Nina! I love your space. I usually start to tidy up when I can't think of what to do. Then pick up a piece of paper that inspires me and off we go. Cleaning up is a creative act in itself ❤
Love your organized space. It is a wonderful feeling being organized. I love the way you can see everything you might need. I have things hidden in drawers so having bins you can see through is great. Thanks Nina for the tour and tips on organizing. Everything out in the open.❤
It’s been so validating for me to see your craft studio and all your supplies! Very much like mine! When things start getting really messy I find myself engaged in negative self talk, you know….I’m so messy, I’m doing it all wrong, I’m a hoarder, I shouldn’t have so much…. So thank you Nina, this is just what it looks like when we are creative in this way!❤❤❤❤❤
I know, they act that way to me, too. I have come to see it’s jealousy ( maybe unconscious), those who act that way to me won’t free themselves to do what they want. Let’s carry on anyway❣️It makes us happy!
Omgoodness! Denise!Your words are my words! I feel like I have so much stuff that I have been collecting for my retirement time… and now I’m wondering if I will get to use it all. I’ve slowed down a bit and I don’t like it. lol. But Nina it was very validating for me also! Thanks for sharing and helping me to realize some things…if I use it I use it. If I don’t I don’t. :). All I know is that I get joy from creating AND that is enough! 💖
Hi Nina: Your craft room is fabulous! You did a great job organizing. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. Actually, a very pleasing experience. Clears the mind and makes you feel good. 💜😎🇺🇸
Although my room is still cluttered, I did add some labeling/organization. One blessing for me is shelves on wheels, table on wheels. Then I can push one out of my way when necessary. Lazy susans near me are so helpful as our shelves when I turn my chair around. Yes, wheels again. Oh, the joy of taking time to organize and toss/donate is well worth it. Well done video. We all see the humaness in each other in these kind of videos. As someone said: We are the same just "organized" differently.
What an absolutely wonderful craft room! Well done on having a massive clearout and tidy. I thought that I had heaps of art and craft supplies but you have way more than me! Good luck to you. I hope that you enjoy your peaceful space making more crafty projects. Well deserved. bye Karen.
Organized clutter, my favorite phrase. But more than that, I watch many creative women/men and know them by their voice. I am so glad that I have a beautiful face to attach to your easy going voice.
Thank you Nina for the tour of your craft room which is now very organized…I did the same a few months ago and it is such a wonderful uplifting feeling when you have completed it. It certainly is a happy space especially when you have senses burning and music playing, I love it 🥰🌷❤️🌺
There is nothing like a good clear out to get the creative juices flowing. Funnily enough I tidied all my craft drawers out and it's surprising what you find. I too got rid of stuff I had since I started in 2015 and knew I would never use. We get so attached to our craft babies it does get hard to part with it. Tfs xo
Great to see you looking well and inspired in your neat and organized crafty space. Do you have the same problem I always have after I organize of finding something you normally just reach out and grab? Thanks Nina, have a wonderful week. Give Louie and Toby some love from me.❤❤
Thanks Debbie. I have kept pretty much everything in the same place as it was before so hopefully that won’t be a problem. I’ve just thinned it down a lot and got rid of the things I was hoarding but deep down knew I would never use. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders to finally have it organised again. Hope all is well your end and you are making progress health wise. Have a great week ❤️❤️
Oh Nina, Your craft room is so fantastic and tidy, I have a spare bedroom as a craft room. I tidied up not so long ago and now it is finally creeping up to be messy again. I know when it gets out of hand I can’t do any crafting because my desk is a mess and I lose interest. You have inspired me to keep on top of it.
So much stuff:) If were you, I would put that wool into a plastic container or you are going to have moth holes. If you can get your hands on a pattern cabinet, they are wonderful for junky craft supplies because the drawers can handle a lot of weight and they can be pulled out all the way so you can see all your stuff. As a fellow multi crafter I also find that labeling (hand written and large for me) helps keep up with things. Another hint is to number boxes, and in a book, write the entire contents of the box. This has saved hours of hunting for me...thanks for the tour...
Great job. I have been working on my stash as well. I decided to have a craft room and a sewing room since I need to be able to keep the cats out of things. It feels good to donate items to the school and charity shop. Thanks for sharing. Happy creating!
You have a great craft room Nina; and so many supplies. I think it’s always so interesting to see how everyone organizes their craft space and supplies. Thanks for sharing this with us; very inspirational, as are all of your wonderful videos.
