Not often seen ...


A Tidy Craft Room
 This is site not often seen in my craft room ..... it is tidy.

And the only reason it is ... is because I am going away.

I can't leave my house messy when I go away.

I always have to clean and tidy first and I bet I am not the only one that does this.
So this is my craft room in a tidy state and the rest of the house is being done after this post.

But I wanted to show you what a good girl I was and how nice it all looks when it is tidy.

I will show you some more when it's not ... looks like a tidal wave has hit it then.


Have you noticed the ribbon rolls on a curtain pole?

This is a really option  from Ikea and the rolls fit onto it really well.

At the moment the pole is lying across the handles to the cupboards but Griff is going to fit them to the walls for me when we get more hanging brackets from the store.

The whole lot .... pole, finials and brackets cost a couple of pounds and will fit the bill for what I want to do.

And is just as good as some expensive ribbon holder.  I will show you once it is added to the wall.

Even the part where I do my colouring in is tidy ...   for now and I am feeling really pleased with myself.

Hugs xx

  6. Love your craft room. When I go somewhere I too make sure my house is spic and span, cause usually when you get back from vacation you need a vacation to recoup from the vacation. lol So the last thing I want to have to do is housecleaning.

  12. Hi Christina, First of all, I hope you are having a lovely cruise, those lovely places, I'm so envious ha ha. I'm also envious of your 'very tidy' craft room, I don't think my craft room was as tidy as that before I started crafting in it ha ha !! I managed to tidy one side of the room but the other sides are a complete tip, the thing is when it is a mess, ie when I have been on a spending spree and just dumped the various bags somewhere, I can always find what I'm looking for, when I've 'tidied' I can never find anything I want ha ha, that's my excuse anyway, my craft room is like 'the black hole', some things I never see again ha ha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
    PS Bring some sun back for us ha ha. xx
