just wanted to say I really appreciate you going through exactly why organisational solutions you'd previously implemented aren't working or need to be tweaked. Most of the time people treat organisation like a before and a perfectly aesthetic after, like before it was a mess and now it's perfect. When in my experience organisation is a system that needs to be actually functional and can always be tweaked and improved as you use a space and determine if it works or not. And often needs to be when we try things that don't work or our needs change.
Love that hutch!
thank you for taking us along on this journey! I'm excited to see your vision come to life. Also, I'm taking notes for my future crafting space.
I don't think the hutch is that out of place. But the hutch being too big for the space actually accentuates the maximalist grandma vibes, it reminds me of the apartments lot of single elder ladies live in after they downsized but held on to a few belived pieces furniture that used to belong into a bigger house, and now the proportions are a little off. Like some kind of dollhouse effect ♥
I LOVE this, thank you!
I love that kitty knew you were frustrated and needed a cuddle.
Nice surprise to know I’ve been here since the beginning. Love the hutch.
Yikes! I really need to do this too! But I'd rather watch you!
😅 I don't blame you
So excited for you! LOVE the hutch, and looking forward to seeing more videos in this series! 😍
Oh boy that old bookcase looked so flimsy when you lifted it down the stairs! I'm glad you have a sturdier (and much prettier!) bookcase to replace it. I'm looking forward to the second half of the reorganisation!
I love this video. I’m subscribed, but I think I last saw your craft room when you first organized! It is inspiring me to organize my room this summer :)
Have you considered putting your yarn cubes on the wall where your chair currently is and then move the new bookshelf to the space behind your closet door? You might find that would open up your beautiful window area, create a focus area for podcasting with the yarn wall, and give you a better placement of your chair near the window for more natural light. Just a thought! Love me some reorganizing!
I don’t know if this will help, but for years now what I have done is to buy 5 different fabric needle holders (that have pockets and roll up and tie together) and I keep the size 1-9 in one, 10-13 in another, 15-17 in the next, 16-inch circs in one, and finally, double points in their own case. They all fit comfortably in one basket.
Yay can’t wait until the next one!!!
….can’t wait 👏
Thanks!
Thank you, Jet ❤️
My craft room is also my bedroom, my parent's storage room and also houses my mom's treadmill 😅
There's a name for us ? 😂 Been working on my craft room 2 weeks ! Im in the same quandary I need better storage. My bookshelf is overloaded . Im putting lacd weight and #1 on the upper shelf in my clothes closet.Then I need industrial shelves for my quilting stuff. That will leave the closet for #3-5 wt. I have a foldup table to work on in the middle. I think a press pad will leave the ironing board behind the door. It takes a lot of thinking thru unless I can get a cupboard in the living room . 🎉
So happy you are back !! If you go to Rhinebeck, I hope to meet you !
Tip : I have some weird anxiety about putting something on my walls )… it is a commitment issue)….But I have NO problem tapping a small nail into my book shelf and THAT is what I hung my circular needle organizer on !
I'm excited to see your books. I need to get a couple more heavy duty bookshelves so I can do the same. I have knitting, crochet, and weaving books and they have outgrown my 4 bookcase by a lot. Part of me looks at what you are doing and thinks, I'd be moving the yarn cubes and everything lmao. My boss was showing off how we are organizing a booth we are vending at, and she had made to scale pieces for a few of our large thing so we could space them out and make sure there was space around the outside, etc. So I would totally be there with graph paper and little pieces representing various shelves and chairs scooting everything around.
I feel like you could do the same grid concept for your fixed circulars but do it on the side of your wire shelving that your yarn is stored in.
If you get another over the door bracket, you will be able to hang the metal frame for your needles on it , theu will look good hanging, all together.
Stash busting series ?
Maybe someday!
the hutch is beautiful, what a find! i don't know if you ever used the website craftster back in the day but there was a thread where people shared before and after photos of organising and cleaning up their craft spaces and it was so satisfying to see. this video is taking me back to that thread.
It would be great to have somewhere like that. I’ve seen two craft rooms that had such great ideas and now I can’t find them. That would be a great website to have now.
I love that new piece you got. I wonder if you put the bookshelf against the wall where the chair is now and tuck your chair between the two pieces?… would that work ?
Where did you get the sewing machine cover with Simplicity on it?
Joann, years ago though
@@the_copycat_stitch I saw it on Amazon but they weren’t available. I might have to check again. I love it.
