When I sat down to fill some more hook orders this morning, I decided I needed a little festivity at my work table. I plugged in my foil tabletop tree, and dumped a pile of white lights on the end of the table. Tacky Santa watched from the living room window.
This is a nice close-up shot of the interior. I built it mostly according to the instructions.
Sometimes the devil is in the details.
There are tiny little price tags for the various bakery items, and the prices (shown in US dollars) are hilarious and outrageous. It might have come from an imperfect translation of RMB to dollars, as if it were 1:1 instead of 6:1. Even in a foodie town, we don't pay $6.00 for a jumbo-breadstick baguette. I recalculated the prices based on real life and printed a new set of price tags.
Originally I didn't understand why a bakery would sell boxes of raisins. But, when back counter went together, it finally hit me that it was meant to be a worktable with a "cake under construction".
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) People’s Garden Executive Master Gardeners, friends, and family, along with Washington Capitals fans are volunteering in District of Columbia Public Schools’ (DCPS) Beautification Day, on Saturday, August 25, 2012, at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, in Washington, D.C. Each year people are invited to help “spruce up” public school facilities in preparation for the first day of school. More than 70 volunteers pitched in at this large school facility. The People’s Garden effort involves building and painting raised planter boxes, then preparing the soil mixture so they are “ready to grow.” Additionally, a team that includes descendants of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall assembles a prefabricated garden toolshed. The Justice’s son, John Marshall leads the team, which includes Brianna the Justice’s great-grand daughter in one of many multi-generational efforts at this school today. Washington Capitals Forward Mike Riberio, his family and mascot Slapshot participated in every project underway at Marshall School. From the outside gardens, to inside mural painting, and robotics worktable construction, the teams made their goals. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Utrecht University Library – Wiel Arets Architects
Size: 36.250 m2 - Design: 1997-2001 - Completion: 2004
The library, which houses 4.2 million books, was intended, in addition to being a place where people could work in a concentrated manner, to also become the intellectual social center for the suburban university campus, where students and others can come to study and meet at all times of the day. The 40 meter tall library and the adjacent, lower parking garage, both clad in glass and concrete imprinted with the same silk-screened figurative pattern, are sited on the major road and pedestrian pathway across the campus. The simple rectangular massing of the library and the repetitive rhythm of its concrete cladding and glazing, which is subtly modulated by the projecting operable sections, stands in stark contrast to the rich, plastic spatial complexity of the interior spaces.
The books are stored in two primary volumes that seem to float up towards the ceiling. The massive, lifted book stack volumes are made of black-painted cast concrete, and the walls have a three-dimensional figural pattern cast into them which matches the two-dimensional pattern imprinted on the exterior glazing. While the black pattern on the glazing filters the natural light entering the building, the pattern embossed in the black-colored concrete walls acts to diffuse and bounce the light deeper into the interior spaces. At the center of the building, a vertical space, running from the ground to the roof, is opened between the two book stack volumes, which are interconnected by a series of stairs and sloping ramps. This central vertical space forms the experiential hinge of the building, interweaving the lines of movement, the spatial layers, and the internal views.
The walls and ceilings of the interior are black and matt, while the floors are white and shiny. The bookshelves are black, while the worktables are white. The predominant black color characterizing the interior is critical to creating the atmosphere of concentration, security, and silent communication essential to the function of the library. The black interior creates a feeling of local enclosure, allowing the inhabitants to conduct the private activity of concentrated study in a public place of collective identity. The only exceptions to this color scheme are the red rubber surfaces used in the book checkout area, the information desks, the auditorium, the bar, and the lounge, all of which are related to the itinerary of public movement through the building.
The individual workspaces are organized in a wide variety of locations and arrangements within the interior, some quite intimate and isolated, and some quite extended and exposed. The individual user can make a choice of where to work, and thus to determine both their ability to be absorbed in their work, and the amount of communication they wish to have with others in the library. Because of the remarkably rich range of sizes and shapes of the workplaces, and the complexly layered sections and the endlessly unfolding spatial intersections within the building, it is possible to recognize and communicate visually with people across the interior, and even from floor to floor, while at the same time being undisturbed by those sitting nearby.
As They Are Right Now
Shoot your BJDs exactly as they are NOW - no posing, no photoshoping
My two newest BJDs Genna and Jude sit on my worktable and keep me company while I sew my bears.
I don't really care what's on the outside of the cup. It's the blonde roast on the inside that makes me happy ☕
Chalon has been handcrafting their uniquely styled kitchens and furniture from the beautiful Hambridge Mill
Troels toils on projects at this small worktable, tucked underneath a return loop in the staging area for his On30 Coast Line Railroad.
Troels is our guest on Episode 46.
Another table-scrap MOC I built while I was cleaning off my worktable last week... and yet another MOC using those Bionicle claw/blade pieces. I think this ened up looking more like a snow-mobile than a speeder bike, but oh well.
The bespoke pieces combine perfectly with the classic worktable in this lovely cosy design. The girls loved it!
Do you know those picture of the work table, where all things are put minimalistic and beautiful... And, here is my work table. :D Cha cha. It's chaos here. I really want to fix it. But I haven't where put all item, which I started to make, and not finished yet. And I have a lot of those items. :D
I really hope, I‘m not alone is slattern (if it right word). :D
Tell me in the comments, how look your work table? Terribly like mine or not?
And I remind you, now in my shop is running a big sale – 30 proc. of all item. ;) Take a look.
This just might be the perfect summer toy for your adorable Blythes? Fancy a walk?
Your Blythe feels bored and needs a friend? This little piglet is fresh off our worktable and makes for a cute companion.
After fussing around with a PVC pipe contraption on and off for most of the afternoon, I threw this little beauty together in about 10 minutes with a box cutter and some dish towels. Pipes will be more sturdy and can be cut for larger sizes, but this is a nice solution for small stuff, especially since I don't have the bedsheet or the extra lights I need to finish off the bigger one. This also needs at least one more light, but this is all I have at the moment and it's workable at low shutter speeds with a little post-processing.
To make it, I took an old box I had laying around that matched the size of my dish towels, cut off the lid entirely and cut rectangular holes in the remaining sides with a box cutter; I didn't even bother measuring or drawing it out first ('cause I'm a rebel like that). Note that the open top is now the floor. For added stability while cutting, I didn't punch out the cutouts until I had all of them done. When finished, I draped one towel through the top to form the backdrop and floor, and another over the top as a diffuser. Be warned: cutting all this cardboard, I scored the worktable I was working on a few times and made a heck of a mess of little cardboard bits.
Idea borrowed and adapted from this one.
Incidentally, this is also the first shot I've ever taken in RAW, and I was impressed with the difference in quality between it and JPG, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
J.R.R Tolkien, The Hobbit, Chapter I: AN UNEXPECTED PARTY
Welcome to the Shire. The starting and ending point of the famous books and films “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”.
It is a perfect place to relax, read and fill your hobbit stomach with plenty of delicious food.
The Hobbit hole consists of 5 different rooms. A nice kitchen with a big table, a full storage chamber, a cosy living room with a fireplace and a worktable, an entrance room to welcome invited and uninvited guests and like all hobbit holes it has a round tunnel that connects the rooms.
I would suggest that it would include the minifigures: Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, the 13 dwarves and of course Gandalf.
Please support this creation and help it to become an official Lego Set.
Remember, it doesn’t cost you anything and you would do me a big favour.
