Now I didn’t make many samples but I could have, easily, I just ran out of time. I had brought some craft gear downstairs into my Conservatory so I could craft in-between jobs, or cups of tea or whenever. The conservatory is the lightest part of the house and my favourite place in Winter because it is so bright and gets Sunshine a lot, for Winter! .But its a matter of weeks before my Kitchen gets fitted, three in fact so I thought I had best start moving all my Craft stuff Back upstairs.

Well – I couldn’t believe the state of my Craft Room when I went to put everything back in it. I hadn’t been in it for a while but thought it was left quite empty – ish as most of my main craft items had ended up downstairs!! But no, it was full of goodness knows what. Well full of storage boxes, bags, bins etc which made it look really impossible to fit it all back in it!

However, when I re-tidied all my Ikea Drawers and chucked out all those bits and bobs that you keep for ever, and Gel Prints that I just would never use, and re-sorted all my pens and pencils and cutting mats (5 cutting/scoring boards, and I had just got rid of 2 already) – well by the time I did that I had a few spaces EMPTY!!! YES I SAID I ACTUALLY HAD SOME EMPTY DRAWERS!!

Well an empty drawer is a Crafters dream! We have so many things we want to put in them, don’t we? So I emptied all the bins, and bags and storage boxes and it turns out there wasn’t that much in them really. So, it was the Storage itself that was taking up all the space. Its now back in the conservatory ready to store things from my Kitchen when I unpack my cupboards.

So do you want to know what I keep in my Drawers???? I will tell you in my next Blog. In the past yearsI have made many videos and taken pictures on how to clear out and arrange your craft room but have never posted them. I brought in my 4 years Interior Design teachings at College and made a careful drawing with measurements etc several years ago and you know what, it’s starting to make a difference. So just to keep myself busy, and to keep myself organised I will do a blog section just for this if you are interested it would be great, if not I will just be talking to myself and I do that a lot anyway!!!

My life hasn’t changed, I am still grieving, I am still having to check that the Bladder Cancer doesn’t come back and I am still suffering with my newly found Arthritis in my Knee, I wish someone would tell my Right knee that it doesn’t have Arthritis, because it keeps coming out in sympathy with my left Knee! The Dr refuses to see me and discuss it, it was the Receptionist at the Dr’s who read out my Xray results to me!!!! When I complained about this the Dr called her His Assistant – which is bollocks, she is a Receptionist. Anyway he gave me some loopy pills which I refuse to take.

So, in order to cope with what’s in my head, I need to keep busy with my Hands. Thank goodness for Crafting and messy Craft Rooms Eh!!! So watch this space, or don’t!

I hope you like my Clarity DT Samples. Did you watch the shows, Are you watching the shows today? Now the right questions depends on what time I post this blog – pre-written for the first time ever!! Blogs take so long I rarely get them out at the right time for the samples shown, so my new way of Blogging is to Pre-blog.

Thank you for popping by. – Please Follow my Blog, Like or comment, or NOT? – its up to you.
