This is my temporary home, trapped in a corridor shaped area, between the dismantled double bed and the wall, while my craft room is being demolished and put back together again. the airing cupboard with the hot water tank has now gone, which is the good news. The bad news is that, as in most rooms in our house, the plaster is only being held on the wall by the wallpaper. That all has to come off and be replaced before things can start to get back to normal. So we need to wait for the plasterer to be free to come back. Meanwhile, my very kind husband has slotted most of my stash in its cupboards into this tiny space. I have just enough room to sit on my swivel chair, and turn round with extreme care. My computer is useable but I cannot find room to set up my Silhouette, or even get to the Sissix, but, I can still craft, which is good. I cannot wait to get back to my new room, which should have treble the working space, now the airing cupboard has gone, and room to spread my cupboards, with shelves on the wall for discs and files etc, hooks for my reels of tape, my ruler and my two heat guns. Bliss!!!
I have just finished my latest batch of samples, so I need to spend a concentrated session getting to grips with the rest of the birthday cards I need to do for this year, do a few more Christmas cards (having found the box with my Christmas stash in). Then I want to sort out all my stamps. I have some totally unused because I could not find them when needed, so an index is needed with a much better system of storage for them.
Indexing is also needed on the computer to enable me to find the actual file I need for a given project. All my prerecorded bought discs are copied and stored on the external hard drive for ease of use. My problem is with the mountain of other files accumulated over the years - photos, decoupage sheets (some mine, some bought or downloaded from others), parchment designs etc. The trick is to sort them properly without losing them. What fun!