Nice to see your craftroom again, it looks just great. I love it when a craftroom doesn't look like a fancy artshop. Your's is organized but inspiring and ready to go. And you look fabulous yourself Nina! ❤
Thank you for the tour, you done amazing with organising, a craft room task that is niggling me while I try to finish decorating the hall. Of all the things to see I noticed the cream carpet 😮in a craft room! I so want to be the person who could do that but sadly I'm a messy one. It's a beautiful space, Tobys cat flap is perfect 💖 and you look wonderful, happy decluttered craft room 🌷
Great job! I need to have a tidy, most crafters would say that! I completely understand how a tidy space makes it easier and more enjoyable to work in. Love your space👏👏👏💕
It’s so much better now, and because it’s either open or clear storage I can see where everything is. For me out of sight is out of mind. Good luck with your space ❤️
This video took my breathed away! You are amazing. I have just started paper crafting and am so unorganized. I look forward to following your lead and create a craft room that is relaxing. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your special place. You have definitely put a lot of thought into the reorganization and its function. Happy crafting! Love your projects and inspiration.❤
Hi Nina, I've been binge watching your videos 😊, when you have a page in the Daphne's diary and you can't bring yourself to cut into it, photo copy the page and cut away. Also, when you are measuring your pages, try using a piece of vellum or acetate of the same size as a template then you can actually see what you will get. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed walking around your lovely craft room. I wish I could say that I’m inspired but, I’m not sure that’s true. My space is very limited and in need of a radical overhaul without me being able to see it!!!!!!! But, that’s not going to happen. As I’ve always said you are such an inspiration to me, I will try to at least get some order out of the chaos that’s here😂😂. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
First and foremost, let me say you look fantastic! This visit from you was delightful. I loved being invited into your crative space. Your room is beautiful! You must be a wizard to have gotten it started, and sorted while your husband was away. I find now that I am older, if I move something, or donate supplies I need to write it down in my craft log. Otherwise I spend time looking for things I no longer own. LOL. Fir me, Everything needs to be labeled, too! We are blessed to have been crafting so long that we have such a great store house if goodies. Happy crafting. TFS. 🙏🥰
Awww, thank you Evelyn. I feel very well thank you. It took me 3 weeks in total to get my craft room organized, but that first week on my own whilst hubby was away was a Godsend. I have all of my jewellery supplies labelled by colour and or category, but the rest I know I will be able to find easily now. We accumulate so much don’t we and as well as regular cleaning and tidying, we need a major clear out every few years to get things in order don’t we. Or at least I do anyway. Hope you have a wonderful week ❤️ xo
My craft space was purpose built by my husband and son …. Looks remarkably similar😂! I can totally relate to that feeling … mine is my “ happy space” … strangely overwhelming. Here’s to crafting 😀
I loved seeing your craft room - it’s so lovely and organised. My crafting space is my she-shed in the summer, and I have space in our spare bedroom in the winter, so I have to move my materials between the two, in the spring and autumn! I spotted the Mermaid Gin bottle - they’re beautiful 😍 We bought a blue one when we visited the distillery on the Isle of Wight & it now has lights in it ☺️ xx
Nina…you did a fantastic job of organizing and decluttering. I did the same thing this winter..l had a chuckle at the number of car loads to the thrift store you took…same as l..in fact l lost count 😂😀👍❤️ My room now is clutter free and spacious 👍… My Nick name is Nina… the youngest of three in an Italian home in Canada
It's impressive, Nina and you've obviously put a lot of effort into organising your things. I'm full of admiration and it's something I'm going to have to do pretty soon because we're going to be downsizing and moving house. Thanks for your tour. I'm going to have to be tough and get rid of lots too!
Hi Nina, such a lovely tour and craft room. I always feel more inspired when ive had a tidy up. Looking forward to more making from your lovely studio 💕
Thank you Anne. It’s a job I’d been putting off for a long while. I simply accumulated too much stuff and ran out of space to put it! Hope you have a wonderful week 💕
Thanks for showing us around your creative space, Nina. It's lovely to see you reinvigorated after your craft room purge and tidy up. Here's to many more happy hours of creativity in your special place. X
Hi Nina… good for you!!! I can only imagine how good it feels to have decluttered and organized your remaining supplies! My dream is a place for everything and everything in its place! Thanks for the tour! Have a wonderful week!!! =)
Hi Nina what a beautiful craft room !!! I think I should tide too to clean ...........my head !!! very happy to see you, you're wonderful !! cheers from France
Organized clutter is what makes us happy, once we reorganize. I’m slowly unpacking and placing my supplies where I want them. I am waiting for Erin (Miss Organization,) to come and help me with details. I’m loving having so much more space, not only for my art room, but I also have an adjoining “attic space” behind a door, which is allowing me to keep all the things needing to be unpacked or placed in the right spot. I can see why you feel so at home in your space, as it is quite cozy with all your wonderful stuff! Still hoping to visit one day with Alan and come see you and your space. Take care, my friend.
