Hello, Crafty Peeps!
I decided to participate in the WOYW Wednesday challenge. Unfortunately, the Amazon cloud was out of commission for most of Wednesday and I was not able to upload my pictures until now. I hope I can still make the challenge. I will take pictures of my projects later today. It is 2AM and I am headed to bed!
Generally, my work table is pretty neat and clean. But I am trying to complete my SIL's Christmas Card order, make her planner for 2021, and serve as a volunteer leader for the upcoming senatorial runoff election here in Georgia.
I am crafting, calling, and drinking more coffee than I should. There was no way I could fit cleaning my studio into that mix! 😄 All of my work areas were covered with supplies.
The Hubster made a woodblock for use on my stamp platform (to apply even pressure.) About two months ago, he came home with a huge box full of craft supplies that he purchased at the Dollar Tree. Included in the stash was some craft foam. I decided that I would cover my woodblock with craft foam. I painted the ends with some of the paint that The Hubster purchased and added some glitter. I added Washi Tape to hide the edges! Now, I have a fun tool!
Hugz,
Chana Malkah

Happy Thanksgiving Chana. Love the look of your workspace and cool home made tool. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah!
DeleteHi Chana, how lovely to 'meet' a new face! Love all the fab desk pics, and I see so many fabulous stamps. Sounds like 'real' life is keeping you super busy, and you manage to fit crafting in as well- go you. Sending you wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe, hugs, Shaz #10 X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shaz!
DeleteThanks for making me feel better about my messy studio. :D LOL. I was looking at my desk yesterday, thinking “Ooh boy, I got to clean up this mess before I can do another thing.”
ReplyDeleteGlad I was there for you when you needed me! :D) I was trying to work in 10 inches of space! My hubby walked in, shook his head and turned around and walked out!
DeleteOH! Chana, it certainly looks like you have been busy LOL. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I just cleaned my desk off the other day. Too many projects in the works, hugs, Lori m
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori! I know exactly what you mean!
DeleteHi Chana. Wowee - lots to look at all round your room this week. Welcome to WOYWW - I haven't seen you here before - apologies if you have indeed visited - my compouter threatened me with its terminal illness for three weeks, until I called in a friend to take it apart and put it together again. I trust you are having a lovely thanksgiving celebration today.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Thanks, Margaret! I am a newbie but I am looking forward to sharing every Wednesday! Glad to hear you are "electronically enabled" once again!
DeleteLots of lovely things on your desk. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anesha!
DeleteGreat to see you, pleased you decided to join us. I always pop back on Thursday as people join in when they can. Great workspace and lots of goodies. Take care and have a lovely creative, belated woyww, Angela x17x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela! It took a minute for me to get here! Everyone seems so nice. Thanks for making me aware of this group!
DeleteNice to see you! Your desk looks busy. Whatever would we do without clever hubbies? Mine is more useful with computer issues but he can sometimes surprise me. Glad you found time to craft but your work on the Senate race is perhaps more globally important. If you read back on my blog you might like the stencil I made of Stacey Abrams :)
ReplyDeletehttps://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/woyww-597-still-left-wondering/ She is my total hero.
I may live in the U.K. (25 years) but I’m from Virginia.
Welcome to WOYWW!

