Welcome to a really messy craft room!

Since I can't show you any of the projects that I am currently working on, I thought I would show you my little piece of very messy heaven. When I decided to take these pictures, I at first thought that I should spend some time straightening up before I took them, but I thought that would take wayyyyy too long -LOL. So here goes a partial tour of my craft room. First, I guess you need to know that this is the "bonus room" over the garage and therefore has mostly dormered walls. The wall closest to the house is the full 10' tall wall, but the others are about 4' tall before they start slanting in.

This first picture shows just how messy I can get. This is normally my work bench desk, but right now it is so covered with "stuff", I really couldn't do much on it. This afternoon I was cutting some styrofoam for finishing one of my Autumn projects for MB, and I had to move a number of stacks before I had room to work. Bad girl.

These are two file cabinets which sit next to the work bench. In the small white drawers, I keep my GAST and WDW and Anchor and Six Strands Sweet floss. The blue box contains patterns for plastic canvas and crochet. The purple basket holds my overdyed fabric and the two file cabinets hold my charts by topic.

This is my old computer, and I have an inventory system of my charts on it, and hopefully after the holiday season, I can do some culling of all the junk I have. The little set of drawers underneath contain my tools - floss bags, needles, rulers, etc.

This is the bottom half of a bookcase and this is all of my DMC floss. I try to keep a complete inventory of all the colors, but I currently have a list of about 20 I need to replenish.

This is the top half of that bookcase where I keep my ribbons and several random brands of floss. This has been a great way to keep track of things.



These next two pictures are the large bookcases that stand at the full heigth walls. They contain my Cross Stitch books and magazines. The white binders are filled with my magazines each in vinyl page protectors. It is obvious that I don't need another thing when it comes to my stash, so why is it I can't stop buying???



I have been doing some stitching - I have finished my larger Autumn project, and am working on my "Stitched Piece" project. When I finish that, I will start on the Christmas ornaments, and will stitch on them until time to go - I don't know how many I will get done - we will see. I am taking pictures of them all, so after I get back, I will show them all to you.

I have been thinking about all my east coast Pals, and have hopes that they all suffered little or no damage from Irene. Or for that manner, the earthquake. World is acting a little crazy isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I really do appreciate those comments. Until next time, have a happy healthy, stitchy time!
