Hello! Thanks for watching my video. If you have a craft room or office tour on your channel please let me know in the comments below. I love to watch tours of other people's craft rooms. Also, If you haven't had a chance I would love it if you would like this video and subscribe to my channel. Thanks friend!
Check out Dana K. White on You a Tube. She speaks the language of creative people who accidentally collect way too much crafting stuff. She’s helped me so much!
You're whole attitude was so cool to me, and I Def can relate to what you were saying . I have about the same space and my space is just a mess. (It's actually not a mess, but it's in bins where when I Actually wanna do something..it becomes a mess and I cannot actually work as long as I want because I have to put everything away
You are definitely not alone! I’m of the firm mindset that collecting craft supplies and actually using them are two totally different hobbies… both being so much joy! Love your video!
Lol so true!!!! It’s so much easier to go out and buy more than it is to pull together the mental acuity to actually craft. Plus I think our creative mind needs a change.
I think organizing them is another hobby so each thing does tri[le duty, which reduces the cost by two-thirds!! so really, we can afford 3X more hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaahah, your welcome ladies
OMG! When you were sitting on your bed describing yourself and how your brain works, I screamed with joy "Yes , that's exactly me and finally someone understands what I am dealing with!". Then you said what I have been thinking for years about the disconnect in the brain that is the part that makes you extra creative. Honestly, I also think that we are perfectionists. If we can't do something to perfection, we put it off and things start to pile up. Thank you for speaking so honestly about this.
@@FayeCatyeah, I’m the same and I’ve just started the process of adhd assessment. Well, general assessment, but with a mind towards adhd and cptsd, maybe autism. Even if it’s cptsd, it’s nice to know it’s not just that I’m not just stupid and lazy as I’ve been beating myself up for most of my life.
You are describing me. I was recently diagnosed with inattentive adhd and autism. You have described the neurodivergent brain. Those are all neurodivergent traits. That's how we think/act/are.
It's ADD for sure. And it can make any room in your house go from order to complete disorder in a blink of an eye. And putting in back together is another overwhelming process
It always cracks me up when I see youtubers say look what I found while cleaning my room! It totally reminds me of my childhood when I would clean my room and find treasure and tell my mom. She would make a remark about if I kept it clean things wouldn't go missing. So it tickles me when I see others are in the same boat.
lol of us crafty people have a collecting problem. We are so impressed by the colors, textures, sparkle, etc. that, in the moment, we have to have it. We’re a little shopping obsessed. I’m with you🤪🤗
You have given me inspiration to set up my new craft room. My husband passed away just this past May 24th. My mom is moving in with me so that I don't have to sell my house. All my craft and sewing supplies are in the two small bedrooms at the moment and the master bedroom is my current bedroom. In order for my mom to move in, I need to move all the craft and sewing supplies from the two small bedrooms into the one big bedroom. That way, there is a bedroom for my mom, and one for me. They are tiny bedrooms and packed to the brim with all kinds of crafty and sewing stuff! So I really need to get started, but every time I go to start packing the stuff into boxes to move from room to room, I get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have! But your video has given me inspiration motivation to get started. Thank you for showing us you craftroom makeover and the process. Brenda Moffett
Oh Brenda I am so sorry for your loss and also so sorry that your comment just now showed up on my page and it says it was from 10 months ago! I hope you are doing well and I hope you were able to get your craft room organized. Please comment back and let me know how that project went or if you need any tips on getting your space organized.
I'm so sorry for your loss and the position you find yourself in, I would be happy to come help however I could, I am disabled but could sit in the door and cheer you on, label boxes, or offer whenever you need them, whatever helps out just let me know
This is the first video of yours I came across and you truly made my day!! My room looks like your before and I’m trying so hard to get it under control. You have motivated me to keep on it! Thank you for sharing your true self so that people like us can know we aren’t alone!!
Oh I'm so glad my video has motivated you to keep working on your room!❤️ I get it, it can be so overwhelming but you've got this! Get those boxes, set your timer, and just do what you can in an hour. Put on a movie or binge watch RUclips and that will make the time fly by. Let me know how it goes.
