Hello to all you wonderful bloggers who have a bit of fun each week at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/sharing. It is a lovely way to connect to like minded, organizationally challenged crafters. Today I finished my first double-wrap bead bracelet. Which took ever so long not only due to the extra length, but I used small beads. I love the shy glimmer of labradorite so I bought leather cord to coordinate; used one of my disco ball beads, and a religious charm I bought in an old church in Santa Fe.
This is just a hint of a project I'm working on for a swap at An Enchanted Affaire in late April. I can't reveal it, but rest assured I am anxiously doing my best work.
And now, for the real excitement, I continue to re-think my storage solutions. My craft space is small, with pressed into service bins, cupboards, shelves and a folding banquet table. Over the years my choice of materials has grown and now includes fabrics and trims in addition to all the paper and stamps and bits & bobs. So, really, it is overdue to reconsider what I use, no longer want, and do something about it. Above is a corner I am going to devote to fabric remnants. That big lump of brown is a burlap sack that I was thrilled to find. Thank you for stopping in. Have fun hopping around.

It's always good to rethink and reorganize. Clear out the old, make room for the new! You do beautiful work! :)

Great work, organization is a crafters nightmare as once you tidy up your work space is empty and it feels like your soul was stolen. I have a large space and I could take over the house.
