I've got a few pictures of the Craft Cave to show you. I am very lucky to have such a great space to work in. Luis built me a new bookcase last weekend so I did some tidying and reorganising (it does not usually look this neat in here!). I almost feel like I'm sharing a dirty secret because you're going to see the extent of my stash hoarding. Here we go:
The chest of drawers is full of punches, dies, markers, coloured pencils and paints. On top are SU inks, Papertrey Ink stamps and drawers full of embossing supplies.
The desk is never normally this empty. About 5 minutes after the photo shoot it was trashed again!
Scrap pile on top of the rolling cart. I've since put all the scraps in a box as every time I opened the window they would blow everywhere. It's a bit sad how many times I had to pick everything up off the floor before I finally got around to getting a box!
Scary huh? The clear plastic drawers on the left are full of fabric. Next to the stack of paper shelves the white drawers are full of stamps. The grey storage containers on top are full of buttons, brads, eyelets, seed beads, etc. The wooden bookshelf on the left houses cardstock, patterned paper, chipboard shapes, flowers, felt and cardboard scraps. The wooden bookshelf on the right has magazines and more card stock and patterned paper.
Love the ribbon organiser. May get another one to put above it as those 2 clear plastic boxes are also full of ribbon. The brown box is full of Stickles and other glitter products.
Realistically, I shouldn't have to buy any supplies for the next 10 years!!! So why do I always want more?? It's like a sickness. Between the craft stash and my book collection I think I really have a problem. (I recently worked out that if I keep reading at my current rate it will take me 25 years to read all the books in my house. Terrifying). Right. I'm going to get off the computer and start putting a dent in the stash. Wish me luck!