Wow what a difference from a previous craft room video of yours. I can see how you must feel lighter and find things more accessible. Love your videos.
I love your craft room and it looks great and very neat and tidy. It has been very helpful as you know I'm in the process of sorting my revamp out. I will show it when the next phase is finished. In September he will be coming over to put my new floor down. So looking forward to it getting done. 😊😊 So much organising still to do yet!! You look very well ❤️☺️💐
Good morning nina, happy lady in your newly organised craftroom.....something we all can relate to, having to organise it from time to time. It always brings you things that you had forgotten about and that resparkle your inspiration, it brings peace in your head, it brings choises, what to keep and what not....loved you when you said, you moved rhe sewingmachine, so you would'nt wake up Toby and I was wondering was louie with you, jumping into boxes when you emptied them, curious of all the stuff surrounding you?? It was nice to see you, you look so good, makes me feel happy my friend. I send you a big hug and wish you a good week and enjoy the good things summer saved for us.xxxlena❤❤
Hello dear Lena. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I keep coming into my space just to look around as it’s inspiring once again. It’s also a safe space for Toby now as everything has been lifted from his level. Louie is always outside all day during these warmer months, so no, he was nowhere in sight. Too busy mousing in the fields haha. Sending you a big as well and a wonderful week ahead ❤️ xxxxxx
inspiration to over hull my studio. I am very lucky to have a huge studio , but the bigger it is the more clutter and a huge horder. Hugs Nina from Canada
Thank you for sharing. I love being able to see how you store everything. You have such a lovely craft room. I didn’t realise different heat tools do different things. I think I need to look into that as I have the ranger heat tool and an Anita’s one from when I first starting crafting. I didn’t realise they could differ. Thanks for the insight xxx
Here’s a little tip for everyone: when I need a box or container for my supplies, I use lovely napkins and decoupage all over the container I want to use. I now have over 20 lovely containers holding supplies. I use cookie or cracker boxes, cereal boxes, some Amazon boxes, whatever I can find.🤩
I’m in the process now of purging and organizing…it’s been fun seeing what I have and forgot about! Slow process but it will get done! Great video and thanks for sharing with us! By the way…you look great! Continued good health! Hugs from Virginia USA!
FABULOUS!! Such an inspiration! I recently just mass-moved my creative space upstairs and it is a disaster! Thank you! Thank you for the inspirations!! Just lovely!!
I love your creative space! I'm still trying to organize and clear up parts of my house after years of ADHD cluttering and it's really quite difficult. It sounds like you did a whole lot and I'm so proud of you! Honestly, your craft room looks GREAT. I hope to have mine in a similar state of tidiness in the future. Fingers crossed! Love your videos!
