My desk was all nice and organised and tidy and I took a photo ..........
Sock, coming along nicely but slowly. New sock monkey (finished waiting for a new home). New balls of wool (just waiting for new project). Radio 1 on the IPad sitting on top of my Granny Blanket.
Sewing machine with one piece of bunting. A new baby monkey I am crocheting.
And I think that is it......
A pile of buttons as I was looking for just the right ones for the baby monkey's eyes. The cushion cover has been hidden under the IPad. The monkey now has a nose, eyes and one ear. I have no idea what the big monkey is doing, looks like he is limboing, maybe he is showing off in front of new sock monkey.
Right, I am grabbing a gingerbread and a cup of tea and popping round to look at everyone who's number ends the same as mine, plus a few I always visit in the middle, and definitely those who visit me, and if I can fit in any other desks I will certainly try.
Please don't use my photos without asking first. Posted with Blogsy

Great snoop on all your knitting, crochet and sewing. Love the lemon monkey and the bunting. Your crochet cushion is going to look great finished so hang in there and keep going until it is!

Love your desk in all it's states from tidy to messy - and the limboing monkey is a hoot :) I think your cushion cover is fab - love the colours. Enjoy the gingerbread. Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x (no number yet)
Love the limboing monkey!! Definitely showing off! Sock is coming along well and I wouldn't be able to tell bad crochet from good, so it all looks good to me!!

Always such a colourful and creative desk. Well done for not giving up.

I'm sat reading my WOYWW blogs on my sick bed this week but have my mask on so you don't catch anything. I'm enjoying reading what everyone is up to this week [it's better than reading magazines :-) ]. I'm leaving a copied comment so you know I've called by because my hands are too weak and shaky to keep typing out my comments this week.
Big hugs,

Lots of lovely, colourful things on your desk. I envy anyone who can crochet and create things out of wool. It's all double dutch to me!!
Happy WOYWW

Wow, a super-busy desk.Crochet work always looks gorgeous, and your sock monkeys are ace. I use roughly the same visiting system: some regulars, all those who end in the same number as me, then that number +5,everyone who visits me, then a few random if I can get around any more.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #90
Yours is the desk for me so far this week. It's full of colour and texture. Move over while I sit down.

My all the colour! It's fab..perfect to beat the storm blues. Am very glad you're out of harm's way. I know it seems like troble, but would it help to know quite how fab that cushion cover is looking?
Popped back in again. Yes those were Canadian geese in the photo from The Lakes. I asked where the sheep were in a most aggrieved tone! Andre said the geese were everywhere now.

Your little table looks so cosy and inviting. I love that little crochet cushion. x Jo

First time visit via WOYWW.
Oh Yarn and woolly crochet/knitterly stuff....It does make me sad to see though because I can no longer knit and crochet. But It makes me happy to see all those beautiful colours
How do you get raveled up in so much! I love the new sock monkeys color!Tamika #112

Such a cheery desk ....what has happened to the crochet? I am sure you will sort it.
I need to have a go at a sock monkey ...DS sent over some red and white ones he didn't want.xx#101
Your desk looks brilliant, Famfa - love all the crochet and the wools and buttons and monkeys and things! Especially I like the bunting. One day I shall make some for my ARTHaven but not sure where to put it in my present room - it may be different when we move.
Thanks for your lovely comments and I am glad you like my knitting! As for the unravelling and re-knitting, it was just that I absolutely loved the dress it was in its previous incarnation, and the wool is lovely quality and far too good to throw out, and I couldn't bear to part with it, so making it up into something different is the best solution all round, even if it involves a lot more work. I'm pleased with how it's going so far, anyway. There's a basket of other stuff to be unravelled too!
Things not too bad family wise, thanks for asking - my hubby has seen a solicitor re power of attorney so that is now going through. They've got someone interested in their house but they have their own to sell so we're no further forward really.
Happy WOYWW,

Yum, gingerbread! Very interesting workspace this week. I'm currently trying my hands at crocheting and finding it, um, time consuming? I'm working on a pair of leg warmers for myself with some scrumptious super soft loopy cream colored yarn...mind you, I'm new at this so they probably won't end up matching even, but I'm sure they will be warm! lol Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a sweet comment! :) I wish I could just travel around and help people get organized so their homes would work better for them. Anyways, your projects look great and thanks again for stopping by...Deeyll #60
Famfa great desk loving all your buttons and your crocheting.
Happy crafting, Erika. 118
I love the before and after. I tend to go the other way - show the mess then the tidy, but I love seeing the progress - or progression, maybe better, in either direction.
Happy day-after WOYWW

never could crochet... love seeing it and all the great colors. have a great week Peg
Fun snoop today watching the monkeys in action. Interesting how big monkey was trying to squeeze back out of the way of the first picture and then, apparently overwhelmed with the aspect of having little monkey in his space, he just collapsed in agony!
Have a great week! Darnell #63
Oh I do adore sock monkeys! I am sure they get up to all sorts of antics LOL Delightful workspace! Sandi #27
