Wow, Wednesday again - doesn't a week go fast?!! Happy WOYWW!! If you have arrived here from Julia's .... hello, welcome and thanks for popping in!!
Anyone who follows my little blog will know that my craft space is currently undergoing a much needed reorganisation and as part of this I have been going through my ever increasing pile of stash and having a big clear out and tidy up so that hopefully I'll spend less time trying to find stuff and more time actually crafting!! So, I thought you might like a nosy in some of my storage boxes and baskets!!
On the right is my fab little "cake stand", now standing on my lovely new Ikea Expedit unit, which makes a great place to keep my punches (these are just my favorites and most used punches - I will admit to having another box full as well!!) and the top tier holds some of my tapes and adhesives. Not sure where the others are .... probably still in my craft bag!!
The smaller of the two circular boxes (aren't they pretty?) stores my buttons and the bigger box is currently empty!! It used to have small packs of embellishments and odds and ends in it, but I've cleared it out as it was a complete mess and I've not yet decided what will go in it!!
I have 4 sets of these little drawers and love them. I keep my gems, pearls, journalling cards/spots/tags, chipboard shapes, nestabilities and journalling pens in these 2 units.
Oh my!! What a mess this basket is in!! This is the next one to be sorted. It is currently full of sheets of stickers, rub ons, embellishments and goodness knows what else!! This basket is where I used to put my new purchases and favourite embellishments and I kept it on my table so that it's contents were close to hand and more likely to get used. Just lately, it has got so full and untidy I tend to avoid it going near it because if I pull one thing out everything else falls out!!
I hope you've enjoyed just a little peek at some of my stash, I'm off now to make a cuppa and have a look around some more of your desks!

Ah, I know that feeling - the "this stuff is best" basket ends up being "don't touch it or it will explode" basket, like a house of cards. Its lovely to see inside your work space.
Hi Sarah. Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I had to come and have a nosey back!! I see you have one of those gorgeous cake stands, I've been on the look out for one of those but with no luck as yet.
Your space is looking gorgeous.
Happy WOYWW

Love your storage, Ikea Expedite(?) seems to be the crafters storage of choice!
I am so telling your daughter about the sausage rolls and the potatoe waffle and bacon sandwhich that my son had this morning! And the home made cakes in their luch boxes. Shall I go on or can I be bribed?
Thanks for stopping by my page!

Gorgeous storage especially that cake stand, its really beautiful :)
Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Karen #90
Hi there! Thank you for becoming my 70th follower, yay! I've returned the honour :)
Love that cakestand, the punches etc look so lovely in it and you can see at a glance what you're searching for! All my fabrics are in large plastic boxes, which isn't ideal as I keep forgetting what's at the bottom. On the other hand, I get some nice surprises when a long lost friend reappears :)
Hugs, LLJ ~58 xx

Love all the storage that's going on, I have one of those fab cake stands its great, I have joined as a follower so can visit again, Have a great week, Hugs May x x
I did enjoy the peek...and you remind me of something that I'm trying really hard not to do..store the same thing in two places...very guilty of thisith tape and foam pads in particular, and I could free up space for something else!
i keep a little basket like that on my desk...but mine has all the little bits that need to be reshelved after a project:(
I am not so good about doing this until the basket overflows.
Your space looks great.
Love the tiered baskets. i too have baskets like yours that constantly need re-organizing.
Fabulous to see your cake stand loaded - mine is the one the same and woefully under-used :( Laughed about the 'exploding basket' - got one just like it!
I'm a day late hopping back to say hi - must do better in future :( Di xx
Oooh love that cake stand, fab way to store fav punches! Thanks for sharing & enjoy this weeks WOYWW, I've been nosing around all the fab desks as I try to visit everyone! Zo x 83
Your basket looks great - with everything overflowing!! Love the cakestand and the punches. I so desperately searched for my corner rounder last weekend and could never find it.
Happy WOYWW

Fabulous storage! Kim
The cake stands is gorgeous, just perfect for all your punches.
Great storage ideas :) It'll be so lovely for you to use your new reorganised craft space. :)
Lovely fresh colours and so much clean space! Hope you are all sorted soon! Thanks for letting us look in and peek at your desk... Sarah at 7...
I also have boxes of stuff that is "too good" to use up, so it gradually gets pushed further and further back until it is lost. My resolution for this year is to use up all those 2keep for best" items. Do you think I wil make it? xx Maggie #89
I have lost count of who i have visited this week! I should have kept a better record of where i had been, Love that stand, with all the gorgeous punches, I have a basket similar to yours that i want to sort but dare not touch it! Hope you have a lovely weekend Lou x
That tiered basket is deceiving in size until you get to the bottom and see that it holds a few punches, goodluck with the renovations
