WOYWW One Hundred and Eighty something..

...i've missed the last few woyww's due to forgetfulness and generally not having any spare time, I think it's week 184!
Right to my desk..

 Not a great deal going on i'm afraid, A few cards i've yet to photograph and blog, and the remnants of a Utube video I filmed last night for my latest DT project
here's a peek

So what I thought I would share is a little unit I knocked up on Monday night for my Distress Stains, I had them stored in a basket but was just not using then as they ended up with stuff piled on top so I couldn't see them.. I'm quite a visual crafter, I work more with things if there right there staring me in the face, so to speak.

I was lucky to have the base box pre-made, I think it was a gift box base at some point, but I had it filled with random bits, and it worked out to be the perfect size. Then I just created a grid out of mountboard, and hay presto. I think it came out pretty good and I now hope to use my stains more now they're on show.
...............
This is a quick note to our fair leader Julia,
THANK YOU my scraps box is working fantastically, I can't believe I never had one b4 xx
...............
Right off to hop some desks, In case I don't get to do another desk hop b4 Christmas,
I wish you all a very Happy Festive Season xx

WOYWW 180: The Scrap Box Edition

Good day fellow desk hoppers, Today I have a very tidy desk
BUT.. I do have a project to share that was inspired by Julia's GIIGU post at the weekend

Something in me looked at her idea and thought I need me one of those.. So I set to making it happen.

I started by evicting a pair of boots from an old gift box I was using as a shoe box,
{rough size is 8" x 12" x 5½"}

I made all the dividers from heavy cardstock, and added the tabs {made using the 3rd largest labels 8 nesties die, folded in half, and rounded off the top corners as they were a bit pointy.

I have everything in colour segments, there are 2 tabs in each. The base colour, then the patterned colour, although my cream section has 3 tabs to accommodate book pages and song sheet paper.

I also have tabs for mixed scraps, christmas scraps and bubble wrap.. then there is a load of random bits needing a home at the back lol

The box was gold to start with but I painted it cream, and wrapped the lid with washi tape, finished with a little pull handle just to make it look pretty.

So thank you kindly Julia for the idea.. now I just have to wait and see if it works for me and it stays neater than yours LOL

Right off to hop some desks x

WOYWW 61*The Big Reveal*{photo heavy}

Hay Julia and the rest of the WOYWW crew, I'm just off to bed as i've just finished a night shift so if one of my lovely visiters could linky me up please,that would be grand.
Well here it is.. the grand tour of my newly re-vamped craft studio {you'll have to excuse my muddled words at the start, and my slightly naff camera shooting, this is my first real use of the video part of my camera}

Well there you have it... Maybe not quite as grand as some may of imagined but i love it.
 There are still tweeks that need to happen, like proper ikea baskets to fit in some of the cubbie holes of the bookcase, and the wall that surrounds the comp will eventually have shelves/a unit there.
But for now i am like a piggy in poo, Hope you enjoyed viewing as much as i love creating in it!
Here are few snaps in case you missed it through my waffling...

Sorry i only made it round to about 1/2 of you last week, i ran out of time..
Here's hoping i manage a few more this week.
Thanks for visiting, Happy WOYWW

Delayed WOYWWAC and I love Ebay

Hay there you..Hope you've been enjoying the glorious weather we've been blessed with just lately.
I finally finished my anniversary piece for the woyww challenge.. if you visit often you will know i wrote a poem for the event but ran out of time to make it into something.. well its now on canvas.. some words were changed/cut from the original to make it fit and flow better and it looks like this..

It took an absolute age to cut out all the words but i really like the finished piece which is already hanging in my craft space.
***
Talking of craft spaces mine just got that little bit smaller {but only for a short time}!!!
What i hear you ask.. well i've decided to have a bit of a move around when i'm on holiday at the end of the month..and was just looking into units and what not that i might like in my new space.. i has seen some ikea storage that was nice but kinda pricey.. so just on the off chance.. not expection much i hopped onto ebay.. and there they were not 1 but 2 at a cost of less than 1 new one...AND just down the road {they were pick up only}..I couldn't believe my luck.. It was a tense couple of days wait for the auction to end but i was the only bidder thank goodness and now there here with me.

WHOOP WHOOP i'm just sooooo happy.. Is that really sad.. that im so happy about storage.. well i dont care coz i am and i can't help it lol
Roll on holiday time so i can fit them into my new space properly {they are already in and full i might add but its made the room extra cosy shall we say PMSL}
Enjoy the sunshine, lets hope it lasts all weekend!
