My Craft Space

Well in the process of setting up my work shop room, I've cleared our Josh's (my husbands) office and made it my craft space until I can arrange everything for my class room. It's looking rather empty at the moment but I thought I'd share my progress from my messy desk below.


These two tables will be replaced with two large trestle tables which will be placed in the middle of the room with a lazy susan in the middle for all the immediate supplies.

I'm hoping to find something to fill in the large blank walls but for now they will remain blank.

These book shelves along with the tables were in the house when we arrived, they have just been pulled from a range of rooms to create a place for my stamps, supplies & samples to be stored.

I have a range of ribbons currently on order which will fill in some more space on the ribbon display, still to find a suit display / storage system for the punches that won't damage the walls.

This is my current work space. I'm trying to keep it bare in a means to keep it clean but still working on a few things ;-)

Craft Space Project 1 - Complete... maybe...

I have always had issues with my ribbons, was much more drama when I had a range of different kinds but since I've decided to only use Stampin' Up! products they have been stored in a drawer, however I'm a firm believer of out of sight out of mind... so many treasures were found when I emptied out my craft space back in NZ... so I decided I needed somewhere handy, visible and pleasing to the eye... the last part is still to come but I've put together this to store my ribbons.



I found a plain drawer in the IKEA "as is" area that was perfect (white and eye pleasing), grabbed some curtain wire, hooks and eyes and put it together. The ribbon runs a bit "too" freely so I'm going to get some white beads to place between the ribbon reels to fill in some space until I've filled it up *rubs hands together in thought of purchasing more colours and designs*

The plan was to put some designer paper in the back but since it's wider than the 12" I've decided to hold off until I've decided what to do with the bottom part and I've finished my craft room as I'm not sure what colours to use in the background and I'll need atleast 4 sheets of the designer paper or 4+ sheets of stamped A4 paper.

Now onto Project 2... find a way to store my punches so they too are in sight...