I love your stencil of Stacie! She is definitely one of my Sheroes! She is keeping us all quite busy!
DeleteI am very lucky in the hubby department. He is an engineer by profession, an amateur chef, computer nerd, and master carpenter. I haven't cooked in twenty five years! :D)
I am excited about the race. I hope we can pull it off and then get rid of Kemp in 2022!
Thanks for popping over. Happy Thanksgiving Chana. Hope it’s a good one. Take care with hugs from Sue. #20 xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue!
DeleteHey there Chana, welcome to WOYWW! I’m didn’t see you on the list until very late but hope that you’ve had fun having a snoop around the desks. You are one busy lady with the card/planner orders etc. Being a volunteer in the Senatorial elections sounds interesting, what does that involve?
ReplyDeleteGreat bit of stash buying and help from your husband, I bet you enjoy using that updated woodblock all the time now, lol! My hubby is a good ‘un too and had helped me with all sorts over the years :-)
Hugs LLJ 7 xxx
Thanks, LLJ! Mostly it means hosting Zoom events (phone banking) and training other volunteers. I suffer from a autoimmune disease, so I cannot work the in person events so I do a lot of calling, training and data entry. Whatever the Party needs.
DeleteThe Hubster surprised me with the supplies. The Dollar Tree upgraded their craft department and he bought a little of everything they had on the shelves. Then he took me there to pick up anything he might have missed!
I think most hubbies just want their wives to be happy!
Hi Chana and a very warm welcome to WOYWW, the longest blog hop on the web! So nice to have you on board, and great that you've got a studio almost as messy as mine. You have obviously got a great hubby who supports what you do, as does mine. Thank you for visiting and leaving such a nice comment - glad you are enjoying my blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #9
Thanks, Shoshi! I wanted to play along sooner but I was always embarrassed by the mess on my desk when Wednesdays rolled around! Nice to know I am in good company!
DeleteYour hubs is certainly a keeper for bringing you craft supplies! I don't blame you for having a messy desk - you've been so busy - and you're right, tidying is at the bottom of my priorities as well, although I did manage a little yesterday. Thanks so much for your visit, Chana - let us see all your wonderful creations next week! zsuzsa #29
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zsuzsa! I hope I can particpate in the zoom event!
DeleteHI Chana, welcome to WOYWW and don't worry about being late to the party - I'm even later! I love your home-made tool and your busy workdesk and your Hubster sounds like a keeper to me :) Have a great week. Annie C
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie!
DeleteWelcome Chana! Always nice to see a new face! You are very brave to volunteer in the election, should be quite the exciting time! I had trouble with my Stamping Platform too, now I generally just stand on it haha! Lovely messy desk, my favourite kind, I see a lot of familiar items on it! Thanks for your visit, stay safe and have a great week! Lindart #30
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindart! LOL! I was amost at that point. Especially with my Tim Holtz stamping platform!
DeleteHello Chana. Thanks for popping by. Helping with Senatorial Election sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI need one of those blocks - read about someone else saying how much easier it was. Need to get my DH to sort it out, he is supportive of my crafting plus inventive. Hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving. Anne x 14
Thanks, Anne! I hear that some people use dry chalkboard erasers!
DeleteHi Chana. Well, seeing this definitely makes me feel better, I am not alone! Great idea for the woodblock. I've got something similar and I also use a small wooden rolling pin instead of a brayer when I'm using it to smooth out bubbles and such. Us arthritic gals have to improvise! lol Hope you had a happy turkey day. XOX
ReplyDeleteHello Chana, Lovely to meet you and thank you for your visit to my blog, and hope to see you other weeks A messy desk shows a happy crafter,
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe Lilian B #13
So sorry to be late to welcome you to WOYWW Chana! You are one busy woman! I love that your many surfaces reflect how busy you are, and that it’s all to give away, how lovely of you! You certainly have a lovely space in which to craft, and how nice for me to rummage through and spot loads of stuff that I have too, I feel very at home! I hope your Thanksgiving was a restful day, especially as you seem to have made time to tidy up. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the WOYWW club. I hope you join us again and maybe even partake in the Zoom session next week.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly look very busy and I imagine you have a fair sized craftroom so there must be lots of surfaces to clutter up as we do. Good luck with all that you have planned, my word, you sound mega busy.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx
Hi Chana, so pleased to see you on here - your desk looks wonderfully busy and interesting. That's a good idea about the wood block, I think I need one - will have to get my hubs on it as he hasn't thrown away a piece of wood for the last thirty years so he's bound to have something suitable! What a wonderful man you have to bring home craft goodies for you, hope you enjoy playing with your new stash.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the week and sorry I'm so late visiting, just had a really mixed up week!

Welcome along! you have a fabulous crafty space. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteHi Chana.. delightful crafty space... thanks so much for sharing it with you..
ReplyDeleteLovely spot as thanksgiving is over guess you're crafting again!
Thanks for popping over to say hi too.
Am soooo slow to comment. Days are simply tooo short!
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. X
