WOYWW 817

Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.

Rainy days, windy days, cold days, bring back the sunshine!  Oh right - I have just remembered where I live 😆😆.  Good old British weather!

Last WOYWW I saw a picture of Morti's room with ceiling high shelving.  1 went into my room and took a look - could that get some more space?

This was last year

Yesterday

I have been sorting most of the week determined to get a bit of extra space, even going slightly overboard and sorting out drawers and containers too.
Second side
Oh I have a radiator in my room!

I could have finished yesterday, but I wanted to have something to show you today.

The book on the left was in a tin, right at the back of the top shelf, I had forgotten all about it. I was sent a box of goodies, lace; beads; self adhesive glitter sheets. I think I had to make 3 things, but I can't remember what the other two were. The trouble with making such a highly decorated book, is where to keep it.   On the right is my Faith Art book.  I took the completed pages out and have been pairing them up with the aid of brown tape and over that washi tape.  I have put clips all the way along till the glue dries and having run out of clips the other pages I will do tomorrow.

My craft desk today, also showing some items I ordered from Shien. One pack of 2 two was missing, so when they sent me a questionnaire asking how was my order,  I put that one item was missing.  Having given them the order number, the item number and a photograph taken from their site of the item, I was amazed to have a reply asking me to send photographs of the item and if I wanted a refund, to return the item!  Considering I am only down 36p I probably will just forget it and maybe not order from them again.

Did my room sorting work?  I definitely have more floor space, it doesn't feel so cramped and while there are not any noticeable gaps, it is better.

Isn’t it amazing what we unearth during a craft room sorting out? It made me smile that the radiator surfaced though, lol!! Your shelves do look very organised now, a thing of beauty as long as you remember where you’ve put everything!!

I have cards to show next week, done my blog for this week and so I reckon I have time on my hands to do some purging in my craft room. I am like you Angela, I need to make space and to be honest I have too much stuff that never gets used.
Love the look of your books, seems ages since i did something like that. Maybe after tidying .....
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

I nearly always find something I didn't know I had when I sort stuff out or go looking for something else. Sounds like I'm not the only one trying to use up some old stuff. Been lucky this month as I've found a lady just starting crafting so she is pleased to accept anything useful. Trying to set her up with the basics. I try to be organised with the storage boxes but there's always something I can't find. Wishing you a very happy woyww. Hugs Angela x10x

After a certain point it gets very difficult to keep control of your craft items!! Also of course the memory fades, or your rational changes - initially I stored stamps by the same company together but that isn't very helpful when you want a butterfly stamp - it's quicker if all the butterflies are together!! Of course I've been saying for years that curating your stash is a separate hobby!!
I'm not entirely sure about those colour cubes, they are VERY expensive for what they are (although it is cheaper to buy both together .....). I won't decide yet, I just feel it's easier to work with a 'hard copy' than something on a screen.
Have a lovely creative week, love n hugs Cindyxx #13

Hi Angela, no nothing between my fabric book pages, just 2 pieces of firm canvas type fabric sewn together that's all. Glad you found your radiator LOL and that you are sorting your faith journal out amongst all the sorting. I still need to sort. Moved lots to son's/spare room when I had condensation running down my walls and not sorted since - ho hum. Hugs BJ#3

Glad the sort out and rearrange has created a little more space for you Angela. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah
