My craft room

I missed signing up for Where Bloggers Create. http://mydesertcottage.blogspot.com/2010/04/where-bloggers-create-ii.html

But I think it is such a cool idea. I'm going to enjoy checking out many of the links.

Anyway, I thought I would share my room with you all. I've been organizing in there-which seems to be an on-going thing with me. A lot of it looks a lot better, but I still need to sort through and clear off my table and the top of the storage unit.




I use a lot of things for storage-baskets, tins, boxes, plastic storage containers with lids.

I have so many things I like to do so have to try to store so many different things. I love to scrapbook and I do some sewing. I've cross-stitched, knit, crochet and quilted. I've also started doing mixed media arts. Lately it seems I do more organizing and purging than anything.




I also have some of my many books in here. The most organized things are the bookshelves.





I took a picture of the table, but its a diaster, so I'm not showing it to you until things look a bit better.

Maybe by next year it will all be neat.

  1. What a wonderful room. I have to organize my books, you have inspired me. I have been hopping around and feeling so inspired to redo my room. My husband and I have talked about moving my art room downstairs to our family room...I'm always down there. A great reason to organize my supplies.

  12. Looks like you have a passion for books like me! But you have more storage for them than I do! Thanks for visiting my blog - I find the garden cloches at all kinds of places. Flea Markets, Homegoods, gift shops that sell home decor. You just have to keep your eye out for them!

  18. Yep...that's a lot of books! I wasn't able to play in the where bloggers create party last year as my studio was a mess. But I'm so happy I got it spiffed up this year. Course it never stays that way. LOL Thanks for the visit & the flattering comment!

  20. Bee, I usually do that, but end up sitting on the floor in front of the bookshelves reading and trying to decide what to do next.

    Thank you all for coming by.

    I'm still going through the "Create" posts.

    I think you and I can make a really good deal...
    Let me go help you purge (there's some really cool stuff I have my eye on...haha!) and then you can come help me clean my messy room! How's that???
    I'm looking forward to seeing your creative space next year for Karen's party :)))
