponge finger daubers waiting to be cleaned. Towards the front are papers, ribbons and a sheet of Penny Black Stickeroos for another card and the little round thing in a cream and green packet is what's now missing.

I took it out with me to give it to my hairdresser, Any ideas what it is? We were chatting last week, on the day of the unplanned mahoosive hair chop, about forthcoming long haul holiday flights and how mind-numbingly boring they can be. It transpires that she's also a cross stitcher but no longer takes her 'work in progress' to while away the time on flights due to the 'sharp objects restrictions'. When I described a 'flight friendly' thread cutter she was bemused, so I got one for her and that's it on the desk. It's made by 'Clover' and is rather like a Tim Holtz distressing tool but sharper - it's a metal disk with lots of notches around a blade sandwiched safely inside, which can then be used to cut threads when scissors aren't allowed. I trotted into the salon with it yesterday afternoon on my travels and she's 'pickled tink', I didn't stay long though in case she decided to take even more off my hair :(

To see what everyone else is up to this week, hop over to Queen Julia's - firstly to see if those ladders are still in the garden and then to see who else has linked in this week :)

And above all, have a very Happy WOYWW!
