Hi there.
Sandy here.
Welcome to another Friday Findings video at my YouTube channel and my blog.
Today I have something a little bit different for you than my usual Friday Findings where
I show you how to use different jewelry supplies.
Today I'm going to give you a tour of my studio.
So we'll start here at the window of my studio.
I'm filming this in February of 2016 and last year in February of 2015 that fence was filled
nearly to the top with snow.
Oh, I'm so happy not to see that today!
Here's my wonderful iron, that's my steam generated iron and the ironing board is covered
with blankies because the cats often hang out with me here.
In fact, they get quite put out when I actually have to iron something.
Here are my two trusty sewing machines, my sewing machine and my serger.
I haven't been doing a lot of sewing lately so I keep them covered just to keep them dust
free and then the pile of books are just some books I'm working through.
Pictures of my kids when they were little.
Some organizing.
My laptop goes here when I'm not sewing.
If I'm sewing it has to go elsewhere.
Over here is a lot of my bead storage.
I store just about every material in my studio by color.
So blues, purples because that's how I look for them and up above the sewing machines
I've got a bunch of scrapbooking paper and my cabinets.
We got these on Craigslist.
My husband painted them and added the crown molding.
I've got some thread stored over here.
See, all by color and then these are just specialty ones and then down here I have these
wonderful pull out drawers.
Actually I picked one up at Costco one day when they had them, came home, filled up one,
hopped in my car, drove back and got the second one.
Now this is the best thing ever!
This is my magnifying lamp and so much of my work I could not do without it.
It is just the most wonderful thing.
It magnifies things and makes the light great.
This is my work table.
It's actually an old kitchen table that we bought when we were first married, oh so many
years ago.
And then that six box organizer I think I found at Job Lot.
My husband added a couple of the smaller shelves for me and then there's my Tim Holtz Distress
ink storage and for some decoration one of my quilts, which was actually never finished,
but I love the purple and green colors.
Oh yeah, the border I added when we first moved into the house and I made the room my
own and also of course my sponged on purple paint, the only room in the house the hubby
will allow to be painted purple.
So I'll go into some more detail about the organizers and things in another video.
Over in this corner is kind of a cool organizer that I think I found at AC Moore.
A couple of my dragon wall pieces.
So I've got a lot of crafting supplies hanging there.
This piece however is my absolute favorite.
This is the newest.
This is a book case that my husband built for me.
He's a custom cabinet maker and so he built this to my exact specifications although it
was his idea to add the crown molding, which I didn't think was necessary, but here's a
picture I took of it before the crown.
It does make a difference, it's the crowning touch.
And what I love about this cabinet is that I can have everything organized, but it still
looks beautiful.
So I've got all these boxes that I got at Michael's and they all have a different type
of supply in them and I'll go into more detail in that in another video.
Over here I have magazines.
They're just in organizers from Ikea that I covered with paper.
This is probably the messiest bit.
It's just some scrapbooking papers and then on this wall I have some decorations, just
some things that make me happy.
Again I'll tell you more about them in another video.
CDs although we don't get much of our music on CD anymore.
A whole assortment of my dragons that I made in 2015, one every week
and this pile of quilts and garments that needs to be addressed.
So that kind of gives you an overview of my creative space.
I like it to look beautiful, but be organized and I like to have creative things that either
I made or somebody else made all around me.
So I hope you've enjoyed this craft room studio tour.
I'll give you some more detail in another video.
