Tidied up Craft Room

I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter break and, for those of you back at work today, I hope it hasn't been too bad.  Jon and I both took today off so have had a little exrtra break.  We were meant to start decorating our lounge, but I've had a nasty cold and haven't felt up to it.  However, I did feel up to finally putting up the furniture I bought for my craft room last year!  It gave me the incentive to get it all tidy!

I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd share some photos with you.  It's not as glam as a lot of those out there, but it's mine nad I love it.

My very clean desk and one of my new bookcases that also houses my cook books.  The paint pot and dust sheets are for decorating the lounge.  I also have my little tv and dvd player in here now for company (and sometimes distraction!)

 My sofa bed with some of my Pooh Bear collection. Also shows my two drawer units.

 My other new bookcase.  I saw this on Michelle's blog and just had to get it.  I'm glad I did as they don't sell it anymore.  On the top are my flowers, the bottom two shelves contain cardstock and papers, as well as my little box of beading stash.  The drawer has been filled with some card blanks, cello bags and other bits and pieces.  On the top shelf are some craft cd's.  Jon looked at the empty shelf and said "Is that ready for new goodies?"  Hmmmmm.......!

 This is a close up of the first book case with my cook books. On the second shelf are some cd cases with my Elzybell stamps. The other boxes are full of stamps. The bottom shelf has some knitting and crocheting books and the folders where I had started to organise my stamps.

Close up of the drawer units. The one nearest the sofa is chocful of stamps (what a surprise!) The second unit has some stamps in the top drawer, ribbons in two drawers, some gems and sentiment ovals and the bottom two drawers has a mixture of ink pads, punches, and other bits and pieces.

 

I have got some cards to show you too, so I think I will save them for later on in the week.  Apologies for having been quiet the past week.  I've had a bit of an upset from someone I thought was very special and it has rocked me a bit, but I'm starting to feel strong again.

 

I hope to do some blog hopping later on and see what I've been missing.

 

Thank you for stoping by.

Yay, new craft room!

Sorry for the brief absence since my last post but I have been preparing for getting my new craft room! Ok, admittedly, it's not a whole room, but it's half of our spare room and I'm really happy! I didn't actually get to decorate it yet as work has been really manic, but it will get seen to once other priorities have been dealt with.

I've taken a few pics to show you. It's not as extravagant as some that I've seen, but it's mine all the same!

I will be adding some shelving above my desk in the near future so I can have some of my many rubber stamps to hand! The majority of them are in the top two drawers of the silver unit although I do have a drawer of unmounted stamps in the blue unit, not to mention my tote bag (not in shot) of my Forever Friends stamps!

I love the desk as it has the 3 shelves underneath where I can keep things close to hand, but not cluttering up my work space. Jon also brought me the Docrafts Creativity lamp for my desk so that I can craft in the evening without getting eye strain.

I now feel that I can get back into crafting again as I have my own little "creation station" and that is all down to my wonderful husband.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
