Im nearly back of holiday......so freebee time!

hi folks, I will be back on Wednesday, Ive had a long few weeks thinking of EVERYTHING I would like to do with my Stamping, Bag making and Interior design.....

Lots of plans...

room to be finished...
so to start things off

I am giving away an aqua spotty bag and one of my rings, I cant post a picture but will do when I get back from sunny Crete!

OK this is the start.......


I had to paint the wall and put the rails and the shelf up myself!
The shelf is going to be for fabby samples, when I make them.



There are 3 clock, a bit posey but I used to be a clothing buyer so used to needing to know what time it is in different countries...
Ok the ribbon storage is not new but some of you may not have seen it, I love it!


Ok I love this bit, I have use sticky velcro to attach the glue guns so they just pop back in place when I am not suing them, ribbon scissors are hanging on a little screw. My crop o dile also has a little space of its own!





This room is our garage, I am very lucky because it is a double garage and a few years ago I had a window put in it so I have loads of natural light. The garage doors (a redundancy prezzie from me to me) open out so in the summer its amazing.

I hope you like this so far...

OPERATION CRAFT ROOM REVISITED.......


Some may know I am terrible at organizing....I get so far then give up, I covert everyone Else's crafty space, I drool over how amazing OTHER peoples rooms are.

I love the following magazine:
WHERE WOMEN CREATE
STUDIOS

There is nothing better than a nice hot bath and a crafty storage magazine.
Here lies the problem...I love to look, read and dream about having a lovely space but actually putting it into practice is a totally different thing..

I have set myself a 5 day challenge and as the days have past I have realised it will take a LOT longer.
OK I am very very lucky to have a big space but if it was just a Satmpin up room it would be an easy job but I have a workshop that covers a number of crafts, the biggest being sewing....this is my business, my spotty bags have gone down so well I have actually run out! I am planning some more styles and colours for after the holidays.So for this I have 2 domestic sewing machines and a massive industrial machine and of course tons and tons of fabric, trimmings,lining and interlining.

I am also an Interior Designer so need to put designs boards together and have a drawing board and drawing equipment and A1 card, mount board and paper!

This is closely followed but felt making, machine embroidery and anything else I can squash into my time...

so to shame myself into action here are a couple of 'before'pictures......


I blush....
And



wish me luck!!
