If I Just Had a Place to Put All of This STUFF!

I've never really had a good place to keep all of crafting supplies. Most of the time I have stuff all over the house! I have dreamed of having my own space, that I can decorate, furnish and create in, that doesn't have to be cleaned up every time I have to leave my "little space of crafting paradise". But alas, this is not the case.  This weekend I got upset with the mess and decided it was time to clean up. I love to work on projects in the evening while "the boys" watch TV, etc. so, of course I have to keep things close by - I wouldn't want to have to get up and go get something, for pity sake!   Can't believe I'm actually going to show you my "before" picture...
See what I mean!  What a mess, no wonder I couldn't get anything finished. So I started, sorting, tossing and rearranging, and now I at least have a presentable space to store my bits and pieces and work on my current projects. It's not perfect...but I'm not too embarrassed by it now. I hope that some day soon I can get our basement cleaned up so I have a much bigger place to have all of my wonderful crafts. What type of space do you have to do your crafting?

Broomstick crochet

Well my early blogging education is a bit of trial by fire.  I was trying to pin the the broomstick lace on Pinterest and ended up with it on my blog.  It's a great tutorial just not mine.

Online Blog Con 2012

I am so excited to be "attending" the 2012 "Online Blog Con".  Being a brand new blogger this has come at the perfect time for me.  My family and friends keep telling me I'm over analyzing this blogging business too much and I should just go for it.  That's difficult for me.  I want it to be right from the beginning.  So, I'm soaking up all the knowledge I can from some long time, successful bloggers.  I hope that one day soon, I will be joining their ranks.  I'm not so afraid of content because I will be blogging about things I love....it's the technical stuff that has me running in circles.  But I am fully confident that it is not too late to teach an "ole dog" new tricks.
