I absolutely love crocheting, knitting, sewing, crafting… Anything that involves a needle of some sort and a piece of thread/yarn/whatever. I love reading craft weblogs and looking at pictures of other people’s craft rooms and I’ve always wanted to try and use this blog to show you more of the stuff I do but I just never seem to get round to it.

This week I’ve had a massive clear out of my craft room to try and create an inspiring yet functional place! Most importantly FUNCTIONAL. I moved to by new house just over a year ago and was super excited about getting a work space but the more kit I brought to fill it out the more it got crammed into bags and baskets, hidden away to keep the room looking tidy-ish. So after mistakingly managing to pull one of my only two shelves off the wall I decided it was about time to sort this tip out. I got pots, baskets, tins, jars and new shelves and set to work. It took a couple of evenings and a few missed episodes of Hollyoaks but I’ve FINALLY sorted it and thanks to Max I’ve an extra couple of shelves to store all my crap on! Tonight I got my camera out to start snapping away but the damn battery died so alas… no pictures yet. It doesn’t really look that different just much better organised and I can actually get to my sewing machine!

I uploaded a few choice pieces of some of the stuff I’ve been doing lately to Flickr in the hope that it’ll prompt me to document my activities better. I’m working on a couple of craft related posts so if you don’t see something by the end of October nudge me, please… I need it!

For now I’ll leave you with this little guy:

Made by my own fair hands for my pal Vic! The pattern is available from Ana Paula Rimoli’s Etsy store (she’s the writer of Amigurumi World and Amigurumi 2), if you’ve never heard of her go check her stuff out, she’s seriously amazing (her patterns are so simple to follow and are all totally adorable).
