Whats on your Workdesk? Wednesday 511 - new Craft Space - Island Paradise

Good afternoon Ladies of the Workdesk Wednesday.

I have missed doing the desk hop, and crafting.

The last time I posted here was on WOYWW 401 February 2017, I seem to be posting once a year since we had a life style change and moved to an idyllic island in Queensland. I must say I am surprised at how many desks have dropped off, there used to be over 100 postings.

I also started a new job with the Australian Federal Government whilst we were in the process of buying our house which took 7 months from go to woe. Surely was a hectic time and took up much of any play time I had.

1.5 years later after our move I finally got to unpacking my 100 boxes of craft staff in the new house and boy was I motivated and seemed to have a lot of energy. I worked 7 days a week, 11 hours on some days, 9 on others. I think I was living on adrenaline. My feet hurt some days but I wore good shoes and drank so much.  

So much has happened since the move as you can read in previous posts. 

We should have moved to the Islands a long time ago, we would have had quality of life earlier, not to mention the houses would have been cheaper to buy.

Firstly thanks to Maxine and Nil for suggesting photo editors, I went with this one because it was easiest to work FOTOR

Anyway here are some photos of my new craft room 

These boxes were moved to the dining room until I could make space in the garage to unpack them to.

Boxes in the garage

The garage with all the boxes out of it. This door will have a screen over it so I can open it up and get some air inside when I am crafting on my own.

The floor came up well with just some mopping

The table had a glass top but I sold it at the old house, I found it cumbersome. This is the formal dining room which we dont use so I claimed it as my working craftroom for when friends come around.  The garage set up will be where I craft with my projects so I dont have to pack up and tidy up and make room when a friend/s come over to play. The table was set up for my friend Faye to come and craft with me. I needed a break from unpacking and just to chill. Faye wanted to colour in so I brought out all my colouring medium so she could test it out.

I forgot to take a photo of when we were crafting to see our mess creativity. LOL

This is the garage space at the moment, I have yet to tidy up and put stuff in their places but I needed to finalise the dining room craft space first before I could move anything. I still have 5 boxes to unpack.

 I lost 5 kgs in the process over about 4 weeks.

Next weekend I am going to a craft camp in Brookfield. I went once before about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Who doesn't - when someone else cooks all the meals and all you do is craft to your hearts content. It goes from Friday 9am - Sunday afternoon.  Can't wait and will have photos to show.

I hope to post regularly now that I have less shifts at work and I found an online Photo Editor
