CRAFTY STORAGE

A bit of a breather

2012-01-15T19:26:00.001Z

Well, now with a full time job finding time for this blog is more and more difficult.

So I am taking a break from posting, but hopefully one day soon I will resume things as normal.

Thanks for your understanding!

Joe's Mini Scrap Studio

2011-12-09T10:00:00.000Z

Almost always we feature craft spaces that are designed and use by female crafters, so when I got this submission by Joe Gonzales I was static. Not only the space is lovely and useful but also rather masculine. I love the dark wood furniture, the displayed artwork, and all those lovely products close by and neatly organized.

Apologies

2011-10-29T14:43:00.001+01:00

Hello all
Just wanted to apologize for the lack of postings lately. I have been feeling a bit poorly and working hard on my day job so it meant that on the evenings I had little energy or time to update the blog.
I hope you will understand. I am trying now to do as many posts as I can in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed I can keep up!

Thanks

Paula

Janet's ideas

2011-10-21T10:00:00.000+01:00

I will let Janet explain her storage idea:

The first picture is storage I made to fit in a corner. The trays are salad take out trays from Quizno's. The structure is made of foam board covered with wrapping paper. The top is a piece of fabric over polyfil.

I think is brilliant!
