Craftstudio

As I have been hinting, I have been cleaning and reorganizing my "studio" which is a relatively small bedroom in our house. Usually, even after cleaning, its a mess. Well, after visiting Jeanne I desided that it is about the time to go trough this mess with critical eye and organize it all. I mean all of it. It took me about week. I am finally finnished, every single closet and drawer is now gone trough and organized. Not all of them are in majestically uptight position, but still all the clay is in one place, all the cutters are in one box. Etc.

When you come to my room you first see the closet and computer. Then there is a cabin filled with stuff, on top of that are some metallic findings and items, some pens, paper stuff etc. Then the working table is in front of the window giving me the view to outside.


Next to window I have one book case that has boxes filled with tools and accesories like metallic powders and cutter blades etc. The kind of stuff that one needs to remove from the table having 2 and 5 year old kids running around. Next to my pastamachine you can see about 30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm plastic box filled with misc. small items on the self - the kind that everyone has on their drawer bottom. I will go trough it when I have time, but I had about 10 times more of that stuff before starting, so I am actually impressed myself being able to reduce the amount of coins, bolts and lint to this small bin.



Next to them I have two old office bookcases that are deeper than the ordinary bookshelfs sold here. I have bought some expencive/cheap stackable plastic bins to be able to store my stuff, so the shelfs are filled with them. And yes, as I told you, I bought a lot of stamps while visiting USA When I finally have organized all this stuff I have bought during the 10+ years of crafting, it seems that some items I have PLENTY of. Like cookie cutters - although I usually use only 3-4 of them, the amount of cookie cutters is impressive. Oh well, kids love them. To them that is one of the best assets in my studio




I also have plenty of molds made with Alley Goop and other molding materials. The ones I use mostly are mainly from nature. The clays are organized to 4 boxes by brand. I still have some Premo in misc. colours although I have been using very much smaller palette lately. I even organized my pens!



And yes, I know, you would not believe I did my closets too if I did not show you the picture. This is what is hidden behind the door. Not bad for impossible pack rat like me.


I am SO proud of me!