When we accumulate a lot of stuff, it becomes very overwhelming and difficult to deal with. I wish you luck with your organising and decluttering. I know that it’s not an easy task ❤️
Lovely space, Nina. I did the same a while ago too. My craft room is also my office and mother cave. I added a jute rug and have my recliner chair in there as well. You've inspired me to put my incense in there, though. Hope you're fighting fit, kiddo. Give the fur babies a cuddle for me. Veronica x
Beautiful room! Put wheels on the shelf by the french doors. I needed the storage space also, so I made sure that whatever was in front of the door had wheels. 😁
Thank you for showing your space, Nina! It’s very motivating for all of us to declutter and organize our spaces. I feel the same way when I go through a cleanup - so much more inclined to create and have a feeling of peace and calm💖
Hello Nina! How lovely to see you and your craft room! I don't like chaos around me either, but it always seems to find its way in my little craft room. I still need to find storage for things that always end up on my desk creating a mess. I especially love the little drawers you bought from Costco. They seem deep and wide without being too big. Something like that would be great on my desk! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!😊
Hello Nathalie. I’ve had the Costco drawers for about 3 years and they’ve made a massive difference to the clutter on my desk. I’m hoping the tall bookcase next to my desk which holds my current journals will help keep my desk clear as well 🤞😘
I just want to say - I'm not only astonished by your journaling talent, I'm jealous of your amazing hair! 😄 Mine is in that weird in-between stage of half-brown half-gray and I have about 20 different hair textures I'm trying to wrangle into some type of style, but generally speaking I just look wild and frizzy! I love your room. It's beautiful and relatable. My family tries to make me feel guilty about all the "stuff" I have, but I'm getting better at ignoring them. 😂
Thanks so much for your kind comment about my hair. I decided to go totally grey during lockdown as it was impossible to get to the hairdressers for my usual highlights to disguise the grey. I was amazed that when the highlights grew out I was grey all over. It’s got more silvery in colour ever since. I’m also glad to say that my family are very understanding about the clutter in my craft room, although my son came over last week and was astonished to see how tidy it now is 😂
Hi Nina you are looking terrific, good to see you. What a chore it is, My room is a mess, I'm not a good "putter awayer"!!!! I had a thought about the shelves by your french doors, if you put wheeels on the shelves you could wheel them over to the side on a nice sunny day and get a breeze. I will definately imagine the lovely aromas from your incense etc. when I see your next video. Have a wonderful week hugs for Louie and Toby.
Hello, you could pop caster wheels on that bookcase in front of the French doors to be able to move it? I did this on the 4x1 kallax unit from ikea (set up vertically) so now it can be moved around, pushed up against other shelves for storage at the end of the day but pulled out for access, and I popped peg boards on each of the 2 solid sides to maximise storage potential 👌
I keep putting of clearing my craft space but you have inspired me. It looks a very organised and relaxed space. Also you look glowing. Thanks for getting me started 😊
Nina,thank you for the tour. I'm the same.I have soooo many supplies and they are in such disarray. I gave up my craft room when my husband started working from home so that he could have a functional office and most of my supplies went in the basement. I do have a space down there for crafting, but health issues have kept me from organizing it and now going down there just overwhelms me. This has given me the incentive and motivation to get down there and get it done. 👍🏾 Can I ask where you got the holder for your Distress inks? Love that and the way everything has it's own drawer and is easily accessible. On a side note and totally unrelated,I love your beautiful curls.❤
Lovely to see where a fellow crafter works. I thought I was the only one with " too much stuff"😂. Is your printer a laser printer? I'm looking for a new printer myself and wondered what your take is on laser ones. Thank you for showing your storage ideas. Hope you're keeping well. X❤
Thanks Nina. That was very inspiring and motivational. I love your craft room. Yesterday I upended two rooms yesterday for some legal documentation. Your uncluttered space today has fired me up to get things organised. And not just in my craft room. Thank you. 😘💕
I bet it's a great feeling! I'm so happy for you. 😊 I moved and still haven't been able to finish sorting and organizing things... it is driving me crazy. 🙃
Nina, What a fun world you have to craft in. I love watching craft room tours. I’m curious, what types of things do you have ready made for happy mail? Great seeing you🤗💖🦋
It's very nice to "see" you! I definitely need to purge and clean my room. The last time I did that, I pulled everything out and quickly became overwhelmed. 😧 I ended up keeping more than I should because I just wanted it put away at a certain point. I think I'll just do sections at a time next go round and be more selective. 😊 Your room is nice and airy. And CLEAN! I enjoyed your tour very much! 🩷
Thank you so much. It took me 3 weeks to get it to this stage and I agree with you, it becomes such a horrible mess in the process that you wish you hadn’t started! It’s so nice seeing it clean, tidy and organised again though, this time I’m determined to keep on top of things ❤️
Fabulous craft space. I wish I could tidy my little space but is is so small there is no way it could hold all the things I woud like it to. Happy crafting 🙂
Exceptional! Excellent job and very inspiring! Now, when are you coming to Seattle to help me clear out my space? 😏😂 Have a great week and head scratches and tummy rubs to Louie and Toby! 👍✌️❤️😊
So nice to see you in your video, you look great! Your craft room is so tidy, my problem is that if I put things away, I forget to use them or can’t find them! I need to organize it like a store and pull the things I need for a project instead of having everything at hand, that might give me a less cluttered space like yours! I think we all have too many creative avenues as we go through our phases but that’s ok, we are curators of art supplies!🤣🤣💕🇨🇦
It’s a constant battle isn’t it Cindy. I do find having open shelves and clear crates easier to manage as I can see what’s in there. Out of sight out of mind 💕
Hi Nina 👋 I have been watching your video for a bit now and love how you create. It's nice to put a face to the voice, you are so lovely, when I first started showing my face on RUclips i was so nervous😅 You have a beautiful space, may I ask why you wouldn't create infront of the window instead to have natural lighting? I would love to have natural lighting when I create videos, I always have a glare with my lighting. You have a beautiful craftroom!!❤
You have a lovely bright space there Nina and you make me feel better as you have far more stuff than I do 🤣😂 I keep saying I need to have a clean up and clear out but never get around to doing it. I’m sure it’s an addiction. We really are craftaholics xx
Haha! Thanks Lyn. It’s one of those jobs that we all put off because it’s such a Mammoth task and always looks far worse before it gets any better! So glad I did it though ❤️ xx

Love the tour…I think I spend equal time organizing and crafting and I love them both and the peace they bring me.
