WOYWW 572: Happy 11th Anniversary

Eleven years ago, Julia came up with the idea of people sharing their desks, warts and all, and the idea of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday began.  I have not been there since the start (My blog is less than five years old), but I have been joining in regularly for the last four (plus) years.
So here is my weekly contribution for the 11th anniversary.  At the back is a pile of UFOs (Unfinished Objects) that I haven't managed to complete. However, you can see that I finally finished the colouring page that I have been working on at craft meet ups (including last year's WOYWW crop) for over two years.  I thought it would be an appropriate response to Julia's anniversary challenge.  I also have a tag to finish off (Three's A Crowd to go with Two's Company) for my Quarantine Quickie tag journal.  Tom and Peter are ever present and my Shed Diary keeps me on track with sample deadlines,  planned projects and school stuff which needs doing.  Happy WOYWW everyone and a shout out to Y7 and Y8 as always: miss you guys!  I'll be around to visit desks between school work and crafty projects.

  1. Morning Sarah. Happy 11th anniversary. What a great idea - link the past two anniversaries along with this one. Well done on finishing the page. Loving the pile of UFOs still to go... you'll get there.
    Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

  8. Hi Sarah! I think I remember seeing your colouring in real life last year - it looks wonderful as a finished project - looks 3D! I didn't realise it was the WOYWW anniversary until this morning! I'm glad I made last year's meet up, given that there can't be one this year. So looks like secondary schools won't be back for now, but frankly we're doing pretty well with homeschooling with the support of the teachers. When we homeschooled for six months in Y8 just after we moved, waiting for a school place to become available, it was much harder to motivate my son, but he seems to be doing better this time around. Thanks for your visit earlier - half term next week, yay! xx Take care, zsuzsa #30

  9. Thank you for visiting, Sarah, and I'm glad you like the teddy card I made for my hubby. Thank you for being so encouraging about my surfeit of UFOs by reminding me that I have finished quite a few projects as well!! I need to remind myself of that when the UFOs get me down! I'm thrilled with my seedlings and ready to harvest the peas now, I think.

  14. Happy 11th Bloggyversary!! I like your UFOs today, the Shed Happens book made me hoot! I had to include you and Eva in the video, it wouldn't have been the same without you both. Hope you and she are keeping well in these crazy times, enjoy the celebrations today.

  26. Happy 11th WOYWW anniversary Sarah.
    I love that coloured page, at first look I thought it was a printed page, beautifully done. I love the idea of a shed diary, I could never be that organised, but I can imagine you would. Thanks for sharing
    Bless you

  27. Hello Sarah, happy anniversary! I was watching Doctor Who this afternoon whilst I cut out my stamp sheets. Your tag and colouring page look great. I hear they are thinking about a return to school soon, in England anyway. Stay safe x Angela #44

  28. Hi, Sarah!
    I love your coloring page! It must have taken many hours and much patience! Now what are you going to do with it? Frame it, cover a journal or.....?

    I didn't realize that your shed journal was truly a "Shed Journal". How perfect!

    Don't work too hard and stay healthy!

    Happy Wednesday

  29. Lovely colouring page Sarah, and aI do like that tag. Gorgeous sunny and bright colour and the images look cute too.
    Seems like longer than four years that you have been coming on here - I feel I have known you for much longer than that. Will miss you this summer at the crop but hopefully will make up for it at some time in the future.
    Hugs, Neet 5 xx

  30. I don’t think anyone ever finishes UFOs. I love the coloring sheet on your desk. The combination of blue and green are so pretty. Happy 11th anniversary. Dorlene $41

  31. That coloured sheet looks lovely, the yellow 'flowing into' greens (how do you call that? Can't find the word right now...) is awesome, some project that was, yay for finishing it! Happy anniversary dear, stay safe and a big hug from Holland, Marit #32

  32. I bet you do miss the students, another reminder of these extraordinary days. Love the finished colouring page. Fair to say it looks printed, and of course, not just coloured, but full of chat and gossip and good feeling too. Perfect for WOYWW 11!

  33. Happy belated 11th WOYWW, Sarah, isn't IT amazing!? 😊 and so grateful to have your friendship through it!
    Wonder if you had that page in 2018 crop when we were in Llundudno? Wonderfil colours and textures in it! Wondered whose photos they wwre, i guess their stars I should know but ignorant of such things!! Maybe Tom is Tom Jones?? Peter.. is mh brother, but know it's not him!! 😄😆
    Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
