Happy Wednesday to you all. I still think they come round quicker than any other day of the week. Catch up with all the other
nosey curious likeminded folk
here
My patch on the floor looks like this today. Some more new stuff!! and a part done tag. After I did the tag for Linda's countdown to Ranger U
yesterday, I had a long piece of string covered in spray and I wondered whether I could make another background with it. Here I've used the craftynotions sprays - I left the string on the craft sheet, sprayed Quince and Luscious Green over it and pressed the tag onto it. It didn't come out quite like I thought so I added some more spray direct to the tag. Not sure what the next step is yet!!
If you've been by recently you'll have seen I've been "gradually" adding to my Tim Alterations die collection and I found this plastic box under the dining room table (don't ask!!) that I thought would do as a (probably temporary) storage for them. Just wish I had somewhere to store this box though! Right now it's just inside the living room door where I almost trip over it each time I come in or out...
To finish, I've got a shot of the cramped space I have to work at my computer.... that cushion is atop a plastic footstool that used to be in the kitchen and is what I crouch at the computer on.... until I regularly joined in WOYWW I used to kneel at the computer as well as when I craft on the floor but it got too much! You can make out all the
crap sorry, magazine storage, drawer units (full of embossing powders, glitter glues etc) under the table. One day, I will sort this room out....
Ok, I will be round to visit you all as soon as I can - it may take longer than normal cos a) I am very busy at work at the moment and don't think I'll be able to get round any desks even at lunchtime, and b) there's the last couple of
Linda's countdown tags to make (she's off to Ranger U - I am sure you hadn't heard, lol!!! and c) most importantly - there's football on!! I know lots of you hate it, but I don't, so my evenings are quite packed at present! See you around.

As usual plenty going on here. These alteration thingies of T!ms are addictive, I just keep buying more and more, lol.
ReplyDeleteYour craft table has quite the assortment of goodies. I really like the tags you've been making. I would NEVER be able to kneel at my computer, but always stand when I craft, except when sewing, of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you sorting the room. It looks like you have lots to go through. Happy WOYWW.
lots of pile it high, stuff itunder the desk going on here, and kneeling at the computer??? my knees are not what they used to be, so not sure I could manage that! Thank you for showing :)
ReplyDeletexx
I'm chuckling at your piles of storage under your desk....It would be just my luck to want the box on the bottom of the pile :-)

Thanks for the peep at your creative clutter, you've got a lot of interesting stuff in there!
ReplyDeleteNicki, xx
Wow thats a lot of stuff under your computer. Love the bright coloured acetate boxes under the desk.
ReplyDeleteElaine
Busy busy busy !How you can kneel to go on computer or craft i will never know mind my knees wouldnt take it for sure!
ReplyDeleteHave fab wednesday
hugs judex
Wow Wow you have lots of yummy stash and look at thos Tim dies, lovely. How do you work on your knees, I wouldn't be able to get back up again LOL. Have a good day, Tracy Evans x
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab selection of goodies you have there, under the desk too !
ReplyDeleteI think you need a clear out .. want some help ;P .. worth a try!
ReplyDeleteAll those die's look brilliant! Enjoy the footie!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, have a great day!

I do not know how you kneel for any time at all - you must get the most enormous blood rush when you stand! I love your whole series of tags, this green is particularly lovely. As for sorting out your room - you know where it all is right? Sorted then!
ReplyDeleteOh, that green bit in the first photo looks very interesting. Must try that string trick soon!
ReplyDeleteMary Anne
wow what a lovely selection of crafty stuff, how do you reach your comp?? luv all the tim holtz stash, have good day, sue,x
ReplyDeletefab tag, you need a fairy craft mtoher to wave her wand and give you twice as much space and storgae room, I can't see how you coudl rearrange that space and still have easy access to all that wondefful stuff.....clearly it is exactly as it needs to be already....
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of all your Tim Holtz dies! I have just bought a Big Shot but have no dies yet :(
ReplyDeleteI want to get the Tattered Flowers one (not sure if that is the right name!)
Great work space, trust me its bigger than mine!
Carly x
"gradually" LOL yeah, right!! Footie hasn't been that exciting so far I have to say, problems with the ball I think. Only Germany seem to have the hang of it so far, and that's because they have been playing with it in their league for the second half of the season.
ReplyDeleteWow a very busy desk and person there! Hope you are enjoying the footie, i am enjoying more time to craft as nothing alse on the telly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cramped space! I congratulate you on being able to work like that! Envy those dies!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Can't wait to see your next tag Helen I know it'll be gorgeous ;-) I see your little Sizzix tag die you got with the Big Shot!
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
ooo i would want to sort all that out but i know i would get waylaid within minutes and end up playing lol
ReplyDeleteyou must love football if you can abandon all that stuff...for even a minute :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen! Lots going on today - Love the look of your tag and your new goodies - I've just a few this week!! Love having a nosey round your crafting space - couldn't kneel to use the 'puter though, my old kness wouldn't let me!! Enjoy the footy. S x
ReplyDeleteoh lots of crafty goodness in here hun, you need some old kitchen units to get organised then you wouldn't be crafting on the floor lol.
ReplyDelete*hugs* Heather x
You know it is only cramped because you have tooo many things, I receive donations and would be glad to create space for you LOL!

