CRaFts from Around the CoRner...

 I LOVE CoFFee Cans! {along with TomaTo Sauce cans}

I don't hoard them,  but I sure use them.

Here's some really rad things to do with those big ass Coffee Cans.

I especially LoVe the Hanging Light project.

I would make some with Single cans also.

These would be perfect for my Studio.

so here's Curbly, with our 'round the corner craft...

Creative Uses for Coffee Cans

One another great project are Can Stilts for the kids.

Santa's Spreadsheet

I have hated Excel for as long as I can remember, 

going way back to my days as a Secretary.

Excel and Panythose....straight to hell as far as I'm concerned.

This year, I have become one with the Spreadsheet; well, 

at least, there is a mutual acceptance.

I am a gigantor To~Do*Lister.

My To~Do Lists have To~Do Lists...
and some of them have a To~Do List..

OY~it's just too much Man!

So I told my Self...Self, check out this spreadsheet thing.

And I did.

And I LoVeD it!

Not only did I list each person and their intended gifts,

but at the bottom of the list,
I placed all the Stores that I needed
to peruse for said Gift.

Righteous!

That seemed to make such a difference.

I'm a hooked spreadsheet Holiday hOoker now...

one brightly colored marker, Sharpie if you please!, 

and Santa just got a Ho Ho {w}Hole Lot better~

Organizing for Yulemas Notions, Potions, & GLiTTeR....Sooo much GLiTTeR

 Easy....

  

I want to do a huge wall calendar.

With moveable parts that have moveable parts.
Where I can glaringly see
what I have done, and need to do.
Needing usually outweighs the Done.

I want the Willy Wonka of Calendars, all whymsical and stuff.

But non complicated.

things that make you go hmmmm.....

I was thinking about sheet protectors.

 


and hooks
{hooks for hookers}








and tags,
tags with things to do on them.

all switcharooney and stuff.



Office Depot, here I come...

Studio, New workbench, Getting organized ~ A

 

It seems that after the Holiday craze, 

Studio clean up is a Uno Numero priority for Crafters.

I am no exception.

I have really enjoyed seeing other Artists amongst

the tribbles of Their studio, 

and having confirmation that I am not the only one who's studio looks like 

a Posse of Priscillas had their Beauty Day.

One thing I asked of Santa The Man, is for a new workbench. I did have pics of the assembly, but alas, They decided to launch themselves into oblivion of their own accord.

After assembly the new bench, the plan was to replace the table by the window. 

As is wont to happen,

the Plans on the paper didn't quite match the Plans in reality.

Now the conundrum. 

How the hell to squeeze all of that into the same space.

Because, the whole purpose was to STREAMLINE!

Oy!

And on top of that, it was a multi room reorganiztion so I was literally going in circles.

Remember the toy room? yeah, I know....

So here is the progress so far.

One of the biggest issues is the easel. 

Love my Easel, but it's like having a MaMMoth for a pet.

and the Rolling Paint Tray, its favorite play toy.

I was constantly pulling and pushing both out of My way.

Also reorganize all my watchmakers tins! 

After several attempts at magnets, and velcro, I'd had it. 

Another reason I needed my new workbench 

was the awesome ass drawers provided by said workbench. 

Perfect for the tins.

 

The stereo needs a new perch cause I really need that spot! 

So far I've gotten the bench together.........yeah.                                        

Well, I did put it in it's place.

 

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Its off to work I goooo.....If I'm not back for dinner, send The G~Man a flare!

The Holiday Lag Day

 

Today is trying to get caught up and out of the lag day.

Finalizing Yulemas decoration put ups;

Scanning future projects for the blog so I can return the books to the Library;

Kids are in daycare, so I get to  grOOve along smoothly to My frantic tempo.

My Journal;

Dishes;

LEGOS LEGOS LEGOS and even,  more still....LEGOS!

Pine nEEdles;

sigh......I need a Dr Suess vaccuum cleaner.

But alas, I have not.

So whats a chick to do?

Slap on a Frownie, Crank up the music, and get to Hustling.
