craft desk

let me first start off by saying

it never looks like this

there are usually piles and piles of scrap paper everywhere

and unfinished projects laying everywhere

but it is the happiest place for me in my apartment

i get lots of good ideas here

and actually finish them here too 

sewing machine on the left side

below that a purple cow paper cutter

olfa cutting mat in the center

vintage thread keper on the right

alex underneath the table on the left

a medium-sized cork-board

filled with bits and pieces of inspiration

paint swatches, paper bunting, and comics 

and of course a to-do list in the upper right corner

along with a list of birthdays from ry's side of the family to the left 

a beautiful pincushion from my friend A

some yellow divine twine in a vintage Japanese bud vase

a sweet picture of my sister and i

a john derian tumbler from target that adds some luck to the table

and my vintage singer dressmaking course to add some cuteness to the table

i am sad that my table isnt super cute

but it is really functional, which is important right?

i also have one of these

she is amazing

ry got her for me on my most recent birthday

oh happy organized day!

she helps me pretend that i am organized

i keep all scraps in one drawer, all my punches and ribbons in another, etc. etc. 

it really is organized chaos

but that is what works for me 

i dont like being super rigid with my organizing

that can get so tiring after a while

but im sure its worth it

ill work on that
