...showing you THAT box... you know, the one I made when I was with the Duke of Distress last Thursday, can it really be nearly a week since that day already??? Anyways... today is Wednesday, although it does feel like Tuesday at the moment because I couldn't sleep so I haven't had any sleep and now I am needing sleep and I am getting garbled again (oooh, nowt new there then ROFL) anyways... Wednesday... yes, time for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, devised, invented and hosted by the uber tidy and organised (snort) Julia... if you click on her name you can see all the deets etc on how to join in....
So, temporarily on the desk is THE box... just put there to show it off again... also on the desk is a plastic cup half full of murky looking painty water... which reminds me... last week, I was hooting all day because a lot of desk hoppers thought that I had a glass of wine on my desk (along with the chocolate, which was real ROFL) ... oooh, no... I don't touch a drop, no it was blacky-painty water and still had a brush sticking out of it ... I think someone said it was a straw (now that would be crafting in style, a straw in wine... now, is it true that if you drink booze through a straw it gets you drunk quicker?? I wouldn't know, seeing as I never touch a drop ;o))
This next pic is where THE box actually lives, alongside that gorgeous birdycage that LindaE bought for me and another gorgeous birdycage that Ellen bought for me... I lurve birdycages btw... oh and there is my little Poppy bless her, wasn't she just the most beautiful puss ... and some rather splendid door handles that I have picked up on my expeditions. Oh yes, the other inky thing on my desk... a WIP about Gemini's, of which I am... I have just found out from Mr Google that apparently Gemini's are (and I quote) eloquent and intellectual (snort again), flitting from one subject to another and always in an excited state wanting to talk a lot but never concentrating on one thing for too long... now, that must be wrong because I am not like that... am I??? Anyways... time for bed said Zebedee... I have had this really nasty mean evil cramp in my spine since Saturday... probably all the excitement of the past few weeks creeping up on me!!! Thanks for looking... happy WOYWW day... TTFN

Superb box and I love your display, I think birdcages are fab too and it is set off beautifully with your cat picture. Hope your back feels better soon :-)
It is so much fun to read through your post! THE box is gorgeous and deserves a special place and obviously got it among all the other stunning stuff.
Your gorgeous box has style. I love your 'memory' space where it sits. Just perfect. Forgot to turn my little light on in my phot, der!
Wasn't the day simply magic? Certainly one I shall never forget.

Beautiful Box, Beautiful Birdcages.

That's a box to be really proud of - well done! It's one thing attending a course, another to have the talent and ability to create well - thanks for sharing it with us - as if you could do anything else with it - of course you had to.

Oh poor you, sleeplessness is horrid, specially caused by pain - I hope you can relax it off. YOur Tim project is the fabbest; I came so close to buying a white birdcage like that - and then lost me nerve! SOunds like you need time off, so your desk will probably stay alarmingly tidy for another week!
The Box is really gorgeous. Clever you.
Don't forget to pop over to our shop and put your name down in the next gift draw.

Your box is gorgeous - and I love your display - nice to see what you make out and about - whereas mine are stuck in boxes or cupboards - I need to take a leaf out of your book x
Love your box, I put mine on my blog too. It's amazing how different everyone's boxes came out, event though we generally had the same materials.
That box is definitely worth showing off.

I haven't tried one of these boxes yet. I just felt it would be too much trouble, but yours is wonderful and I might just have to give it a try!
Hels your configurations box, sorry I mean THE box lol, is beautiful, you have every right to show it off as much as possible!! And to brag about the fact you got to attend a workshop with the Duke!!
And it looks beautiful in pride of place on your shelf, next to that gorgeous birdcage and charming photo.
Your display of art and other favourite bits and bobs, especially those gorgeous birdcages looks beautiful.
Sorry you're suffering at the moment. Hope you've had a good sleep and the pain is giving you a bit of respite.
Hugs

Oh wow! How gorgeous is this - lucky you - super post and piccies! Di x
Hi - sorry to hear you're struggling with your back - not a nice ailment for a crafter poring over her desk. Love your work - might bump into you at a workshop in Wantage, or in Worcester if you're at Bubbly Funk sometime. x
Lovely box!! I've never made anything like that but I'd love to learn how. Any chance you can tell us how to?? Oh, and how come your desk is so tidy?? Mine is a complete mess!!
OK Hels... we must have been twins parted at birth or something... and you got the creative genes obviously!! Love your box, it looks lush and so part of the place with your bird cages... and on my desk is my box and on my shelf are.... bird cages!!
That box is rather extra special isnt it! Lovely. Lovely look at your shelf as well, very eclectic. Poppy looks lovely, bless her K x Ive just out my Poppy down off my desk for about the 10th time in 10 minutes!
Hey ho Hels! Big wave from one Gemini to another.... we're incorrigible, aren't we?!!!
Love the work you did on your box - sniff... wish I could have gone too....sniff.... maybe next year.
I have the small configurations box and so very nervous about starting one. Yours is gorgeous. LOL about th wine actually being paint water. 88
I can see that you have put a ton of work into "The Box", it's lovely! Thanks for sharing your your treasures and sure hope your back improves quickly for you.
What a wonderful shelf ...that box is amazing and is perfect in pride of place.
I hope you get some sleep and that the back eezes off ...nothing worse than a bad back.xx
Hello Hels, love your box and your display shelf with all your stunning cages, etc. Thanks for the entertaining read and I hope your back uncramps soon and you get some sleep. Elizabeth x #73
