This is craft central at my joint... tis not a pretty sight. Every so often i pull everything out and re-pack or re-fold or re-box or re-sort the stuff and usually it takes me a whole day, many cups of tea and something sweet. It's a way of re-finding things: ideas, materials, the odd sock.... unfinished projects... it's a magic cupboard, to contain all of that but boy, does it get out of control. And it's spawned many other craft holding bays/shelves/boxes/niches in other areas of the house. I do secretly dream of that special craft space, filled with benches and shelves and light and work tables, tea facilities and a cake trolley at 3.15pm, but it's not on the immediate horizen. But then i wonder, if i didn't have to do the sorting/folding/ finding/ thing would i miss that creative surge, that point of re-discovery which propels me off on another craft tangent or the re-kindling of an earlier idea? Dunno, but until i have a designated all purpose multi functional craft-polis, i'll stick with the quandary of craft chaos.
