Well, I managed to forget last Wednesday, but I am trying to really get my blog working from now on, so here we go.
For those reading this and wondering what this is all about, WOYWW stand for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is the day of the week when we show everyone what we are working on and it is supposed to be shown as it is, warts and all.
The we all nip over to Julia's at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com where we link in and then visit each other's desks and leave a comment. All good fun.

For once, my table is relatively tidy, mainly because I have just finished some projects and need to start again with something new. It is still parchment but using different plates.
After knocking a load of pencils onto the floor, which means trying to beat the dog to them. So the ones in use are now in the desk storage designed for the Pergamano tools.
A plastic and wooden toast rack makes ideal working storage for the Groovi plates in use and stops the pile cascading onto the floor.
I have spent this last few days playing with the beautiful Queen parchment border grid plates, experimenting to see as many different ways of using them other than purely border plates.
Now, I have another plate, ready to play with, to see what can be done with it. If you want to see what comes out of it, you will have to look on blogs still to come.
Just as a matter of interest, did anyone notice my mistake on the Christmas card yesterday? Here is what I showed you yesterday.
Here is what it should have looked like. Have you got it yet?
Right, I am going to end now and get ready for the gas man to come to service the boiler.

You do beautiful parchment work Maggie and if there's a mistake then it's hard to spot. You seem to have linked in an old WOYWW post but I found this byclicking on home. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Hi Maggie, yay no. 1 spot - well done! But your link goes to a rather old post, so you may need to change it :)
Happy WOYWW!
Claire, no. 3
hope your boiler service goes ok. I need to book mine I keep forgetting. your link when to a November WOYWW btw. My eyes are feeling cold-fuzzy so I can't see a problem with the card, it looks fab to me. Helen #5
Such a clever way to store things you are currently using.. I really need to do the same with my room!
Beautiful parchment work (as always)

Good morning Maggie, that's a very organised desk, great alternative use of the toast rack. Hope you managed to save all of your pencils, I did laugh at your comment about beating the dog, I have a very cheeky whippet who's a tinker for pinching stuff that isn't his lol x
P's. Lovely Christmas Groovi design, you've missed an area to snip is that the error ?
Had a chuckle at the gasman clip hadn’t heard it before Maggie and no I can’t see mistakes at all. Flat out seeing my own let alone yours 😊

Morning Maggie! Your workdesk looks very well organised today! Mine is empty today as I completed what I was doing yesterday and I have put most of my stuff away so I can change the tablecloth I have on....or at least give it a good wipe over! I do like that card you made and yes I spotted the little piece you missed but only when I looked for it after you saying there was a mistake!
Have a good day once the boiler has been done! Hugs xx
Hope all is ok with the boiler, think we need a new one this year. Ouch!! Well it took you to say before I saw your mistake. Still a beautiful card. Desk looks organised as well Maggie. X X
Love the toast rack storage idea! I could do with that to store the cardboard templates that are used frequently...shall have to check out the charity shop in town. Your parchment work is so lovely but I havent' a clue what the 'mistake' was!

Wow your parchment panel is stunning - what beautiful intricate work. The toast rack is a brilliant idea for storage - it would certainly work with my embossing folders I'm sure.
I hope you have a great week,

You must have a lot of patience to do parchment....I love the results but never have the time to spend on doing it. Have a good week.
Hugs,

Hi Margaret
Wow your desk looks great compared to mine. I’ve seen your work here and at Evesham. I’m always in awe of your work. Plus you don’t mind me asking daft questions. Such a shame I can’t make this Sat with Hazel. Morning are out and I have no one to pop in and see to my husband. My granddaughter usually comes in but she’s working this weekend. Hope to make the Tuesday though.
Think I need to get a toast rake.
Loving the toast rack idea! The parchment work is stunning. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely week. Love and God Bless, Caro xx (#19)
Hi Marg, clever idea with the toast rack. Inventive lot, aren't we? You remind me I ned to book our boiler service too. Love the parchment, and was about to say no idea what the mistake is, and I spotted it! I think there is so much beautiful detail that your eye just skips straight past it. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 X
That parchment work is fab. never tried it myself did you miss the cut out on the right hand side? Have a good week. Craftyani (no post yet)
I have just enjoyed a smashing few mins(maybe more!!) looking back at your posts. What beautiful work!
I did try parching once, having a mental image of producing work like you, needless to say the image slowly disintegrated. lol
Have a good week

your parchment looks beautiful :) tfs! ~Stacy #31
Beautiful parchment, I like it but don't really do much myself. I think the Groovi Plates have been a god send. Have a lovely creative week and a happy woyww, Angela x10x
Hi Maggie, I do like your solution for plate storage - it's perfect! Something similar would be just the thing for embossing folders too. The parchment is beautiful, despite the mistake - yes, I've spotted it. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #26
Hi Maggie, Your parchment work is beautiful. I dabble in it, but nothing like you do.
Clever use of the toast rack.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW 502

Such a lovely Parchment card.

Hey Maggie, it’s not really a mistake, just a bit that you forgot to take out! Beautiful work as always, I do so admire your patience, let alone your skill. Made me laugh about the dog going for anything that might get dropped - not something i’m Used to at all, but we had my sster’s dog for a week in December and it doesn’t take long to learn! even now when I drop something I find myself rushing to reclaim it! Great to see you on a Weds. sorry it’s actuakly Thursday already, I can’t get a grip of my time/work ratio presently!
Nope, could not find the mistake! Its funny how when we make a mistake it stands out for us like a sore thumb, but no one else notices! Goes to show we don't need to worry so much about such things! Your Pergamano is beautiful, mistake or not! Have a great week, Lindart #31
couldn't spot a mistake until i read some of the comments! Lovely parchment either way. Laughed at trying to grab the dropped items before the dog-they can move fast when they think there may be food or new "toys" cant they!! As for the workman song, oh that really does take me back, not heard that for MANY years, brought some great memories back, thanks for sharing.
