Ever wonder how I work…

Mar 12, 2009

well I work best in small tight areas as you can see from this photo. This work­space is about 10 x 6 and I mean inches not feet. I made a project today in this teeny tiny space. Tomor­row I hope to work in at least a 12 x 12 inch space.

10 x 6 and I mean inches not feet

To the right of this tight lit­tle space is this big mess but you can see some of my favorite embell­ish­ments and accents for projects… Stick­les, Pearls, Scal­lop Ric Rac, Fiskars Tools, Cream Embroi­dery Floss, Tim Holtz Dis­tress­ing Tool (seri­ously the best out there), Plas­tic Spoon for Glit­ter­ing, Aleene’s Paper Glaze, Col­lage Pauge, Old Book Page etc. Wish I could show you the project I made using these items… I guess you will have to wait until Oh mid Feb­ru­ary of next year.

some of my favorite things

To the left of me is this pile of papers, trims, felt, tag tem­plates and other stuff.

Paper Pile

Then oh my… behind me is this table full of stuff… I should be so ashamed but right now this is my real­ity so you might as well see it. Lets see… I have my Copic Mark­ers, some Jenni Bowlin, Sizzix Die, Red Office Tag from Ken­ner Road, Maya Road Heart Shaped Box, Felt still in the pack­age from the photo shoot in OH, Twine, tools, pens, Stick­les, and other odds and ends. Oh and my cell phone… can’t take a chance on miss­ing a phone call. I’m sur­prised it didn’t end up get­ting buried under something.

Oh my...

As you know I am in super crunch time with my book dead­line so I just cre­ate and stack, cre­ate and stack… Sat­ur­day is not going to be a  fun clean up day but I fear if I don’t I will never get my work­space clean. There is hope.

I have been putting together my Hip­pity Hop Easter Work­shop in between book projects so be on the look out for this to post soon. This work­shop will include 7 projects and the price is only $9.95. It will include tem­plates to repro­duce some projects, sup­ply lists, color pho­tos and step by step instruc­tions. It’s gonna be fun and I hope to see you there.

    mom. you should be embar­rassed to show off that archaic cell phone of yours in this photo. hel­looo? you’re up for an upgrade. if you had a full key­board you’d be able to text quite a bit faster! :) love you.

    That’s clean, did you check out my blog last week or so??????? And you might want to lay those cop­ics down on their side not stand­ing up. :wink:

    Count me in! I bought all the stuff to “repli­cate” the Valentine’s work­shop for St. Pat’s but ran out of time!

    Oh great-it’s not just me! I took some pic­tures of my stu­dio when it was nice and clean in Jan­u­ary. When I miss that look I just pull up the pic­tures on my com­puter and admire them. When I’m work­ing on things-I end up with a lit­tle tiny work­space, too. Can’t wait for the Easter Work­shop Lisa.…and the book, when­ever that is. Happy clean­ing on Saturday-I’ll be at the flea market.

    So reassuring.….….perhaps it’s the nature of the craft beast.…..

    Isnt’ this how all of us work?? I just set up 3 tables, and of course, we use one for die cuts, and the rest of our 2x2 space is all cov­ered up with every­thing… Then like you… all the bits and pieces and left­overs have to be cleaned up and put away.. just to start all over again!!

    Oh, how I love to see that it´s not just me who works best on a over­crowded table/room. But how I wish that I could be less messy and more organized;)
