A Peek Inside

I promised you all a look into my crafty space.... and even though I didn't lift a finger to tidy up, I'm going to show it to you. I can promise you it's a mess in here right now. The rug needs to be vacuumed, and some things need put away, but oh well. It is what it is.

My crafty space takes up over half of my garage. I have screen door sliders once you roll back the big garage door, and I intended to open it up yesterday and let some light in. Yesterday was one of those days. I was almost late for my doctors appointment, was starving by the time I got out of there, and was besieged by the dogs when I got home. I also had my 90 pound granddog (he's not a puppy anymore!) So, with 3 full grown Boxers, and a year old dachshund, my hands were pretty full. And they all wanted cookies (milk bones) when I got home!  And attention!

Sooooooo you get to see my our crafty space in all it's messy glory!

This is Shae's side....sewing and embroidery machines. We fight over the cutting table. She says it's not a light box table lol.

This is MY space!

Hubby's laptop is at the other end of my space.

I told you it was messy in here! But these are things I'm working on, and can't just put them away.

I love the quote Laci wrote on my dry erase board..."When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt it!"

I store all of my finished jewelry in plastic jewelry bags, and hang them in their spot. I have over 150 finished items hanging here! They take up very little space when done this way. The big post office box is a package I'm putting together for my oldest daughter and my grand kids. Hopefully mailing that today!

This is my shell shelf! And yes, I reuse coffee, icecream, sugar substitute, and drink mix containers. At least they aren't in the land fill! My lightbox is on the top of the shelf for lack of a safer place to put it.

I also mark the shells by name/kind and where we found them :)

I still have this entire bucket from last weekend to sort through and put in containers.

This big nice tool box is where I keep my silver and gold plated findings, copper and brass/bronze. The sterling silver and 14k gold have their own box. I used to have my plated findings in a much smaller tool box, but I had to go to a larger box recently. So many findings!

Beads, beads, beads....and pearls, and more findings!

I love my crafty space, even in all it's messiness. I will have to clean up before I do that "About Page" for Etsy! If I ever get around to it.

We'll do this again when this place is tidy.....maybe in the year 2020 ....just kidding. LOL. I hope it doesn't take me that long to get things situated where I want them! We are always doing something to improve this room, and only recently moved Shae's machines to the other side. We still have a ways to go to make it perfect for the both of us....but it has come a long way.

Can you tell we stay busy in here?
