So much has happened since last week the footy is finally over thank the heavens. I had a play day with my GF and we got stuck into some Christmas Cards for the charity group that is the big pile sitting on the second desk. Di actually cut and scored all the cards then the added extras, isn't she a champion. While she did that I cut heaps of dies for her with the Ebosser Machine. Next is a heap of work carried out in the garden, the front section is partly done with the weeding then mulching, now onto the rest of the yard, this is going to be a work in progress.
Oh and the backyard, I know some of you call it something else in England but here is Australia we call it a backyard is a garden bed planting completed too. Oh and look at the beautiful orchid I have in flower ATM this is usually up the sideway in another garden section but to beautiful to leave there so it is on the deck to admire more.
Yoda is good, happy that I am home this week to give him more cuddles and sleep.
So if you want to see more desks hop on over to Julia's place and check it out. Best blog hop in the world.
If you are part of the desk hop can you please leave your link number, it makes it easier to find you and return the gratitude. Otherwise this can cause frustration trying to find you.
Happy WOYWW everyone
Hugs Eliza & Yoda

Hi Eliza - Just got up for a wander and here we are again - WOYWW. My you have been busy, what happened to the 'rest' after such a busy schedule at work? Lovely to see your garden which is looking so nice and neat. The orchid is very similar to one I have here but as it is the very first one I ever had it resides in the kitchen where I know it will survive.
Love to Yoda who is looking very smart today and posing so well for his photo call.

Lots accomplished on those desks! The 'backyard' (as called in the States too) is looking great. Love the orchid! Yoda looks happy that the warmth is coming back. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #8
Your garden is looking terrific all mulched and ready for the summer heat. Its the only way to get it to survive these days with the heat we get now.. The weather has been horrendous with all this wind so many branches down around the place will have to have another bonfire soon.. Look at the terrific job you and Di have been doing with that huge stack of cards well done.. So glad you are getting some crafting time..
Pats to Yoda..

Your yard is spotless. Love the orchid. Peg R #29
Your garden (backyard) looks pretty, neat and tidy now! Happy crafting now... love the desk. Helen 14
Wow, your garden is so smart! Your hard work has definitely paid off because it looks fab. And that orchid is exquisite, I can see why you moved it...good idea. Your decking looks so lovely and cool....just needs a cold tinny to make it perfect ;-)
Well done on making all those cards...good teamwork, I'd say! Give Yoda a tickle from me :-)
Hugs, LLJ 45 xx
Our football season has just started so I don't suppose I'll get much sense out of my OH for the nest 7 months! The garden looks beautiful...mine looks like a jungle. My excuse is I'm encouraging wildlife! Hugs. Pam#41
The orchid I'd beautiful and your back yard so neat!
Yoda looks happy!

Isn't it great to work as a team? Sounds like you had a great production line going there! Yoda is just the most photogenic creature! Does he ever take a bad piccie? Love the look of your 'backyard'. I can't see my garden for falling leaves at the moment!!! Julie Ann xx #56
It sounds like some great team work with your friend and you making the cards. We LOVE the pic of Yoda this week. Cute he is!

Hi Eliza,
Beautiful, gorgeous orchid!!
I have an (ordinary) cymbidium in my garden, actually growing in the garden so, no pot to move! I usually cut some fronds for inside.
I wish my backyard looked as neat as yours though! And the winds have been a worry up here recently. Gum tree branches are always dropping all over the place.
Keep busy :)

Your desk is so delightful! I love those cubby drawers to the right...they are cute and functional. I can't get over that gorgeous orchid. Your landscaping looks lovely. Hi Yoda! You are cute!! Thanks so much for visiting me and my dollhouse madness and mess! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #3
Hi Eliza
what a lovely neat garden you have and you are lucky that summer is on its way! Autumn here but it has been mild. Yoda is gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by earlier
Have a happy week

That orchid is amazing, it almost doesn't look real.
How fun to have a friend to tag team the cards with!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and for the kind comments.
Happy Woyww,

Your garden looks fantastic and I especially love the orchid. Yoda looks handsome as ever! Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#63)
Hope you can get some time to yourself to relax and sleep now Eliza, or is it straight into the next busy period? Fantastic card making spree for a good cause and teamwork too. Your garden looks lovely, all neat and tidy. I've been spending an hour or two in mine but I'm cutting back and pruning a bit before winter arrives. Beautiful orchid, I have three but neither is growing a new flower spike, any tips?
Hugs
Brenda
So happy to see Yoda today. Your yards look very lovely. That flower is stunning. Wowzah! Quite a bit happening on your desk today. I can't believe it is almost time for Christmas cards. Goodness. I am not ready for that at all!
Hi Eliza
Thanks for stopping by earlier - your back garden is looking lovely ! Puts my weed riddled plot to shame !! I am trying to placate myself that when I cut everything back as it dies back now we are well in to Autumn I will give everything a thorough weeding too ! Looks like you & your friend had a great crafty session too ! Ali #34
Hi Eliza, your desk looks neat and organised - it must have been fun to craft with your GF. Your garden is equally tidy - worth all the work that went into it. Stunning orchid - I like the unusual colours. Lovely to see Yoda too. Hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #49
Oh my, you have been busy, that is some pile of cards you have made and the garden is looking super tidy and mulched. Yoda looks like she has enjoyed having you home! Thanks for visiting me, even though I am not WOYWW-ing this week, trying to catch up with everyone from last week! Annette
That's a beautiful orchid, Eliza, and good job on the backyard! (We say backyard here in America, too.) That's a ton of work! Love to Yoda! Happy WOYWW! Thanks for coming by to see me! Have a wonderful couple of weeks! Darnell #10
That orchid is stunning and it's so lovely to see Yoda :-)

Am so glad it's over and you're home, no matter how busy you are gardening and crafting ( and you really are), it must be more restful! take it easy too, please, before the next jig thing arrives for screening!
So glad you and the BF got to have so much fun together and that the footy is finally over! Its just starting here but is what we call football the same thing that you guys call football? Well, at any rate I only have to watch not work it! lol Lovely backyard and Yoda, so glad you are home a bit more to snuggle him. :) See you later dear! Hugs, Deeyll
Good morning, dear Eliza! What a joy to see your creative workspace and the photos from your garden and cat. So many things to bring bright shining to our soul :)
I love these pictures and their flair of a warm and sunny day. Your christmas counter is awesome too. I am always smiling when I visit your blog!
Hugs
Erika
Oh my, so busy!!
Thanks for stopping by - sorry, I'm late getting back. Seeing the moon in all her splendour must be about the only plus of working nights - you must be exhausted all the time!
Have a fun, crafty week :)
Eliza and Yoda, thanks for visiting me, sorry I am so late coming back. YOur Garden looks very neat and tidy. Do you have 'backyard' in front of the house as well, I know I have seen pictures of houses in Aus and NZ and they have lots of garden all round. It can't be called backyard in teh from can it.
Changing subject, it that all one self heal mat on your desk, it looks about 4 foot by 6 foot, it's huge.

That cat photo is screaming out for a caption. :) And your garden is looking lovely. I do love an orchid....
I am determined to get some visits in before tomorrow!
Happy (late AGAIN!) WOYWW!
