Well, its holiday time here in the South West and with it comes the heat and the flies, not to mention city folks who are trying my patience just a little....."love and light, love and light" as Doreen Virtue would say when you are getting stuck into wanting to throttle people...;-)
So, thinking of good things instead. Organising my craft area! What to do, what to do when one is limited in space?
As I am renting and cannot do too much here for the moment, I thought I would live vicariously through other studios and spaces. Here's some great ideas I found after scouring the net with links to their sites.
Wire baskets for easy viewing of fabric - I like this one
Great idea for keeping threads and bobbins together. We live near a golf course. I'm sure I can pick up a few tee's from there.
A peg board - I could have lots of fun here and great idea for the studio in our new place!
Now I am a hoarder by nature, a messy one at that and things tend to be left in piles and the clutter around me is stupendous! So one of the best ideas I have picked up over the last few days and have decided to make it my New Years resolution, was found in a book I am reading called Power Words by Sharon Klingler. It is.......FILE IT, DON'T PILE IT! This has become my mantra whenever I go to put something down, including my sewing or craft when I have finished with it for the day. And the difference in my work space (so far) is amazing. It is wonderful the difference a tidy space is to work in!
well, I'm off now as I see some fabric that needs folding and putting 'somewhere'.
