Welcome to our Speed Round:
Craft Space Organization Challenge
For inspiration, sharing and support please join our Facebook group In My World: Craft Space Organization Challenge
This is my studio today . . .
It is the one room in our home that always seems to become a cluttered mess. As the clutter piles up it becomes harder and harder to find what I need. Same for you?
Today is the day to begin taking back your space so you can accomplish more and get more enjoyment out of your precious crafting time.
The problem with setting such a lofty goal . . . Cleaning My Craft Room . . . is that it is too big of a goal and there is no instant gratification. We have broken down the big lofty goal into 10 easier to attain goals and built in some rewards along the way. I am a big believer in gold stars and pats on the back. I think it is important to celebrate our successes.
The benefits of a Clean Craft Room are many.
* You’ll be able to enjoy your crafting time because you won’t spend the whole time looking for what you need. This also means you will get more accomplished.
* You’ll be able to save money because you won’t keep buying duplicates of the same products that you can’t find because they are buried somewhere under the mess.
* You won’t be embarrassed to have friends over to play.
* And, most important of all, you’ll be more creative and less stressed . . . and have control over your space.
These challenges were originally set up for scrapbookers but they work quite well for just about any type of crafter . . . which is a good thing for me. I did manage to kick my husband’s leatherworking station out of my space but my studio is still set up for my home businesses, paper crafting, quilting, stamp collecting, letterboxing, knitting and crochet, writing, genealogy, cross stitch, and tapestry. I need a system that works for ALL of my crafts.
The information in these challenges can help both new and veteran crafters to get organized. It doesn't matter if you are starting a new craft room or you need to dig out from the one you don’t recognize anymore, you are not alone. It doesn’t matter if your space is a room, the kitchen table, a designated part of a room, a closet, or a laundry basket.
