Doctor Who Party

For those of you who watch Doctor Who in any amount, you are well aware that today was the live airing of the 50th anniversary episode. 
For those of you don't watch, this is a by deal. M and I are fairly new Whovians, but we do have a TV with cable that allows us to watch things, like BBC America. Several friends were without a place to watch, so we decided to host a little party. 

Step 1: buy the provisions. Lots of Tardis blue paper goods left, so we may have been the only ones celebrating in the area. Sad!


The spread (well, most of it)
I put a card with the name of each treat and a quote to go along with it. There were several from the 11th doctor, but I may just be biased.


The Adipose were a particular favorite of mine, even though their limbs didn't stay on very well.
There were screwdrivers for most and probes for those who can't eat gluten.
It seems appropriate that the daleks are right beside the time vortex.
How do you spell the plural of fez?

I'm ready to go on an adventure!

It was really cool at night; the box lit up!

Eat up!

It's done!!!

So excited! I just finished my craft room, and I can't wait to get in there tomorrow and enjoy the clean!

I kind of went a little crazy with the pictures...sorry! Don't feel like you have to look at all of them. You could just come visit, and then you can experience it first hand!

The view from the door. So much better!


 Shoe Bag organization. I've since moved the knitting needles to avoid accidental pokage. It's on the outside of the door, since the door itself is usually open.


 The whole wall. With a cameo appearance from yours truley. Also, the quote board from my college years is hiding behind the door. I just couldn't bring myself to throw it out.


The closet. I can tell what everything is! And it's organized!



I broke out the label maker and enjoyed myself way too much. But it's easy to remember which box the staples are in!



My chair/reading corner.Most of the hippos have been moved to the closet, but a few of my favorites are still out.



My desk/sewing/scrapbook corner. Everything is easy to get to (and labelled!)


I really love my shelves. My husband is pretty great, and did a wonderful job hanging them for me.




 Doll collection and yarn stash. The stuff on the floor is waiting to be given away to people who can use it.




I was shocked when I got all the yarn out and sorted. After bringing how huge bags all summer, I was sure I had more. I guess I really have used up most of what I buy, which means I get to buy more, right?



Command center: calendar with show dates, coupons, mailing envelopes, white boards, and cork trivets. I really like feeling organized!





So I'll confess that it got to a point where I had to just shove stuff into a box. But it was only one shoe box. 

And I labelled it.

I think it's time to sit down and put my feet up. I'm tired!

Stay Crafty!

Known Mess

All the unknown boxes have been unpacked, and now all that remains is figuring out where everything should live long term. Sadly, it STILL looks like a mess. Thankfully, it's an organized mess and the end is in sight. My goal is to be done tomorrow. We'll see if it actually happens.


It doesn't look like this any more, so that's good.


That made me feel better.

Stay Crafty!