Thanks Noreen. Everything has a space now so it will be easy to keep on top of 💕
😲 oohhhh, a disturbed big spider in the green drawer! He loves your room also, as i do. 🤗
Thank goodness I didn’t see it. I’d have freaked out 😳
I freaked out😭😭@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia
Believe me, I noticed him too! A did a little jump-scare! 😅
The spider freaked me out for sure!😵💫

I know, they act that way to me, too. I have come to see it’s jealousy ( maybe unconscious), those who act that way to me won’t free themselves to do what they want. Let’s carry on anyway❣️It makes us happy!
Yes it does, and I think majority of us are the same. Just enjoy your supplies ❤️
@@dfree1here People who are not crafters or mixed media simply will never understand why we need the things we need.

My craft space was purpose built by my husband and son …. Looks remarkably similar😂! I can totally relate to that feeling … mine is my “ happy space” … strangely overwhelming. Here’s to crafting 😀
I loved seeing your craft room - it’s so lovely and organised. My crafting space is my she-shed in the summer, and I have space in our spare bedroom in the winter, so I have to move my materials between the two, in the spring and autumn! I spotted the Mermaid Gin bottle - they’re beautiful 😍 We bought a blue one when we visited the distillery on the Isle of Wight & it now has lights in it ☺️ xx
Nina…you did a fantastic job of organizing and decluttering. I did the same thing this winter..l had a chuckle at the number of car loads to the thrift store you took…same as l..in fact l lost count 😂😀👍❤️
My room now is clutter free and spacious 👍…

It's impressive, Nina and you've obviously put a lot of effort into organising your things. I'm full of admiration and it's something I'm going to have to do pretty soon because we're going to be downsizing and moving house. Thanks for your tour. I'm going to have to be tough and get rid of lots too!
I've been decluttering my craft space lately and just keeping things I'm using right now as I'm downsizing to a smaller space in the next few years!
Hi Nina, such a lovely tour and craft room. I always feel more inspired when ive had a tidy up. Looking forward to more making from your lovely studio 💕
Thank you Anne. It’s a job I’d been putting off for a long while. I simply accumulated too much stuff and ran out of space to put it! Hope you have a wonderful week 💕
What a beautiful space! Great job of making sense of all the bits & bobs.
Thanks for showing us around your creative space, Nina. It's lovely to see you reinvigorated after your craft room purge and tidy up. Here's to many more happy hours of creativity in your special place. X
Thank you! Feeling so much better after taking the time to do it ❤️
Hi Nina… good for you!!! I can only imagine how good it feels to have decluttered and organized your remaining supplies! My dream is a place for everything and everything in its place! Thanks for the tour! Have a wonderful week!!! =)
Thanks Sue. It feels wonderful to finally have it organised properly again ❤️
Hi Nina what a beautiful craft room !!! I think I should tide too to clean ...........my head !!!
very happy to see you, you're wonderful !!
cheers from France
Organized clutter is what makes us happy, once we reorganize. I’m slowly unpacking and placing my supplies where I want them. I am waiting for Erin (Miss Organization,) to come and help me with details. I’m loving having so much more space, not only for my art room, but I also have an adjoining “attic space” behind a door, which is allowing me to keep all the things needing to be unpacked or placed in the right spot. I can see why you feel so at home in your space, as it is quite cozy with all your wonderful stuff! Still hoping to visit one day with Alan and come see you and your space. Take care, my friend.
