Hello friends
Okay so where was Friday Die Day yesterday??
It went on a little summer holiday as it clashed with the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
and Graphic 45 blog hop.
I am sorry for those of you who stopped by and wondered what was happening -
I did mention it at the bottom of yesterday's post but perhaps not everyone read that far.
I got a flurry of emails and some were quite cross, it appears crafters do not like change.
I promise it will be back in its rightful place next Friday
(otherwise I'm in trouble!)

Back to today...
Who crafts in a place like this....
(imagine that in the voice of Lloyd Grossman!)

The answer is Sandra Riley.
Sandra has sent some great photos of her crafty space, let's have a look...
An organised desk (far more space than my desk right now!)

Everything to hand - look at all those ink pads and great twine holder.
To the right of the desk with handy storage drawers on the window sill.
An exciting photo showing the Grand Calibur and magnetic die storage - brilliant!
Lots of lovely 12 x 12 paper and some ribbon storage going on there too.
Thank you so much Sandra for sending the photos,
it is so great to explore these crafty spaces.
And..it's not too late - if you would like to send photos of yours -
remember it can be your dining table, your garden shed - just wherever you craft.

Morning Christine, wow what a tidy space! I'm envious of the tidiness. My craft table is covered in bits of paper from making 60th wedding anniversary cards for my mother and father in law ( yes 60 years!), glitter - well you gave to have glitter and bits of jewellery making ( I branched out). The floor has so many storage boxes that I've pulled out to make the cards that it's an obstacle course to get to the table....... Perhaps today I'll have a go at tidying.......it looks like it's going to be a rainy day. Have a wonderful Saturday.... Lynn
ReplyDeleteNice craft room. I love to check out other crafty spaces for storage ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. What a lovely surprise to see my wonderful new friend Sandra's great crafty space. We meet up a couple of weeks ago, along with Pat another crafter, as we all live near to each other. We meet at a cafe and four and a half hours later we finally parted with very numb bottoms! We are going to Sandras house next time so I will get to see this, very organised, crafty space for real, I can't wait Sandra : )
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend Christine. Take care.
Hi Christine. Love Sandras craft space. How tidy-mine looks like a bomb has hit it all the time.
ReplyDeleteGreat how crafters meet up and become friends (Mrs B's comment)
Have a wonderful weekend. Hope the weather stays fine for you.
Love Val x
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteI really like to see other crafty spaces,looking for ideas.
Thank you Sandra yours is wonderful so many lovely things.
Please don't worry about missing FDD this week the book you showed was really special and such a great idea.
I hope you have a good day. Take care. x.
Wow would love a desk that size but would still probably end up working in a 6x6 space lol xx hazel
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Sandra's crafty space-how organised it looks. I need to spend some time in my room of stash as it needs a good clearout then I need to make a start on my christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteMichele.
Oh a very neat and tidy craft room! When friends ask what I'm crafting I always add 'tidying' my craft space. I didn't realise how often I said it till someone pointed it out! I buy storage boxes etc but the stash just grows beyond them. I need more space...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed yesterday's post, tge book is beautiful. Have a lovely weekend Christine and Elliott.

Hi Christine ,love the craft room, I would need a full wall to store my dies I am a mad collector
ReplyDeletelove Jean Z xxx
Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of Sandra's craft room, such a lot of wonderful stash, if I only had that much space to store things I would be in heaven.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely craft room, and thank you to Sandra for letting us in. I use a similar way to store my dies, because I need them on show to see what I have. Will send pictures soon, but like most other crafters I need to have a tidy first.
Have a happy weekend
Chris xx
Great craft area. Isn't it funny, no matter how big our desk is, we end up with a small working spaces we NEED to keep everything at hand!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you got some cross E/mails about FDD, you are a very busy lady and sometimes things do not go as we had planned { not your fault Honey, you still blogged and we had a beautiful project to fill in the space , you did your best and did not let us down , and there are many more Fridays coming along, and always will be } .
Thank you Sandra ,you have a lovely Craft Room and look so organised .
Hope you have a lovely Weekend Christine
Take Care

