In My Studio - Anna Uhras

Hi sweet Friends! Anna here today and I will invite you to my very best place in the world, ( ok, almost ,lol!) my scraproom.
First I want to let you know it's not at all as fancy as those white , airy , lovely and just gorgeous studios, BUT it's my very own room and I'm so so happy and grateful for it.

I've used what I had at home to furnish and decorate my scrappy place for almost one year ago. Before that I had a little corner in our bedroom, so this is almost heaven as compared to that :)

Here we go...

I love my big old desk, it's my Father in law's and he's got it from a school when they sold out old furniture. He doesn't use it anymore so I grabbed it, YESS!!

I got an older version of the Ikea Kallax shelf, called Expedit. 

I storage my cardstock and my albums in here. 

Ohh, and some other random stuff as well...lol!

You also can spy my beloved sewing maschine and my old - totally not fancy- but still working typewriter bought on a second hand store nearby.

I got some shelfs right behind my working area with loads of storage.

Here's a worktop that holds my printer and my absolutely fantastic Silhouette Cameo.

Also it swallows loads of crap in the cupboards and drawers, lol!

To the right yo see my faithful old servant, my lovely green Cuttlebug.

Still going strong!

One of my most recent purchase, a gorgeous storage basket tower from Ikea called Sommar 2017.

And a jar of cotton thread in several lovely colors.

Some close ups..

The wooden box with small plastic boxes in are from my parents old kitchen. I grabbed it when they moved and nobody else wanted it, believe it or not !!

I love it !!

Ahh!! you can spy some CTK boxes!!

I storage all my kits in it's own box as far as I can and as far as it is enough material left.

When there's just some small bits and pieces left I sort them out in other baskets and storage folders.

Just a little peek into my drawers...

Here's another favorite ,well known by many, my Råskog by Ikea. 

It's awesome and gorgeous, win win!!

Well, so that's my kind of  homemade studio :)

As I told you, not so fancy but yet so very perfect for me.

Some day, in my dreams, I will have one of those absolutely lovely light and airy WHITE scrap studios too, but until then I'm totally happy here <3

Thanks so my much for stopping by!

Until next time, take care!

In My Studio with Brenda

Good morning everyone!  Today I am going to give you a glimpse into my crafting space.  In the 10 years I have been crafting, I  have never had a designated space.  When we moved to Virginia our house ended up having an extra room that we didn't know about.  The formal living space.  Of course, we didn't have a need for it so it has become my crafting/kids room.

I originally had my desk set up here.  It is now the kids reading area.

I moved over to the smaller wall and made myself a little nook.

I have a furry little buddy next to my bookshelf to keep me company while I work.  He is a ferret named Bandit.  (I have a series of photos of him and my youngest daughter on IG with the hashtag #kaitlynandthebandit.)

I am not the most organized person so a lot of my stuff end up under the desk till I have time/motivation to sort it all out.  Several of the boxes here are actually finished layouts that do not have a home yet.

I love these little canvas boxes I picked up at Target.  They hold my miscellaneous supplies like sequins, paint, paper scraps, ect...

These boxes are actually organized.  They hold bags of different manufacturers supplies.  I plan to label each box once I have it all done right.  It will be so much easier to find everything.

I love using little jars, cans and boxes to hold small things that I want to keep on hand.  I find them everywhere and put them on my desk till I find a use for them.

A lot of times I don't get to my crafting till after dark.  As it is with most of the homes here, there are no existing lights.  Since a lot of our things were broken in the cross country move, I am left with my studio lights as "lamps."  This works for me though.  I can craft and then photograph my layouts without ever leaving my table if I want.

Here is my space after dark.

I hung twinkle lights on the window after Christmas.  I was all done with the holiday but missed the lights.  It also gives the room a cozy glow.


Thank you for stopping by to have a peek into my little space.  Where do you craft?  Do you have your own space?  I would love to see how you craft.
