WOYWW- New Year, New mess

It seems our New Year resolution is to make a mess! This is Horace's mess by the way. He wanted to try our his Christmas stash goodies, but rather than trying one thing at a time, he had a bit of a craft frenzy and piled everything on the desk. Look at that teeny tiny space he left himself to work in! Silly bear.






Why are we displaying such a mess? Well, we wanted to join in the weekly desk hop over at Julia's, to start the New year as we mean to go on. Check out the link, join in, make some lovely friends and become addicted to nosing at other people's mess! You never know, you may find someone messier than you! We hope to.

To the right is Horace's pile of christmas stash, and under that are the Christmas cards we received from lovely friends. Horace is planning to make a recycled journal from them. He found the tutorial over at the lovely Jenniebellie's Youtube channel.

Horace is getting his fur in a twist now as he's got too much to finish and not enough space. We'd better go and help him organise some space. Here's hoping you all had a lovely Christmas with good health, lots of food and friends, and plenty of fun.


With love from the bears

    Happy New Year Bears! I just commented to someone else that I hadn't made any NY Resolutions- If I don't make 'em, I can't beak 'em, lol. I think I could cope with keeping yours though! We all find ourselves working in a tiny bit of space, don't we, no matter how big the desk. Have a great Wednesday, Hugs, Shaz #32 xx

    Happy New Year Bears!
    I have that very same table cloth and I find it makes things look messier - no I'm not deluded... well, maybe a little :)

    I cannot wait to see the journal Horace makes. I can't blame him for wanting to try out all of his new toys. Happy New Year - April #60

    Happy WOYWW and New Year. Looks like Horace has a good pile of goodies to play with. I started clearing my craft room in 2013, so hoping I do actually finish! Ali x. #58

    Horace seems to have similar working habits to mine, because my whole studio looks chaotic when I'm working on a project. However, I do try to pick-up between projects to help me keep my sanity. Happy New Year and WOYWW! #82

    Oh My - that is a tiny space to work in isn't it ? !!! Happy WOYWW - I don't have time to play right now and I've also been a little bit sick with a chest infection so that's dragged me down. Just about coming over the hill now though :-D

    Much love
