...this week, is both brutally honest & embarrassingly messy;
Yup. That's it. Where the magic happens. I have a feeling there will be no "lovely space!" comments this week!
A closer look at the disaster zone (you may want to pop on your hardhats, lest some crafty debris fall on your head...);
A photo of Little Punk that is waiting for me to write it's accompanying letter so that it can be sent on it's way to The Boy's Mother, nestled, bizarrely, in a bowling bag full of felt.
Clockworks & painted canvas - the beginnings of an experiment or seven. I blame eBay for facilitating more craft expenditure.
One of many drawings, most not yet drawn, yearning to be made into a gift for my almost-nearly-just as well might be- brother in law.
One of many drawings, most not yet drawn, yearning to be made into a gift for my almost-nearly-just as well might be- brother in law.Obviously those three things do not a hideous crafting shamozzle make; also squished in & on my craft cabinet are the fixings for some Christmas decorations for a looming swap, button bracelet supplies & "miscellaneous".
Do head over to Kirsty's to see some neat, tidy & undoubtedly more inspiring Creative Spaces!
OK, so I had to say it...
ReplyDelete"What a lovely space!!!".
You shouldn't feel embarrassed at all. Your space looks busy and creative and messy (but good messy!) and full of exciting projects.
Clean desk = messy mind...
ReplyDeleteso messy desk = clear head???
Or something like that. LOL
Love the crazyness..you have lots of lovely going on :)...So enjoy looking at your drawings.
ReplyDeleteLooks great - lots of projects on the go. I've just cleaned up my space - it was amazing what I found - I'm sure it will be back to looking like yours by the end of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think it is quite lovely, what with all the making going on. I always think that works in plan and progress, have a certain beauty and I am fascinated by it. Thank you for feeling bold and sharing your creative space.
ReplyDeleteReally it is the same as mine. Well, not quite the same as I don't have a pic of Punky. (Cos that would be more than a little creepy for you wouldn't it?)
ReplyDeleteSomehow you make a little disorder still look amazing! I think it also shows that you are a busy person with lots going on! You should see my house...it's crazy. I've got too many fun things to do, rather than keep a gorgeously clean and tidy house. Have fun! xo
ReplyDeleteOooh I love the pumpkin tide, I hope you finish it and post a pic.
ReplyDeleteit is a lovely space, in all it's honest, creative glory!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking very familiar, you know! A lovely space can be a busy space too... at least that's what I keep telling myself when i look at my mess! (Ever wondered why I never show any photos of my work desk?) Have a great day :) K
ReplyDeletebusy and creative and wonderful and looks a lot like mine ~ I only photographed the nice bit!
ReplyDeletelike you I have photos hanging around in odd spots that need to be sent to relatives and a pile of stamped images I need to put together for a swap too!
Well I love you space!! And it's nice to see a messy space, as my space is never lovely and neat, i'm just not brave enough unlike you to show the mess.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing looks fantastic too.
It looks like my sons been at your house. I'll tell him to return to clean it up! LOL. Interested to see how that clock canvas works out. xo m.
ReplyDeleteI can't even get into my space (not for the last couple of weeks). All mine have been taken elsewhere as I take over the entire house with my crafty mess. Your space IS lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat looks familiar (the mess I mean!) Your projects are looking great.
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel right at home! Thanks Vic. Chant with me now, 'embrace the creative chaos... embrace the creative chaos...'

I love your honesty. I'm too embarrased to show mine at the moment. Protecting my blogutation I think. Good on you and that little Punky is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI still like it even if it's messy!! With mess comes creativity. Creatives are not the most tidy people either hehe... I know!!
ReplyDeletexo Steph
hehee, I love how you think it's messy yet we are all looking at your wonderful creative space thinking...wow!!
ReplyDeleteit's not messy..it's creativity in the making, love it ♥
i do love a good messy space :)
ReplyDeleteYep. It's chaotic. But it's also wonderfully creative, constructive and full of activity of all kinds. I love it.
ReplyDeleteBeauty (or loveliness) is in the eye of the beholder, and your space is lovely because lovely lovely things come out of it. Love the drawing!
ReplyDeleteMassive Thanks to everyone for making me feel less selfconcious about my messy ways... even if you are just saying it to make me feel better... I appreciate it... ;)
ReplyDeleteWas trying to swing by everybodie's places for personal thank yous & hellos & "lovely space"s, but I have had a very long day in the very hot sun & my head hurts very much & I am very tired & I am going to bed... uh... very shortly, so apologies to everyone I didn't make it to!!
xoxo
Ah Vic... Sigh, I feel better now!
ReplyDeleteLove a good crafty mess :D
ah, looks just like home. see curlypops for good mess discussion
ReplyDeleteas long as we come up with the goods every once in a while thats all that matters and finally grrrr ebay and their bloody midnight temptations
Your space is honestly so much tidier than mine (why do you think I only show a teeny tiny frame each week?!). It looks very productive if you ask me :)
ReplyDeleteNow I have a question ... maybe for offline. I am in love with your photography and was wondering if you would be generous enough to share a tip about some of your editing? Pretty please?