Here's a tip, Tracy. Begin staging like items together as you pull them out if you plan to do as she did. Or do as I am doing and pick one area to work on at a time. Work in sessions of time so you can avoid overwhelm. Reward yourself with something you want/ can afford for your studio and reward yourself after each cleaning session. Good luck! Share with us when you can. Creative Blessings!
OMG, you are my crafty sister!!! I am addicted to craft supplies of all sorts also. I just found you on RUclips and the things you said about having so many things and getting overwhelmed and having stacks of stuff in all your empty spaces is definitely me! It has become almost a hoarder situation, it makes me so upset with myself that I have left it get so out of control. I’m going to listen to all your tips n tricks n try to make myself get my apt. back in shape, I have to also go through everything I have and donate stuff I do not act use or need. My girls have said if I need something later just buy it again. I have a tough time thinking if I get rid of things n have to buy it again it’s a waste of money but maybe they are right??? I am a new subscriber to your channel and am hoping to get the motivation I need from watching you! Keep on helping people like me, I greatly appreciate it!
@@marcellakramer7118 oh sister I totally understand! I too hate to throw or even give away items I may use later but your girls are right. The mess adds more stress to our lives than those items bring us joy. I say give yourself a timeline. If you haven’t used that item in a year, it goes. If you want to really experience joy from those items, donate them to an art teacher. You will make their day and you will enrich those children’s lives through art. 😍 If you need any suggestions you can always message me on my @goodgollygal Instagram. I’m happy to help. Best of luck friend and let me know how it goes.
Oh dear, you are not alone. Seriously, it's like I'm watching myself right now. You're awesome. Thanks for being brave and sharing your amazing small but mighty space. ❤
You’re not alone. It’s adhd babe, and we all share your craft hoarding problems. Your video made me think about turning my spare room into a craft room so everything is in one spot!
ADHD??!! NO! As Frank Coppola explained it, “I prefer to distinguish it an abundance attention. Everything is so interesting remarkably at the same time.”😂 I can relate to everything you said!
YES! ADHD! I was diagnosed late in life and now realize how much it has affected my life and who I am. Good and bad but mostly good. I share the collecting tendencies and craftiness. The part about being messy but craving order resonated with me so much. I function so much better when I don't see clutter but it is so hard to keep things orderly!
We can definitely be friends BECAUSE your craft room looks like that 😂 and your honest enough to share it with us ❤️ I’m in the process of making over my craft room but I’ve hit a wall and started procrastinating. I have a feeling this is going to give me the motivation I need to get back to it 😊
Oh I know that feeling so well! I call it Creative Paralysis and it's the worst! You need to put on some RUclips videos or a good Podcast and binge them while you clean. Good luck with your project. Let me know how it goes!
I just found your video in my feed, probably because I am currently moving in to my first ever crafting room! I'm a two-boy-mom and my oldest moved out of our tiny home. My 13-year old moved into his old room and I claimed the now vacant room, because I need it. My house is so crammed and cluttered with my crafting supplies that it's unsightly and effects everyone. I also don't have a fixed space to work, which is not cool. I'm so excited about this! We cleand thoroughly, fixed holes in the wall and painted it petal pink (girl space!). I'm now trying to create the organization I crave for the myriad crafts I do. I thought I was the only one that skips from one medium to another. Glad to have found you! Thanks for the effort this video took.
You re definitely not alone. Crafting, watching craft videos on RUclips, looking for craft supplies, organising craft supplies, buying craft supplies are ALL separate hobbies.😁
So many organization videos take perfect and aesthetic rooms. I am wired like you: I wanna be organized, but I am messy. Seeing a video I can relate to has been so amazing and refreshing. Thank you for the inspiration and validation that craft supply collectors and chaotic creatives can still have a beautifully organized space
So... I thought this said "Craft Room Madness" at first and clicked, then I was like "OMG their hair is so pretty!" And then noticed the ACTUAL title and decided to watch anyway because you're awesome 🥰
OMG! You are living my life! I think I spend more time organizing, & re-organizing craft supplies than I do crafting. I keep buying more (more than I need) because it's pretty, or different, or I'm not sure I have it. It's a never ending battle.
