Joe's Mini Scrap Studio

Almost always we feature craft spaces that are designed and use by female crafters, so when I got this submission by Joe Gonzales I was static. Not only the space is lovely and useful but also rather masculine. I love the dark wood furniture, the displayed artwork, and all those lovely products close by and neatly organized.

Apologies

Hello all
Just wanted to apologize for the lack of postings lately. I have been feeling a bit poorly and working hard on my day job so it meant that on the evenings I had little energy or time to update the blog.
I hope you will understand. I am trying now to do as many posts as I can in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed I can keep up!

Thanks

Paula

Janet's ideas

I will let Janet explain her storage idea:

The first picture is storage I made to fit in a corner.  The trays are salad take out trays from Quizno's.  The structure is made of foam board covered with wrapping paper.  The top is a piece of fabric over polyfil.

I think is brilliant!

Heather's perfect die storage

Heather's perfect die storage

"The system I had was okay, but it wasn't the perfect solution - especially as my die collection grew. In not that long, my die collection was a mess. I couldn't find what I needed easily, finding a place to store my dies was a problem. So I kept on looking for and workng on a solution. I have finally found something that works for me! Let me share what I did as well as the process I used to sort and organise all the dies ..."

Angela's carry idea

I love this idea by Angela:

I wanted to share how I transport all my stuff to take with me to a crop!
 

I use the Sterilite wide 3 drawer units to hold various supplies (they hold 12”x12” paper) and label all the drawers (I keep the stuff stored in them at home as well).

Then 3 of these 3-drawer units fit into the Broadstone Camping Gear Bag I bought – with a little room at the top for a few misc supplies (like my small printer!).  The Camping bag is wheeled at one end and has sturdy handles at both ends.  It makes transporting my stuff as well as setting up a breeze!

The plastic drawer units I got at Walmart and the camping bag I got at Canadian Tire (Only $39.99).

It has worked well for me as I don’t have to unpack when I get to the crop – I just pull out the drawers and stack them on top of one another on the floor next to my table.
 

DIY Clip it up

What you need:

Dignitet curtain rings from Ikea

command hooks

and string

What you do: select a place were you would like to hang your clip it unit like a wall, the inside of a door etc.

Install the Command hooks as far appart as you want them and tie the string around them.
Clip your dignitet hooks to your supplies and hang from string.

Here's mine inside a door the width is about 36"
