Craft Room Makeover....In progress

Oh my craft room.  It seems that this room is ever evolving and always needing help and room for improvement.

The pain in my side. 

The flat in my tire. 

The kryptonite to my Superman Woman. 

The room I have always dreamed of having…and have…but I just cannot get a good flow going in this room.   The problem is, e v e r y o n e dumps everything into this room when they don’t know where it’s home is really located.   It is not a functioning craft room at all; however, it is a functioning crap-dump room.  Mind you, this room is small, I don’t know the exact dimensions but I’m guessing it’s around 6 x 8.  This room also has big shoes to fill.  It is a hard working room with high expectations for it.  This room is multi-purpose room. 

It needs to function for all of my hobbies.
1)     Sewing:  Fabric, sewing machine, serger, and sewing supplies

2)     Scrapbooking:  Cardstock, albums, stamps, stamps and more stamps, ink, and so many more supplies (My absolute true love and hobby)

3)     Scentsy: For my Scentsy business, my stock that I have on hand, supplies for my parties, testers, samples, etc.

4)     School Supplies:  crafts for the kids, extra school supplies, etc.
 
5)     Kids Work:  All the special art and projects the kids have made from school (I only keep a small percentage of their work, no way I could keep it all.  Not with 4 children)

I got a small start this weekend with the craft room.  Since, The Mister was out of town, and I really need his help with my full vision  for this room.  I was only able to clear out one small area of the room but it was enough to get the momentum started; meanwhile the kids are temporarily losing their playroom since all of mommy’s stuff is currently living in it.  :)  Sorry kids.
This is the only real "Before" photo that I have, just image the whole room this disorganized and messy
I got started before I took a "real" before photo.  Oops!  I have a vision that will be using some of our other furniture and products from other rooms in the house.   However, I had to just focus on the one small area first.  (A.D.D. anyone?  No?  Just me.  Okay).  I can’t wait to put my vision into a reality.
I had some peg board that was already cut and painted for my displays at my bazaars or shows that I do for my Scentsy business.  It was hinged into thirds and forms into a standing triangle for my table displays.
However, this was taking up a lot of space on the floor of my room.  So, I decided to hang it on the wall.  I  L O V E  it!!   
 
I have all my Scentsy Bars, Scent Paks, and Scent Circles up on the wall.  Which was a big empty space and is no longer.
It’s so simple and I can easily remove it from the wall for my shows.  Another plus in my book.   Cute and functional.

What have you been up too?  Any re-arranging of rooms?  Do you love peg board?  What do you use it for?

Hey Girl!

Image
We've all seen the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" memes that are all over Pinterest.  Well, these Five Fabulous bloggers are hosting a "Hey Girl" link party;  View Along The Way , Decor and the Dog , Bliss Ranch , Two Twenty One and Domesic Imperfection .  This is a fun way to show some Valentine's Love for my main man.  Anyone, who knows The Mister and I, knows that we are in such love that we are inseparable.  I thought this would be easy, you know, since I've been with The Mister, for-ever.   But it was a little harder than I thought.  Trying to find the perfect picture to go with the perfect "Hey Girl" was a little tricky, too.  However, once I got into my groove, I could have done a gazillion more of these. How do you not fall in love, even more, with a man that falls asleep with their babies? Cheers baby!  You love me and you know it!   Happens every. Single. Time. I rent a movie Working on it, ...

ORC: Week One - Built-Ins & Overthinking

Image
 Well, here we are at week one of the One Room Challenge and I have officially wasted a full week overthinking my base cabinets.   I was so excited.  Ordered them online from The Home Depot, got curbside pick up.  Got them home and placed them in their new spots and instant buyers remorse.   What had I done?   I started sending pics to those closest to me and asking their opinions.  The icing on the cake was when the hubby got home and immediately said, "Holy smokes those things are HUGE!" I went on Instagram Stories and asked for your opinions, which was 50/50, so that didn't help at all....hahaha    I  then started using painters tape to fuel my vision.  I am such a visual person that I really need to see that what was currently in my home was not too large, cumbersome, bulky, and literally ruining my vision for built-ins.    I asked friends to check it out when they stopped by.  Friends!!!  It ...

Back to School....Back to Blogging

Image
Hey, hey, hey....I can not believe it's been nearly 5 months since my last post! 5 months!   That's forever.  Nearly 1/2 of this year.  So, far, that is the entire length of my employment at my new job.  See where I'm going?  Lots have happened in 5 months.  Unfortunately, just not lots around the  house, like I had been hoping for.  I think I had to glorious idea in my head that I would be able to get about 3-4 posts, consisting of projects, crafts, recipes, what have you, up on the blog each week.  I really did.  And then....reality hit. And it hit hard.    Blogging takes a lot of time.  It's enough that the projects take time, but then to add blogging to it.  Wow, was I ever delusional.  I don't blog for income, I blog for friends and family, mostly those out of town, to see what has been happening in and around our family.  So why put that stress on myself? ...