Laughed out loud at the Hoarders reference - cleaning my craft room and just said that's what my room looks like. Loving your style of videos - so glad to have found you. Great video editing, sounds, and super interesting. Loved it all. Looking forward to watching more. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh girl, this has made me feel SO much better. You will never know just how big of a positive emotional impact this has made on me just knowing I'm NOT the only one who can't walk thru their "space"! This really does give me hope! And NO; I'm SO stressed out (losing sleep, physically sick, etc) about the mess I've allowed to happen in my craft room I CAN'T take a video. I'm beyond ashamed but I now have inspiration and the ability to breathe (a little)! TFS! I know this is WAY past your post but I've just now found it (thank goodness)!
Oh I’m so glad you found my channel! Listen I completely understand. It took a lot for me to share but I always swore if I started a channel I would be 100% myself. The good, the bad, and the messy! 😜 You are not alone friend! I’m going to do my first live video tomorrow (July 30th) at 3pm CST to discuss all things craft related and to talk about my room makeover. Hope you can make it.
Hi there. I have same symptoms you have, that I’ve battled with for 58 years. I’ve been to therapy and tried all kinds of antidepressants since 17. Was FINALLY diagnosed with highly ADHD. Since then I’ve watched several videos on undiagnosed ADHD in women. I’m so glad I did! I was shocked and shook to see how many of them were just like me. A lot of comfort in knowing I’m not lazy or crazy. I hope this helps. Not diagnosing you, please don’t take offense in this. Love and peace to you and yours.😊
Oh my! The story of my life! Buying and organizing is so much easier than actually starting a project! I think buying or collecting craft supplies is one hobby, organizing a second and actually crafting is a third! So glad it’s not just me!
I really feel like I'm watching myself in your video. And you are giving me so many good ideas because your craft room is exactly like mine. I feel like I have been fighting with the devil trying to figure out my organizations in my tiny tiny craft room.
I don’t know why it took the algorithm so dang long to lead me to this video! I watch craft room tours and makeovers as a form of relaxation too! I almost never leave comments, but honestly, this is one of the most thoughtful, ergonomically smart and gorgeous makeover results ever! The mural! Just wow. Also, hope you’re not offended but I’m stealing the hardware organizer idea for beads and findings 😅 it’s genius. Thanks for sharing!
This is not just a transformation this is an act of God. It is miraculous what you accomplished, it’s stunning and beautiful and inspiring. Your aesthetic is breathtaking
I'm also a messy person who likes order! I came up with a strategy to always find what I'm looking for by.... when choosing where to keep something, I stop and think 'if I was going to look for this where would I look first?' and I keep it there because that pathway in my brain tends to always choose that place first. Works really well!
I love it! I feel like we all need to create a support group for our love of craft supplies! 😂 So glad you found my channel! ♥️ Welcome fellow craft supply addict! 😜
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. My craft room is much like yours (before). I too have a small craft room. It’s so nice to glad you shared this with us.
Welcome friend! I’m so glad you found my channel! ♥️ The hardest part for me was simply getting started. I am so glad I did though. It feels so good to have this space organized. Now I just have to keep it this way!
You are sooooooo not alone. My craft room is a disaster. You’ve motivated me to get on it! And my pen/marker/pretty paper/notebook addiction struggle is real. I can absolutely relate! They beckon me. Like an old K-Mart blue light special, I’m drawn to the school supply aisles in every store 🙈. Thanks for sharing and for showing your honest ‘before’ pics!
Absolutely gorgeous! You've inspired me to unpack my new studio (we just moved) and do it right, the first time. No more "I'll worry about that later" excuses. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love it! Yes! Get everything in its place and it will feel so good! It also makes you more likely to get in there and create! Good luck with the unpacking! You know what helps…put my channel on while you unpack and binge watch it. 😜 It will make the unpacking go quickly! ♥️
I about spit out my drink, cracked me up when you were talking about your pens and office supplies and craft supplies. Im right there with you, plus so disorganized too. Im thinking it's a sisterhood. The room looks wonderful.
