Hi! This is my first post here, and after spending some time posting all the pics in the gallery, I’m finally adding, you know, other content. 😉
January 2014 … and destined to change
So, I’m Shelly, and I love crafting. But for some reason, I haven’t really thought to share that online before. What’s sparked this new blog post is because I love my craft room … and as we remodel our basement, I have to give up my craft room up on the second floor and move down to dungeon – er, the basement. And I’m trying to think of this as a great opportunity to create an even better craft room, but it’s been harder than I thought at just the prospect of losing this haven.
Hence the picture. And part of why I haven’t done much tidying. Notice the bags of fabric on the floor? Empty storage boxes under the table? See, I’ve known about the possibility of this move for some time, which is why I’m kind of letting this craft room fall apart – which will make the new one all that more fantastic, and therefore not suck to dismantle what has been a labour of love for the past 5 years, and something I dreamed about for years before. (Who hasn’t dreamed of a place where you get to make a mess and then close the door and let it stay that way ’til you get back?)
But as I’ve been looking up new plans, I also found some of my ideas were really different, so I’ll be sharing the progress of the new craft room as well as projects and ideas here, with you. ‘Cause there’s something else you need to know about me: I love crafting, but I’m also cheap, which means if there’s a cheaper way to do it, I’ll find it. And I plan on doing the same thing as I create a brand new better-than-ever-dreamed-of-craft room, and all projects shared here.
So, come along on my journey. Have some fun. Don’t burn your fingers on the glue gun (or if you do, don’t tell anyone or you’ll probably get one of those lectures about being more careful). And remember: what happens in the craft room, stays in the craft room. 😉
Thanks for reading, and have a great week.
