I have nothing to post today because I’m moving my craft area into a whole room. Yay!!! My sister and Mom came over this evening to help. I have a spare bedroom that was being used to store boxes full of things that haven’t been unpacked since I moved hear three years ago.
Most of the things in those boxes need to be stored in that room. A lot of it is crafty goodness that has never found a home in this house.
Anyway, to get back on track, we carried all of those boxes and put them on my deck. Then we moved all of my crafty goodness into the spare room. Well, it’s not a spare room anymore; it’s my craft room. Then we stacked the boxes in the area where I had my crafty stuff. It was in an alcove off my living room. Now I’m looking at boxes in my living room but that will help me be motivated to look through them. I know that a lot of things will be leaving my house. If I haven’t used it in three years, I can probably give it away. There are a lot of people in my family that most of my stuff will find a new home with sisters or nieces. The rest will go to Goodwill.
The things were put in the craft but not arranged at all. Hopefully I will feel well enough to do that tomorrow but I think I overdid a little today. I know that I will work through some pain though because I NEED my crafty place back!!!
Well, that’s was my day. I will post pictures when I get done. It won’t be pretty, Everything in that room is old handy-me-downs but it will be a whole room that I can devote to crafting. I have dressers that were antiqued in that ugly avocado green color. I’ll be changing that in time.
Blessings,
Christine

Aaagh Christine, it will all come right in the end and you will have a whole new room to mess up again lol.
My husband came home with a huge old desk from work last week and has put that in our now left home eldest sons room and like you it is becoming my craft room with all the odd mix and match furniture but it will be MY room.
Hope you feel better and don't forget to take care, just do a little at a time and you will soon have it all sorted.

Enjoy your project! You're going to love having a whole room for crafting!
Hi Hon...wish I was closer..the organazing part I am wicked at!! I understand the getting to the boxes after a couple of years. I'm a bit frustrated as I finally did that this winter..put all that stuff in it's place, expecting to be here a few more years only to find out - not. So now I'm doing the shedding thing again!!
I'm so excited for you to have a craft room...how wonderful is that! Don't ever say sorry for no creative work - you are by far the most prolific artist I know and always beautiful work. I just love what you do!!! Hugs, Sarah
I was looking for inspiration to get going again after on my organizing and downsizing after my trip. Okay, I have it now. I will be starting again on Monday.
Congratulations on your progress. An alcove isn't too much. It will be gone in no time.
