How to know if you have enough scrapbooking supplies?

I love scrapbooking, it is my latest hobby and I love the scrapbook paper, washi tape and stickers!

I not only have a huge Wishlist at multiple online stores for more scrapbooking supplies but I also fear I will run out of stock soon!

I have over two full draws of scrapbooking materials. So I decided to work out how long till I run out of stock.

In terms of scrapbooking paper, I have about 240 pages of paper. I only need about 127 sheets of paper to roughly last me a year!

I have 950 stickers, again if I just use about four stickers per activity that still leaves me a lot of stickers and again, this should last a year or even longer!

I also have roughly 38 washi tapes. Some are two metres and some are ten metres. Again, that should last me a year.

It’s interesting, because once you start and start creating themes you will want every colour in multiple variations in every type of scrapbooking object as possible. So if you are wondering if you have enough, maybe count up your

stock and see how long it will last you. Have fun!

How I use my home for craft

So my home is decorated by my craft. For example, I have a craft room where I store my craft supplies and have space to do my craft and then I have in my lounge room showing my craft creations (pictured above) and also storing craft supplies like yarn, where I love to look at and think about the possibilities of what I can do with my craft supplies. It makes me feel good to come home and be surrounded by my craft. And it’s ok to never have your craft room finished. For me it’s a work in progress. I am always changing it and my supplies and where to showcase my supplies. This is because my interests change. One month I may be heavily into crocheting so I don’t need a table for that, I can just sit on the couch. I really just need storage for my yarn and crochet needles and my half completed crochet projects such as draws to cater for these. Another month, I may be into scrapbooking so I do need a table for this, my set of draws for the stickers and tapes and then ...

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket. I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...
