I’m finally done with Christmas. I tied the last knot on Kat’s xmas present over the weekend and boy did it feel good! I used the end of my charm pack to make her pillow. (She has a polar bear fetish which I try to support whenever possible.)

Once it was done, I took a break to organize my little corner of the room. I love to organize. There is something zen-like about filling every nook and cranny and putting stuff back just so. We have one large bonus room that serves several functions. One corner is Kevin’s computer desk, one corner is my craft area, the kids have a large chunk for their toys and tucked into the last corner is our guest bed. I try to make the most of my little space and love wedging myself into my desk. Oddly enough. the layout of all my craft spaces end up looking the same. I’m a big fan of a U shaped desk. I like having my goodies all around me and only an arm reach away. Since it’s pretty clean right now, I snapped a few pictures.

As you can see, I’m pretty packed in. I had Kevin cut me a couple of long planks of wood that I lay on top of some boxes/drawers for shelves. The beauty of that is I can keep going up and up and up as I amass more goodies. I’m very lucky because this room has a walk in closet that I have claimed for my own so all the crafting stuff that isn’t often used can be tossed in here and left in shambles. Don’t believe me? Take a look.

Yeah, and this is after I straightened it up! You know that running joke where someone opens a closet and a ton of stuff falls on them? Yup. We have that closet. Don’t worry, I have a kid lock on it ’cause the contents would probably smoosh Kulia flat as a pancake if she ever managed to open it on her own. It seems everytime I weed through it, I’m able to fill it right back up again. Sigh. Ah well, there are worse things in life than having too many art supplies, right?
