Post by CT Girl–Heidi Barclay .. #4 in the series Where do you create?


PROFILE PIC HEIDI copy
Hello everyone, today I am going to take you on a walk around my scrappy area. I am fortunate enough to have my own room, which is actually a spare room but rarely gets used so that is quite lucky really.









 

Here is my what my desk area looks like (and yes I have cleaned it nicely especially for this room share.

The idea behind buying this writing desk was to be able to close it up when I am not using it, but that’s just far too much hassle so I leave it open most of the time and it’s normally a lot messier. Here is a close up of what I have in front of me when I am working

So there are some essentials which I keep fairly close to me, on the right or left.

Right in front of me you can see some tins and circle tins, I keep all my flairs, enamel dots, rubons etc in the old Maya Road tins

  and then I used a metal spice rack which I put some of my sequence, wooden embellishments and bits and bobs in.

 I have used an old wooden crate (small one) for my collection of washi tape.

My Mists and Distress Inks are in a similar wooden crate which we received as a gift with a bottle of wine in it. Perfect use for mists and I slot in my favourite masks just behind it.

To the left of me I have a little shelf which contains my Alpha’s (in a plastic box), my washi tape, my mixed media stuff and just general stickers / embellishments - and right next to that on the floor I keep my 12x12 papers in a plastic box which is perfect for 12x12 pp’s. 


and last but not least, I have created a banner on the wall next to me where I can hang up some of my favourite layouts to inspire me. As you can see my space isn’t that large, but it’s my space to retreat to and create.
