It took me a long time to realize that crafty spaces remain a ‘work in progress’ - finding what REALLY works, ebbing and flowing with one’s interests or season in life, new or much improved products, etc. Love your new glass mat - so pretty! I use a glass topper from an old dresser with a gridded cutting mat underneath… definitely not pretty, but extremely functional as it spans across my entire work area (a section of countertop atop an old kitchen island). Several years ago, I splurged on the ‘latest and greatest’ extremely popular black glass mat. Disliked it intensely - too much glare and didn’t enjoy working on the black background. Due to the lamentable expense I spent six months trying to bring myself around, but no could do. The positive side of the experience - appreciating my makeshift setup all the more! Live, learn, change, grow, and find what works best for YOU!
I love your idea! Well done. It's true that crating is an ebb and flow and changes with our interests and circumstances. It's good to be flexible and creative as you were. Thanks so much for sharing your idea.