Linbyx
Oh my word now that's my kind of space!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your tag and how creative you are!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe all the stash around your computer desk, I feel an oncoming need to have a rummage LOL!
Hi Helen, lots of lovely stash to go through,how exciting! Beautiful tags, just fabulous, hugs Heidi xx
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you at the Barn at the weekend Helen and I always look forward to seeing your desk/floor space, it just so interesting to see what you've been up to. You always have a project on the go....I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLin x
oh your tags are just fabulous and so's your crafty room!! It's bigger than mine and I'm sooo messy I CAN'T craft on the floor! I'd get lost! actually, no, once I'm down there, I can't get up! Have a crafty day!
ReplyDelete((Lyn))
Every time I see your stash I have to laugh out loud hun, there is so much to rummage thru, I am quite sure I would get lost LOL Loving the organised chaos look :O)) x
ReplyDeleteoh wow all those dies,hun gosh so much to look at fab work space,love hugs cheryl xxxx
ReplyDeleteEEEEK! How can you ever find anything? I bet you just buy more, right? Am too old to contemplate crafting on the floor myself but like what you did while you were down there ....
ReplyDeleteHelen - you make me laugh and cringe at the same time... How on earth do you create wonderful stuff in your craft shop, i mean place.... I recon you need to contact your local council and ask if they have any units for rent - so you can take your hobby and spread out a bit... when anyone comments on the stuff i've got - i always speak of you... you make me feel so humble and under stashed (if that makes sense)!!!! LOL
ReplyDeletehugs
Paula ... good job Health and safety don't have to inspect our domestic premises!!!
xxx
Love the colours on the tag. Must add those sprays to my must have list......
ReplyDeletewow what a bunch of stash you have. I need to build mine up!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG now not only does my back ache when I think of you crafting - my dodgy knee is now wincing at the thought of you on the 'puter :P
ReplyDeleteNot even done my WOYWW yet as OH has boogered off fishing and stolen my camera. Cheek!
Oh dear H-I quote from my favourite book "Rubber stamping beyond the basics" by Michele Abel."The only thing I can guarantee is that you will always need more room". I don't have a choice I have to craft in comfort now as the body won't take it any longer. By the way I haven't got the flowers---yet. Hugs BettyXXX
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit your space it makes me smile - It's amazing how much stash you have.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the effect of the background on the tag. The colours are lovely!
xx
Love your chaos as usual :) Although I could possibly kneel for a while my back would never let me get back up from the floor!!! LOL
ReplyDeletexoxo Sioux
Crikey, woman. Don't know how you find space to work! But that tag is looking good so far. And yes, aren't those dies addicting?
ReplyDeletein the south we say "Bless your heart" you are really cramped.... thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBless you! Your art work is amazing xx
ReplyDeleteHi Helen...LOVE the snoop and WOW...you have a lovely scraproom. I want to come and have a rummage. *Ü* I too enjoy watching the football but I am being irritated by the noise! I'll suffer it to watch England play on Friday. TFS. ~Glen~
ReplyDeleteWow - what a load of stuff, Helen. I would love to have a good nosey through it all!!
ReplyDeleteJulie :o)
That box of Tim Holtz goodies looks particularly luscious :-D
ReplyDeleteFab collection of Sir Timmie stuff.
ReplyDeletewow your crafty space looks so much fun could spend hours looking through all your stash!! So jealous of all Tim's alterations!!! thanks for sharing Chanelle xx
ReplyDeleteI wish I was a fairy godmother, then I'd wave my magic wand for you and you'd have all the storage and space you need.
ReplyDeletea very creative area!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the things you make with all that lovely stuff!!
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a better thing to trip over as you go in or out of your living room!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment - yes he was a huge LFC fan, you can guess what music we had too!
Enjoy the footie. x
It's amazing how many of us manage to craft in the tiniest/cramped spaces!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the next few weeks of footie! x
oh Helen...you have so many goodies packed into this wonderful space! I always tell my short daughter...good things come in small packages...or in this case---small places!
ReplyDeleteLooks as though there's some lovely stuff lurking under your computer table. Wouldn't envy you sorting through it though - been there, done that, etc.,etc. I think if I had to kneel to craft that would be the end of my addiction, Lol! The old knees aren't up to it anymore. I have to admire your tenacity.
ReplyDeleteLove the tags you've been making along with Linda.
