my craft room

ok...we live in a fairly small house (under 2000 square feet) so I call it my craft room, but it started out to be a study/guest room. Then I moved into it, and my dear hubby called it the "crudy". It is truely our multi purpose room, with my 26 year old's surplus clothes stored in here, our main computer, the tv the kids can watch when there are sports on the place our 75 pound dog sleeps, AND it is still the guest bedroom and best of all, my craft room!

this is where i sit...everything is from ikea or a thrift store! (bunny in progress).

the shelf, where everything is put into little containers so I can see what I have...otherwise I may forget!

There you have it, my little de-stress area in my home. I usually sit there at some point of the day. I at least glitter something waiting for inspiration!

This little "beglittered" sticker is going on my red bug~I just couldn't resist changing it a bit!

a little bunny

So, this week I discovered a whole new world out there. I visited Portland with my sister-in-law and she took me to a thrift store that was an exclusive CRAFT thrift store. It is called Scrap and is located on MLK blvd in Portlandia. It was quite the experience! Now I have never met a thrift store I haven't liked, but one that is all craft supplies...heaven! We spent a good deal of time there, Daisy looking through the patterns, material, sewing supplies. Me, looking through the junk! I found lots of little items that are going to find thier way into my crafts, but on the way out, I discovered this little bunny. He was only .50 cents! This is the before picture of him!

And now for the after.... I painted him white, I glittered him with some of the many Martha Stewart glitter I own, and I added a crepe paper egg for him to carry! And I added some vintage german tinsel and ribbon to dress him up even further.

I think he is pretty spiffy now! I am going to list him on my Etsy store...karenjune5!
