Hi All.... I hope you are all well. I have missed you and hope I can get back to visiting you properly again... where? well right
HERE chez Julia of course...
And do I have anything on offer?? Well YES for a change. I have been having a tidy and a sort around in readiness for a proper spring clean... YEA and verily thus...
it IS THAT BAD that I have to tidy up before I can tidy!!!! Ha ha ha ... So on the newly EMPTY desk I decided to get out my beads and findings ready to put into my crimble pressies - the TH boxes!!! I have some new Vintaj on order too, so I shall be having a good go at that before long... I DO HOPE!!!!
And why have I been SO absent??? Well I have had a shockingly awful week and bit with mum... she really is beyond the pale at times... still that's mine to sort out!!! Surfice it to say I don't get much time to myself, and none in my "craftyoom" until today. Freddie fitted a bolt on mum's door for when I need to be sure she is safe and not roaming around the house, tripping on my chinese rugs and cat toys, not to mention any one of my 6 cats!!!!!! So I used it today, to get time to sort and sift!!! Yumminess it was too...
The thingy with footies on is my Jay's design for his birthday invitations... so I hope to get those finished tomorrow, so he can send them out on Friday... His background is beautifully multi-coloured, so I am doing a smooch with his colours in distress inks then cutting his footballs out and pasting...
And I even made a start with sorting and labelling my newest boxes of card. This unit is directly behind me when I am at my desk. I have started at the top and am working my way down... After the week I have had, tidying is strangely theraputic!!!! Oh my, those of you who know me or visit often will KNOW I am needing help!!! Tee hee... oh well, here's hoping Miranda will hear about her bone graft soon, so she can start and finish her next six weeks in plaster before the year gets too much older!!!
I will definitely be coming round to see you, so pop the kettle on!!!
Love and light to you all
Frankie

Well done on all the sorting and labelling - yes, tidying can be very therapeutic and I certainly know what you mean about needing to tidy before tidying! - (Hazel, WOYWW #10) x

Hi there! Love all those bits and pieces on your desk! Specially those watch face things. Are they old? Or can you actually buy them from somewhere? Happy WOYWW!
There is nothing more satisfying than sorting beads and embellishments. Happy WOYWW. I'm # 30 this week.

Hi there. Great to have a peek into your crafty world this morning thanks to the wonders of WOYWW! Enjoy the tidying, I find it strangely inspiring sometimes! Hope the rest of your week goes well and that you manage some time for your creative soul.

So glad you found some "you" time, Frankie, you need to look after you as well as your Mum... LOVE your desk full of goodies - am trying to sort my own stash out too... not getting far! Sending hugs. Helen 42
When your mind and body need a rest, doing a mundane task like sorting out really helps, I find. I admire your strength and tenacity for having your mum at home - look after yourself as well though...
Lovely football invitations - made me smile!!
Hugs, LLJ #68 xx
Looks fun. Hope you enjoy this WOYWW. Zo x 89
very nice desk today! I think sorting stuff is almost as calming as crafting. Sorry to hear all the problems with your mum! I can empathize with you cause my mom didn't even remember who we were towards the end and would fall and not be able to get up! I am offering up some blog candy so come leave a comment on my blog and get a chance to win! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Vickie #87

I have to tidy up before I can tidy too! oh it's great to hear someone else does that too...Don't tell, but, if I want to buy something in a posher shop than I usually go in...I have to wear my Sunday best...other wise its a bit like pretty woman, without the pretty...have a great woyww

You opening a shop Frankie with all that card? Thought I had a lot but you beat me. Can associate with the 'tidying before tidying' method, it's what I do all the time.
Love all that metal as well.

Good on ya for all the sorting--I always find so much stuff that I didn't even know that I had when I do. Good luck to you!
Enjoy the organising. Can I come round and sort the tins? I could sit for hours playing lol
Laura #86
Oh, I'm jealous of all that Timmie stuff!
I hope things settle down for you to be able to get crafting.
I'm attempting to get around everyone's woyww posts this week (a new one for me!) I don't usually have time to get round everyone.
But I haven't done my own post yet - it'll have to wait til I get home from work this evening.

organization is always therapeutic to me too, thanks for letting me take a peek into you crafty space, happy WOYWW
I agree that sorting and organizing can be very therapeutic. I like to poke through all the bits and findings on your desk there. I'll bet there is lots to inspire.
I love sorting and organising ... it's amazing what gems you find as you sort through stuff. Your boxes of cards are really impressive and working from the top down sounds like a good plan to me. It also sounds like you have your work cut out with caring for your mum, nevertheless I wish you a very good week. Elizabeth x #78
WOW! look at all the findings!

Hope this week is a whole lot better for you. You are a saint to look after your mom, it must be very very hard!
Hope you get lots of time for some therapeutic cleaning and if you run out of places to tidy, I really NEED somebody to come and help me. LOLHappy belated WOYWW
It is hard gal, and frightening the injury they can do themselves in what we consider a safe environment. I imagine that any alone and worry free time is therapy, and I can see why you've about tidying and sorting...it shows such a result . I'm loving the look of the boxes frilled with card, yummy!!
oooh I have card envy... and look at you getting all organised... tis a very nice feeling once it is done though... I am still polishing my halo after my mammoth tidyup the other week lol Sorry am late, doing a mahoosive catch up today :O))
I love all your storage ideas. I hope to get my storage sorted out one day too.