Wow what a difference from a previous craft room video of yours. I can see how you must feel lighter and find things more accessible. Love your videos.
Thanks Ishka 🌸
I love your craft room and it looks great and very neat and tidy. It has been very helpful as you know I'm in the process of sorting my revamp out.
I will show it when the next phase is finished. In September he will be coming over to put my new floor down. So looking forward to it getting done. 😊😊 So much organising still to do yet!! You look very well ❤️☺️💐
Good morning nina, happy lady in your newly organised craftroom.....something we all can relate to, having to organise it from time to time. It always brings you things that you had forgotten about and that resparkle your inspiration, it brings peace in your head, it brings choises, what to keep and what not....loved you when you said, you moved rhe sewingmachine, so you would'nt wake up Toby and I was wondering was louie with you, jumping into boxes when you emptied them, curious of all the stuff surrounding you?? It was nice to see you, you look so good, makes me feel happy my friend. I send you a big hug and wish you a good week and enjoy the good things summer saved for us.xxxlena❤❤
Hello dear Lena. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I keep coming into my space just to look around as it’s inspiring once again. It’s also a safe space for Toby now as everything has been lifted from his level. Louie is always outside all day during these warmer months, so no, he was nowhere in sight. Too busy mousing in the fields haha. Sending you a big as well and a wonderful week ahead ❤️ xxxxxx
Thank you so much Nina for sharing your space.
inspiration to over hull my studio. I am very lucky to have a huge studio , but the bigger it is the more clutter and a huge horder. Hugs Nina from Canada
So nice to see your craft space. And so nice to see you look so well. ❤
Thanks so much Joanne ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I love being able to see how you store everything. You have such a lovely craft room. I didn’t realise different heat tools do different things. I think I need to look into that as I have the ranger heat tool and an Anita’s one from when I first starting crafting. I didn’t realise they could differ. Thanks for the insight xxx
Here’s a little tip for everyone: when I need a box or container for my supplies, I use lovely napkins and decoupage all over the container I want to use. I now have over 20 lovely containers holding supplies. I use cookie or cracker boxes, cereal boxes, some Amazon boxes, whatever I can find.🤩
I bet they look so pretty ❤️
I’m in the process now of purging and organizing…it’s been fun seeing what I have and forgot about! Slow process but it will get done! Great video and thanks for sharing with us! By the way…you look great! Continued good health! Hugs from Virginia USA!
Thank you so very much for sharing your awesome space 😮. I love how you organized everything. Wishing you the very best 🥰🤗
FABULOUS!! Such an inspiration! I recently just mass-moved my creative space upstairs and it is a disaster! Thank you! Thank you for the inspirations!! Just lovely!!
Loved seeing how you organize everything!
Really enjoyed this. That is one heavy book!😉 Thanks for sharing!
A great video! Thank you. It has encouraged me to continue with my massive clearout! 😊
You are absolutely lovely! Your craft room is pretty nice too!
Hello Beautiful Lady! Lovely arrangement. Your studio has such great light. It is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I am now inspired to tidy!!!
Thanks so much Steph and good luck with your tidying!
Your room looks lovely. You did an amazing job.
Thank you so much ❤️
thank you for sharing. it always feels better after a tidy up and re organizing session. Just want to say the blue butterfly box is beautiful.
Thanks Laura, yes the butterfly box is beautiful 🦋
I love your creative space! I'm still trying to organize and clear up parts of my house after years of ADHD cluttering and it's really quite difficult. It sounds like you did a whole lot and I'm so proud of you! Honestly, your craft room looks GREAT. I hope to have mine in a similar state of tidiness in the future. Fingers crossed! Love your videos!
When we accumulate a lot of stuff, it becomes very overwhelming and difficult to deal with. I wish you luck with your organising and decluttering. I know that it’s not an easy task ❤️
Lovely space, Nina. I did the same a while ago too. My craft room is also my office and mother cave. I added a jute rug and have my recliner chair in there as well. You've inspired me to put my incense in there, though. Hope you're fighting fit, kiddo. Give the fur babies a cuddle for me. Veronica x
Thanks Veronica, yes I’m fighting fit ❤️
I love a look at your craft space. Great job on organizing and making the space work for you !
