In May last year, I sat down one Wednesday and wrote a wishlist. Lor Lor used to write a post for wishlist Wednesday and I just had to join in.
My wish was for a crafting space. I had a small pile of crafty accessories in the corner of my bedroom and I wanted more space. I drooled over bloggy craft spaces and dreamt of a place to store my stash.
The problems? No space. All of our rooms are spoken for. I also work from home so all available spare space, downstairs, is taken up with storing toys.
No money. I didn't have the spare pennies to spend on all of the things I would need.
My big sister read my wishlist and immediately started gathering supplies for me.
I rearranged my bedroom and she gave me an old computer cupboard.
I spent a whole £5 on a sweet little chair in our local second hand shop and I had a start.
This corner has basically been unuseable ever since. It really wasn't handy to have to pull everything out and spread it around my bed, just to make a workable space.
But I was patient.
Last summer my sister gifted,to me, some shelves from her salon and I tucked them away in my corner.
I have been given baskets, tins, containers and other odds and ends.
Finally, I called my Dad and asked him to help me.
Yesterday was the day and I was bursting with excitement.
It felt like Christmas day.
My little space is done. My very own little patch of craftiness.
I honestly thought I might burst with excitement! LOL. I couldn't stop smiling that I finally had my space. Last night as I was trying to fall asleep, I kept opening my eyes and peeking over at it , just wondering what craft will break it in! Hopefully some princess party bunting, if the bias tape ever arrives!
And then my Dad tipped out all of the screws from these dinky little boxes, with lids and handles and left them on the shelf for me. (Best Dad ever) So cute, so handy and just begging for something cute to embellish them :-)
Finally a home for the super sweet sewing box that my Mother in law gave me as a birthday gift in July last year.
And my little Daisy picture from Beebs is finding her niche in my little corner.
I am sure I will add some little touches and fun here and there.
Happy Happy Happy.
Thanks Dad for your hard work and Sarah for all of my bits and pieces.
Not bad for a total cost of £5! LOL talk about rocking what ya got!
