It is a room we all love...
A room so near and dear to us...
It is "Craft Room" Day...
Come & See what I have done...
My baskets are filled with my fabric sorted by colors!
I didn't have room for my "Pot Rack" in this smaller kitchen so I used it in here...
...it holds the baskets that I use for my gifts and crafts!
I've gotta have my ribbons close at hand...
... all it takes is an empty cabinet and some tension rods!
Jars make for excellent storage!
You don't even have to buy them...just use up your empty mayonaise and pickle jars!
Goo-gone or Goof- off help take off the labels...after a hot water soak!
I get extra storage by using this over-the-door shoe holder!
All of my tulle is handy to grab here...
My "Dolly Dressmaker" has been my sewing assistant since I was about 7 or 8 yearts old.
She was a gift from my Grandpa.
She used to light up and the little pictures would shift on the fabric as she stitched away.
Turntables are always a fun way to organize your pens, pencils, cutting blades, etc.
Look for them at the Thrift Store!
And of course I had to use every spare inch of the closet too!
I am even more lucky to have such sweet blogging friends like you and my dear friend Deborah from Midlife Poet!
Deborah honored me today with the Mental Ninja Award!
Isn't that just awesome?
How did I get so lucky?
Thanks so much, Deborah! You are a "Mental Ninja" too!!
See you tomorrow!

OMGosh girl you have alot of stuff. I envy your organizational skills. This should be in a magazine for sure. Loving the tour. Happy Week-end.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why you are a mental ninja! You get a smaller home AND a craft room!!! Love how you have it organized. OOOooooo, join in on the blog party, Where Women Blog. I'll get you the link. **kisskiss** Deb
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I just love your craft room! I wish you could come over here and help me organize mine! I need help desperately! xxoo
ReplyDeleteNo wonder we have not heard from you for such a long time. Your craft room is a natural wonder. The organization and the neatness is so impressive. What fun this tour is for me.
ReplyDeleteHI Carrie
ReplyDeleteYour craft room is fabulous too!!!...you might call it "downsizing"...but oh my...it looks like you have enough space for all your interests and you are so organized.
I am feeling inspired by you to go redo my craft area...lol...I too "downsized " a few years back...but didn't have to give up a craft room either...we need these spaces...good for our souls:)
Cheers:)
Debbie
You are so organized - does it stay that way when you're working on things? And I have to say -- that pot rack is *genius*! I have one that doesn't work in my current kitchen so...I'm thinking it's going into the Doily Factory prontito. Thanks for that great idea - have (warm!) wonderful weekend. -amy
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie! It just really delights me that with all that you have dealt with...God's blessings are all over you!!
ReplyDeleteYou new home is really great, and I love seeing all of your special touches throughout!! It is all so lovely, and that craft room...simply amazing! I want to live in there!! :o)
LOVE all of your jars! My craft room is in the bay window in my bedroom, with stuff stashed in and under stuff! I think I am going to put up a curtain rod and make some drop cloth panels so I can just cover it up. It doesn't look bad, but I have been trying to make our bedroom into a lovely his and her sanctuary...but the craft area is a must, and there is nowhere else to put it! Maybe one day I'll actually post some pics!!
Have a wonderful weekend, gal! So glad you are doing so well!
Blessings and hugs,
Becky

ReplyDeleteI snuck over to check on how you were doing w/ drinking more water and found myself in an awesome tour of your beautiful "cottage". The craft room just makes you want to start making something. Great memory from Grandpa. Love the artwork above your sink and great idea on the bakers cupboard. Beautiful place! Now go drink more water!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great work space!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I have to concur with everyone else ... YOU are an organizational inspiration! This room looks AMAZING! I am sooooo impressed- what FUN you must have! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great room, if it were mine I don't think I would ever want to come out!
ReplyDeleteThis is the craftroom of my dreams!!!! I love everything about it. I've starred it, bookmarked it, and plan on looking at it daily, until my room looks just as good!
ReplyDeletejust wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and into crafts, I would have died for a room like this!!!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, your work space is so beautiful and so organized. It must be a pleasure to work in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog but what a treat to virtually "smell" your cookies (I didn't know the paper bag tip!) to the FABULOUS Craft room!!! Mine is about that size so you have inspired me to go use some of your organizing tricks. I don't know why you downsized but looks like it turned into a "good thing" as Martha Stewart always says. I'll be coming back. May I invite everyone over to my blog www.grandmamasstories.blogspot.com for some family fun, tips for entertaining children/grandchildren, baking, and a little wisdom from a retired teacher now stay at home grandmother of 5. I also share some of my mother's sage advice which can be very colorful and funny because she was a very quirky individual who loved her family fiercely! Come join me and tell others about me. I'm from Alabama so come on down for some southern hospitality.
ReplyDeleteok, my friend.......
