    julie i am so jealous! I have my crafting things in a box in the corner of the dining room. even if I had lots of storage i am not sure where I would put it! I think I might take over the playroom:rotfl:

    Oh julie I'd live in there. It's pretty and fresh and so organised and neat.

    I have a spare room which was my craft room but it's turned into a junk room at the mo, it badly needs redecorating but every thing is everywhere. I'm working at the kitchen table at the mo and keep having to move things. Why do men have to keep eating LOL

    I think the biggest problem would be keeping warm as I couldn't move much in thermals, coat, gloves and hat etc!
    I would have to use an extension lead too but my main concern is, when I get gardening tools out of the shed it always has that musty damp smell, you couldn't make gifts for people from damp smelling supplies. hmmm perhaps if the shed were lined out with mdf or that kinda floppy board?! then I suppose you could encase a layer of loft insulation or polystyrene to keep it warmer......
    The floor I assume could be lino so it was easy clean as our garden gets mucky

    I do my crafty things in the living room sitting on the sofa or floor and using the coffee table if I need a flat surface. Also use the dining table in the kitchen.

    I really need to have a huge sort out of all my stuff as I have paper, cards, fabric and loads of other stuff all over the place and I can never find what I am looking for. I think seeing Julie's gorgeous room is going to spur me on to sort my mess out and get organised as I'm sure I'd be able to do more if I could find everything quicker :D

    That's what I was thinking, I wonder if DH would buy me a shed for my birthday???? that gives me 7 months to work out if it is feasible to convert it cheaply!

    My craft stuff is kept in my den/computer room but to do or make anything I have to take over the whole of the kitchen table :rotfl: Takes an age to ferry things from one place to another then back again:rolleyes:

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    I'm lucky to have a study which I also use to store all my crafty bits. I tend to take them all into the dining room as I keep an eye on my children at the same time.
    Heres a piccie but its very messy at the time:

    Just had a look at your blog and its great! Your items are lovely as is your craft room the colours are so pretty.

    I notice on your blog you say that people are selling similar things on ebay to yours - have they been copying?? If so thats awful, its a shame when things like that happen, especially with original work :mad:

    I`m reluctant to post pics of thing on line for the same reason.
