Woyww #320 -moving around

It's Wednesday again, and that means it's time to hop around crafty desks around the world. Check out Julia's blog to have everything explained and hop forward to other places. Here is my desk... and it's a different desk from what I've been working on the past year!

On top of my art journal,is a torn envelope... I just received a sheet of Ryn stamps, and the mail has managed to crunch it between some moving parts, and one of the images on the sheet is destroyed. A real pain... all I can do is return the whole sheet and buy a new one. The socks are still under way, but not too much left, the plants will hopefully start looking better, if I remember to give them water every now and then now, that I look at them every day. The pink princess is my daughters make. I just finished a spread in my altered book, and I'll be posting that after getting this written. The old mac is waiting for me to store the photos from inside of it, after that I'll move it elsewhere... as for what happened to get me here:

Last Thursday my husband drove to a nearby town for a day of with the girls... and I stayed at home with the boys (we have two of both). I decided this was the moment I had been waiting for and moved my craft space into the bedroom and the tv+ other stuff into the living room. We worked all day! Luckily a 12 year old is surprisingly strong, and both boys were eager to put together my ikea drawer unit and I was able to dig the old dining taple from the garage where it was half way under a pile of wood. DH would never have allowed all this if he had been at home, we would have had to plan and arrange things for at least a week or two... or perhaps until next year! So here are some pictures taken standing in the doorway between the living room and bedroom.

View into the living room:

(my crafty storage and mess= what I've usually been showing here)

AFTER 

(his neat "office", the tv and comic boxes happen to be out of sight)

View into the bedroom:

BEFORE

(his "office", tv, piles of VHS and DVD, boxes of comics, my clothes on the floor...)

AFTER 

(my crafty mess and storage... still clothes on the floor)

I can see I need to do a bit of ironing! I'm going to buy one more of those white towers from Ikea, there's space for it on the far right. I hope to get rid of all my little cardboard boxes and piles, hopefully before schools begin... There's only one major problem left after these arrangements: the dark brown work desk is now in a broader spot in the hallway in front of some book shelves, I've got to find a place for it somewhere :)
