Oops...I {Art}ed!

where I create and some works-in-progress

Happy Hump Day! I thought it would be fun to snap some photos of my current workspace and some projects that I'm working on.  My studio is really cramped for how much stuff I have in it.  I think the room measures out to be 8ft x 8ft.  Ultimately, I would love for us to get into a house with a large enough room where it can be made into my craft studio and the kids' play area.  I'm hoping that we find this place soon.  My room is in complete disarray so I'll only show a photo of one corner of my studio.  I'm too embarassed to show more!  Forgive me for the piss poor lighting, it's a gloomy day here in Northwest Florida.

A layout that I'm working on consisting of the "So Sophie" line from My Mind's Eye.

Finally, some bottlecap and scrabble tile pendants that I'm working on.  I'm just waiting on some more chains and organza ribbons, from my etsy suppliers, to get here.  I'll probably be updating my Etsy store some time this weekend.

Just curious, how many have you have sold your handmade items at local arts & craft fairs? Was it a good experience for you? Let me know, I'd love to hear your input or suggestions.  That's it for now.  It's almost the weekend, hang in there! :)

You know your studio is getting out of control when...

your husband suggests moving the dining table into the kitchen, so you can take over the dining room and free up a spare bedroom.

Leave it to me to finally purge through my ridiculous craft room stash over a 3 day break.  I already have my first listing up on ebay for any of you that are looking to hoard scrapbooking supplies. lol. 

This is the unfortunate result of being a member of several kit clubs and not having the time to knock out the current month's kits before the next ones are sent out.  But I digress, here are some photos of the first lot up for grabs...

Some of the manufacturers included in this lot: Cosmo Cricket, Dream Street, Cherry Arte, Basic Grey, Tinkering Ink, Pink Paislee, My Minds Eye, Fancy Pants, Paper Trunk, S.E.I, American Crafts, Crate Paper, Kaisercraft, Making Memories...the list goes on and on and on!  Most papers are double-sided print, but there are some single-sided print.

If you're interested, you can find this auction listing here.  I really need to pass this stuff on to someone else, it's stifling my muse!
