It is fig season here in the states and I brought some home while shopping for grocery last week. The figs are gone now and all what's left is just the green plastic crate perfectly made for ribbons or... my rolls of sequins.
Začala sezóna fíg tu v štátoch a somozrejme som domov okrem nákupov aj hned' priniesla jedno balenie pekného fialkového ovocia. Figy boli samozrejme hned' zjedené a jediné čo ostalo bola táto zelená plastiková krabička ako vyrobená na kotúčiky mašlí alebo... rolky flitrov.

I say... let's talk about storage today. Quite interesting topic especially for me as I am always searching for possible storage solutions for my growing craft supplies. Here, I have couple close ups of storage ideas from my craft room.Tools like scissors found their place in tin buckets I got in retif. Great place that retif. I found whole world in there:)
I had this pretty wooden box from hyacinth bulbs. The bulbs are planted out in the garden and the box is well used for different bottles with secret contents.
I love baskets - small or big, old or new, different shape it doesn't really matter. This one is well used for my 'antique' wood print letters. They had a sad past as they were used for printing last words on ribbons for funeral wreaths and bouquets. Now, they can expect more positive future:)These wooden shelves are from little note cards that we were selling in our stores before. They stopped to produce the little cards and the boxes stayed unused until now. They make a great stamp display. It looks like I will need more shelves soon though:)

Here are more deco items, this time for my working table. All can soups are eaten... time to change the label and dress them up a little bit. How about Black&White? This is very easy project... just need to measure the paper to fit on the can - the original label might be a good pattern, little bit glue and voala!

 Welcome to my new world! This is it - my crafting room for couple months. We found this great house outside Denver and there is so much space that I even can have my own room to put all my crafting stuff that I purchased while being in Colorado. I just love how the table is set in the room and that I have the view at the hallway. Also, I am a big fan of those double glass door - sooo elegant.

I really adore the furniture in here. It's all white, which is not my favorite color because I get it dirty pretty fast, but I love the country style and the table is just awesome (I love the little drawers - everything is at hand). I put the Andy Warhol's posters (got them in Pittsburgh while on the roadtrip ) on each side to keep me company and to make it also more cozy. I think I have enough stuff for now, what do you think:) They had so many transparent stamps on sale at Micheal's that I couldn't resist. What can I say I am addicted. Awful, I know:))
Well, maybe I can get couple more stamps and punches - you never now which one you will need:)

I even have an aquarium in here. It was Darren's idea to get some pet as we cannot have any dogs at this moment. Right now it is empty as we have to set the aquarium first and get the right water consistency. Than we bring a water sample back to the pet-store the next day to test. After it will be in the proper condition we can get fishes. Wow, I didn't know how much you have to do before you can actually own a pet-fish:))) but I guess this avoids a lot of deadly accidents, so smart:) I think I will miss this room when I will go back home but at least I got some new ideas how to update my old craft room. I'll say bye for now but stay tuned for new creations soon:)

I am disorganized person, very disorganized! And, even-though, it does look like I am organized according to the pictures from my work corner, trust me I am definitely not:) So, I like to play with project that would help me to achieve at least a bit of being systematized. My walking-closet is number one on my check list. Let's start with the belt organizing... I used a wooden shelf that was originally made for stuffed teddy bears to display in a toy store. I also topped it with a sign using the ready printed frame pattern from Martha Stewart page and her clear letter stamps.
Nice! Well, I still think about painting it some color, maybe white... And, on to another project:)

I wanted to show you something from my crafting kingdom. It is still in process as I definitely need new color on the wall (I am fed up with the light yellow), probably new table, and some more storage boxes. I want to paint the wall with a pea green color or the color of the little green frogs we have in our garden:) I was also thinking about rich orange and dark brown but I think the green idea is still holding me.

Here is the view from the door at my table and two skylights...
...my table, my stamps, my picture of NY city I took 8 years ago, roses from our garden, and much more...
...the paper storage, collection of craft books, bunch of scissors...
...jars from Ikea are great to store feathers, stones, wires, and and and......the space under one of my tables. Here you can see my old sewing machine:)))...
...the other side - stuff and stuff, a lot of stuff...
...and here is my 3 story stand that is sooo handy...
...and all my treasures are hidden in these trunks...
Hope you enjoyed the little peek into my room. Next picture show will be hopefully with new color on the wall:)) Have a great evening!
