Every crafter has his/her own sanctuary for crafting, mine is a tiny spare bedroom in my home.
Storing and organizing
crafting supplies is important for me. I have various kinds of supplies : wool,
felt, ribbons, beads, findings, clay, silk flowers, dried flowers and moss,
metal strands etc.. I need a good and organized storage place for all of my
supplies, and easily retrievable at the same time, or else everything will be
in a mess and most of my time will be wasted in digging things out instead of
crafting.
Due to limited space in my home, all things
are densely packed into boxes of various sizes and stored inside a tiny spare
bedroom. This bedroom is very small, it barely accommodates a single bed, a
closet and a desk. Luckily this room has a big window which allows sufficient
light for crafting and taking photos of my work. The window sill is big enough to
create setups for product photos, 99% of my photos are taken here.
A flat screen TV is hanged on the wall to
provide a bit of entertainment while crafting. This room though small can
provide all things I need for a pleasurable weekend.
I have new Christmas decorations this year. These tiny glass figures are bought from Hokkaido Japan in a beautiful town called Otaru. The main street of Otaru is filled with shops selling beautiful items made of glass and nice cafes, it is a pretty and relaxing place to spend an afternoon.
I put the Christmas theme glass items inside glass jars and they become wonderful Christmas terrariums.
I made a couple of needle felted owls and took some photos of them, the photos turn out to look something like a scene in the Sleeping Beauty. The color tone, the atmosphere and the subjects quite match with the forest scenes. Maybe Sleeping Beauty is the inspiration for my owls and nests but I was not aware of it all the time.
