Not a lot happening on my desk craft wise, but I do have lots of new toys and magazines to peruse. I do plan on sitting down this afternoon and playing lots but not before surfing the desks to see what others have been up to in my absence, sorry life just got away from me these last 2 weeks and there is so much happening in my life, I sometimes wonder if it is ever going to slow down.
If you want to see more desks then pop on over to Julia's place called The Stamping Ground where she can explain it better.
Yoda's is not wanting his photo done today but he is staying warm and happy, he waves HI to all his friends.
So that's it for me, I am off to say hello to some really dear people.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda

Morning Eliza, I've been wondering for a long time if life will slow down as I get older....mmm, sorry - nope, I suppose you've just got to squeeze more in or leave off the unimportant bits. Glad you're back have a great week, cheers
What a great desk. I love your little storage cabinets on your desk. What is that flat black thing on your desk?? I used to wish life would slow down a bit, now I am on disability and it feels like a screeching halt. I'd go crazy without my crafting. I wish I had discovered WOYWW years ago. But I'm here now, and it's definitely helped me fill my days. I'm getting to "meet" and know lots of really talented, and inspirational folks. Enjoy your new toys. (((HUGS)))

I don't think I'd ever be able to create in that room with that incredible view. You are SO lucky.
I find it hard to get everything done, too. At least you are taking time for yourself today. Happy WOYWW from #2.
I'm with you on the life getting in the way. School holidays just finished up here. I think it's the cold too, hurry up spring I say.
Have a great week and hope you get to crafting soon.

Gorgeous view and such an organised desk :-) It just looks like it's ready for some crafty creativity. :-D
Have a great day.
Happy WOYWW

janet #41
I'll take you up on your advice...cold beers have been drunk in plenty over the past few days, especially after I got home from playing with my brass band...phew, it was boiling!!
You have such a pleasant aspect from your desk, it must be lovely to sit there and craft...I'll come and play one day :-)
Hugs, LLJ 46 xx
Hi Eliza
I love your window - with those panes. It really makes such a pretty picture and is that a Yucca I spy outside?
Missed you on here over the past two weeks - and Yoda of course - but understand you live such a busy life. Just hope your busy-ness is all good.
Hugs to you and furry family.

Love the view from that window! Thanks for your visit earlier! It's great to see you in the world of WOYWW - and maybe we'll be honoured with a glimpse of Yoda next week, if the force is with him, of course! Julie Ann x #45
Nice new things there and a delightful white picket fence to look at through the window too. Thanks for visiting me already BJ#56
Yes, pretty room with a view.See that you live in Melbourne.We are expecting a change, so you may get rain soon.
Thanks for your comment on my blog re asthma.
Yes I have put away all the flannelette.I stayed outdoors mostly today, and feel a little bit better.I seem to be experiencing anxiety attacks with this as well.The breathing quietens them down.How long have you had asthma.
I have a contact email form on my blog if you'd like to reply.
Many thanks Judy
A desk full of potential and possibilities how wonderful. Thank you for dropping by
Lynn :)
Yummy desk this morning, Eliza - lots of new goodies to look at, hold and play with.
Enjoy, and have a great week.
Margaret #48
Thanks for visiting me! I hope you will have a great time creating the cards! Also I really love the way you pimped your drawers! It is really inspiring. Uniflame - 63
Hi there. your desk looks so inviting! Thanks for popping by my blog earlier. Not sure which images you were referring to in your question, if it was the stamps, they are PaperArtsy, I got mine from The Craft Barn. If you are talking about the Prince of Persia images on the journal page, they were from a movie book on the film at my local 99p store!
Hope you have a good day.

Happy WOYWW and I wish you a lovely week.

We're all waving our paws at the elusive Yoda. Sometimes we just want to be left alone too.

Hi Eliza - love seeing out your bright window - lots of natural light there - and such a clean space - Happy WOYWW - Mxx #87
You will have to be quick to grab some bargains think the store will only be open a few more weeks if that.. They have sold the building quicker than they thought and they have to get out soon but not letting us know when yet.. Hope you got some time to craft and I want to see what you made, its always so lovely. Pat Yoda for me..
Sandy :)
What a wonderful desk, so neat and clear! I wish mine would look like that.
Thank you for your visit and leaving a kind comment

Hi Eliza, thanks for swinging by my blog and leaving a lovely comment. It's my first time to your blog, would have liked to have met Yoda :) I would like a rummage through that magazine stack of yours...Happy WOYWW. Cx #36

Glad to hear Yoda is doing well and I love the look of all your goodies on your desk. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#78)

You have a beautiful space to create in - love the window!
I love the different views of your desk and your pretty drawers are just gorgeous!
I also love your view! It would definitely be a distraction for me. I think your desk is calling you to play! Thanks for visiting my space and happy WOYWW!

