What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

Okay, this is my first time to share my messy little cave.  When I first heard about this What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday sharing post, I thought no way can I ever let people see how messy I am.  But then I noticed that others have stacks and piles and bits and pieces.  I really was interested to see how similar many desks look to mine.  I don't take time to tidy up every day.  I usually fall into bed sometime after midnight and then get right down to the business of crafting (or blogging) the next minute I have available.  So here is a little snippet of my world.  I spent last night dying and painting laces for my new Etsy shop.  I fun and relaxing activity even if it is terribly time consuming.

My good friend Stasia just sent me this wonderful quote that I wanted to pass along:

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." 

from The Life and Work of Martha Graham

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday.
