Organization for a Craft Room

I guess I do like lots of color!

I will admit that my studio is a bit chaotic. The wall colors are bright and splashy. Every horizontal surface is filled with collectibles and objects in more bright colors. I work with all kinds of fiber, and that is fluffy and taking over! So when I think about organizing a craft room, my own space cries out for attention. 

Sometimes I fantasize about having the kind of studio that looks like it was just featured in a lifestyles of the rich and famous magazine--you know the kind--more ads for fancy perfume and watches than editorial content. Other times, I fantasize about having the kind of studio that tolerates paint messes on the floor and rowdy wine and book club ladies after hours. Mostly, I'd just like to find the stuff I'm looking for.



Soft wool is a great pincushion--it lubricates your needles!

I have been planning a few craft organization ideas lately. One place that gets my mental vacuum cleaner going is a site called ThreadBanger. I have linked the post I'm referring to and it is filled with inspirational photos of craft spaces. When I see other craft or art studios, it makes me want to renovate my own!

What is the one most important thing you would like to do to organize the room where your creativity takes place? Comment to this post and be added to the drawing for a wonderful wool heart pincushion! Drawing will be held on Dec. 10th, so add your comment today!

If there is one thing I cannot tolerate in my studio, it is straight pins scattered on the floor or counter. I love a good pincushion!

Thanks for stopping by,

Heart Art

My heart is bursting with love! Today is definitely a heart-themed day for me. After more than a year of trying to manage my heart health through diet and exercise, and a little bit of worry, I got word today that all is well! The blood tests reveal that my family history of heart disease will not be my undoing. A little bit of statin drugs and a whole lotta oatmeal, along with many hours of walking and a vegetarian diet, was all it took!

To celebrate this banner day in my life, let me show you a little bit of heart I made today. I am not yet finished; there are dozens of seed beads to be sewn. But this heart plump (don't you love that word?) is ready for its close-up.

I invite you to visit my etsy shop. One day soon, a wool heart plump pincushion will be ready for you to buy there! http://www.nestleandsoar.etsy.com

I hope your heart is bursting with love. Let's all warm up a bowl of oatmeal!
