Crafty by Association

Here I am, sitting in my newly renovated craft room, basking in the craftiness that comes with having an organized knitting stash. Here is an album of the renovation of the craft room, which literally makes me tired thinking about, so for the sake of this post (and my sanity) I am going to stick to talking about how much I have loved having it done. A whole recycled glass hurricane on sale at Target just for my knitting needles, including my fabulous new SUSHI NEEDLES from Joy:

They don't look that impressive spread out in the giant hurricane, but in my defense, this does not include my many many circulars, the ones that are currently in use in a project, or my full interchangeable set.

A whole shelf for bags organized by project:

I must have fun bags to hold the fun projects I am working on. From left to right:

Coheed bag I got at a show in Austin. Currently holding my projects for Charlotte's new baby boy, Ryan.

Natalie Dee "Will Knit for Tattoos" bag #1. Currently holding my knit sushi pattern.

Natalie Dee "Will Knit for Tattoos" bag #2. Currently holding my chevron scarf project. I made one for my mom like it.

Strawberry Target bag. Currently holding the massive log cabin blanket that will never be done.

A BIG OL' JUG just because:

OK, this isn't actually in my craft room, but this picture shows it in its full glory, so there ya go. I got this jug, along with many of my other favorite vintage things, at Bloom and Bee Swanky in Waco, right next door to the Museum. Amy is awesomeness and you should most definitely check out her store if you visit the Museum or are just in Waco.

Also, DJ is not amused by the craft room...

At work I am getting to be craft this week, too. My two new part time workers started on Monday and by golly we dove right in! We are spending the week reorganizing all of the artwork ever in the history of the collection it seems like. That kind of work is much more satisfying to me than sitting at my desk all day, but I am absolutely exhausted afterwards. DJ is annoyed with my exhaustion because it causes me to lounge in the craft room instead of entertaining her... She is SO needy!

Also, I don't want to talk about it too much because then it won't happen, but be aware that changes to the sidebar and to the blog itself may be on the horizon as I update things to reflect my evolving tastes in life! Hooray for evolution, right?!
