Title: Before and After - Part 1 - Jan. 17 to Jan. 22
Post by: Craft Nerd on January 17, 2016, 08:13:00 PM

This is mostly just for fun.  Post a picture of your craft space before Winterfest starts.  I plan on cleaning up my space tomorrow and then posting a picture.

Spoiler alert - part 2 will be posting an after photo and part 3 will be a hangover week challenge.

Hooray!  I need a kick to get in my craft space!  I just told DH tonight that making a small dent in there is on my list for tomorrow.  Oooh, you want a picture?  haha!  I can hardly walk in there.  It became a place to stash and dash before Christmas.  Thanks for the challenge!

I will try to take a photo tomorrow.  I have gotten better at cleaning up as I go along, but you never know!

Although the cabinet is really full, it is nice and clean for me.  I also do not have anything lying in nearby areas right now.  That will probably change as I start working on the other warm ups.

Great spaces, Heidi and April.   

I finally finished cleaning my space last night.  Now I just need to upload the pictures.

Everyone's spaces look great! So nice and tidy. It will be fun to see the aftermath of the winterfest storm!

No craft space for me, we have this closet that is just sort of awkward next to our kitchen so I keep all of my paper crafting things in it. I craft at the kitchen table, somehow with an empty table by the time I'm done I only have about 4 inches of space in working at.

Here's my pic- it's usually pretty tidy just because I don't have much room. Plus I just did a good clean up if it a week or so ago

It is kind of nice to see a photo of where the AInksters work.  Hopefully these spaces will get a lot of use very soon!

I just realized after looking at other people's craft areas, I do not have a garbage can near mine! Lol.  I sometimes bring one over, but usually I don't have one because it isn't a good spot to keep it usually.  Probably not a good idea!

So fun seeing everyone's creative spaces!

Heidi, I don't have a trash can in my picture but I do have one that I keep out in the garage that I bring out when I work. I think I got it at the dollar store and it was one of the best investment!

And Sadie, I laughed at your comment because I messed forever with that picture! Somehow when I cropped the 2 pictures together it curved parts of it! I learned my lesson a few years ago when I had a shelf fall!

Great craft spaces ladies.

And no, I don't time myself when I craft.  The timer migrated into my craft space for one of Jan's warm-up challenges and never migrated back to the kitchen.  Which worked out well, since I used it for Jan's warm-up challenge tonight.

Here is my before pic of my desk. Not a big space since moving but it works for me. I also have a tall bookshelf full of stuff and one of those 9 drawer rolly carts.

This thread has me cleaning up with every project.  That is not normal for me!