I don't know how I stumbled across your channel, but I am so glad I did! I too suffer from the "collect it all" syndrome as a mixed media artist with a quilting penchant. I went the white walls route and it is currently the storage room for everything my husband can't find a good place for including bulk toilet paper. I don't want to work in "the toilet paper pantry," so thanks for a little bit of inspiration!
Sadly my husband passed away a couple of years ago and I ended up having to move. I only have one room I can use as a craft room right now and it is still full of boxes as storage! Hopefully one day I will have it as a craft room! In the meantime I love watching craft room tours. Love your mural and work table!
Hi, I'm also a "newbie" to your channel and was instantly drawn in to your reorganizing your various craft supplies. What a fabulous transformation! My craft room also looks like your 'before' and it seems like that there are many of us who can relate.... I'll be following you and hope some of your energy will rub off on me. One question: When do you sleep???? : )
Love the mural you painted. As I was watching I couldn't help but think you should remove the closet door and open the entryway into it to be the same size as the closet. Easier to get at your stuff, you don't lose the space in the room where the door swings and the door won't block any of the light coming into the room from the window. You can always put doors back up if it needs to turn back into a bedroom. :)
I think I have found my twin. I didn't know there were others like me with the craft room mess and obsessed vision of cute and pretty items we can use in arts and craft. Thanks so much. Maybe this will help me get organized too
Yes!!! You can do it! Our brains may be a little quirky but they aren’t broken. We can organize and keep our spaces clean. We just need a support group or like a monthly check in to see how we’re all doing! ♥️
@@goodgollygal a support group and other ideas that work if you don't have a large budget. (Because it went on craft and art supplies). Also ideas if you don't have a hubby to help or an electrician or if like me partially physically challenged.
Love your video, Please Girlfriend don't apologize for the mess !!! One hour better feels so good,and gives motivation to press forward to the dream room. Thank yo for being brave to show us the real mess. My Craft room is also a Library,Office, part sewing room and my biggest clothes closet...P.S. and I have a separate sewing room (STUFFED) across the hall!!!
I was not shocked by your “before” and I have the exact same “problems” with collecting (hoarding) - this video was so real and SO helpful! I’ll get to work this weekend as my hoard is leaking into the rest of the house! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome friend! ♥️So glad you found my channel and I’m so glad you’re going to start on your room. Honestly starting is the hardest part. You can do it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh I love finding my people!!! ♥️Welcome to my channel! So glad you’re here. We are definitely keeping it real here. Putting on a façade is way too tiring! 😜
Thanks for the great tour and for making it so fun… I believe the term speaking to the choir is in order as I imagine you would find the majority of people that watch the video in this channel love love love and “need” the marker for a little more fabric, or a little more paper for that next new shiny thing that feeds our soul I am right there with you girl
You are not alone! My crafting is limited to making jewelry, papercrafting, painting, flower arranging… having said that, when I sorted through my stickers, embellishments, and paper scraps, it was so messy and huge and so overwhelming that I had to leave the room when I was done!😮 went to a non-cluttered space… I am waiting with bated breath to see how you organize your supplies… those are the ideas I’m looking for! Thanks for sharing your space and your vulnerability with us!❤
This is my first time watching you. Love the before pictures of the room. You did such a great job at organizing everything. It now looks like a happy place to create. Thanks for sharing it all.
I am so happy to have found your channel! I am a fellow crafter from the Canadian Prairies 🇨🇦 who has been frustrated with craft room tours that are mainly for paper crafters. I too have a small space 9’ x 10’ to work on my oil painting, stained glass - both of which have numerous specific supplies as well as jewelry making and general crafting. Also like you I don’t like everything all white or all the same furniture but more an eclectic space. One look at your room and I felt like I had found my Crafting Cousin lol bc my room looks the same at the moment. I will definitely subscribing! Thanks so much!
