Last month’s Make Space for Crafting series over at Craft: inspired shamed me into thinking about my own craft area, which doubles as an ‘office’ and is the first thing you see when you enter my apartment.
OK: it’s a disaster. In general, I’m a fairly neat and organized person, so this is driving me crazy. I’ve been focusing on obtaining suitable storage and workspace (thank you, craigslist). But all the unused storage does me no good when I trip over the iron/ironing board that have been living on the floor for about three weeks.
So, I’m posting the embarrassing photos in all their glory to motivate myself to deal with this. Actually, I’ve already started… slowly… getting things organized. (This has consisted of pulling everything out of drawers and cupboards, creating a more hilarious warzone.)

Nice!
For about 2 weeks my workspace/living room/carpet was covered in sawdust and wood shavings…I’m pretty sure my vaccuum now hates me, but it won’t be for too long because I probably greatly shortened its life span. Go me : )
Dude, take some pictures of that… I’ll feature it!
I’d be remiss not to point out YOU’VE BEEN ON CRUTCHES. Give yourself a break, gimpy.
And good luck organizing. I do love me some functional, organized craft space.
OK, that may be a fair point. It is slightly difficult to start moving things around when you’ve only got one free arm and one good leg. However, I’ve got two arms now! No excuses.
Also, I just got a brilliant idea for calling in that favor you owe me…
