Tidy Friday - More Craft Room Declutter - Yay!!!! More Floor Space!

[@junebamburg1704]

Love watching you organize, it’s encouraging me to get rid of things I have been saving for years. Thank you.❤️

[@MrsKCumings]

Excellent work, Tina!! You've inspired me ... I cleaned the top of my workspace while while watching / listening to you work - so much more fun to be doing this together!!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Karen for joining me in the clear up x

[@michelesinkitstampit]

Glad you sticking with this. I have been cleaning right along with you. I know how hard it is to go though things and try to decide what goes and what stays. Keep it up!

[@williamhawthorne1375]

Soo proud of you,well done you,you will be so much happier when its done and you can put your hands more easily on your stash ,xxxLizzie

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Barbara x

[@mrstdoodle7085]

Wonderful progress. I look forward to your Tidy Friday segments, as every episode inspires me to tackle another corner or drawer. Every corner I tidy up makes me feel so much more comfortable in my "She Shack". Thank you for doing these...I hope they don't end very soon.

[@kandiboyer]

Two Tidy Fridays---love it! Loved seeing your excitement when you got the floor cleared. You are making awesome progress and just think you are making room for new stuff! As far as your desk, if that works for you so be it. Could try a few clear bins to put in the corner to throw stuff in--still have everything there but it would just look a little neater and if you use clear bins you can still see everything. That's kind of what I do. I have three clear flat 12x12 bins (about 3 inches high) that I have out when I'm working--one for paper, one for fabric/lace scraps and one for ephemera. I try to clear them out after each project and put them in the correct storage spot---now I have to admit that doesn't always happen, but I do try. I've been bad this week and my craft area is a little messy (hubby is out of town so I didn't do my normal evening clean up) and I really need to get it cleaned up so I can mess it up again this weekend!😊 Oh and as far as the outlet for your glue gun--have you thought about a smart plug? I have one and I control my craft light with it via the app or my Alexa voice control--love it. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Kandi for all your great ideas. I love that you haven’t been clearing up this week as you went because your hubby is out of town 🙃 . I’ve never heard of a smart plug before, I will check them out, thank you. Have a great crafting weekend x

[@sherryrector2275]

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Sherry, yes I am soooooooooo excited x

[@heathermitchell9498]

Well done!! You have really done a great job of getting rid of things that you no longer need. It's been great watching your journey and seeing the progress.

[@dattdoings7808]

Awesome. Your chatter of "bin it" and "be strong" was great back ground for my decluttering project. Thanks!

[@donnasmith9042]

I just love Tidy Friday with you... Your excitement after you cleaned was so genuine and I was so happy for you, not to mention proud when you started binning some of things... Baby steps.. I always say, " if I haven't used in 6 months to a year I'm not going to"... I have stuck to that and it makes my room neater.... I still have my desk which looks like a hurricane hit it, but that's ok... Have a wonderful weekend 😘

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That is such a great rule to go by, I really need to do that. Yes, having a messy desk is kind of inspiring, just not when it’s everywhere else too, lol . Have a great weekend too xx

[@janetstubbington583]

Love Tidy Fridays and so happy for your progress. You are way tougher than you thought.

[@bette-annflood835]

Wow. Loving it. You're doing a super duper job. I know moving my stuff is teaching me about how much stuff I have and will I ever use it??? When I put back in my new room I will probably be getting rid of more stuff. Lol have a great day!!!

You are going to feel great when you are done x

[@leilahwilliams9232]

I love to hear the excitement in your voice, I feel the same way when I tidy up and can actually have some extra room, job well done! I also love that you have kept hat and shirt from your son so many years intending to use them but you are making great strides and are very inspiring to watch tfs!

[@patpatsthis-n-that5586]

YAY!!!! I smiled at the end because you was so genuinely excited! Awesome work. I'm dreading tackling my craft shed🤦 I am quite the hoarder lol so I do understand finding uses for everything and having a hard time trashing things.

[@Melinda-S]

Great job! It's always fun to be able to *see* progress in quantifiable ways rather than just think you've made progress. Listening to you talk through your tidying process reminds me of the things I said to myself going through piles and piles and piles of paperwork awhile back. I was constantly shaking my head at my silliness for not getting rid of stuff sooner. Thanks for sharing!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, yes it’s crazy isn’t it? As crafters we just hang onto the smallest bits and pieces and before we know it we are overrun with stuff! 🤗🤭 x

[@beckysavino1]

Be strong! You are doing a fantastic job. Love this series!

[@crab3696]

You have the most amazing assortment of craft materials. It's been fun seeing you go through your piles .. Hope you get to use some of your "new" old finds!!

[@beckydexter8843]

Hi Tina, I have to say I find sorting really therapeutic. I often tidy and sort before beginning a project. My friend has a room in a mess much like yours but won't let me help as she says she needs to go through each bag which of course she does. So these tiddy Fridays are such fun to watch!! Thank you. It's also helped me realise I need to be a bit less tidy sometimes for inspiration. X

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

It’s hard to get the right balance, sometimes being too tidy makes it difficult to craft I think...........that said it’s a long time since my craft area was tidy! Lol x

[@tonyashatley5040]

That’s amazing! Looks great! You’ve been working very hard. No craft room here but on Friday’s I tell the kids “It’s Tidy Friday. Don’t forget to clean up all your stuff!” So we do Tidy Friday a little different but it works! Thanks for sharing your mission!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, I might try that on my daughter! X

Way to go! It is so much fun to watch you work and get through your stuff...you make me want to tidy in my craft room too!