Hello my long lost cousin! 😂 I love finding my people! I had the same issue when looking for ideas for my craft room. I also wasn’t willing to spend a fortune on all new stuff. I like an eclectic mix of things. Thanks for the sweet comment. So glad you found my channel! ♥️
I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS VIDEO & CLICKED BECAUSE I LOVE WATCHING MAKEOVERS & ORGANIZING OF ALL SORTS... BUT WHEN YOU EXPLAINED WANTING ORGANIZED BUT NEEDING PERFECTION I ALMOST DIED... A THERAPIST ONCE TOLD ME THAT MY "PERFECTIONISM" IS CAUSING PROCRASTINATION BECAUSE I DON'T DO THIS AT ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT.... WHICH LEAVES LOYS TO HALF-DONES & TO-DO'S... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! ❤️
OMG, I LOVE YOUR SPIRIT & ENERGY, YOUR ROOM LOOKS LIKE PARADISE!!! I HAVE AN OFF SITE STORAGE/WORKSPACE THAT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL, BUT YOU'VE INSPIRED ME TO SET IT UP AS IVE ALWAYS ENVISIONED IT! ←WHAT IF YOU CAN UTILIZE THE WALLS FOR WHATEVER REASON?
Go watch me craft cabinet video! I have actually moved from the house where that amazing craft room was and now I'm in limbo. I needed a space to create while I figure out a more permanent solution so I created a craft cabinet. This might help if you can't put things on the wall.
OH MY - we are crafting soul sisters!!! Most of my space looks like your "before" space... I just did the bead drawers and tamed the paper monster... LOTS more to get through. Thanks for the inspiration - and I love the mural. 😍
Your video came up on my Home Screen and like you I love seeing how someone else organizes. Normally I probably wouldn’t have stayed too long because I’m not a jewelry maker and sewing was apart of my past life but somehow listening to you talk and share just drew me in. I loved watching as you and hubby transformed your space! You did a great job and hubby, well, he’s a real keeper! The mural is fantastic! big kudos to you. So I subbed to your Chanel and I’ll be popping in again just to see what you’re up to. Come on over and visit me even though, as I said,our interests are different it’s always fun to see what others do. Patti
Thank you and welcome! I’m so glad my video ended up on your Home Screen and the fact that you stayed is the biggest compliment ever! 😍 We had so much fun remodeling this room and I love having a new organized space to craft in. I’m so glad you subscribed. I have a little bit of crafting, a little DIY and decor, some really yummy recipes, and a few travel videos thrown in the mix. I’m currently weaving a wall hanging and hope to have that video up soon. Thanks again for watching and now I’m about to head to your channel to check it out.
That mural tho 😍♥️🥰 I actually talk to pens too; they all BEG to come home with me! And my planner room welcomes all sizes, colors and shapes 🤣 again, love your space and got a few ideas, thank you ♥️
I mean how are we supposed to leave all of these beautiful items in the store when they are begging for a good home! 😜 So glad I’m not alone in this! So glad you found my channel! ♥️
Oh my goodness! You’re giving me inspiration… I can’t even walk in my craft room, in fact, I stop doing crafts because I can’t walk in my craft room! Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to redo everything so I am just at a loss, but it breaks my heart to try to get rid of everything… I’ll keep watching for more inspiration from you. Thank you.
You don’t need to spend a dime. Actually, you could probably sell some of your craft supplies you don’t need anymore on Facebook marketplace and then use that money to buy some items to help you organize! You can do it! ❤️
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I have a huge cabinet of fabric, three sewing machines, an embroidery machine and a serger - AND I DON’T EVEN SEW! Well, I did sew, but I haven’t in over 10 years. I realized that I had a fabric problem so I knew I needed to make a change. SO I CHANGED TO SCRAPBOOK PAPER! Then I changed to stamping, then jewelry making and now I’m thrifting and refurbishing furniture and creating home decor. I have a craft room, too and now I’ve taken over a “formal living room” (we’re not too formal around here) and created a home decor store. Nobody shops this store but me, but let’s just say that I have a little home decor problem. We won’t even talk about our “two car” garage. So, yeah, you are not alone. Wanna be friends?! ~ Linda
I love it! There are so many like us I think we need to create a support group! 😂 I love finding my people! Welcome to my channel, I’m so glad you came! ♥️
I just saw your video and the timing is perfect. I too am a craft collector and love to create and experience exactly what you described! I am in the process of moving my craft room from a 10'x11' room down to a 7'x 9' room that does not have a closet. The former bigger room did have a closet. So it has been hard and I am emotionally challenged over what to let go of. I am still in the purging stage. I have been putting items out on our front curb with a sign "free craft items" and definitely people who really want them are helping themselves and they are so grateful! Yes we often talk to the recipients. Anyway, my new craftroom was formerly a laundry room, off the kitchen. There are 3 doors and 1 window taking up walls in my new space! So not much wall space for organization or storage. Once I am finished maybe I will create a video too, if it turns out nice enough, haha. Loved your video!! I too relate to exactly what you were saying!!!