A desk just waiting for you to play, how wonderful. Hi to yoda

Love your window! I'd spend all my time looking outside instead of playing. I do have a window but my view is not as nice as yours! Great desk by the way. Also I have signed up to follow you this afternoon!

That pile looks so wonderful I want to jump in! I was shocked that you didn't sign off "Eliza and Yoda" today! I am glad to hear he is OK, and waving hi!!
xxDaniella#17
Hello Eliza, you have a gorgeous view from your desk, lotssss of great things to play with, love the boxes you covered on your desk. Sadly life only seems to go faster the older we get, mine is spinning by LOL.I hope you get some time to play with your NBUB stuff, thanks for stopping by and sharing you lovely room with us, have a great week, it's 45C in Ontario,not my kind of weather..
Hugs to Yoda! Lovely view out your window. Must be nice to have all that natural light to craft by. Oh, you'll have to let us know how you like or not the envelope maker thingy. Thanks for the earlier visit. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #104
Short and sweet for you today, Eliza, and your desk is always fun to look at! A cozy retreat! Waving "hi" back to Yoda!
Thanks for coming by to visit me! Happy WOYWW and have a wonderful week! Darnell #20
Thanks for the visit already. Give Yosda some love from my son Luke Skywalker! He loves cats, and they seem to be from the same galaxy...LOL Great looking desk all ready for action!
Thank you for stopping by my blog already! Spent another day at the clubhouse making the last of the quickie inspirational cards. ùjust have to do the inserts when ùi get home. No printer up here...or actually the printer we do have up here, is not compatible with the new hellish windows 8. Arggggh
Your desk is always so pretty with those beautiful boxes and drawers you covered...So pretty indeed.
Hope you new flooring project goes quickly.
Thanks for calling by yesterday. I'm only just getting round to doing a bit of blog hopping to check out what my friends have been up to this week....a 6am to 9pm day with my gorgeous grandchildren yesterday sort of got in the way of blogging....but I'm not complaining cos it was a wonderful day. :-)
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
A x #55
I hope you put your feet up and relax and read your magazines
What a lovely view out of your window
Jackie 39
Hope you are getting to create at that desk...what did you end up doing about flooring anyways? I probably need to do some online stalking and catch up with you a bit, huh? :) Thanks for stopping by my cave and leaving a comment already. I have been spending a bit too much time in the chairs, but school starts back up again soon so I feel like creating is something I better get done while the getting is good, if you know what I mean! lol :) Well, at the moment sleeping is something I must be getting done! Big hug dear! :) Deeyll
Hi Yoda, keep warm, I know what those Melbourne winters do to you. I have not been in my craft room for a week myself to do anything except look to see if everything is still there lol
Bridget #71
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment and apologies for the late visit.
First of all,I adore that little wooden drawer uniti on your desk! How lovely is that!
I am hoping to maybe sell that little canvas piece at some point. I am still fairly new to 'art' and since I have now finished college and am unemployed I was hoping to try and get together as many pieces as possible and organise my own exhibition. There is a place that does it for free so I have nothing to lose really. Just need some self confidence that's all.
Take care and happy 'belated' WOYWW
Jackie #62
Thanks for dropping by and apologies for the late visit.
this will be the second time I've sent this comment, my computer decided to log me out so don't know if the first one went or not. If it is a 'double post' then feel free to delete one.
Still new to Art as opposed to the crafting side of things. i am hoping to arrange a little art exhibition in the near future, there is a place in town that does it for free, so i have nothing to lose, just need some self confidence in the end.
Take care
Jackie #62
Happy belated WOYWW. A tidy desk this week, but lots of lovely new stuff to get to work on!
Bernice #7
So annoying how life gets in the way of doing creative stuff...your workplace is lovely! :)
Jean 9
What a lovely organised desk. Your tools, scissors etc seem all in reach and unlikely to get buried under all your work.
And that view is super.
It looks as if you've got some interesting things on your desk, Eliza, even if you haven't had much time to do anything! Life gets like that sometimes... Your room is lovely, with the beautiful window.
Thanks for your lovely comment - so glad you like my new room! Just wait until I start making a mess in there lol!! Isn't the online community great - I'm so glad you enjoy Lindsay the Frugal Crafter too - she's such a source of inspiration and fun, and such a sweet kind person too!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #116
It's good to stop and smell the roses, and look at that view!
Oh my...look at your beautiful light and that neat desk! Thanks for visiting, Eliza!
You have a beautiful view from your desk, and those colorful drawers look very inspirational. Blessings!
A late visit from Brisbane, apologies!! :) Love the view you have from your desk, how lovely to sit and be able to look out on that... makes me want to turn my desk the other way as at the moment I face the wall which isn't very inspiring! Annette #8
That’s a nice neat desk this week Eliza, but it seems very strange not seeing Yoda somewhere in the vicinity. As you know, we’re having a heat wave here in the uk so may be Yoda could come for a holiday, then he’d stay warm.
Happy Crafting!

