End In Dreams: Craft Space

A while back I mentioned that we were moving to a new home and how excited I was about this process.

Well, as we're finishing our second month here (and first full month actually all moved in) and the new place is wonderful and feels more like home every day.

My mom was able to come up this weekend to work on crafts but we spent the whole time hanging pictures and setting up the extra bedroom. This room has really become the 'Et cetera room': I want to use it for crafting (both witchy and arts), the Kiddo's piano is housed here, we have our gecko and newt cages and it's become the cat sanctuary (for when they don't want to deal with the dogs).

Since this room is multi-purpose, we had only about 1/3 of it to work with and the large, bulky stuff (fabric, yarn, scrapbook paper, etc) is organized in the closet. I'm not finished but I am a heck of a lot closer than I was on Friday.?It really looks fantastic and I'm inspired already. In fact, I think it's where I'll spend most of my time.?I dabble in a lot of different crafts so it was hard for me to visualize a space that would organize all of my different hobbies. She didn't have that problem at all! (To be fair, she has some experience; her craft room is incredible.)?It's amazing to me that I feel so much more connected to this place with just the addition of pictures and shelves!

Desk and shelves: need to be painted! Scrapbook box needs to be organized, need a new lamp

Close up 1: glitter, pens, citrine for creativity, a God & Goddess statue

Close up 2: paint brushes, clay tools, buttons in jars?

?Close up 3: knitting needles, crochet hooks, counters, placeholders, end caps

I have a bookshelf on the wall behind this desk that needs to be organized; I have my sewing machine and craft books slated for occupancy. Also not pictured is a cabinet to the left where I will organize my different altar pieces (you know- the different chalices and offering plates, altar cloths, candle holders and candles) and above that is a wire that I will use to hang and dry the harvest from my herb and flower garden. My actual herb collection lives in the kitchen but I hope to do my planning and journalling here.

So that's a little bit of my life and home! Hopefully next I'll scan and include the garden plans I've drawn up to bless at our Imbolc ritual next month.
