Craft room re-shuffle

So…

I was stressing about my scrapbooking paper. I just couldn’t find the paper as easy as I wanted. This is because I had them in a draw with 6in” x 6in” paper and A4 paper. Plus all the excess cut-offs, which I had no idea how I was going to use because I never looked at them.

I decided to create a tub and fill it with my scrapbook paper as well as an ice cream tub filled with my cut-offs. I actually have quite a lot of small cut-offs so this was handy.

I then moved my stickers out of my washi tape draw because that wasn’t fun to look through with all the clutter. I made a spot with sticker books to the back of the draw, my box of smaller sized stickers to the front with some other decorations to the left side.

Then I re-sorted my washi tape storage draw and have one section for all of my pens and the rest is tape.

I later did some scrapbooking and discovered I used a lot of the cut-offs because I could easy trek through it all. I also enjoyed scrolling through my paper to find the right pieces. I have very unique pieces so I haven’t sorted it by theme or colour or anything but they may change in the future.

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 ...
