The monster I created.

The other day I was trying to organize my craft room. It used to be my dining room now it is our library/ craft room/ study room.

I needed a place to store my ribbons. I have so many spools and I thought maybe I could hang a rod on the wall and store them there. My DH (he is wonderful) made a big fuss about making holes on the wall and what rod to get and blah blah blah.

I realized it was going to be a big problem and I would have to wait a while before I got my storage solution. So... I just put my brain to work and came up with this.





I used an old bulky piece of Styrofoam I had in my closet where I store my boxes and shipping supplies. I covered it with a piece of fabric and stuck some bamboo kabob sticks in it. Then I organized my spools by type and size. To finish it up I covered it up with another piece of fabric to keep it safe from the dust.

There is a saying in Brazil that says "If you don't have a dog to hunt with, you hunt with a cat." Can you translate that into an English saying??

Now, it may not look the best but solved my storage problem. :) Hey, the day my studio looks like something out of a magazine, it will probably BE in a magazine. LOL

Next week, I will try to share some photos of my Studio. You might remember my husband made me a new table. You can see the Before pictures here.

Thanks for stopping by,

My New Scraproom or should I say Studio?

I have been for a long time waiting on my husband to allow me to transform the dining room that we don't use, into my official Scrap room or Studio. Well, he finally gave in, and not only that, he is building from scratch the room I wanted. :)

Here are some BEFORE pictures for you to see where I have spent my time Creating Treasures.



This is my dining room table. Behind it, against the wall there was a china cabinet that is already gone. As you turn left and left you see the other photos and the place where I stock my tools, embellishments, flowers and ready items.





Below you will see my husband at work: building my new table from scratch and the finished result. No, he does not have a wood shop. He used our drive way to build my table.





I had no clue that my husband had such awesome carpentry skills. I am so happy and so thankful. After he finished the table I convinced him of putting a shelf on the wall for me and I am hoping that one shelf will turn into 2. Little by little I am taking ground. :)

Next week I will share the final results with the table and shelves in the room!! Can't wait!

Thanks for looking
