Iris storage ideas

If you want to really see how tidy and organized a studio can be, please waste no time and visit Iris blog post here.

Two submission requests

Here at Crafty Storage we get a lot of submissions of very clever crafters. But we know that many of our readers -if not everyone of them- have great ideas but often don't find the time, courage or energy to submit their ideas.
Please, submit them, no matter how small or how big the idea or the studio is, because we know that our readers are varied some of them with smaller or bigger that yours and we can all do with a bit more of inspiration on how to tidy and organize our creative spaces.

Anyway, sometimes we get too requests for ideas. And recently I got questions like do you have any ideas on how to store:

- mailing materials (empty packing boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper...)
- crafty stuff on the go (for those who dont have a dedicated room or like to go to crops...)

So if you have ideas regarding those two themes (or anything else) please send us an email.

Deb Harter's craft room is so organised

She incorporates so much in there, papercrafting, sewing, knitting ...

Tabitha's Crafting area

Tabitha has a very pretty crafting area, I know you'll agree


Its quite a small space only 12 x 12, with a few original storage ideas.


And a few we've seen before, but co-ordinate beautifully with her colour scheme


Take a look here at Tabitha's full blog post about her craft room.

Apologies for the lack of posts

The last few weeks have been really crazy in terms of work, so it has meant that the blog has taken a bit of a break.
I do have quite a few entries to go through, which I will do this week. But, please, keep them coming.

A quick one today

For Cricut lovers this Artbin storage box seems to be perfect.

LeAnn's crafty organizational ideas

There are plenty of studio and storage ideas here on the Crafty Storage blog, so I'm always excited when we have some different ideas to share. Today we have some cool ideas from LeAnn over at Silly LeAnn Designs.

Check out how LeAnn keeps track of her stamp sets:

Saphira's stamps idea

While it is not the new, it is alway good to refresh an idea that has previously been done, specially with some alterations. I really recommend visiting Saphira's (aka Liane from Munich) entry to see the step by step process.

A non storage post, but crafty non the less

So, one of my UK crafty friends, Kirsty Wiseman, is organizing this amazing crafty raffle to save the life of a dog that belongs to another crafty friend of ours. 

Huge crafty Raffle - Saving DaisyThis is a raffle so huge, that by the time I have collated all the prizes, you need never buy a single craft item ever again, well....barely! Tell your friends, tell your family, raid the kids money box.......please, please find it in your hearts (and paypalaccounts) to help raise money for Daisy Dog.

As a animal lover myself, I ask you to please go to Kirsty's blog and make a donation so that you can save a dog's life and maybe win some craft goodies!

Sharon's basement workshop!

I will let Sharon explain: 

It has evolved over the past 8 years going from an unfinished part of the basement.  As a Christmas gift my husband built this room with recessed lights, built in shelves, tile flooring and a window to look into the other side of the basement where we set up a playroom for the kids.  Now the kids are teens with my 16 yr old son's bedroom is next to my workshop, so I am not allowed to open the shades. :o)I just finished the most recent Purging, Organizing, Storing set up last month.  I love my room now.  Everything I used on a daily basis is within arm's reach.  I would live here if I could.

Susan's custom crafting table

The table is at the heart of any craft room, and many of us have spent days, months, or even years searching for the perfect one. Susan over at Cards, Quilts, and Kittys took matters into her own hands - and came up with a custom table that suits her needs perfectly!

There are many more great elements to Susan's craft room. Here's a photo of the entire room:

One of my favourite pieces is the antique dental cabinet (on the far left) that houses her wood-mounted stamps. When she purchased it from an antiques market, it was LIME green!
