I've moved!


Well hello there.  No I haven't moved home but some of you observant readers may of seen that a few of my recent photos show the view of the back garden from up stairs.  Over a year of persuading hubby that there is room in his office for all my craft gear, desk and me  and still room for him, he agreed to let me in.  


I don't think he was quite prepared for the sort out of his apparently 'essential' stuff that he has accumulated over the years.  We had to recycle A LOT of magazines, thow away A LOT of rubbish (rubbish in my eyes), shift everything around and buy new bookcases.  In return I promised not to talk to him too much when he is trying to work and only listen to my wide varied collection of music on earphones.....well sometimes.

It's tight to say the least but it is better than having a very untidy desk in the living room for all and sundry to see.  So I have an untidy desk upstairs instead.....


I don't think he quite likes the pinkness of my area but as I told him.....too bad.  He also had an issue with my Perfect Peals powders drifting all over his workspace and computer...whoops.

Generally we get on OK, he is a bit precious over his stuff (and I'm a bit clumsy) but I just ignore him when I nearly rip his Ariel for his aircraft radio out of it's connection because it trails over my route to my desk.  Hope you enjoy the photo's of my desk mid crafting and of my craft storage.  Please ignore the messy bit (esp. hubby's record collection to which we don't have a record player for but apparently they could be valuable....to somebody) but as I say, it's very cosy! 


I hope you enjoyed having a peek at my crafty room.  If your anything like me I am increadably nosey when it comes to craft areas or rooms.

Thanks to all those that answered my question from my last post 'What are your crafting essentials?'  It seems like tea, chocolate and music is pretty high on most of your lists.  There where some kind comments about my mug and cat as well.  The mug I got at the Imperial War Museum and the cat from Artbox near Covent Garden.  He's solar powered so now the sun is out more he his waving furiously at me now.....hello cat.  Writing this I realised he doesn't have a name......any thoughts?

  6. It looks great :) Tea is definately a crafting essential - though I have to put mine on a shelf rather than the desk - just in case!!

  7. Congrats! You never know, given a few more months with the apparent hell of perfect pearls, Hubby may decide to create himself a new workspace in the garage (or somewhere else just as convenient *lol*)
