Day 10 - 

Personal or Business Blogging: Be inspired by a great quote!  You could share a quote from someone famous or someone less-than-famous (like your kid, spouse, neighbor, or friend).  Quote inspired posts can be inspirational and motivational, funny or sarcastic.There are quotes for every mood and theme. 

Hiya crafty friends,

When I read today challenge I have to admit it was a bit of a puzzler, as I have to admit all my favourite quotes are from Monty Python films/sketches...lol! And as a crafter there is not much I could do with them :) So, I went on a hunt for quotes on the internet and I came across the quote below and it instantly touched me and seemed to echo what I am trying to do at the moment with my fight to conquer my Social Phobia. I am going to use it as a future affirmation, and I may even print it out and frame it..

With this quote as inspiration, this is the craft project I have come up with...

DAY 9 Today challenge - "Behind the Scenes" 

Hiya crafty friends,

Well, I have to be totally honest with you and confess that my craft 'behind the scenes' is quite messy at the moment (a total mess is closer to the mark really) as my craft space is also know as my...bedroom...lol, and I would be totally ashamed to share with you how it looks, so with this in mind I'd like to share with you my future 'Craft Space' behind the scenes. As I am very lucky that my fantastic dad and brother are building one this summer....yay...so excited!!!

I thought I'd share with you some of the ideas I have come across whilst searching for inspiration on the internet. There are some truely wonderful craft rooms out there, in which I'd give my high teeth for, but obviously they are waaaaaaay beyond my price budget, but you can still get inspiration, ideas and looks from them.

As the key word to my craft room will be 'Organised', here are some of the ideas I would like to incorporate into my finished craft room to hopefully achieve this.

I would like everything to have a home, so I know exactly were I can find something I want when I want it, but no-one said that storage can't be pretty, did they :) I love the Shabby Chic look of this spice rack (right) that has been decorated to become a button storage unit and you can never have too many jars when it comes to craft storage (below)





And carrying on the with Shabby Chic and jars, I also love this incredably simple to make jar and bracket wall storage (right). Plus it is such a handy thing to have. And talking of wall storage there are some interesting elements, I could adapt and make use of, in the picture below

As for the look I really like the look of the room below, but with a slight more 'Shabby Chic' feel to it. I like how light and airy it is and I think it would be a great place for creativity.

Well, there you go, some of my hopes for my craft room. They may be used or may not be used and the room may turn out completely different to how I planned (budget and what you want don't always go together, unfortunately) but I am going to enjoy the process and I will keep you all updated

Happy craftying