Thanks Patricia. This is the best I’ve ever had it organised ❤️
Beautiful room! Put wheels on the shelf by the french doors. I needed the storage space also, so I made sure that whatever was in front of the door had wheels. 😁
That’s a great idea ❤️
Thank you for showing your space, Nina! It’s very motivating for all of us to declutter and organize our spaces. I feel the same way when I go through a cleanup - so much more inclined to create and have a feeling of peace and calm💖
Thanks Martha, I’m so glad I took the time to do it properly and to finally have my creativity back ❤️
Hello Nina! How lovely to see you and your craft room! I don't like chaos around me either, but it always seems to find its way in my little craft room. I still need to find storage for things that always end up on my desk creating a mess. I especially love the little drawers you bought from Costco. They seem deep and wide without being too big. Something like that would be great on my desk! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!😊
Hello Nathalie. I’ve had the Costco drawers for about 3 years and they’ve made a massive difference to the clutter on my desk. I’m hoping the tall bookcase next to my desk which holds my current journals will help keep my desk clear as well 🤞😘
Thanx for the creative maker tour! It’s always inspiring to hang out with other creative makers.😸❤️🌸
This is so inspiring, Nina! I'm looking forward to lots of projects with you in the future! Hugs! Peggy
I just want to say - I'm not only astonished by your journaling talent, I'm jealous of your amazing hair! 😄 Mine is in that weird in-between stage of half-brown half-gray and I have about 20 different hair textures I'm trying to wrangle into some type of style, but generally speaking I just look wild and frizzy! I love your room. It's beautiful and relatable. My family tries to make me feel guilty about all the "stuff" I have, but I'm getting better at ignoring them. 😂
Thanks so much for your kind comment about my hair. I decided to go totally grey during lockdown as it was impossible to get to the hairdressers for my usual highlights to disguise the grey. I was amazed that when the highlights grew out I was grey all over. It’s got more silvery in colour ever since. I’m also glad to say that my family are very understanding about the clutter in my craft room, although my son came over last week and was astonished to see how tidy it now is 😂
You have a very nice studio. Clearing out is necessary sometimes, just for your creativity, if nothing else.
Hi Nina you are looking terrific, good to see you. What a chore it is, My room is a mess, I'm not a good "putter awayer"!!!! I had a thought about the shelves by your french doors, if you put wheeels on the shelves you could wheel them over to the side on a nice sunny day and get a breeze. I will definately imagine the lovely aromas from your incense etc. when I see your next video. Have a wonderful week hugs for Louie and Toby.
Thanks Christie, that’s a great idea. I do open the doors on the occasional day the weather is warm enough here 😘
You’ve inspired me to get busy! Thanks!
Hello Nina, what an amazing space you have! I find having a good sort out very therapeutic! Thank you for sharing ❤xx
Thanks Andrea, it feels so much better now it’s organised again ❤️ xx
Hello, you could pop caster wheels on that bookcase in front of the French doors to be able to move it? I did this on the 4x1 kallax unit from ikea (set up vertically) so now it can be moved around, pushed up against other shelves for storage at the end of the day but pulled out for access, and I popped peg boards on each of the 2 solid sides to maximise storage potential 👌
Thanks for sharing your special space with us. You have things well organized at this point.
I keep putting of clearing my craft space but you have inspired me. It looks a very organised and relaxed space. Also you look glowing. Thanks for getting me started 😊
Thank you Mary. It’s such a good feeling to be organised again. Good luck with yours ❤️
I started last night and already feels better. It’s raining later so I’m going to be creative 😃
I inspired by your craft area. I will get started! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! We all are a work in progress, you are such a joy!🌞🫶🦋
It’s never ending! Thanks so much for your kind comment 🌸
Nina,thank you for the tour. I'm the same.I have soooo many supplies and they are in such disarray. I gave up my craft room when my husband started working from home so that he could have a functional office and most of my supplies went in the basement. I do have a space down there for crafting, but health issues have kept me from organizing it and now going down there just overwhelms me. This has given me the incentive and motivation to get down there and get it done. 👍🏾 Can I ask where you got the holder for your Distress inks? Love that and the way everything has it's own drawer and is easily accessible. On a side note and totally unrelated,I love your beautiful curls.❤
You have a great space❣️ TFS
Lovely to see where a fellow crafter works. I thought I was the only one with " too much stuff"😂. Is your printer a laser printer? I'm looking for a new printer myself and wondered what your take is on laser ones. Thank you for showing your storage ideas. Hope you're keeping well. X❤
I think the vast majority of us have got too much stuff 😘 we are serial hoarders ❤️
ty for sharing your creative space! love it! it feels so good to clean and organize. and i must say, you look fabulous!
