My little factory
So yesterday started my four weeks of production in preparation for all my juicy upcoming craft events. So far it’s going pretty well, minus the fact that now I really understand what it means to work from home. There is no leaving work. And since I help take care of Grandma part of the time, the two things sort of bump into each other rudely sometimes. I can’t remember ever getting less sleep. It’s like walking around under water.
Let me give you an example. Yesterday I nearly cried because just as I was going to put a fresh load of fabric into the dryer I discovered that it was “broken”. I spent about half an hour trying to make it work. I was about to call a repairman. And then. Eric came home and pushed the ‘start’ button and it worked. I had temporarily genuinely forgotten how to use the dryer- it’s the washing machine whose dial pulls out, not the dryer. Not good.
Anyway, I’ve got some cute pictures to share. The studio is really starting to come together. I changed the layout a bit so that now I’ve got an L shaped workspace. Here’s a collage I made to cover an ugly part of the L. I just layered papers and fabrics that I love to look at and covered them with glass. So cute!
There’s the collage in action! So cute and so practical.
Here’s my happy new iron caddy. My favorite little cigar box fits everything perfectly. No more losing my tape-maker!
Ooh, and I found a great new use for my favorite ikea containers. I found these a while back, when I was doing merchandising for The Urban Craft Center. I love them because they don’t interrupt the mood. They just let you see exactly what’s inside, without being distracting or fussy. And they’re cheap!
Everything within reach! Vertical storage! I love those boxes.
I think that’s all I’ve got for you today. Rest assured that I’m working on many secret goodies that will bring copious amounts of convenience to crafters everywhere. I don’t want to say too much but I will say that it’s all incredibly cute and will most likely be for sale at Baz Biz!
