WOYWW # 429 Some Mess, Some Peeks

Happy Desk Peeking Day! :) If you'd like to play along or see more spaces you can find the link up here at our hostess Miss Julia's Blog.

So, this post contains a lot of mug shots so, I will keep the words short.

 

 During DTGD I did make a couple of cards live and I did that with the mess of unmounting and organizing pushed off to the sides. and somewhere in that I had the bright idea to place an order at Ellen Hutson so, that arrived this last monday. and all I did was unpack the box and look at it all.

The size of the MFT window dies surprised me I wish they were just a little bigger but, this will not stop me from using them. The holly stamp is a cardfront by itself size so, will make for faster cards and the Hero Arts Christmas sentiments are just fun. That being said a lot of the last month has been spent unpacking boxes and sorting stuff and adding to the purge it piles.

 When you are standing in the hallway this is the left side of the Library Nook space. we have inset hinges on order to make the backrest on that side of the seat be open-able instead of dead space and then the window shades should come in this week and there will be one more shelf (skinny) above the window to hold some antique camera's I have collected or been gifted with over the years. the seat lifts up and has cedar boards inside for blankets or quilts and such.

 what you see from the hallway.

What you see if you walk in, The skinny shelf behind the pantry ( that opens into the hallway behind the fridge) is holding movies. So every so often I buy a stack of the old VSH ones on dvd and that will save more space. Those are Victrola records next to them and the baskets on the upper shelf hold music CD's inside plastic pockets ( the same pockets I use for small die sets in the craft space)

 We are using the kitchen now for the last half a week. the window shade should come in any day now. The down draft vent ducting that runs under the house from actually under the dishwasher to the under the cooktop was hooked up this last monday AM so, the appliances are all in and functioning now. ( we have only used the outside BBQ grill once since then haha)

 The glass front cupboards are holding Johnson's Brothers Greendawn china ( a lot of it) and so is the cupboard above the dishwasher.

 and so is the one in the eat in kitchen space.

There is only the soup tureen and one covered dish of it in the corner. oh, and if your ever out and about in the UK, Australia or Canada ( where most of my china has been purchased from) and you ever see the ladle for the tureen I would totally pay someone to buy it and pack it and ship it to me) ha, that is as far as I know the last piece I am thinking I am missing but, its hard because, they made that for 40 years so every so often a piece comes up for sale and you go hunh, we don't have that one or size or shape and hubs will be like "oh, lets get it" and so he does lol... Yes, there are only two of us and yep, we have no plastic in our kitchen.
