WOYWW - My New Craft Room

I have never joined in WOYWW before, although I have often looked, but I thought this week it would be a good excuse for me to show you that my new craft room is now coming along. For those of you who don't know me, our home was all but destroyed by a burst pipe at the beginning of February and we have only just returned to it after the rebuild, having been living in temporary accommodation. Colin has spent about 10 days solid varnishing each shelf and strut of the craft room furniture, which is Ivar from Ikea - cheap but very practical and flexible for me:-

 

Colin has put back up for me the stamp storage unit he made for me when I first started stamping. Each shelf has a little ledge so that you can have a double row of stamps and hopefully see the ones of the back row. Obviously I have a lot more UMs now, but some of these wooden stamps are still real favourites.



We are really enjoying being back home and Colin has been amazing with all the jobs he has done. Starting to craft again at home as I did before is really important to me as it's a sign of getting back to normality. Thank you Julie for hosting WOYWW.

  10. Welcome to WOYWW. What a time you've been having by the sounds of things. Hopefully, life will start getting back to normal now.
    Your new shelves are looking great, you can't go wrong with Ikea for storage can you.
    Thanks for the visit. You did right not venturing North. We still have so many roads closed and my Hubby went over the Pennies this morning and said the weather was terrible.
    Happy WOYWW

  14. Welcome to WOYWW, I am so pleased that you have been settling back in again and are able to craft again (I still look out for plain clutch bags I can alter like yours from a few months ago!).
    Thanks for popping by my desk, and Colin has done you proud.
