Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone. I have been busy this morning sorting dates & subject for workshops at the craft shop for November.  At the moment the workshops are not booking too well other than for the crochet. This makes it difficult to work out what workshops to put on.  Never mind - we soldier on! I said the other day that I would show you the latest stage in sorting the craft room so here are two photographs of the bedroom end of the room.  I took 2 more looking down towards the window & my desks - but they were rubbish photos - so will take them again today. the bed all made up to look like a settee. the bookcase & trolleys on he other side of the room looking back at the door to the lounge. Today & the next couple of days we are having new cupboard fronts fitted to our kitchen units plus a new cooker. There is a hold up with the cooker, as the one we wanted doesn't come in white anymore, so we have had to choose another one & th...

So! the bed is in place & the drawers underneath have today been filled - one drawer with all the packs of birthday & Christmas cards I have received over the years & there are still more hiding somewhere else.  The second drawer is holding boxes of photos - that is packs of photos - you know before digital cameras! There is also the fourth bookcase that I wanted to put in the craft room - actually in the room - alongside the bed - so that needs a bedside lamp as I know my brother likes to read when he goes to bed. The many boxes I have things in are being resorted & sorted out as well.  It looks like my little radio/CD player has given up the ghost but I will check it out again with Bob.  It wasn't very expensive so can easily be replaced. So this is how the room has looked for a couple of days; This is the working end looking from the lounge door with the boxes moved down the room to allow access to put the bed up. In the bottom left corne...

.. continues. Today I tidied the boxes that I had just popped onto my new large bookcase.  Each one was opened & the contents checked, then it was labelled. Occasionally I found 2 boxes contained similar items - just shows how slapdash i had got about putting things away.  So the items were put together & a box was made available for something else.  If there isn't a label on the box - or there is but it doesn't have anything written on it - then it is empty. I have 2 large boxes & one small box full of ribbon; a couple with 6x6 papers in; others with tags & different sized pieces of card (they are smaller than A5); 2 boxes with club raffle & Show&Tell prizes in, & others. Here are some photos to show you how it's looking now; the view as you step down into the room looking towards the window & my crafting desk bookcase to right of my desk new big bookcase bookcase to the side of my computer desk w...

Good morning & isn't it great that this weather is continuing.  Everyone looks so much better for it & people smile when passing you.  The sun certainly makes for a happier place. Well some more boxes disappeared from the craft room yesterday afternoon, & of those left Bob managed to manipulate them so that I could get at one of my bookcases. He also succeeded in revealing my desk - well most of it.  Surprise, surprise the removal men had not taken the things out of the drawers - so some of the things I needed to find are basically where I left them,.  So that is good. Here is what we are looking like now - well the room - not us. Looking from the lounge into the craft room - there is my bookcase with things on it now & next to it my old desk.  As you can see - things have just been dumped on both - but the boxes are gone. View from my desk back to the lounge door.  The items piled really high are cane shelves which fit...

... well, that is still a bit of a stretch of the imagination -but a big improvement. I managed to clear 2 more boxes today - mind you the contents are stacked on top of each other now on trolleys etc.  But once I can get the boxes out the way - I can get to the bookcases & the desk & put more away. Here are the latest views; so, as you step down into the craft room from the lounge - not a lot of difference. this is the view towards the window now - a layer of boxes has gone - I no longer have to squeeze down a narrow aisle, although it still is a bit of a squeeze. Same view - different. Yesterday I found the big zip-up folder with my embossing folders in - still need to find the E-bosser. It's going to be in the last one isn't it? We have started getting visited by birds in the garden now - they have realised that someone is putting out food & a bath.  I just missed taking a photo of a blackbird having a bath today.  I had bee...

............................. here it is The chopped photo is not my bad photography skills - but I didn't want the registration number on show. Not bad aye? I think I mentioned sometime about my new craft room & how long it is likely to take me to sort it ... here is the reason why. ah well - maybe by Christmas Off now to get ready for the Mold II meeting.
