Spring Cleaning: Craft Room Edition

Spring time means spring cleaning.

We cleaned out all closets, drawers, and corners. We bought new bedding. Sheets that fit...heaven.

It wasn't too bad though because I'm kind of a compulsive "tosser." I love to sell things. If I had a trillion dollars I'd sell everything I own every six months! Ha ha.

It went pretty well and quickly, except for my craft room.

Here are three before pictures.

From the doorway. That is the main desk that should really only have my sewing machine on it and some odds and ends on the end.

To the right. That is the table I keep my dinky light-box on. It needed an update!

Behind the desk. My chain and some yarn storage. I had to get the yarn out of these storage bins. It was a pain going through them and there was never enough room.

So, the first step was to take all the stuff out into a bigger room and sort it. Including the yarn!
I dumped it into the living-room, like you do.

Then I sorted it by color on the couch.

I bought a pegboard (Hubbins built a frame to support it hanging)

I bought a trillion of these pegboard hooks for it off amazon.

AFTER PICTURE #1! Here is the new view from the doorway.

After! See the new light-box? Made out of PVC and white fabric. Tutorial is HERE!

My chair. With a few mending projects on it. The bins underneath are holding finished crochet projects now.

Here is a straight on view of the yarn on the pegboard. :D So, happy with this result.

Thanks for following along!

Full Fledged Springanite

Spring is in full swing! The sunshine. The flowers. It's almost as if I had forgotten what it was like.

Happiness abounds. Everything feels full of hope and openness don't you think? Well, I do.

This year will be twice as great as last year! Lots of plans... including a two week trip to New York/New Jersey in July to see family out there. I'll be meeting most of Hubbin's family out there for the first time (or second because some came to the wedding.) He'll be able to get to know my family out there better.

Needless to say I'm excited and ready. I have BIG plans. As of this week we have officially finished the house. We've live in this house since November 2012. So, that is what? A year and five months. It has taken me that long but I have it decorated the way I want and as of this week we finished getting the curtains changed out. Perfection! I'll have pictures of those soon, hopefully.

Once the curtains for the bedroom come in the mail we'll be DONE. D.O.N.E. Then, I supposed I'll have to start making plans to change EVERYTHING, right? Ha ha.

This is my spring table decor

After getting my camera I've been taking loads more pictures and learning tons. So, this year will be a year of adventure as well. I want to get out and take GREAT pictures of beautiful places. To do that I need to GO to the great places! Wish us luck.

Honestly, Spring has to be the best season. Everyone loves Summer because its warm. In Summer you can have your windows down in the car, swim in the ocean, and sit on your porch (back or front) enjoying the world outside the domicile. But Spring is an entire season filled with HOPE and anticipation for those things. You can take them for granted while they are happening but Spring lays it all out for you.

Spring is the season of promises. So, close your eyes and make a wish!
