A look at my... work table

Ok, so this round, we were supposed to share how our work tables looked. You know, those surfaces where you sorted your bills and did your work on, or even those that you sit down to when you reach the office.

For us, we have a lovely table in our study, but it currently isn't a work surface, since it looks like this:

Ok, it actually looks better than this now, but its still too cluttered for me to do any crafting or work on it. And right now, with what has been going on, I've not had any time to pack it (it would be a miracle if I get on top of my laundry mountain to begin with!).

So here's where we usually work everyday:

Our dining table. Which is huge (to accommodate our weekly Bible study group). It's where we have all our meals. Where the boys do their learning, drawing and doodling:

Unfortunately, #2 does not seem to understand what it means to keep his doodlings within the confines of the paper.

Its also where the hubs and I usually work on our laptops. And most days, it is a reflection of all the activity that is going on at home.

Deliveries get plonked on the far end of the table. So do books that are being read.
And toys that are being played with. And of course, you'll always need a thermometer at hand,
if you have a sick kid in the home.

I'm still hoping to clear the study table so that I can craft again, but that will take some time. Hopefully there'll be some progress before baby comes!

So how does your work or craft table look like? Snap a photo, blog about it and grab the button and link up! Or if you have Instagram, snap a photo of your table and add the hashtag "#alookatmy". And come back again on the 4th of Dec to share photos of one of the shelves you have in your home!

A look at my... Fridge

Hello and welcome to our new monthly link-up, where we get to get glimpses into each others' homes! To start us off, we're going to take a look at what everyone is sticking on their refrigerators. Here's how ours looks like:

You've probably seen our fridge before, during our kitchen tour.

Yep. Lots and lots of magnets, which we picked up when travelling. Our family and friends have also contributed generously to our collection.

As our fridge stands alone and isn't nestled in a corner, we also have both sides to play with. One side is more or less empty, while the other houses lots of artwork by the kids:

It used to be a whole lot messier, since almost everything they drew or painted ended up being stuck here! But recently, Lil J has decided he likes the magnets very much and has been pulling down a lot of the pictures, thereby helping me to clear up some of the mess.

So now its your turn. What's on your fridge? (Don't forget to grab the linky button below for your post!)

PS: Come back on the first Wed of next month (6th Nov), and share with us your work/craft table. Both the table in your home or office is fine, or you could even snap both!

PPS: If you don't have a blog, but would like to share photos too, drop me a note at makingmum(at)gmail(dot)com!

A look at my...

I've always been intrigued by those photojournalistic articles which allow you to take a peek into the lives of others, through photographs. We did have fun during the "Day in the Life" series!

Starting tomorrow, I'm starting a monthly link-up, where you can share a photo (or photos) of a certain part of your home. The linky would start on the first Wed of every month, and you'll have a whole month to link-up!

Just to kick this off, all you need to do is snap a shot of what is ON your fridge, blog about it and grab the button code below, and link up on tomorrow's post! I think it'll be great to look back to see how various corners of your home looked like this year, and fun to take a peek at everyone's fridge. (By the way, cleaning and tidying before snapping the photo is NOT required. After all, we know how kids art does take a life of its own as it piles up on the fridge!) Hope to see you tomorrow!