Okay you need to watch my ikea pantry hack video! That system would work great in your room and there are so many different storage options with that system. Plus you can add the doors to it and use it like a closet. Also get things up on the wall. Those peg boards are life savers! If you are looking for someone to donate art supplies to try reaching out to a local school and see if their art teacher needs them. Good luck with your craft room makeover, I hope it goes well! ♥️
I love the gold feet on your IKEA shelf, but because there is a baseboard there, I would have mounted the shelf to the wall studs. I have nine custom shelves that I designed and made and they're all mounted to the wall. My tiny space feels bigger as non of my shelving takes up floor space except for my carts which are on wheels. I ADORE craft room tours and crafty must-have videos; you really learn a lot about an artist through these types of videos. I want to make a video of my space but I'm leery because I don't want hateful comments. I'm a newby creator so I don't feel I have enough experience to arm myself against the mean folks. I love your mural! I also love that you do different kinds of crafts, these rooms are so fun to explore; thank you for sharing! Hopefully, I get brave and post my room sometime soon. I'm sending you a couple of pictures to your email (you might feel my room is too much, but I love to SEE all my pretties, it's inspiring)!
You did an amazing job. Like you, I like to see how people arrange and organize their craft rooms. That’s how I found your video. Your room may be small but having a husband that’s is not only handy but willing to help is a real plus😊! My room is larger but I live in a 1 1/2 story house, therefore all my walls are slated up toward the roof line. What I wouldn’t give for vertical space. Love your mural. Thanks for sharing your craft room makeover. It was very inspirational.
Your mural is gorgeous! I’ve been working on my craft room for ages. I have back issues so I can only work for very short spurts but it is coming along. Congrats on being finished!
I SO appreciate people who share their real, messy lives! I’m SO overwhelmed trying to set up my craft room. Seeing your progress (our “before” pics are similar) is very inspiring. Tfs!
I feel you, girl! This is the first video of yours I've seen, and my workroom is maybe worse than your "before". 3 hobbies: buying the craft items; using the craft items; TRYING to keep the items organized! I have things I've purchased that I KNOW will never be used ... but they make me feel good.😂
Welcome friend! You have found your crazy cluttered crafty corner of RUclips! There are so many friends here that are just like you! So glad you found my channel! ❤️
There are sooo many artists that collect massive amounts of craft/art items! I personally have ADHD. I just spent a whole day organizing my small art area. I'm not done yet, but it looked like your 'office'. I totally get wanting to be organized and not having the mindset to get it done. It really is hard for us to keep things organized. I like your ideas. PS Your hair is beautiful!
January 26 2024 Maryland USA: Finally a true small space to get ideas and motivated. Thiis is where I am at right now. The change in the space is to truly accomodate my creativity from sewing, embroidery, knitting…you get it. To include a small space to sort pictures for gathering up a photo albumn for my adult children and grandchild that will binded like a book to past forward and do a digital. You are doing excellent. Painting is also on my agenda. ]
Welcome friend! I’m so glad you’re here! Best of luck on your projects! Remember, set a timer and work for one hour and then give yourself a break. Also, binge watch my channel and I’ll entertain you while you clean! 😜
Hello, fellow pen addict! Yes! we can NEVER have too many pens or colored pencils! Brilliant to make a work space in the closet! Unfortunately, I am married to Mr. Un-handyman! He has already destroyed half of my shelves in my closet...I work in a world of angled shelves, but it works as long as I don't put something on the shelves that will roll down hill! lOL. You are absolutely right about setting an hour timer on yourself when cleaning and decluttering. An hour is plenty and brings you back the next day to keep going, but not ignoring the creative beast that needs the other waking hours of your day!