Morning Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing craft room. The desk is brilliant - so much space and everything to hand. Love the wall of dies - you are able to see every die you have. I have to rummage through files to find mine.
I am sorry you got e-mails from Miss/Mrs/Mr Angry yesterday - it is such a shame. The blog yesterday was lovely and informative as usual. I loved it (and it also meant I didin't have to add another die to my wish list!!!)
Today I am off shopping ready for my daughter's birthday and then I will be spending some time in my craft room. Its that festive time of year!!
Enjoy your day
Lesley
Shame on those who got cross with you about the die day - yes I like it, but no, I wouldn't berate you about it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful craft room, I especially envy the stamp pad storage and that wonderful 12 x 12 card stand! I want both!!!!!
Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous craft room! Sandra really has packed it full and organised it really well!
I'm absolutely stunned and saddened to read that you received emails yesterday from some very cross crafters which you do not deserve. We all know you are a very busy lady and provide us all with a fabulous blog each day, full of inspiration and ideas. Yes, we all love FDD, but yesterdays project was excellent and of course fitted with the blog hop. I hope they haven't upset you too much, you do not deserve that.
Enjoy your day.

Morning Christine, a gorgeous craft room, so organised and full of lovely crafty stash. Wasn't around yesterday but have just caught up on y/days post and please don't worry about missing FDD, variety is the spice of life as they say! Have a great weekend. Hugs Emma
ReplyDeleteHello Christine. I too missed the die day but your blog is always interesting so thank you for keeping in touch every single day. This is a very handy craft space. Mine is rather spread out but I guess that does get me up and out of my chair from time to time! xxMargaretxx
ReplyDeleteSandra's craft room is one to aspire to. Very organised. Mine is rarely that!
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate Friday Die Day, but nothing in the crafty world needs to be set in stone. Change is good - keeps us on our toes. It's your blog after all and we are merely spectators.
Morning Christine, Yes I did look for Fiday's die day but also enjoyed your blog anyway :) ( I always do)Sandra you deserve a medal! So organised!

A well organised, crammed full of exciting things, craft room. Well done to Sandra for keeping it so neat and tidy. Have a good day/weekend. Janice xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing my craft room, I will let you into a secret, I did spend sometime tidying before I took the photos. The boxes on the windowsill are full of gemstones as I am a bit hooked on making jewellery at the moment, alongside my first love of card making of course!
Lesley I still have a draw full of folders of dies, but I try to keep the most used ones to hand!
The kittens love all ribbon and twine storage, I think they see it as a challenge, I keep finding bits of ribbon all over the house!
Mrs B, can't wait for our next coffee morning xx
Thank you all fir your lovely comments x
Can't believe anyone could send you an angry email Christine, you are the most giving, kind & caring person I know, you have continued to blog everyday for years, despite going on holiday and going through the one thing that any mum would dread with Elliott but you continued to blog regardless, for that you deserve a reward! I am grateful for your post everyday no matter what it is! Xx
Big hugs to all,
Sandra xxxxx

Afternoon Christine, Wow, Sandra has got a lovely craft room, lots of work space and lots or organisation. I love these craft space posts, I'm nosey hahaha, but it's great to see if there are storage tips that I can use in my craft room too. No matter how much space you have in your craft room, you never seem to have enough haha.
ReplyDeleteI was really sad to read that you got emails from peeps who were cross !!
Have a lovely weekend, we have had torrential rain here today and at times it has been coming down in 'stair-rods' and bright sunshine at the same time !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
lots of lovely items in this crafty space ,taking in all the ideas as I hope to get my own room next year [notice the hope ].Laura O
ReplyDeleteFab craft room pics from Sandra. Surely people couldn't send angry emails !!! We should be grateful you have the time to blog everyday for us as it is !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your craft space Sandre I love your 12x12 rack. Well I enjoyed your blog yesterday it was a great project. Enjoy your weekend x
