My Little Craft Corner of the World

Along with my recent move, came the reality that I needed to downsize and seriously organize my craft area.  I lost a whole room, the room that was my craft area and the table that was my work table, so the crunch was on.  The pictures you see below are the new look to my craft studio and supply closet.  I have turned what should be my bedroom into a combination craft room/sleeping room.  :-)  Yes, I do spend more time crafting than sleeping so it seemed the perfect solution.

Sharing my crafty space and supply storage with you was prompted by the Fifth Monday Feature Week over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous.  You can read all about it HERE. Since today is my birthday, this would be a sweet little gift to receive and add to my growing craft supplies.

In the first picture you see the area where I do all of my work.  It is nice to have my computer so convenient.  That is an improvement over what I had at the other place.  And, I love the window above my desk.  It faces east and I love all of the natural light I get coming in all the day long.  For now, it works but I do have some changes I will eventually make.

The next two pictures are of my craft supply closet.  It's still not completely organized.  It is a work in progress.  It started out being so organized, then the remaining boxes that needed unpacked demanded to have their contents shoved onto shelves.  It became organized chaos.  Also, you have to factor in I'm constantly in and out of the closet getting this or that to start or finish a project.  Hmmm?  I think it is time to get my act together and clean it up.  My very sweet favorite oldest granddaughter has graciously consented to help with the organizing.  All I have to do is give her a call and work it in around her work schedule.  She's a peach!

As you can see I, too, love using those clear plastic totes.  They hold flowers and buttons and ribbon and all sorts of sweet goodies to make creating so much fun.  The three drawer totes you see in the right center of the photo above are great for my 8-1/2" x 11" colored card stock and the shelves are deep enough to allow the 12" x 12" card stock to lay flat.  It's nothing fancy but I love having everything in one place and a door that shuts it in so no one can see when it gets disorganized.

Thanks for stopping in at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe,
