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!

Craft Room sneak peek: it's gotta get better!

After 4 hours in my craft room, it still looks like a tornado touched down. I've resorted to pulling the large objects out into the hallway, and am now debating the possibility of leaving them there. Just kidding, kind of. 

At any rate, "It has to get worse to get better", so here are a few pics of the process. You may not be able to tell, but most of the stuff has been grouped by topic (yarn, sewing, scrapbook, school, storage). My shelves are up and while right now they are just acting as convenient cubby holes, I have great plans! 

Before I put stuff on them 

Why I put stuff on the shelves 

The stuffed hippos are not staying there permanently, just until their new home is cleaned out.

End of day 1. Doesn't look much different, but I feel better. 

Stay Crafty!
