WOYWW.......Still One Messy Craftroom

good morning Woywwers well Wednesday again and unfortunately not alot on the workspace ie creations or crafting.As im hard at clearing out my craftroom ,rearranging,and awaiting new storage.But id youd like to go and have anosey at the other blogs where you may see some creations in the making .Go join in over at the bosses Blog Julia here.
Well sorry girls not much going on in my craftroom this week again .But after last weeks WOYWW you all asked to see my mess well this is what your getting this week...lol A big Sure Mess.although it is looking abit better this morning after taking these photos last night i have cleared away another trolley.Now ive youd like some crafty stuff from storage trolleys to Magnolia Stamps.Prima flowers pop by here and see what i have for sale.I shall be adding daily im sure.Hopefully next week i will have my new layout and will add piccys to show you.Plus may have some Clearout candy.....which have bought in specially !
Look at this trolley this is before it was tidyied last night
This is actually my craft desk and corner what a mess think i need thosae Christmas Wowyyer Elfs to help me!Whatcha think??

Heres another trolley this one is now empty and has ben put up for sale .Gosh it is amazing what you find ,how much stuff you really do hoard .The amoutn of stuff ive got to alter and have kept is untrue .But ive made apromise to myself i will alter 1 aweek ...she says time permitting.

At the moment time isnt on my side or this would have been finished by now.But my eldest daughter hasnt been wel now for nearly going on 6months.At long last hubby and i took her back to the drs last friday and demanded they do more tests.Well they listened so glad they did as they have come back abnormal .Her blood tests showing tooo many Neutrophils .Whihc is not good but imnot dwelling on it im being positive they always say Nurses make the worst patients.being a nurse and a mum we have general idea whats going on.Im only hoping im proved wrong and the test comes back positive for Glandular fever although Decembers was negative.So my week has been taken up taking her back forthe to drs and hospital.but im hoping to get the room finished by this time next week as i have DT cards to create.
just hope not thrown my mojo out whilst clearing out...lol.
Thanks for all your lovely comments and wishes im feeling much better and the Anti-biotics seem to have worked.I just feel these GP's so quick to diagnose Virual infection so they dont need to treat and we suffer in the long run.But hey ho im doing ok!
So i shall be popping by to se all the lovely creations youve been making whilst ive been a Trashing!Hope you liek my new blog design thought new craftroom new blog layout...lol
Happy Wednesday
Love n hugs

The piccy below shows you my table next to mt craft table have got to sort through flowers and put with others in the jars (£1 bargain ecah from tescos)these jars are fab for holding flowers and colour co-ordinated too!so getting organised.The box of flowers i need to sort and put away in the appropriate jars. My punches ive just left there for now given them a well earned dust..lol .Now My storage i keep card ,paper pads as well as odd sheets.this certainly needs my attention.On the table our 2 baskets bottom basket full various sized envelopes think i have more than staples.The top basket these are pro to types of items ive made from templates whihc i keep.Small plastic draws are full of stamped images whihc ive recently done and sorted out .ones need colouring ones already coloured ect.So not done too bad.On the floor inbetween my big craft table and small is my sewing m,achine thats prob been out the box twice,so that had well deserved dust too!I keep telling my self need to dust!Few tins and boxes to alter plus my prima white flowers which i used to colour myself with copics ,glimmer mists ect.
Cant show you the floor or behind my chair as well absolutely disgusting that is todays job.So you will have to pop back next week you never know mya have just sorted everything else!
