Hey all!  I can hardly believe another Wednesday has rolled around already.  (If you don’t know why that’s significant, then you obviously have not yet been acquainted with the phenomenon that is What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.  Check it out.  Then we won’t be the only ones frittering away our mid week days surfing the crafting desks of the world.)

If my desk today appears rather schizophrenic, well, that’s probably cuz that’s how my brain has been operating lately.

2012-05-16-woyww-jewelry-or-clay-that-is-the-question

All of my polymer clay tools and supplies have been shoved to the top of the table.  This was to make way for some work on jewelry, including this video tutorial I made last week.

The jewelry supplies you see out now are for my next project, which will also be a video.  To the right are the remnants a a small project I sent off to a special someone today. ‘Nuff said about that.

The shallow boxes were used to hold my jewelry in need of repair, all of which I took care of this weekend, with the exception of the one bracelet.  That repair will be a bit of a challenge.  The latest tiger and cat sculptures now occupy the larger box.

The new package of Perfect Pearls, Jewel Tones was only purchased becauseI simply had to use up a 50% off coupon at A.C. Moore.  🙂  I plan to use them mostly on polymer clay sculpture, but am open to any options.

What you don’t see in the photo are these two loverly pieces of fabric.

One is a leopard print, which I’m dying to make this  swishy skirt out of.

It’s more like I’m dying to wear it.  I picture it with my black leather buckled boots.  Oh yeah.

This other is a print for this dress, which I’m also eager to wear.  mccalls-6507-dress-pattern

Of course, if I opt to make either of the garments everything has to be moved off the table.  (I picture an arm, swiping it all into a box.  Or the floor. Whatever.)

This is why my brain is in a frenzy, I just don’t know where to start.  Augh.

So, I’m going to let you all vote.  Should I:

  • make a jewelry video?
  • play with polymer clay? (I’m thinking a project from Fairies, Gnomes & Trolls)
  • work on developing a cool idea I have for my Etsy shop?
  • sweep it all aside and make a dress?
  • sweep it all aside and make a skirt?

I’ll count your votes in the morning. 😉

Right now, my brain hurts and it’s bedtime.  So I’m going to go read Tiger’s Voyage.  Again.

Happy Trails and Happy Creating!

  1. You are one busy lady! I say put all the ideas in a basket and pull one out and go with that… 🙂 #100

  2. Yep, you’re busy! The fabrics and patterns are cute. You’ll look fabulous. Not that I sew that much but I’ve also started quilting so I took over yet another spare bedroom and had hubby set it up with a cutting table and desk for my sewing machine and shelves for the fabric I’m starting to collect for quilts! That way my sewing machine is always out and my scrapbook/card stuff is in the other room. He says I cannot have another room though. LOL ~Sandy #133 WOYWW

  3. Love all the projects that you have going on. I’d vote for either playing with clay or making a skirt (I am a sucker for a good skirt LOL). Thanks so much for sharing and have a fabulous WOYWW! Have fun picking! -Amanda x89

  4. As much as I’ve been procrastinating recently I wouldn’t like to advise you… make the skirt, no make the beads, no work on the Etsy project, lol! Not much use am I!!

  6. what wonderful choices you have, and what amazing skills you must have to tackle such varied projects!! if i could sew, i confess that dress fabric would be calling to me… those rich colours, and such a gorgeous pattern!! start the dress 🙂

  9. Oooh ooh ooh, the dress! I *love* that feather print fabric!

    Thanks for sharing your workspace. Glad I’m not the only one that has too many ideas/inspirations on the go and struggling to choose between them. 🙂

  10. I vote for making the skirt. I don’t know why, but that appeals to me the most. I also like how you envision clearing off the desk–with the swipe of an arm. It is so tempting to do that sometimes!!! #164
