MUCH NEEDED BUT UNSCHEDULED CLEAR UP YESTERDAY...

The weather is gorgeous right now so I invited the Knit and Natter girls for coffee and cake this afternoon....oops the craft room was really in need of a tidy up and I do mean really in need......not quite finished but its acceptable for a visit.
 
Its the only room big enough to sit 6/7/8 crafty girls, really comfortably it's
still full of stuff hehe
but at least there is a space for a cup and seats to sit on with out a cat bed on top lol
 
Ached like mad by the time I had finished quite late last night.
 
It all started when Phil got up early and said where do you want these shelves then?
 
Poor love these shelves have been up and down about 6 times in my craft room as it has evolved and changed over the last three years lol..and he never complains just puts them up...promise this is the last time I will move them.
SO i decided the craft room was to be the days task....
the shelves went up first...
while this was going on I started to clean the craft room roof and frame...after such a damp and long winter I've never seen so many mold spots?...that's the bit that isn't finished yet...
All the little nooks and crannies took ages to wipe down..so that bit is a WIP.
Hopefully all the colourful samples will distract lol.
been sugar stiffening lots of sample motifs to hang up...slow process because of the drying time...
may be I'll do some more this next couple of weeks as it is going to be lovely and warm!
See?.... I now have a cleared coffee table and shelf tops...not been seen for a few months lol.
sofas and chairs are all cleared and ready...ooops i have been playing this morning and the coffee table is already half covered..it won't last will it?
I love my craft room but it does get very hot, its already 23c and all the windows and the french doors are wide open..may be after all the work we will end up in the garden today, the fan is ready anyway and we might want to have the semi final on the TV.....crossing everything for Andy this afternoon.
 
Happy Hooking.

  6. Oh, Sue! So many delightful creations and colors everywhere you look! Such a lovely space! I did notice a few things that I am sure I haven't seen before, hee hee. Like, in the pic where your table has just one, smallish wicker bowl sitting on it? It holds several small delightful motifs in it, and on top there are some multicolored square motifs? One is rainbow colored, and another has red for its outer round? Do you remember where that pattern might be? I love them! There's more, of course. But I happen to have a bounty of those rainbow colors still... :-)
