Inside the Craft Room

Well, that's what we call it anyways. I always thought "studio" was too pretentious. I'm not painting the Sistine Chapel in there or anything. But I am lucky enough to have a room dedicated to scrapbooking which is the main craft that happens there. Davis has her own art room, which is almost like mine just different colors. I'll give a tour of that room one day- once she cleans it up, so maybe I won't, lol. My favorite part of the room is my hoosier. I've had this thing since before we were married, so going on almost sixteen years. It's been moved countless times. And every time I cringe that somehow the original boomerang glass is going to get broken. Now, it will have to be moved to Washington next year and that's enough to give me fits. 

It holds a ton of stuff out of sight which I love. It has the original flour sifter and porcelain top too. It's my most favorite thing I own.

I also collect vintage enamel ware so I use those to hold paint or ribbon.

My desk is a SA find- a vintage drafting table I got for $17.00. It still has the original labels and metal manufacturers sign on it. Michelle and I were somehow able to wedge it into the car. Of course, Evan and Brian almost killed themselves getting it out and up the stairs.

I upcycled one of the book racks I used to have in Davis' nursery to hold my squeeze punches and other stuff. Ribbon is stored by color in candy jars.

I guess I forgot to mention I share the room. With this.

So it's really more of a "hobby room" than a craft room.

There are a few more pieces in the room I will share later, like the table that matches the hoosier. And just in case your wondering if I'm a neat crafter or a messy one...this will answer your question.

And yes, I scrapbook on the floor. No idea why. I have plenty of desk space but always on the floor. Weird, I know.

Well, today should be interesting. We picked the hottest day of the heat wave to spend in the warehouse packing HSN kits. Brian will be back on air July 11th with two kits. Davis starts "nerd camp" today. So before we go to the Ontario warehouse, we have to drop her off at UCI. She is learning "Graphic Design and Video Game Design" so she should be right in her element- no sport camp for her! 

I hope everyone has a great Monday and I don't pass out from heat stroke!
