So I've been addicted to Freecycle lately. Freecycle is a website where you can post stuff that you want to get rid of, and then someone can contact you and come get it...for FREE. I found a sewing machine and an awesome desk on freecycle; feels so good to get stuff for free. Both items were from nice families here in Madison.
Warning:Use Freecycle with extreme caution! Bring someone with you (preferably a guy) just in case things get weird. Jimmy made sure that I didn't end up chopped up in someone's basement. :)
Anyway, the addition of the sewing machine and the desk gave me an excuse to give my crafty room a little makeover. I will probably be making some decorations in the future, but for now, plain yellow walls are enough!
Here are the photos:
Before: One desk, one hobby. The addition of new hobbies requires more surface area to work on!
After: Two desks, too many hobbies!
I built this light box a few weeks ago. It only cost a few bucks to make! Just had to cut out three sides of a box with a razor blade, cover the holes with tissue paper, and hang white posterboard in the box. It makes my pictures look really nice! I plan to replace all my current Etsy photos with light box photos soon; but we all know how lazy I am....
My new desk and sewing machine!
The little crochet corner of my desk.
My new (very old) sewing machine. This thing is ancient, but it still runs beautifully! I still can't believe I got it free! :)
So the previous blog entry showed Pepper in a fabulous tutu. Well, I made a matching one for me. It's super duper fluffy! I plan to put tutus on my Etsy page soon!
And of course my good ol' desk from the high school days! Perfect size for my clay stuff!I hope you enjoyed all the pictures! After giving a makeover to my crafty room I felt inspired to give a makeover to the blog. It looks nice, don't you think?
