My Creative Space…

WIP shame.

With unpacking & re-organising has come the discovery of some Works In Progress I had totally forgotten about… so my space this week is going to document them so that perhaps I will feel some sort of obligation to get rid of them.

First things first however – I have to admit that there are only three WIPs to follow – but there most assuredly should be more. You see, I give up easily. If something is going completely & utterly wrong, or not turning out as I want it to… well… it’s GONE. And I feel no remorse. Ever. Which means, these three things hanging around require completion, of some sort, at some point.

I have allocated my wee little Sunjoy case (anybody with any clue as to what Sunjoy is/was yet?!) to be my WIP case of shame – it’s big enough to fit my current WIPs in, and maybe a couple more, but if it gets full – THAT’S IT. I’ll be putting my foot down… erm… with myself… and demanding action.

Right’o, enough waffle: What’s in the case:

wipshame

  • One vintage circular table cloth, with hole cut in the middle. Was thinking of making something a step up from this.
  • One Ruby doll in pieces, was excited from this, but then became…. less so.
  • One headless, armless, naked & faceless dolly – sister to my Softie for Mirabel, originally intended for Punky for Christmas. *coughs*

Another WIP is my actual crafty/creative space, the loft. It is coming along, but it’s not quite right yet. I do wish I had unlimited funds & easy IKEA access, but alas, I am having to make do with what I’ve got… just trying to tie it all together somehow…

  3. Your pictures are beautiful, so warm and inviting. I especially love the one of the stacked suitcases. You've got a wonderful talent there.

  4. I've been trying to get all my WIPs done before moving onto the next project. It's so hard sometimes as I get so excited about something new and push the poor WIP to the side!
    Hope you get to finish your WIPs

  5. Oh lordy, I got more WIPs than you can shake a stick at. From the photos it's looking like the loft is coming along nicely, I of course love the pile-o-suitcases and that wooden slotty thinger (paper/school work holder?), it is tres awesome!
    It takes me ages to set up a space. I move things then stare at them for a long time, then move them again and repeat. I find it's all a "work in progress" all the time...just like me:)

  9. I can completely relate to the WIP finds - only last night I pulled out two Lincraft bags - one with a half made dress, the other with a jacket cut out..oh dear - I'd forgotten they even existed!
    Love the stacked suitcases - what great colours!

  11. Girl, your WIP pile is laughably small. Your stack of suitcases, however, is superbly tall. IKEA is bland-tastic, so enjoy using what you've got and making an awesome space for yourself.

  12. I have lots of WIP's - I was thinking of doing a series of posts on each WIP with the hope it makes me finish them.

    Love the suitcases. :D

  13. The great thing about The Toy Society is that there is no time limit!

  14. Ahh yes, those pesky wittle wips can get a tad out of hand, can't they?!
    ...and a woman after my own heart with those lovely, lovely suitcases!! Now aren't they handy little devices sometimes? lol.

  16. I have a few WIPS in my closet too. You must get to that doll eventually because it looks like it's going to be very cute. xo m.

  19. Mate, you put me to SHAME. Shame, I say! Thousands of the WIP blighters if I cared to look - which I don't because I'm doing bigtime self-preservation denial.

  20. Frequently, I don't even get to the WIP stage - I'm guilt laden over the bucketloads of stash I have which have been purchased for particular projects, but which never quite got off the ground! Le sigh! Love your stack of cases :)

  21. I can never move house because I would be terrified at the amount of wip's I might uncover. Three is doable for sure. your space is looking lovely! I hope you get lots of chocky and have a great weekend. X

  22. Ooohhh if the outing and shaming of your WIP’s works for you I may just have to give that tactic a go! Love the stack of cases – sure they are not hiding even more unfinished projects??????
