Another fab WOYWW

Here's my desk and craft area this fabulous wednesday. As you can probably tell I've moved it all. Previously, as you can see on other posts, I've been crafting in front of a mirror on the wall and not really having much room for all my messiness <---is that a word? Anyway, I decided on Monday to take all of the hubby's clothes out of the room and I made him a walk in wardrobe in one of the big storage cupboards in the hall. I though it would be ideal for him to hide his mess behind a door so no-one has to see it but all I've done is take over the space his clothes were in to make even more of a mess.....a big crafty mess!

Crafting in front of a mirror did mean I could kill two birds with one stone though. I model part time and therefore I have to practice my expressions on a daily basis. I always made myself giggle when I'd stop crafting for a minute and pull some crazy expressions in the mirror. I needed some extra storage though so had to move so I could put something on the wall.


Here's the storage I got from the kitchen department in IKEA. I decided to drag the hubby through on Sunday and used the "doctor said it would make me feel better if I relaxed" excuse...it worked a treat! In the little jars (spice jars) are all my buttons, pearls, gems, flowers etc with some of my Martha's sitting there proudly. I love Martha. The actual contents of my desk aren't exciting this week..just some boxes to alter and a new magazine holder full of scrap paper. Hopefully I'll manage to use it all up soon!

I have been making lots of cards but the silly computer won't let me upload them :( Will have to save them for another update during the week. If you have no idea what I've been talking about for the past 5 minutes then head over to Julia's where all will be explained.

Have a fab Wednesday everyone, looking forward to a little adventure around your crafty spaces!

  11. Had to laugh at the "dr said" line. I can't believe it actually worked. You know, you can always get a small mirror to set on your desk and check your expressions when you aren't crafting. Your new work area seems to be just the right thing for you, too. And since hubby didn't want a divorce after finding his clothes moved, I'd say he's a keeper, too.

  12. Apparently I have a camera face - and it can induce laughter from complete strangers - its the yogic out breathe squeeze the button, after 15 mins fiddling - so the concentration at the actual moment of image capture - okay okay I have no excuse - I am no model - I look even more gargoyle like when concentrating than when I relax - hope you still get to practice your faces after the rejigg

  18. I have no idea why hubby wasn't botherd I'd moved all his clothes...if he touched mines I wouldn't be a happy bunny! He's a keeper anyway! When I've been super ill and not too sure on what my future holds he's right there with some words of wisdom. He's showered me with affection since I've been unwell and has taken a real interest in my crafting which I never expected at all...maybe perfection does exist!

  24. 'Some' boxes to alter - good grief, that's a lifetime's worth for me!!
    I love the way you sell the idea of geting extra space by moving HIS stuff out to a 'walk in'!!!
