WOYWW - Well this should dispel the notion that I am a neat and tidy crafter. In the middle of this picture is a little white tub of dental floss I was using to tie my balloon in the previous post and as I had no control over it, rather it controlled me I moved to cotton, hence the box of coloured cottons. The circle to the top left of the dental floss is a die cut, underneath it is the die, still there because I cannnot for the life in me find the rest to put them all away. You will see several punches - this is when I make my mess, embellishing - absolutely everything comes out until I finally make my mind up which to use.
This next picture is just a close up of the previous one. Few copics there - where are the rest.
See the next picture.
My dining room table, copics, daylight lamp and a load more 'mess', including another tub of dental floss - lost the first one - got out another.
Whilst I'm wandering around I might as well show you the kitchen - work surface. Along with stamps, (usually in need of cleaning - which is supposedly why they're there) there are inks, acrylic blocks, embossing powder, coffee cup and a couple of bottles of wine - necessary to maintain my sanity after spending the day leaving a trail of chaos in my wake.
Now here is the floor and my embellishment cupboard.
Last but not least - my chair, guess who crafts standing up? The bin has been emptied since last week - honestly - a few more failed experiments have landed in there. The huge builders size tube of silicone is one my son bought me when I complained that no-one sold crafting silicone here in Germany. It works great, is economical and apparentlty a log of the Dutch girls use this.
Not such a tidy crafter at all and believe me it can get a lot worse than this!!
Now I'm going to clear it all away then I can start on the next mess - or should I say card.

I feel better now I've seen yours Heather. Hope you are still enjoying life in Germany. I don't get much chance to comment but I still follow you and take sneaky peaks at your stunning creations.

Thanks so much for sharing your space. What a lot of copics!!!! x
hahahah I love that creative mess, so much fun...though the tidying up is never quite as much fun. i tend to leave a trail of destructiion too.
Ah but you see Heather - you tidy up in between things which puts you in the tidy category! Love that you use the monster silicone tube...I would get into such a mess with that! I do that too -lose one so get another out...the discipline is learning then to find and put both away!!

*hugs* Heather x
Oooh lots of gorgeousness here Heather, I'm sure mine will look much more like this by next week (just ignore Ann's comments please!)
Mmm may have to try builder's silicone as I seem to get in far too much of a mess with the crafting stuff lol!
I love your crafting area ... well used ...full of creativity ...enjoyed a good nose around
Enjoyed the tour round your crafting area(s!) Thanks for sharing x
Well I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only messy creature. Bits here, there and everywhere. Thanks for sharing Heather.
When you leave a trail like that I think it's to let people know you're around hehe. Snap with the dental floss - I've got some on my desk this week, but I'd used it for sewing as it's nice and strong.
