BEFORE & AFTER

The nice clean look ..................

And in the words of
ELVIS ... It's All Filled Up .. a ah huh!

And same with the opposite wall!






What a lovely site to behold! Now I can dig in and get busy!!




And a shot of the closet .........



OK, It still needs some work ..... SERIOUSLY!
That's why I keep the doors closed!~
I've got to get it organized but I had to put stuff in there in a hurry so I could get to the desk top!! I've got things to do!! lol

MY CRAFT ROOM !

My dear husband and I finished up my craft room this past Saturday. Basically, I helped haul shelves and the desk top to the saw to be cut and then upstairs and he did all the measuring, cutting, nailing, caulking etc .....

I couldn't be more pleased with the end results!!
This is the right side of the room .............

And this is the left side of the room minus the embellishment center that will be along side the window (same as the the right side) .......... as soon as it comes in. I had to get a rain check on the 2nd embellishment center as the store was out of stock! :( Today the hubs is going to drill 3 hole in the top op the desk on each of the 3 sides. He will then put in a gromit so my machine cords can go down through the top of the desk.

Directly behind me is a closet that has shelving built in it and a short wall that I will be purchasing file cubicles for.............. eventually!
The space is fantastic!! I have all kinds of storage as well as counter top to work!
I love it but more importantly, ........ I love my man who makes it all possible!

Maybe I'll do a video when I get all my crafts put away!

Wishes do come true!!

Update on my craft room ...... My dear sweet husband and I had a friend (who made our kitchen cabinets, bathrooms cabinets and entertainment center) come over and look at the room and take measurements for my craft room desk. Its a fairly small room and granted the desk will go around on 3 walls but it's not HUGE! Anyway, he took measurements and gave us some ideas of what he would do and then said he would go home, work up the figures and then call us in a couple of days.

In the meantime, my dear sweet husband and I went to Lowes and bought all the materials for the shelving that he is going to put in my room. $400 dollars just for shelving!! WOW! We started Monday night after I got home from work and my hubby put in 4 long shelves in the empty closet. So now with the top shelf that was already there plus the storage space on the floor under the bottom shelf ...... I have a HUGE amount of storage space just in the closet itself.
NOW, he is going to put up shelves on the two long walls. 3 on each side. AWESOME!!

Then yesterday while I was at work, hubby called me and said our friend had just called with the "QUOTE" on the desk! GET THIS ..... $1100 BUCKS !! Just for the desk! He does a fabulous job but really ..... for my craft room ..... I don't think so!!
We both agreed that was Waaaayyy too much moola!! So I thought about what I wanted and together hubby and I came up with a solution!

I have 5 of the Jetmax cubicles. I always wait till I have a coupon or they go on sale and then I buy one or two. This is not my room but just some ideas of what we are going to do with my room.
I will purchase 7 more cubicles as they go on sale. Hubby will put a support piece of wood on the wall for the back of the desk and we will use the cubicles (2 deep) for support in the front.
He is going to purchase the top of the desk from Lowes and it will cost $75.00 dollars. After I get the cubicles (on sale of course) we will finish it up!

It will be similar to these three pictures but BETTER! I can't wait to post my own pictures!
AND THE BEST THING IS THAT IT WILL COST US AROUND $800.00 TOTAL! Sure beats $1100.00 that we would have paid JUST FOR THE DESK TOP!!!

I LOVE MY MAN!!!

FINALLY ... MY CRAFT ROOM IN THE MAKING !!!

I can't tell you how excited I am because I am finally getting the craft room
I ALWAYS WANTED!!
At 1st I was going to have it in the room I was already in but it is so small -------- so I asked my dear sweet wonderful husband if I could trade rooms with him (his office, my semi craft room) ------------
He suggested I take the guest bedroom and move the bed to my (already craft room!!) BRILLIANT!!

Last weekend he and I moved out all the STUFF in my room and took it to the back family room on the main floor. We called the kids and got rid of two bookcases, 2 closet cabinets and a huge desk!! Now all that is left is all my crafty things .........

This is the room I am going to use ..... My sweet hubby is going to build shelves in the closet for me ..... top to bottom .... lots of storage there!

Then he is going to build me shelves on the two big walls!! There is already one big shelf at the top (as you can see) but he will build me shelves under this one and on the wall opposite this wall. I want two storage cabinets (one on each side of the window. (I saw them at Michale's with the JetMax storage cabinets)

I'm salivating just thinking about it!! Finally a place to work comfortably and big enough where I won't have to take all my things down to the kitchen table!!

AND THEN ....... I am getting a desk built all around the room on 3 walls with plenty of storage under the desk and over the desk!
I can't hardly wait!
It may take a few months but I will post as the room progresses!

YAY!!!! sooooooo excited!!

Felted Flowers!

I saw something similar to this on line so I tried to make some. This picture is a bit dark but you can see the beads alot better than the following picture .....

which is toooooo BRIGHT!!


I've got tons of these cut out and ready to go ..........
Something to do in the car on my way to Utah this weekend.

Not sure what I'll use them for just yet. I'm thinking I can tie them into some lesson for the girls in Young Women's sometime in the near future!
We'll see! Until then, I'm having fun putting them together!
