sometimes you stumble on things that make you smile

It was just the smile I needed today.*

Welcome


to my new craft room, in my new house.  Hallelujah!  Finally the Whizzme clan are enjoying extra space, gardening, shady trees, new discoveries.  I'm not enjoying the frigging mess that now can be spread further in a bigger house by everyone else in the clan, however, the smiles on all our faces, including Wally the wonder dog is worth it.  (Well, nearly!).  


At this stage only a third of the packing is done, and here you can see the real state of my craft space! 
But at the moment the joy of having a room all of my own (I'm trying to ignore the boxes of shed stuff waiting for the shed to be built) means I can take my time about sorting out what will go where.  Funnily having this room has in fact made me more disorganised (if that is possible) as I unearth half finished projects and recommence, but then get side tracked with reorganising the magazines, to only find a project I had bookmarked to do, so I set off on a hunt for materials which leads to forgotten treasures being discovered, which...  The problem has reached a crisis point and with only five nights(5 nights!!) left to finish school Christmas presents I have decided to have a very stern word with myself and plan this weeks crafting. 

Hmm, I'll let you know how it goes...
