I had a serious case of room shrinkage due to...well I am not entirely sure what, but I got seriously fed up with it on Saturday after my class and did a MAJOR clear up and re-organise, including restructuring and painting of some furniture! To see the before and afters go here
This is my room of stash this morning and yes the word Relax is relaxing slowly off my wall above my desk...I need to go get some mirror tape (along with new glitzy handles for my re-purposed bedside tables now residing under my desk) from the hardware store.
The photo at the top of my post with the roses on the black canvas is what is still there from creating this step out series last night on how to make a rose from a punch. I think you can read the instructions if you click on the photo, it should enlarge enough.
This is the dining room table at my friends house where we meet once a month for a creative something or other and chin wag. We usually pick a theme like stamps, embossing folders, punches or dies and all bring our stash with and swap so we take home some new ready made things to play with. This Monday it was die cutting and so we have called our little group the BOND girls as we all now have Vagabonds and we die cut up a storm. The plastic bag on my desk to the left of the first photo is what I cut with their dies.
So now I am off to see what is on your desk if you have linked up with Julia on her blog over at Stamping Ground where she valiantly hosts us every week.
Thanks for the visit.

You do have a wonderful setting for playing on, maybe you should measure it to see if it has shrunk LOL
ReplyDeleteKaiser Cogs a new stencil on the market, love it.
Can I come and play too, just a little travelling involved and maybe accommodation, will bring stencil with me LOL

Gorgeous roses! What a great idea, meet and cut! Ohoo you've meet 'Himself'! Lucky lucky you! Have a great week. Happy WOYWW! Nan 7
ReplyDeleteThose look lovely - and possibly even easy to make, with the punches. They are so full and lush against the black. NO! I will NOT get swept away by the beauty and rush off to order them. I WILL NOT! At least not TODAY....

Bella you are right when I first come to your blog I feel like I am looking at my desk when I see the pink mat! Funny.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you had time to revamp your craft room. It always recharges me when I change up things and tidy up the place. So I know you must be happy.
I am loving the punch that creates a flower. So pretty. I am into flowers lately. So it's very tempting!
You know I like the idea of a monthly swap with craft friends to make stuff up and trade. Might have to get my girlfriends on board.
Well you have a blessed day my friend.
