craft room inspiration

I am of course obsessed with crafting now. It is seriously addictive. My tiny little desk in the living room has ONE box for storage, and I use the kitchen table to work... it's CRAMPED already, and all I dream about day and night is expansion and world domination!! eh-hem, I mean, getting more supplies, learning more techniques, and starting new and more beautiful projects! I am so excited to be backed up with custom orders. Not so thrilled that people aren't paying for them WHEN they order, more because I just want to GO GO GO, even though people are willing to wait, by ADHD is like, BOING BOING BOING!!!

Anywho, when Allen and I talk about the future, we talk about our home. What we'd like to improve, add, and change. We also discuss both of our needs for personal space and domains, and what we'd like to create. Of course, my first wish is my own little office. Now that I have taken up bow making, I want an office for writing and crafting.

I've been looking online for inspiration, and thought I'd share some of what I have found with you.

I am deeply in love with the brightly colored walls, as well as bright boxes and supplies. I like in particular when the supplies are on display, not put up.

One of my favorite things about ribbon is how colorful and how beautiful it is. I love running smooth ribbon between my fingers. I love it on the roll. I love it in a sloppy stack, unravelled and glorious! Man, I am pretty sure this is a full blown addiction!

I hope you enjoy the photos I stole and put in this post. I know these photos brightened my day and sparked my imagination <3.

Things I currently have available for sale.

This bow has a french style clip, blue and black zebra striped grosgrain ribbon and that centerpiece? It is a 25 mm skeletal princess cameo set in an antique silver setting. Perfect for Halloween, La Dia De Los Muertos, or just a gothic mum with a punky kid. I am selling this one for $10 + SH

This bow is made with lace, a resin skeletal princess cameo, and satin ribbon on a french style clip and is selling for $4.50 + SH

This was a custom order from a friend that donated to me a bunch of buttons and ribbons and things for my *business*. However, I have the materials to make 4 more like this. I can sell them in pairs for $5 + SH or individually for $3 + SH. I also have a pale pink ribbon in this size, and can do pink on hot pink, hot pink on black, soft pink on black, or black on hot or soft pink.
