Oh dear ! March is here and I`m already very late for my post on
"Clean-up, Fix-up Your Workspace" Challenge & Blog Hop Reveal! .
"Clean-up, Fix-up Your Workspace" Challenge & Blog Hop Reveal! .
Ever since I started pursueing my hobby of jewellery making seriously , I have been wanting to get things tidied and organised . A collector for ages , I`ve been accumalating bits and pieces that fascinated me , on the thought that I would use it someday in future . And with loads of hand-me-downs from a crafting crazy mother and a hoarder mother-in-law , my collection has grown over the years . So every time I sit to create something , I have to go over the inventory in my mind as all my tiny treasures are in different storage places all over the house, ( no particular area to call my own sadly )
A terrible mess as the university books jostle with my beadwork space
Many a times this has proved to be an irritant when I realized that I missed using a particular finding that I already had in a creation . And there have been a times I have shelved the idea of making a piece , as I have been unable to find a tiny focal , that I wanted to use in my design .
And so when I came across this challenge , I was quite pleased that I would be now be compelled to reorganize or rather allocate and tidy up my workspace , a task I have been pushing off for ages. And so , finally, after procastrinating for weeks since I signed up for this challenge , here`s my before and after the tidy up !

and here`s the after picture .
Till now , according to the time of the day or night that I work , my work space has been changing . Days when I am alone and at home for the full day , my dining table converts as my workspace . And if I`m beading on those days, I prefer to sit out in my terrace under the natural daylight . And of course when I want uninterrupted creating time , I work in the night when everyone else at home is asleep . So the unit in my family room converts into my little studio ( a space that I share with my son ! )
 | |||
| finally a space that is finally only mine !! |
But after all the tidying up and reallotting territories to the family , ( a task that has proved quite hard with a grumbling teenager refusing to vacate the space inspite of having his own desk in his room , ) I have staked my claim on the lovely wall unit as my studio space and am quietly pleased with the result . At last , an area to call my own ............. all my tiny treasures stored in boxes neatly . The seedbead packets will have to be put into boxes and stored away so that I can work on the fabric mat while beading . And now all heres left is to get a good portable light which will help when I bead at night.
my sincere apologies to Sharyl for the late submission
