Aren't my new drawers fabulous! My craft room doubles as the dining end of my living room, so when craft stuff threatens to take over my whole living space looks messy. I bought one of these units last September and quickly figured that I could fit 3 of them in where I currently had a low blanket box. It took a while to save for 2 more units but I finally got them last week and have spent most of the past week arranging and rearranging. Everything had a knock on effect so if I moved some stuff into a drawer I ended up having to sort out the cupboard that that stuff had come from. I now have fewer bits of storage all over the place but I doubt that will last long. I just have 2 drawers still empty (and they're the shallow 1 inch ones) and I've bought yet more stuff this week. I'm beginning to think this craft obsession is a life threatening affliction!
And I've been so busy sorting and tidying on top of all the usual work, house, garden chores that I haven't had time to do any actual creating. Fabric and stitching haven't had a look in for what feels like months. The Take it Further challenge has been abandoned I'm ashamed to say and I've only done the odd bit of stamping. I did make this which was quite fun and it's being displayed on top of the posh drawers for the moment:

I love your posh drawers. Where did you get them? I need some new storage.
:-) I know that feeling - we have a one bed flat and way too much craft stuff in it!!
love the drawers.. I could use some of that organisation!
Wow! Great project. Is it a screen? Not sure of the scale from the photo. I love the stamps you've used - especially the masks/flourishes/arch. Haven't seen them before. Would love to get my inky paws on some like these. I'm checking out your storage too but I think I might need to move house before I'd be allowed anything like that!
I'm just having a look through your posts and this one especially drew me. Your screen is lovely and as for the drawers...envy!
What a wonderful creation, great architectural feel to it, really super! Speaking of super, your storage units are amazing! I am so far gone on the organization front....it's chaos here. I keep telling myself as long as good things keep coming out of my studio, I don't mind.....but it's getting pretty bad. Your word "affliction" is pretty accurate LOL
It is, indeed a life threatening affliction - or maybe just life long. anyway, just for fun, in composing a magazine article - after going through my own stash and descending in madness, I paraphrased the AA 12 steps to recovery. Not sure I really want to recover, tho. "Admitted I am powerless over threads and beads and stuff."
