Craft room is upside down.......ekkk (1 Viewer)

[Mrsambulancekidd]

Well I decided that my craft room needed to be turned upside down & re-organised..........it has begun& what a mess, this is only a tiny bit and ALL the stuff/unit you can see with the blue boxes is down, as is the stuff I had piled onto my desk.......
I want to have my main desk up and running tomorrow, I hope to finish all of it, but we will see, it depends how I am.
Wish me luck in my madness.

my workshop is a similar mess and been that bad since the summer. I got distracted onto a 1 day garden project for Brenda that took near 2 months. The garden was then so nice that we then chilled out there till autumn. Now it is too cold

That would drive me mad, I just couldn’t work in that environmen.

It's only like that because I had to move things in order to move other things, so that I can reorganise the whole room......it's not in that mess normally, that would fry my brain.

You'll get it sorted when the weather allows I'm sure.

I will, but knowing it's a mess seriously annoys me

Looks like my study before I started clearing out old work related stuff

 

[Catchic]

Looks like an analogy of my life

 

[Reallyretired]

Spent hours yesterday disposing and shredding loads of old paperwork thats been accumulating in my study. Even the heavy duty shredder had to have a rest to cool down. Santa brought me a new webcam and its wider field of view on zoom etc means more of my study has to be tidy.

Your poor stressed shredder.

Could you not get the desk/workbench under the window..? Better natural light and you could look at the views if you have them..

More progress made, so getting there.......
THEN the brace under my big desk popped off........arrrggghhhhhh.......Robert came and helped me prop it either end, now I need to go in with one of his dewalts and some brackets and fix it..........

 

[Shrimp]

I love sorting stuff out. Turn it all upside down then put it all back in order, always surprising that you end up with more room than before!

 

[Mrsambulancekidd]

Desk is fixed.
The question is should I give him his dewalt back.....
oh I will because he loves them.

It's not normally like that, I do like to be able to see what I am doing.
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette...

I admire your tenacity.
my house is a museum to overwhelm. Quite prepared for scrambled eggs I find my enthusiasm wanes when I turn around and see a trail of destruction behind me. Feels like I'm spinning plates. But then I own a hoarding teenager so am on a hiding to nothing lol
Glad to be out working I realise this is the cause of my lockdown suffering lol. Summer is ok because I ignore it and spend all my free time outside (but is also the reason it got out of hand in the first place).
My plan is to run away from home and let them deal with it all

Mine would be easier if I had less craft stash, honestly the amount I have built up over time is insane.
If you ran away would the teenager survive?

We are reaching a point where their rate of survival will be higher away from me than anywhere near me

In all seriousness I think the combination of being at home more and getting closer to the natural time of moving towards greater independence is impacting on our psyche. Luckily, other than mess, we get along very well.
University looms and I keep reminding myself I will miss it when they're gone, however irritating the mess might be.

Yes it looks like it............but can you find anything yet?

Yes I can and the reason it's taking so long is because I've been rearranging where everything lives.

I have also given away some stash that I am not likely to use, one lot to a friend who is just starting out with crafting & I hope it lifts her rather low spirits.
The other is constantly making things to raise money for MND research, so anything free helps, plus the fact that she helped me when I started making cards.

Well done, a great cause which needs all the help possible,MND is an evil disease.

The charity is very close to my heart ... after watching my younger brother slowly deteriorate over the last 5-6 years with MND it was almost a relief when he finally passed away in August.

Mrsambulancekidd , I like the look of your light/magnifier in post 13. Can I ask where you got it please? Looks ideal for my fly tying bench

 

[Rosemary1]

I like the fire fighter calendar - is that to lift your spirits!
