Moving!
Afternoon
Well I am moving craft rooms, exciting really to go into a new space but it is half the size of my old one and half the desk space, yikes! I have been very very lucky for years to have a big space to craft in and have decided to move into our study instead. Mike is decorating in there now and will be moving most of the stuff over tomorrow. So I have been trying to look at this logically (not me at all!) and get rid of a lot of stuff, there is so much that I have collected over the years that I now don’t use at all. It will be quite cathartic in the end but at the moment, having to get rid of so much stuff is really upsetting.
I have thrown most of my quilting and cross stitching away (my fingers are getting so bad with arthritis I don’t think I will ever be able to do that again) and I have lots…. may do a craft table or boot fayre, there certainly is enough stuff. I have encaustic art I haven’t touched in over five years but can’t get rid of my painting stuff, tried yesterday but it all came back in again! Stamps galore and paper coming out of my ears – I have made a big pile for school and for my great niece Phoebe to take for her nursery school too.
I will be certainly be thinking of what I buy in the future (ha ha ha, anyone knowing me will say that is a throw away comment!!) but must do as there will be no room.
So no posts for the next week while I get sorted. Take care…

Hey Julie, I’m going to try and organise a craft sale maybe at Ferndown Community Centre where we can all have a table to sell our ‘excess’ crafting stuff. Looking into the price for the room but will let you know soon. If we advertise we should have a good turnout and hopefully not selling to each other! lol
Have fun with your clearout!
