My mom and I have been painting, organizing, and donating up a storm lately. We decided to move the old art studio
from a spare bedroom into a large unused basement room where it will be
next to the sewing room. Effectively we be combined 3 rooms into one
much more organized space.
We have done a lot of stopping at craft stores, Target, Ikea, and Walmart searching for organizational containers. We found everything we needed except a good pencil holder. They were either small, expensive, or a carousel. I guess we're picky! So, the other day I picked up this bamboo placemat and black foam core for a total of $6. I did some measuring, cutting, sanding, and hot gluing to end up with this skinny divided pencil holder. Yeah!
We're pretty excited about the progress. All that's left is a bit more load in, painting an old table, and building our cutting table. Woo Hoo!
Love Mallory & Darlene too!
I really like your brilliant idea for a pencil organizer! Cheap and cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the day when I'll have a space dedicated to my sewing!
Oooh, these photos are great! I don't have any space where I can put all my crafting supplies, and these photos make me miss that! I love your fabric collection.
ReplyDeleteLove that pencil holder. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm a little bit jealous! I definitely need to learn to be arty or crafty so I can justify having a studio!
ReplyDeleteAre those prismacolor markers?
ReplyDeleteThey're actually AD Markers. They last way longer and have much more color saturation!
