Organizing That Craft Studio, a Possible Resource I Hope!

| 4 Comments

I just ordered this special issue from the Interweave magazine, Cloth Paper Scissors. According to the blurb on its web site, “Cloth Paper Scissors brings you a special issue dedicated to creating beautiful, inviting, unique, and functional studios for making collages, quilts, handmade books, and other types of fiber and mixed-media art.”

Here is what looks like the Table of Contents for this issue, again from the web site:

With shipping, it came to $13, so even if I get just a few good ideas, I think that’s worth the price. It doesn’t come out until Summer 2009, so that means it’s pre-orders only right now. Considering the pace I’m at getting this studio in shape, I think I can wait.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.

  1. Wow, dare to dream, I love that studio on the cover!! If only……I had more energy and time!!! Maybe this is when you have to make the decision to make the time and the energy will follow…

  2. I’ve been slowing reorganizing since the summer. I figure I don’t need to be on any specific time table for it, as long as I see some progress. Whenever I do have a break from school, I try to accomplish small goals related to it, and I have seen some progress. It is so much easier to work when you have a well-organized (or in my case semi-organized) space.
