Craft corner

For those of you who have followed this little blog for a little while, you'll know that I enjoy crafting. I may not have amazing skills but I can stick paper to card and create some nice card designs and have lots of ideas wandering in and out my head on a daily basis. Ask my husband, I'm always moving ornaments around the house or coming up with some crazy idea involving buttons (I really love my buttons and once spent £30 in one day on them - really!).

I took the plunge and went to two craft fairs with my humble stall of occasion cards and various homely nik naks before Ethan was born and was pleased with how it went. I had some lovely comments and turned a modest profit so what more could I ask for?

I have only made a couple of cards since little man was born but I'm keen to get crafting again to keep my creative juices flowing and I've been inspired by Homemaker and Craftseller magazines. Blogging helps me keep up with my love of writing whilst on maternity leave but I like to make things too.

So to help me organise my ideas and my hoard of scrap papers, felts, bows, buttons, ribbons and whatnot, I went on the hunt for a bureau to turn one alcove in our dining room into a craft corner.

And I found the perfect little workstation - isn't it cute? I love the fact it's a heritage piece of furniture and like the painted finish, which looks kitch and perfect in our dining room.

I've added some of my favourite craft sources and a polka dot pinboard a friend bought me and voila! I have myself a cool little craft corner. What do you think?

I have my next craft fair in two weeks - I better get crafting!
