Craft room and Glass store

Finally got my craft room rearranged.
I still have more sorting to do but atleast the end is in sight. I put all my glass making supplies in the black milk crate I found on the curb. Everything fits great. I put all my glass rods in a plano box after I took these pictures.


I will take better pictures this afternoon. I was still cleaning when I took these Saturday.
I drove to Roswell, GA Friday morning to visit Flametree Glass. It was the coolest store. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Here is everything I bought there.

On my way home I stopped by a thrift store I'd never been to and pick up a few things. I bought a large bottle of Sobo Glue for .69 cents, a picture frame for a certificate for .50 cents, this huge bread book for $2.69

and a bag full of watches for $3.99

Progress is being made!!!

I decided to take Thrusday and Friday this week as mental health days from work. I don't get paid vacation or sick days.
I'm so glad I took off work.. I've been really stressed with work lately and I needed some "me time".
I got a lot done today in my craft room.

Before


After


The craft room looks better but most of the stuff that was in there is now sitting in the living room waiting to be sorted out.


Chloe even claimed her bunk bed before anyone else had a chance to steal it.. lol


I'm not finished yet but atleast progress has been made.

100th post

This is my 100th post.... and I don't have anything to blog about. (crickets chirping)

I haven't done any glass beads lately been too hot outside.
I haven't worked on miniatures because my craft room is still a mess.
I have been working on my craft room everyday. I've discovered that I don't have enough room for all my containers.
I've really got to work on the storage side of the room.
This is what it looks like from my desk


The lovely picture on the wall was here when we moved in, it is covering a huge hole in the paneling that was also here when we moved in 6 years ago. I think I might remove the old kitchen table from the room completely. Probably put it on the back porch to do glass beads on. I'd planned on using the tv in my craft room but there isn't a cable wire in there so the tv has just been stored there for a few years. I'd love to be able to open the doors on the entertainment center again.

Craft Room Cleaning

I've been working on getting my craft room functional again. I worked on it all weekend. There still isn't enough space for all my craft stuff.
This is what it looked like back in March.




This is the progress I made by Sunday afternoon.



This is the $10 bookshelf I got at a yard sale a while back. I moved all my books off my wire shelf to this one.


My desk on Sunday.


This is what it looked like last night while I was working on Steampunk charms.

Craft Room Mess

I wish I had a lovely craft room to show off but this is what I have to work with. I took over the dinning room and made it my craft room. Sorry it's so messy. My cat Sam wanted to be in the picture, she likes me to watch her eat. The cats use the edge of my craft desk as a nail file. I have to feed them on the desk to keep the dog from eating their food.
We got the craft hutch for free. It wasn't very stable so I shored it up with a couple of 2x4.



I store all my miniature accessories in this set of hardware drawers.

I think I'll have to spend the weekend reorganizing in here. Wish I could work on it now but I've got to get some work done.
