my artsy crafty space

we recently moved my stuff into the now official "office." we put the guest bed in miriam's room and put me with mike's stuff. so now we are sharing. scary. neat freak hubby sharing a room with artsy crafty messy wife. this should be fun. we still haven't painted this room but that's ok i like all my stuff i put up! see that tree? i made it from a felted thrifted sweater and am going to decorate it with felt "bumps" (sounds weird i know). i think i am going to sell it on my etsy site.


i love the cork trivets from ikea, they make great bulliten boards! and my hubby made those green shelves for me. good job honey! and i made the ribbon organizer out of two finials that i found in someone's trash for cleanup day! i loooooove cleanup day. everyone can put out anything they want thrown out, people throw out tons of awesome stuff. i'll have to take pictures and show everyone my loot!

  1. That's space screams Shues! Everything looks so cute and colourful! I could definitely get used to that! Uggg that tree is adorable. You're so resourceful and crafty-I'm so envious. Cleanup day sounds like it could be one of the best days EVER. GOSH I wish there was something like that here! Dumpster diving/trash picking is AMAZING. You really need to post your loot. I'm insanely curious as to your finds!

  3. Gawd that tree is so sweet, and I love your room! I lade a ribbon caddy like that from two cheap-o mini shelves fromthe walmart craft department and a dowl, so fun! Hope the space I set up in my new place is as good as yours!

  4. Congratulations on your room - hope you and your husband work well together. I like the trivet idea as wall art and it's useful too. We in fact just used ours tonight - but only as trivets. Need to get some more, but not until IKEA opens up near us (which will hopefully be soon). How I miss it.
