GETTING ORGANIZED!

Image
I have visions of one day being really organized. You know a place for everything and everything in its place. In addition to revamping one part of my studio, there it the other side. In particular, my jewelers bench. It's a second hand handmade bench from Craigslist and I'm ever so grateful to have it, but with only one shelf its just not functioning well. Yes, I will bear the shame and show you a before photo. I'll upload a new one when I get it organized. via Deb V Designs http://ift.tt/1pHrbRL

Inspiration

INSPIRATION: Once the new(er) cabinets were installed, I was inspired to clean my studio and mingle all the stuff I had thrown into those lovely plastic bin towers we are all so fond of. I managed to clear a whole tall tower and several dr awers are now empty in a few others. After two days (I'm not quite finished), I managed to make a HUGE dent in what has to be done. Chain, jump rings, wire, tools etc., etc., etc. are now all in their proper places. The remaining "stuff" was dumped into a few containers and I'll sort them another day. I got rid of lots of "stuff" and feel like I'll have a fresh start at my bench to start creating for upcoming shows. BARGIN BIN - in the works: I've been bagging beads & findings I no longer use and will sell off at upcoming events. They'll start at $1 each per bag and up. PLANNED CREATIVE SCHEDULE (over the next month): - Enameling - Etching - Anticlastic forming - Sawing, Soldering & Riveting Can'...

STUDIO RE-VAMP

Gotta Love Recycling.  I found kitchen cabinets on Craigslist from the old RCMP building in Surrey for a great price. Here are before, during and AFTER pics.  I'm one happy camper and so lucky to have a wonderful DH (along with our good friend) to install them. It will be nice to get things organized as it was really getting over crowded in there. From a kitchen reno job my DH did. Someone actually stole a drawer.  It served it's purpose for a few years. Out with the old. Clean Slate DRUM ROLL PLEASE... Aren't these awesome.  So much room and a few cabinets still empty.
