What's On My Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks...have you recovered from the Christmas celebrations...Christmas is all about spending time with family and friends...the excitement of the parcel opening frenzy on Christmas morning and if you're like me eating until you are fit to burst but after 3 days of making merry this old biddy is suffering from bah humbug and beach-whaled syndrome...the temptation of Christmas Cake and all those yummy bites are stretching my willpower to the limit so perhaps it's time to lock myself away in the cubbyhole...if I'm crafting then I can't be nibbling.
And hey it's Wednesday and that means it's time to join Julia and all her crafty buddies over at WOYWW...our last chance of 2011 to have a peek into crafty spaces across the globe. So what's on my workdesk today...I had every intention of the cubbyhole being out of bounds until 2012 but...and it's a great huge BUT...the first work commissions of 2012 landed in my Inbox just before Christmas and the cubbyhole crew are bracing themselves to get stuck into some frantic Fiskars crafting....
My Workshop Project for the NEC in March
along with 2 Projects for the Prima Demos at the show
need to be done and dusted by the beginning of January
and wait for it....
24 samples and step-by-steps for the launch of the new 2012 products at the
CHSI Trade Show at The NEC in February

OH YEAH...it's back to HEADLESS CHICKEN AND PANIC STATION MODE again
even The Furry Boy has that "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS" look on his face...
And isn't hindsight a wonderful thing...I should have added "crafting inspiration in times of need" onto this year's Santa list and talking of Santa...no not the big fat man in the red suit...the other one who goes by the name of Mario...yes Timmie's right hand man...look what arrived in the cubbyhole on Christmas Eve....my "12 tags" prize parcel....great timing Santa Mario and a wonderful Christmas surprise...
I already have this gorgeous set of Texture Fades so they will be winging their way to one of my crafty buddies who has recently been bitten by the Timmie bug.  I'm off to make a cuppa...whip the cubbyhole crew into shape and pray for some divine intervention in the inspiration department.   See you all tomorrow to share what I've been making with the gorgeous Kraft With Colour Project Kit from Craftwork Cards.
Hugs Kath xxx

    Looks very interesting with that little bundle & Buddy looks ready to help - perhaps some paw punching might be helpful. Hope you get a chance to play with your Timmie Prize as well.
    Have a good day - I'm sorting paperwork & tidying the chaos in my room.

    Congrats on your TH Win. Was a fun surprise for me too. Oh the Joys of Christmas, I guess hosting 2 times is the result of some wonderful healthy leftovers and I am truly enjoying them!! Many sweets came from visiting my DH family so there is temptation.
    Have fun with the Fiskers!! Enjoy WOYWW and may you and yours have a healthy and wonderful NEW YEAR.
    We are thankful for some beautiful warm weather and no snow, makes for great travel.

    Hi Kath,
    Glad it's not me facing those deadlines, good luck there! I need to get going and make a special birthday card for January but the inspiration got thrown out with the Christmas wrapping paper.
    Whenever I need a kick start I read your blog, as you inspire me to craft!
    Happy New Year when it comes

    Looks like you're going to be pretty busy Kath. I've not achieved anything since last week so I'd best get something done soon.

    I know what you mean about all those tasty bites lurking around. Kinda wish I hadn't made the Christmas cake, mince pies, shortbread and tablet now. And maybe the crisps, nuts and sweeties were a mistake too. Still it's only once a year lol!!

    As my Gran would always say "No peace for the wicked"!! And there was us thinking you'd been very, very good this year! I have to agree, Buddy looks a tad concerned there! I'm sure you'll get it cracked, but what a way to end the year!

    Hugs

    Hi Kath. First off, Buddy is absolutely adorable!!! Funny, I posted a photo of Daisy on my WOYWW post today. Yep, 2011 has gone to the dogs! hee hee

    I worked on my wreath today and it's almost done. Met some friends for a movie and now I'm doing the blog hop thing.

    May 2012 be a crafty year!!

    It's a holiday and you're still working! Good luck with the deadlines. Buddy looks as lovable as ever. Love the TH stamps - congratulations on your win. Happy New Year to you and yours, and Buddy, of course. Elizabeth x

  34. SueHDecember 29, 2011 at 6:44 PM

    24 samples…….no wonder Buddy is looking bemused and there was me thinking that my schedule of needing to make eleven cards for the start of January was pushing it a bit. Just goes to prove there’s always someone worse off, Lol!
    I’m sure you’re going to have fun with all those punches though and your new TH stamps.

    Happy New Year to you and ……..
    Happy Crafting!
