  1. Beware the Shopaholic

    Last summer I finished organising my craft space. It took months of planning, seeking out storage solutions and regular trips to IKEA. I finally opted for an IKEA EXPEDIT unit to house my vast craft collection.

    I chose an IKEA ALEX drawer unit to store my wood backed stamps. I like that it sits on wheels and fits underneath my IKEA EXPEDIT desk.

    Unfortunately, it hasn’t been the ‘Crafty Ever After’ I’d hoped for! I missed a vital consideration when planning my craft spaceā€¦ Beware the Shopaholic!

    I forgot to take into account my craft treasure magpie eye, and left no room to expand. It hasn’t taken long for things to get out of control and now it’s all a bit chaotic again! The mess causes creative misery and I spend more time trying to clear a space and searching for supplies than I do crafting.

    I’ll keep you updated on my craft storage journey. šŸ˜‰

  2. New Year, New Blog

    28th January, 2012 by iGirlZoe

    Christmas Tree
    December is my favourite month of the year. I find Christmas as magical at 35 as I did at 5. So it’s fair to say that I find January difficult. There is too much month at the end of my money, the weather can be dreary and all the beautiful twinkling Christmas lights come down.

    This year, to combat my New Year blues, I’m jumping into the blogasphere to share my passion for crafting. InĀ addition to the usual eat less, exercise more, I’ve decided to trim the fat from my craft space.

    I shall post photographs of my progress and I welcome your comments, questions and ideas.
