It was time for a clean-up of my craft corner – look how messy my desk had become! Crafty stuff everywhere – I was getting stressed every time I looked at it or tried to find anything!
So I cleared everything off my desk and the bookshelves and started from scratch. I have a desk, and two bookcases which I use like hutches. All of these were thrifted from the side of the road in our local council pick-up (which my husband loves to do!)
I packed away all my finished items for my Etsy store, and put all my crafty supplies onto the white bookcase. As you can see, we really like Bonne Maman jam at our house – they make the cutest button jars!
On this shelf I have covered various glass jars with washi tape, floral fabric and crocheted covers. The plastic tubs on the right used to house strawberries, but now they have been prettied-up with washie tape and labels and hold various bits and pieces.
Those two brown letter holders on the left of my desk were garage sale finds, and hold my sticky notes and stickers for decorating my Cath Kidston diary. However, you can just see my old (1980’s) Filofax poking into the bottom of the photo. I intend to make a pretty cover for it and resurrect it to use for planning my life, as my diary is just too small now!
Anyhoo, now I feel crafty every time I look at my desk! What will I make next?
Till next time,
Michelle

Wow looks great! And some fun ideas for organizing in there as well!
Wow! It looks great Michelle! I’ve been working on my reorganization for the past month and I’m almost done. 🙂
Thanks, Stacy.
I’d love to see your craft area when you’re finished!
