Hi Friends!!!
After a much needed mental break – a year to be exact, I'm back! After a string of things happening back to back to back last year, I just felt like you weren't going to get the best of me – and that's what you deserve.
I literally shut my craft room door and didn't go back into it for almost the entire year. Okay, that's not entirely true… I would open the door just wide enough to throw something in there and hope the door closed.
Then about a month ago, I pushed the door open and looked at the mess. It took me an entire weekend to sort and go through things. I had it in my mind that I would start Makeable Crafts back up, but with that kind of mess, I started to rethink things. It was that big a mess.
After donating a TON of supplies, I was able to see the joy in the possibilities of what could be made in that room and shared from that room.
I love possibilities!
My stomach has butterflies in it just thinking about what will be the first new blog post! I have a bazillion ideas – because I didn't quit buying craft supplies during my hiatus, I prefer to think of it as my new supplies were hibernating.
There are a lot of new craft items and trends that have taken place over the past year. I may be behind on them, but I don't care. I just love to inspire people with handmade crafty ideas – that's my one and only focus.
I have to rearrange my heavy desk in there for better lighting, and that takes Matt's help. He is not a fan of this desk, I LOVE it! I will share pictures as we get a better idea of how it will all be set up.
So more ideas are headed your way, and I can't wait for that.
What I have no idea on is how many people will 1) see this post 2) be excited about it. Remember those butterflies I mentioned? If you would leave a comment and let me know what you think, I would be delighted! Double bonus points for letting me know what kinds of projects you would like to see.
More soon!! XOXO, Meg
Welcome back!! I am right there with you!! My craft room is piled high with so much potential that I can’t get in there and have no idea where to start. First and foremost can you share organizational tips and even crafty organizational items. Ready to get my craft on….once I clear the destruction aka piles of possibilities!!
Yes Melanie!!! YAY!! I am so happy to read your comment and I joyfully will share the organizing I do. Love it, piles of possibilities! XOXO!!!
I love your crafts and can’t wait to see your craft room!
Thank you Jennifer!
Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your crafts.
Thank you so much Linda!
Happy to see you back! Do you have a before and after photo of the craft room cleanup? That’d be interesting to hear about.
Hi Cindy! Thank you so so much!
Welcome back! I also have a blog and took almost a year off just because life took over and something had to give. It was tough to hit that first “post” button but it’s gotten easier. I would visit you during the Creative Linky Party Crafts and was going through my link parties this evening to see who was still active or not. So glad I stopped by your blog and saw your post. I will definitely check in with you and look forward to seeing all of the fresh ideas you have. Have a great day! ~Kristi/MulchandPaint.com
YAY!! Thank you so much Kristi!! (and you spell your name – as my sister, also Kristi, would say right!!).
