WOYWW 310 - New Crafty Corner

Well I did it...changed the places where I land to do my craftiness. I'll have to post all about it soon. But in the meantime, I've moved back into my big ole desk with the cubbies, and I like all the new space I have now, compared to before.

My cubbies were a mess too and I cleaned those out.

On this early morning, before heading to the office, I'm having my mug o coffee and sorting out 37 skeins of DMC floss. I'm in love with the dollhouse pattern on El Blog de DMC. She is sharing the 12 rooms, one month at a time. We are now done with the top floor (and no I haven't crossed one stitch yet), and of course you can retrieve them all anytime. But the point is, I was lazy. Hubby and daughter treated me like a queen on Mother's Day, and that included a trip to Michaels--which I had been trying to avoid excessive craft shopping. Maybe I've watched an episode of Hoarders? Anyhoo...it just seemed so much easier to use a fabulous 25% of the entire purchase coupon and get all the skeins I needed for the project instead of trying to dig them out from everywhere. Also got new stitchbows in that discount, and I'm getting the skeins popped on them and the project will be ready to go! They will be organized in a little Stitchbow bag I have.

At the back in the catchall tin bowl is a bag of 25 stamps I won from Unity! Can you believe it? I participated in one of their Facebook contests and quickly received a bag of 25 random stamps in the mail one day. I am so excited to sit down and explore and get them all categorized and put away nice and neat as I choose the first ones I want to use. I may put some of the sentiments on blocks--I have a whole box of old jenga style blocks I use for that. They usually stick on pretty well.

I'm really enjoying my more organized, prettied up space. Here's a little peek at my drawer.

 Am I all organized or what! I just used everything I had, and this had previously been a messy drawer, and then this tray was full of disorganized bits and bobs on a shelf. Now it's serving this drawer to my craft desk very well, and I can find things. Yay! I consolidated most of my sewing stuff though at my new sewing table, and I will post about it all when I can get the photos done.
In the meantime, Joseph is behind me on the floor poof--which he thinks is a cat bed--and he says hello!
