Craft Nook


I have been wanting to create a craft space since we moved into our house about 18 months ago. Almost all my craft supplies have been stored in our storage/shipping container out of sight and out of mind for that entire time. Digging it out and sorting through it all was a bit of a mission, but I have done it - sorted, purged, put away, stacked and labelled. 
Now the craft nook is not the prettiest space, I have not invested in pretty office furniture or storage. I have used pretty much what I already (apart from the compartment organiser boxes) which I bought on sake at Briscores with a gift voucher I got a Christmas.  There are no windows to gaze out of and I have to share the space with our Dog 's sleeping crate (believe me I tried to find another space to move it), but it is the only space available and I am quite excited to be claiming it as my own. There are some pluses to the space, it is somewhat of a dead end, so it is not a space that kids are running through and I can kind of hideaway from everyone and everything to work on my craft projects.
My only concern is, this space is probably at its full capacity and doesn't allow me to introduce new supplies or projects.  This does mean however that in order to start new projects I must commit to finishing my current projects which I am fine with. This year is going to be all about getting things done and if I need to set myself up for success.
One final thing I'd like to do to improve the space for now is to sew a cover to hide up the dog crate.  Ultimately a peg board wall and/or a painted chalkboard wall would be awesome but for now it's just fine.