Thanks so much Lori 🌸
Thank you for the tour❣️🇺🇸
Thanks Nina. That was very inspiring and motivational. I love your craft room. Yesterday I upended two rooms yesterday for some legal documentation. Your uncluttered space today has fired me up to get things organised. And not just in my craft room. Thank you. 😘💕
Thanks Suzanne. It feels so much better now it’s organized again. Wishing you all the best for your decluttering ❤️😘
Inspired! 😊 I enjoyed seeing your cozy space. Thanks for sharing. ✌
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks GREAT!!!
I bet it's a great feeling! I'm so happy for you. 😊 I moved and still haven't been able to finish sorting and organizing things... it is driving me crazy. 🙃
Oh it is. It was driving me mad. Hope you get your room finished soon ❤️
Great video, thanks! I’m not the worst hoarder of craft bits after all!
Haha, I know, I still have rather a lot of stuff. I think we are frightened to throw things away, just in case we might need them! ❤️
So enjoyed ur tour.. Nina. And I will be doing a cleaning out … LOVE ur organized clutter !! ❤❤…. Thank you so much ☺️
I don’t think I could ever do minimalistic. It’s just not in my DNA 😘❤️
Nina, What a fun world you have to craft in. I love watching craft room tours. I’m curious, what types of things do you have ready made for happy mail? Great seeing you🤗💖🦋
Thanks Jennie. All kinds of things such as napkins, ephemera, wallpaper samples, things I’ve made …….. ❤️
It's very nice to "see" you! I definitely need to purge and clean my room. The last time I did that, I pulled everything out and quickly became overwhelmed. 😧 I ended up keeping more than I should because I just wanted it put away at a certain point. I think I'll just do sections at a time next go round and be more selective. 😊 Your room is nice and airy. And CLEAN! I enjoyed your tour very much! 🩷
Thank you so much. It took me 3 weeks to get it to this stage and I agree with you, it becomes such a horrible mess in the process that you wish you hadn’t started! It’s so nice seeing it clean, tidy and organised again though, this time I’m determined to keep on top of things ❤️
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia I say that each time I clean mine. 🤣🤣🤣 I hope you have better luck with that! 🩷
Thanks for the tour! You look fantastic and healthy.
Thank you so much 🌸
Fabulous craft space. I wish I could tidy my little space but is is so small there is no way it could hold all the things I woud like it to. Happy crafting 🙂
Thank you ❤️
Exceptional! Excellent job and very inspiring! Now, when are you coming to Seattle to help me clear out my space? 😏😂 Have a great week and head scratches and tummy rubs to Louie and Toby! 👍✌️❤️😊
Haha! 3 weeks of doing mine is enough for this year 😂. Hope you have a great week too 🥰
So nice to see you in your video, you look great! Your craft room is so tidy, my problem is that if I put things away, I forget to use them or can’t find them! I need to organize it like a store and pull the things I need for a project instead of having everything at hand, that might give me a less cluttered space like yours! I think we all have too many creative avenues as we go through our phases but that’s ok, we are curators of art supplies!🤣🤣💕🇨🇦
It’s a constant battle isn’t it Cindy. I do find having open shelves and clear crates easier to manage as I can see what’s in there. Out of sight out of mind 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia absolutely
You have a lovely craft room. Great job organizing it.
Thank you ❤️
Lovely and bright craft room, thank you for the tour😍
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Thanks for the tour!
You have a lovely craftroom, Nina!
Thank you Yvonne. I feel very lucky to have it ❤️
Hi Nina 👋
I have been watching your video for a bit now and love how you create. It's nice to put a face to the voice, you are so lovely, when I first started showing my face on RUclips i was so nervous😅 You have a beautiful space, may I ask why you wouldn't create infront of the window instead to have natural lighting? I would love to have natural lighting when I create videos, I always have a glare with my lighting. You have a beautiful craftroom!!❤
You have a lovely bright space there Nina and you make me feel better as you have far more stuff than I do 🤣😂 I keep saying I need to have a clean up and clear out but never get around to doing it. I’m sure it’s an addiction. We really are craftaholics xx
Haha! Thanks Lyn. It’s one of those jobs that we all put off because it’s such a Mammoth task and always looks far worse before it gets any better! So glad I did it though ❤️ xx
