What a mess!

I took the day off work yesterday to tidy my craft shed. I have mentioned before it gets very cold in winter and I needed to make sure everything that might get affected by it being a bit damp was put away safe and sound. I know some of my earliest posts gave the impression I am an unnaturally tidy crafter - so not true - this is what faced me and this is only one of my three work surfaces!!!


Once I had cleared all this debris, this picture shows evidence of a serious misdemenour - I had all these stamps to clean that I had left inky - how naughty am I? This is after they were cleaned - it took ages and was very boring - serves me right!


This was when I finally finished and there wasn't really any time to do any crafting!! 



So here is a card I made some time ago using Papermania paper, a postcard from a Tim Holtz paper, a German Scrap pen nib, a Prima hydrangea and a sentiment stamped from a favourite Penny Black stamp on a nestie shape

  3. That's a job well done - I bet you feel good now. Fancy having three working areas to keep tidy - I struggle keeping one tidy but I must say I do try to clean up my stamps as I go along!!

  4. Thank you for your comment on my blog post Elaine, it's very much appreciated. Gosh, was it really only a week ago that we were all together? I loved it and it was so great to meet you at long last, thank you for bringing your fabulous inky backgrounds to show me... stunning! I've just been having a look at those stamps you've been cleaning, there are some very interesting images - you obviously have superb taste, there's a few I will have to add to my list!
