First of all, let me wish you all a very Happy New Year. May it be bright and full of creativity!
Today I am joining in on WOYWW hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground. Apparently this is the 500th WOYWW edition.. how cool it that!! I am going to try to be here more often this year :)
Without further adieu.. here is my desk in its current state.
| Taken just a moment ago! |
Over the holidays, I spent a couple of hours tidying my space and no time creating in it... well apart from painting another cat treat pot green. This one will be used to hold various craft supplies.. paintbushes and palette knives.. the other one will be for my pens.. and the unpainted one.. well.. it holds scissors.
So far, I am not sure where my green pot will take me.. but I think it may go the same way as my suitcase which I started at Pauline's Inky Workshop in December. (Blank MDF suitcase is available from Candy Box Crafts).
| My Suitcase.. so far! |
Anyway, I hope you have all had a good festive period... and as I know you will have missed her.. here is a little photo of Biscuit :)
| Biscuit at 10 to midnight on NYE... she was so tired, as was I.. but we made it to see in the new year |
Hugs,

Hi Erika, biscuit looks like I did although I didn’t make it to midnight.

Jan.. I was shocked that we made it.. I was ready for bed at 10pm.. but we made it together lol
DeleteHi Erika. I wish you a very happy and blessed new year. Good to see you today. Loving the little suitcase!! You can safely tell Biscuit he did better than me - I definitely DIDN'T make it to midnight! Gave up just after 10pm!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

I think you had the right idea Margaret.. although we all had a lay in on the 1st! 6am was a hard start this morning for sure!
DeleteWelcome back, stranger! Hope you have a happy and healthy new year and woo hoo to 500 WOYWWs! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteHey.. Hi!!
DeleteI know, I know... life got so busy when my family was here and then I just never made it back lol.. luckily no one seems to mind my disappearing spells.. phew!
Hi Erika, great to see you. Loving your kitty and the little suitcase. Looking forward to another year of friendly creativity. Happy New Year and big hugs, Angela x16x
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I really love the colours in the suitcase so will try to get the same effect on the cat treat container.. if I can remember what I used lol
DeleteLove your kitty's face! So adorable! Looks like your desk is all ready for the next creative time! Thanks for popping by and Happy New Year!

Thank you.. Biscuit is a pretty kitty for sure.. and very photogenic (luckily)
DeleteHi Erika, Happy New Year, and Happy 500th WOYWW. The suitcase is cute, I love the colours you have used. Have a lovely week Heather x #33
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) I will have to show the other side next week!
DeleteHappy New Year! Dorlene #31
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
DeleteHappy New Year Erika & Biscuit we made it to midnight although my eyes were similar to biscuits. Your suitcase looks very handy. Thank you for your earlier visit, The Dorset Buttons are not difficult at all although the smaller size ones can be quite fiddly, good creative fun though.
ReplyDeleteHappy 500th woyww and all the best for 2019 Tracey #14
The buttons are beautiful.. I can't even simple crochet.. so the buttons look so hard!
DeleteHi Erika :) fun shot of biscuit being so snuggly. :) Happy New Years ~Stacy #27
ReplyDeleteShe is the biggest snuggle cat ever :)
DeleteThanks for dropping in on me yesterday....I'm playing catch up today with my replies.
ReplyDeleteWe were suffering cough/cold bugs over the New Year so it was amazing that we just about managed to see the fireworks in London on the telly. Pretty cat :-)
Hope you have a good 2019.
Hugs,
Annie x #11
Glad you are feeling better.. have a great 2019 too x
DeleteHappy New Year Erika and biscuit. Like the recycling for your desk a great use of the tins. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #12
ReplyDeleteThey are great tins.. and our older cat needs extra protein so it's a win all around!
DeleteHi Erika, love the suitcase! Great photo of Biscuit. Been mainly sorting & tidying here too. Crafting will soon commence though. Happy New Year, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get crafting soon x
DeleteErika, I love your suitcase.
ReplyDeleteBet Biscuit was glad when the lights went out.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy 500th WOYWW

I think both Biscuit and I were relieved.. we were so tired!
DeleteAaw, lovely to see Biscuit, and especially on NYE.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see someone else uses cat food boxes/tins for desk tidies.
Hugs & Happy New Year - Neet 4 xx
Cat treat time are not only a treat for the old cat who needs a little extra protein..but for me! They are so well made I couldn't throw/recycle them in my bins.
DeleteHi Erika Happy New Year to you and all your family. I hope you have a great year crafting. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHiii Happy New Year Jackie x I hope it will be kind to you and yours.. Happy Crafting x hugs x
DeleteHi Erika, thanks for popping over, and for joining with WOYWW 500. Love your desk, it’s looks like lots of fun, and it is a very cute face of little Biscuit, lovely marking.
ReplyDeleteHugs Shaz in OZ.x #10 thanks so much for popping over.
Aw lovely Erika, so good to see you at WOYWW, sorry to be late visiting! I like a useful pot to put things in [as did Winnie the Pooh), and when you’ve got pots like that, you can’t just throw them out, huh! you could glue them together into a round and stick em on a lazy Susan if you’ve got space...super accessible! Wish you both a happy New Year and good crafting!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw Biscuit I went 'awww' - what a cutie! Pets make the world a happier place, don't they? I'm planning to alter a cat treat tin as well for storage - mine's square - not sure what I will keep in it yet. Thanks so much for your visit earlier - sorry I'm a bit late coming back to you - but it's still not too late to wish you a Happy New Year! zsuzsa #19
ReplyDeleteA very tidy desk, Erika - but then I think most people's desks weren't too busy for this particular WOYWW despite it being the Big 500, because of when it took place, and we have all been busy with other things! Nice to think of your cat treat tins being upcycled for art use! Biscuit looks adorable - so pretty! I'd love to see a picture of all 3 of yours on the cat tree! Thank you for your visit and I'm sorry to be so long replying but life has been very busy this week and I've got pretty tired as well. I am so glad you enjoyed seeing our kitties - they have been so sweet since the weather got colder, cuddling up and washing each other and sitting on my lap and keeping me warm! They are very affectionate. I'm glad you like my knitting, too. It's coming on quite well. I really need to tackle some of my other UFOs soon though (UnFinished Objects!) - each New Year I say I am going to tackle them, and all that happens is that I generate more...
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and happy belated 100th WOYWW,