Wow what a beautiful desk you have Eliza...and such a pretty outlook to top it off! Lucky you! Thanks for stopping in to check my desk. Vikki #95
"Creative Mode" - I will have to remember that one :)
I LOVE your crafting space with that lovely view. Seems life's nature IS exactly that: to be getting in one's way all the time ;)
Crafting always means a little "escaping" too I guess. Thanks for your lovely visit!
And a wonderful Apres-WW!

Hello Eliza ... thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely comments ... the "plastic stuff" on the card is just acetate run through my Big Shot in one of Tim Holtz's Texture Fades Folder thingies ... I have a thing about embossing acetate and try to get it on as many cards as I can but most people think I have lost the plot!
Haven't the Vagabond's been disappointing? I loved it to begin with but began to wish I'd never bought one.
I LOVE your workdesk and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your altered drawers ... very much to my taste ... actually I'd just LOVE your whole workdesk please.
My niece lives in Melbourne ... guess it's a big city though and you live one side and her another.
Happy Crafting ... Love Debbie xXx
No, life does not slow down as you get older, there just seems to be less of it to fit everything into. With my arthritis, I am struggling to get round and do all the things that need doing. I need longer days. I am fortunate with the men doing my roof and a few other jobs. We sorted it all out before the job was agreed and they just get on with it. I know them so I can trust them with a key if I need to go out. I now have a gardener and a cleaner to do all the bits I can't do, don't want to do etc etc. That does give me a little more time to play with. Thank you for your visit this week and your encouraging comments. Have a good week. xx Maggie #18
Ooo new stuff to play with. And although it seems like life is really crazy, I have learned to MAKE time. Even if it's only 15 minutes. My life stays on a constant merry go round between work, home and creativity - all of which happen in the same location - my house. So yeah, I get it. Creative Blessings and Hugs!
Kelly #105
Oh Eliza, you have a wonderful desk with that lovely view.
There's just not enough hours in a day, is there. Please say hi to Yoda for me :)

What a fabulous workspace you have and so lovely to work at. Thanks for visiting and sorry for being super-late this week!! Happy Woyww Liz
I always think your desk is so pretty. Have a great week.

Hi Eliza
you and I must have been seconds away from clicking Mr Linky LOL. I do hope you get to play. Give Yoda a pat...wish I was there playing with your stash! What is that scoring envelope making thingo Eliza?

Wow thanks for sharing your Fabulous WOYWW xx Jan (15)
This is my first time to your desk, and I have to say you have the most delightful view from your space and a very tidy desk. I look forward to seeing what you create here in coming weeks. Have a great week and Happy WOYWW! Danie #25
A very tidy desk. I love your little storage drawers. Have fun reading your new magazines etc.
Bernice #39
I hope things get to slow down a little and you get time to craft more and read your magazines
Jackie 10
Hi Eliza - I cannot imagine your life slowing down at all, you are such a busy bee.
I so enjoy coming to your corner of the world (desk) and to make up for not seeing Yoda this week I can gaze out of your window and imagine all the lovely plants and the sunshine out there (yes, we are back to rain at home in the NW of England).
Love to you and your special little guy - not forgetting the other fur babies.
Hugs, Neet xx
I'm with you too, life does get in the way and everything moves too fast for me these days.
You know, I think I must purchase some magazines - as its usually too hot for my art space these days, magazines would be a great idea to keep me going.
Love your desk.
Lynda #59
Hi there and know so well what you man re life. Mine has been very challenging of late!! I've been told to slow down by my GP as BP sky high but it is hard. Still hoping to decorate my wooden drawers - always think yours look so pretty. Happy WOYWW Anne x #24
Such a lovely spot to sit and craft and such a tidy desk.

Give Yoda a scratch from Skywalker my son. Love the dies I can see, pity we can't reach into screens and borrow them and put them back, that way we could all share so nicely!
Hi and thanks for calling by my blog earlier. i don't think I have visited your desk before. I just love those pretty sets of drawers. You have a great light to work in too. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy having a play. kate x #18
OOh Eliza, your desk is heaven today...neat tidy and yet loaded with stash I'd like to be playing with. Also, are they pin cushions at back, looking like little flans?
Great view...I really miss having a view. I love looking at desks like yours - so many things to nose at and want to play with! Happy WOYWW Cx #121
Happy WOYWW! Thanks for a sharing a peek into your studio space, I love seeing what everyone is up to! ~Robin Panzer Art Studio 33 (#132 whoa…I was late to the party today!)
Great view you have does that tree have lots of lights on it I can see extension cords on it if it does it must look magical :) hugs Nikki 119
I love seeing everyone's view out their windows - so many of us face our desks that way. Hope you have some good play time this week - I totally understand about the busy thing--I went over a week without play and it made me grumpy! Thanks for visiting the fun room.
