WOYWW 140

Good morning to you all from a very chilly Southern England.  We didn't have snow which really upset the children but who knows what the next few days will bring?

For your delectation this morning we have Slimming World magazines (I am trying to make a note of which books my fave recipes are in) and my Smash book which is going to be my weight loss and fitness inspiration.  Funny that the first page I opened was a picture of a cake...  Just behind the iPad, out of sight, is the current DT project for S J Crafts and next to that is an album that I made that I am repurposing into a DIY Smash book for ideas for the home.  I need to rejuvinate my desire to sort both myself out and get on with the decorating etc but I don't want to miss sticking pretty things together either.


I finished another of my boxes and I am really pleased with the way they are turning out.  Lots more to do though.

And seeing as last week's peek inside my drawers went down so well, I thought I would show you another one. This is my ribbon box - the larger bits are wound around card and the smaller bits are in jars sorted by colour - purdy!


I thought I had visited a fair few last week but the list on Julia's blog gets longer and longer - I do try though.  And we do love to see, because sharing is caring.

Bye for now

  1. I love all your organised bits and bobs in your drawers! It's such a time saver when you don't have to hunt for whatever it is that you need..
    Good idea to save all your fav recipes in a nice book, makes it a nicer experience all round. I started SW a couple of weeks back, lost a few pounds so it's the start of a long old journey..
    Pop over to my blog because there's a little something for you!

  4. Now you see, I've met you, so I can definitively advise you that you are doing well with being sorted out. LOVE the boxes, they look so good and William Morris would so approve of practical and good looking!

  5. Your ribbons look gorgeous, Lisa, now which one do I need to finish my project, lol. I love the blue polka dots!!
    Your papers are so organised and too hand. I've just bought a new 12x12 box to try and sort myself out a bit more.
    I think we spend more time organising than we do crafting don't we?
    Happy WOYWW

  11. Look at all that fun ribbon! I enjoyed the peek at your drawers this week and last. One of these days I'll do that myself. There's great things to be found in crafty drawers! Great box covers too, btw. Have fund with the books and I enjoyed your comment about how you need to get out and do stuff but didn't want to miss out on sticking pretty things together either. Gotta keep track of the important things!

  27. Hello :) thank you for leaving a comment on my blog....yes, I am with the Open University and it is hard! I hardly have time to scrap. But it'll be worth it in the end. I love all your storage, super-organised. I usually end up starting to tidy and making a worse mess. Still, a girl can dream! I love that pink polka-dot table cloth too.
