What's goin' on in the craft room

Slowly, very slowly, I've been working on my craft room.

I'm hoping this weekend me and the husband can move his crap

into one corner, organize it, get rid of some of it

and then

put something cool in front of it

to camoflauge it!

Like maybe these old door's from my dad's attic...

and another old door that is out in the barn.

See that maroon iron bed?

My daughter wants it painted gray and put in her room.

The craft room is full of projects.

Like this...

{Another "gem" found in my dad's garage. My mother loved old, chippy,

junk, antiques before it was cool. See pic below...

another piece my mother found somewhere.}

This will be painted black and go in my other daughter's room.

I'm hoping to buy the paint this weekend and finish it.

 

Here's my new chalk board wall in progress.

I fininshed painting it, but haven't painted the second coat yet.

I've been too busy this week and it's driving me crazy...

all I want to do is be in my craft room.

Cleaning, organizing, working on projects!!

{I just noticed you can't even see the typewriter on the floor. I'll post a pic soon... it's really cool}

I can't wait to write on that chalk wall...

neither can my kids.

I put magnets on the back of some of my collages and stuck them to the metal door.

Messy mess.

My daughter, Lydia made this one. I like it.

Still working on this one. It needs a little something more.

I like the poem. I have it on my fridge.

I think it's important for parents to remember.....

REALLY like this song.

I printed it out a couple of years ago

and gave it to my teen girls.

Important for them to remember and also

us moms too!

Still shiny... not dry yet.

I've been neglecting my jewelry making, but here are a few things I'm working on....

I think it's time to clean out my beading board... what a mess!

TODAY IS EARTH DAY... BE KIND TO THE EARTH

Progress on my craft room

I've been spending a lot of time lately cleaning my junk of a storage building. I still have a lot of work to do, but it's coming along. I decided I wouldn't wait till it was finished {because it may never be finished since it IS still a storage building} to start crafting. I'm slowly bringing things from the house to my ~NEW CRAFT ROOM~ I'm so excited.

I had tons of clothes that my kids have outgrown and did not sell in our yard sale hanging up in the building so yesterday I bagged up SIX trash bags and 3 wal-mart bags full of clothes to take to our church. It looks a lot better... more space!

I piled a bunch of stuff in a container ... what a mess! See any goodies in there?

SUPPLIES!






~Projects I'm working on~

I just love this quote.....

I'm looking forward to posting some of my FINISHED projects

and

more pictures of

my craft room

as it becomes

just what I want.

Craft Room Journey....

This is my storage building. A few years ago it sit by the road and I had a children's resale shop in it. I didn't have a lot of business, but it was fun and I tried. That's what counts... I tried! I was open a couple of years and then decided to shut it down. We moved the building into our pasture, just outside of our back yard. My husband built the hitching post for our horses. It's a cute little building and I have BIG PLANS for it.


Here's what it looks like inside right now. Sad, I know. BUT... I will have a yard sale this weekend... FINALLY! It's been raining for the past month so my yard sale has not gone as planned. It's going to be dry and warm all week so this week I will be pricing and organizing.

Look at this mess!!
See that cute iron bed? It's going in my daughter's room. We'll paint it as soon as she decides on a color. My mother bought this bed for me about 30 years ago. It's been gold, peach and the burgundy color it is now.

This is my husband's side of the building.





My BIG PLANS..... are.... to clear the building out and make it my craft room. It will probably take awhile, but when it's finished I'm going to be one *happy crafter*
I have an antique door that I'm going to make into a crafting table and lots of ideas, which I will document in my blog.

Stop by and watch my progress. Also, I will be asking for ideas.

Have a great week y'all~
