Good morning to all of the WOYWW deskers. I had intended to get on here early, but got distracted by the tv this morning, and then had to go and deliver the farm truck to get its MOT done. It is that time of year. We took the campervan for its service 2 weeks ago, on Monday I was there with my car and now it is the truck. We perhaps need to move next door to the local village garage we use! In May the Maserati needs to be serviced, and that involves a trip to Swindon (nearest dealership now - remind me to persuade hubby to sell it this year!).
There is absolutely no crafting going on at the moment (I have taken the needle felting kit downstairs every evening this week, but not got round to actually opening the box). However, I am now getting really brutal with my decluttering (all sorts of stuff went to the charity shop and tip this week - stuff I had been displaying on shelves, but I realised that I did not need these 'things' to keep a memory). In fact, I am going to be removing furniture from my craft room/office once they are completely emptied. I think I will just call it my office, as so little crafting occurs (I am keeping my rock art supplies, pens/pencils and possibly that is all).
If it is ok, I will bring the best quality stash with me to the Crop, and it can go for donations to the Donkey Sanctuary. My 2 Ikea Raskog carts will be needing new homes too, and happy to reserve them for anyone who needs more storage in their craft rooms (one teal, one cream). I also have lots of the 'Really Useful' storage boxes - A4, A3 and 12x12. Shout if they could be useful for you. Everything will be less than half the new price.
My picture this week is the start of a pile of stash that I no longer use (or never used!).
It is interesting how our priorities in life change. A few people have said but what if you want to do some papercrafting in a few months time? I remind them that I used to spend 7 hours per day doing cross stitch (for myself and clients); I had an Ebay shop and market stalls selling cross stitch kits etc. Then, one day I realised that I just didn't want to stitch anymore - and I haven't. That was about 8 years ago. I can always do some digital designs anyway, and I have a craft shop in our local town (plus The Works) if I suddenly need some supplies urgently.
I am just working through getting a domain name that I have had for a while transferred to where I have Wordpress sites hosted (Bluehost), and then I will be starting a new WP blog (a lot of the posts from on here will be transferred too).
Will do a post on here and on Instagram giving the link for the new site when it is up and running.
Enjoy the rest of your day. I have a very long To Do list - including finalising my outfit for a wedding on Saturday. Think I will need new shoes to go with the new dress, so perhaps going out to town tomorrow to do some shopping.
Happy Easter for all who celebrate.
