DAY 10 ish Operation craft room!

I am desperate to finish my room but its a big big job so I have asked for help...in the form of some fabby reading material!!

I love these magazines I surround myself in creative mess and read up on how people all over the world organise their space...think i'm getting something wrong...
it reminds me of my sister she used to eat Mars bars and read slimming magazines at the same time....
Where women create....love it...even Marie Osmand is in there.

Studios magazine, this this is my favourite, I buy every issue, it had Elsie Flannigan in the last issue who is a lovely crafter, quite 'alternative' but great.

The workbook called the organized and inspired scrapbooker has a step by step approach on how to sort out your space, it is pace with ideas and helps you work out what you need to make your space WORK rather than just making it nice. It went with an online workshop I did with 'Big Picture Scrapbooking' its amazing! its now out of print but I have 2 so if anyone would like one I am happy to sell it £20 plus P&P!

no idea why this pic will not loadthe right way round!

I still have loads to do ,I cant see the wood for the trees just yet!
Father-in -law is coming on Sunday to put some rails up, I found then in the back of room! can you believe I have all the tools but haven't used them!

I thought you m also like to see me old office chair...everyone should have a cow print fur chair I have noticed its a bit baggy on the seat..need to sort that out!..


see you next time

  1. Ok.... so inspired by 'Operation sort-out' I decided to have a go at my 'craft room' (now known as the 'dumping ground') :-(

    I managed to clear out a few things, and I could see carpet at one point - but that ended when I realised that was only because I'd moved things to my bedroom to give me a bit of space to sort through things.

    So, 2 hours & 2 bin bags later - I'm still unable to see my floor.

    I need motivating - Jane - is there light at the end of the tunnel??

  2. wow congratulations. I know what a big job this is I have started doing my room and in between children etc it has taken weeks. It is nearly finished but I just wanted to start crafting (so typical of me) so I am still going but it is definitely workable. It has given me new energy to do my art etc as it was very unworkable before. As with wally12345 I had to throw stuff out before it started to come together.. Keep moving Forward :)
