I don't plan to do this reguarly since my desk looks like this normally, but I'm hoping these will be the before pictures and next week will be the after "I've had a good tidy up" pictures.
So on my desk this
Wednesday is the mess from yesterday and the worst of it, I have to tidy up a bit before I can make a card.
To the right is this muddle, the pink bag is on a drawer trolley and this lot fell on top of me last week, which is why my elbow is so multicoloured.
To the left is another muddle of boxes but funny enough I know what is in them. See I work in a creative muddle where only I know where things belong.
My aim is to sort out all my 12 by 12 papers especially all the kit pizza boxes hiding in my dining room. To clear out all the crannies I can't reach and ask myself do I really need this. Can I work out if I can put another shelf in somewhere!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Debby, Your workroom pictures make us smile, it just looks like our room!!
ReplyDeleteIts fun to see the rooms that other crafters work in.
We would love it if you could hop over to see our creations, thetwopinkladies.blogspot.com. We love to hear your comments, we love your work and was following your blog even before we had our own.
Love and hugs

A true artist doesn't care about the mess ;) It looks very cosy and workable (is that a word?). Love the way you stashed your ribbon! I see you share my love for all kind of boxes!

A lady after my own heart. I can only work in a mess and if its not right beside me I forget about it.
ReplyDeleteI got my work space down to an A5 space before I knew it was time for a clean up. Last Saturday it took me 4hrs!

Oh, boy!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you really need to organize a bit... I schouldn't say much though, my craftingtable is at least as messy as yours.
Hmmm, maybe I schould clean up to??? Good luck to you, with your cleaning ;o)
Hugs, Hulda M.
ooh Debby,
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see a crafter who can still have a lot of muddle around her. I have something similar and my partner says I AM A FIRE RISK!!! I tell him not to come in my room while I am creating lol.
I have really tried to clear it but too embarrased to show
Lol. Jo.
Hi Debby
ReplyDeleteits creative not messy, lol, luv the ribbons trying to escape outa the bag! sue,x
Your working room might be in a muddle but I bet you know where everything is? I'm like you make a real mess when crafting then I have to have a blitz before I can start again, like this afternoon..lOl..lOl

LOL loads of stash Debby, can't wait to see it all nice and tidy next week! Claire x
ReplyDeleteJust in case they are gone forever here's a new one :-) You sure have a lot of stash, funny how we know where each item is even when we have such a lot of stash.
ReplyDeleteDebby,
ReplyDeleteI'm GLAD to see that someone else works in a MESS! ha-ha!
Don't know why but I too am "organize challenged"..I work my BEST in ciao!
LOVE looking @ a organized crafting area, just can't seem to be able to keep it that way!
No need to tidy before making that card; just push it all to one side! And here's to a creative muddle. I'm sure it makes us more creative!
ReplyDeleteOk ,, I have popped back again, saw that you had lost all your comments :-) You were the reason I got my camera out and took piccy's of my room too :-) I love seeing your room where you must spend most of your time :-) You have mountains of goodies and it does look like organised chaos :-) I hate tidying mine ,, can't find anything then lol ,,, :-)

ReplyDeleteHiya Debby,
ReplyDeleteAt last, a space that looks like mine! Just the way I work too, and I have lots of anonymous little drawers and boxes as well, can't say I know what's in them though..

Love too see other messy crafters, am always in a mess, tidy up, what a waste of time, a coule of cards and I'm back to square one. It's a creatiove mind that causes the mess Debby, remember that and you do make lovely cards.