[@BarbieDollNL]

Loving your Tidy Friday episodes! You’re making amazing progress. I’m a supplies hoarder by nature too, so watching you bin things can make my brain itch a bit, but generally gives me a sense of relief too. Except those pink prism gem dangles. That was tough to watch. 😂 Keep up the series please! So enjoyable to see your items and watch you clear and sort. Seems like an odd thing, but it’s truly great and inspiring! 💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, those pink dangle things! Yes, they were hard to part with x

[@hannahwalker7221]

Well done! I’ve been working on my studio as well, and it is so satisfying to get reacquainted with useful items, and to be liberated from the junk.

[@dianesmith4759]

I just love watching you tidy up. You make me laugh with all your reasoning about what to keep and what to throw away! It is so hard to keep things neat with all the little pieces we have with junk journaling. I do like the round sectioned container on top of your desk. Keep going---your craft room will be so neat and organized soon!

[@melissaseifert9317]

Thanks so much for sharing this decluttering! I’m feeling so inspired and hopeful that I too can clear and organize my craft room! I can totally understand how you feel✌🏻❤️🙏🏻😘

[@susanrichey6039]

I havei an "unfinished project" system too. You have to! There are these canvases made all of wood...I think they make them for resin art work or for shadowbox projects. They are made fully of wood and they make a nice tray. I will fit cork to the bottom and beading fabric or yupo for whatever I'm working on. For beadwork it keeps the bits and pieces all contained. For inking and painting work it has a nice 1-2 inch raised edge so I can put a lid on it to protect them while they dry. They are also handy for bringing out to the living room and do crafts while watching tv in the evening. They stack really well. My stack of trays is about 2 feet tall now, lol. But it works for me. Its good to watch you organize yourself. Its helping us all

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh what a great idea, it sounds like a brilliant system that you have going x

I have watched a few of your tidy Fridays and seen sometimes how hard it is for you, and how you change your mind what is to go and what to keep. I think all us crafters have that problem, you want to see my many, many , many boxes of wool. I could open my own shop with it. Keep up the great work your doing, and soon you will have a beautiful craft room area again...........xxxxx

Well done, Tina!

[@kathynolan1966]

Tina again I am so proud of you, that set of drawers that you have under your desk, what you could do with them instead of using it for unfinished projects why not put it on your desk, grab a handful of papers neaten up and place in the drawers, you will still have the assess that you like and you are not actually getting rid of anything off your desk but putting it into a neat pile might make things a little easier, again well done and can't wait till the next tidy Friday. I am not actually doing a tidy of my craft supplies as I don't have that many but I am decluttering my home of things that I no longer want or need. Just because you have an untidy craft room doesnt mean that you are hoarder the rest of your house might tidy for all we know.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Kathy, I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement. I think the drawers would be quite big on my desk, but maybe something to try. The rest of my house is pretty tidy......unless you open the cupboards, then it resembles this! Lol x

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

How exciting to clear the space under your desk and get things organized! You have seriously inspired me to keep looking through my own things and either keep, toss or donate. Keep means I have to put it where it belongs. My ribbons and lace drawers are still something to be desired. Have not yet figured out a good solution, lol. I love the laces and ribbons, and do hoard them, ugh! But how accessible are they if they are all undone and stuffed into drawers in a total mess. Anyway, thank you for all this wonderful inspiration. I am sure we were all clapping and shouting hooray for you! Hugs, Angela

I love your tidy Friday’s Tina. 🥰 As you can see I’m way behind as I’m doing my sorting and tidying getting ready to travel again. The borders are getting closer to opening so I have to be ready to go. I’ve bought some very large plastic containers and I’m sorting into types of projects like vintage, paints/mixed media etc. They are all numbered so that way if I decide to get something sent to me it’s all organised and I can say to my son please send box number whatever, it’s no good saying anything like vintage box. I’ve been finishing up all my photos into albums and it’s amazing how many photo packets I’ve found with just a few photos left in them. Have just started a book of nieces and nephews because they all seem to be having babies, the next generation coming up and I’m still doing an album for my husband for his retirement next year. All in all a really busy time and having health problems it’s a bit of start, rest, bit more, rest and so on. It’s so hard to be ruthless, I found a box of paper scraps I’d used for collages and thought what am I doing keeping these surely I’ve got scraps everywhere, binned it, felt terrible but hey it’s got to be done. Know how you feel and appreciate your example on these tidy Friday’s. Love hearing about your family and know you must be special parents if your older children walk in the rain with you. Stay safe and thank you for your time and inspiration. 💕👋🏻

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Wow Deborah what a fantastic system you have in place by numbering your containers so your son can send them. That is such a great idea.

Tina, I understand the hoarder because my mom is that way. Bless her heart she just can’t part with something she might use or wear. She has a huge closet....room size and says she has nothing to wear. She does wear the same 5 or 6 outfits each week. Her two car garage can hold only her car and then if she pulls in a passenger can’t get out. Every other closet in her home is packed full too. One day my sister, brother and I will have a week or two going through and enjoying the memories. She is 86 and has boxes of things from her daddy that she hasn’t gone through since she brought them back from California. Treasure trove I’m sure, since he was a hoarder too. Don’t get me wrong, her home is lovely, just full.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh I really can relate to your Mum's hoarding. It is sooooo hard to get rid of things, especially things that were from loved ones. Thankfully I am not at that level of hoarding, but I can see how it could easily happen. Have fun with your sister and brother going through her treasure troves x

[@sherryrector2275]

Had a good laugh when I saw the third pile to go thru. Omg I can’t imagine how you’ and me too, can’t let go of things. I have stories my son wrote in 2 or 3 grade and he’s over 40. I can’t throw them away. If you can do the pile into the bin I need to get to work and clean out my things I don’t need to hang on to.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

What is it about those cute little things that the kids made, literally years ago? I guess they just make you feel warm and nice remembering your little ones, I imagine when I die the kids will have a field day going through all my stuff! Lol. Yes, go through your stuff too, if I can do it.........x
