After another weekend of moving stuff to our new place and then trying to unpack and put away said stuff, I'm pretty convinced I don't want to move again for a while. Luckily, I'm thinking we'll be happy in here, especially once we get things set up and organised the way we'd like. It's probably going to be an ongoing process in that respect, but I hope we're able to get a lot of it done in the next few weeks. One of my major goals is to have a workable and enjoyable space for me to create. A space where all my tools and supplies have their own place and the most used ones are easily accessible. A space to make cards, other paper crafts and paint, and a place for the great hand-me-down sewing machine from my Mom. A space that inspires me to create. It's going to take a lot of creative thinking to find ways to best use the space. I've been saving images of craft and/or studio spaces for a while now, so my goal this week is to look through them for inspiration. If any of them really appeal to me, I'll post them here.
I'm looking forward to accomplishing this goal in the medium-term, but for the short-term, I'm going to have to make do with whatever I can - a flat surface and whatever supplies I can reach within the piles of boxes and plastic tubs. There are still cards to be made - at least two in the next week - so I have to get cracking.
Today, I thought I'd show you a set of cards I made last month for my friend J, who kindly let me ship some much needed (and well-priced) craft supplies to her just-outside-London address from one of my favourite suppliers in the UK, and then brought them to me when she came for a visit to Toronto. I wanted to give her something to thank her for being my 'craft mule'. I initially thought I'd make her a thank you card, but then I thought - why not make her a few and let her give them to whomever she wants? So that's what I did. Three simple thank you cards. J loved the idea. I'm thinking I might be onto something here.
