A little something New

My sister was right the other day when she
said my revamping my craft room would give me
more inspiration...
And like a cloud has been lifted... my mind is
filled with ideas.
While I was sitting at my desk I was thinking
about my blog and how to attract more followers.
And so COMING SOON I am bring to you a range
of free downloadable make & do crafting templates.

when working as an illustrator & designer I
also made up samples and created templates
for things like card kits,stationery,
paper decorations and fabric items.
So why not use the skills I have learn!x

A craft Room Re-vamp

I was visiting my sisters blog page the other day and
found her photos of her newly painted and rearanged
craft space and I realised I didnt really have a
craft room! just a desk in my living room.
I live in a very small flat and I have always been a
little crazy about keeping tidy and putting away
everything! after Ive finished making!
but its not easy staying inspired that way!x
So over the weekend I had a move round and made
my own craft space with glass pots and bowls filled
with embellishments,my artwork,ATCS,inspiration,
a Computer area and lots of space for more!...

So here is a photo montage for you to see too...

So now I am feeling super inspired!
Here is a photo of what I have been working on!x

I hope you like my crafting space! I DO x