I'm also a crafter with a multitude of crafts that I enjoy. We have recently moved to a mobile home and I am looking forward to creating workable craft room. I just watched your episode on creating a craft room. Now I'm inspired 😊
You are not alone. I am paper crafter and rubber stamping card marker is my thing. I can never have enough rubber stamp, ink pads, scrapbooking albums and more. Rest easy you are making a big step forward to make it better.
"I hope we can still be friends..." Girlfriend, yes we can! Best friends! Thank you for sharing this. My tiny room looks similar to this. I have no idea where to start, thank you again. I also do various crafts, jewelry as you do, mixed media, watercolor, and sewing mainly. You have inspired me to get my space together.
"You are not alone, I am there with you, though we're far apart we share the same heart, the luv for all things crafty. We are crazy and we make the world go around lol. I'm a new sub, I'm organizing my space as well, just purchased some things from Jo Anne's and Micheal's. My living room has turned into my workspace, no couch end tables nothing. I'm building a craft box for my paper and stuff and have two amours, one for jewelry and the other for yarn and fabric. Like you I have varied interests. It's a blessing and a curse. I thought about putting the camera on me and fast forwarding it. The room looks gorgeous. You are so fortunate to have a man who is handy.
Sometimes those random videos RUclips puts in your feed turn out to be just the most wonderful thing. I'm not even a Crafter. What I do relate to is the whole if I can't do it perfect it's going to sit over there and I'm going to put blinders on that is so me. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Welcome friend! ♥️ I’m so glad RUclips sent you to my channel! You are so sweet! I share a little bit of everything on here thanks to my ADHD my brain which is never satisfied with just one topic! 🤦♀️I know you say you aren’t a crafter but I say you just aren’t a crafter yet! 😜 Thanks for subscribing! ♥️
You are not alone. I am right there with you. Currently actively avoiding craft clutter right now!!!! Your room turned out beautifully. Your mural is GORGEOUS!!!
@@goodgollygal Well, you inspired me. I just picked up a couple of organizers from Michael's that I've been wanting/needing to help me get back in the groove and get this place shaped up.
First time watching your video. It gave me some hope . I have a craft room that looks like yours did. I barely have a walkway and no room to create. I tend to avoid going in there. Your makeover is beautiful and the organization is fabulous. I hope to get my room cleaned and organized one day. Unfortunately I’m now 71 and not in the best of health, but I still love to create and will get there, maybe not as nice as yours but at least a room I can work in. Thanks for sharing this adventure. I like your storage ideas.💕
Around 13 minutes… you started describing me! I’m sitting in the middle of a room now trying to organize a craft space. It’s a much larger room. No money and way too many types of crafts. And to add to that is the emotional chaos that comes along with the organizing right now because probably 90 % of it is my late wife’s (just two months ago). She was an avid crafter that didn’t like being bored. So we have a virtual craft store in the entire house. Trying to make heads or tails out of it is waaaaay overwhelming. Thank you for showing your realness and not being “perfect”
Oh friend I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s hard enough to try and clean a space when there is so much to organize but then you throw in the emotional aspect of this project and it’s overwhelming. My suggestion for you is to first get out the trash. Put on a great show or a podcast and just start throwing away. Next get boxes and begin to sort through items that you want to donate. I recommend taking these items to an art teacher. They love donations and just think how happy the kids will be making art thanks to you and your wife’s generous donation. Once all of that is done you can decide what to keep or sell. Just be kind to yourself during this process. Set an alarm and just start with an hour of work in the room. If it starts to be too much then take a break. As much as it hurts to clear through her things you can honor her by cleaning the space and donating those items for kids to make art. I know I didn’t know her but I think she would have loved that. ❤️
@@goodgollygal thank you for the response and tips. I do have avenues to donate some of the things, other family members who are also crafty and “buy nothing sell nothing” local Facebook groups (where she received many things herself). Some crafts we mutually enjoyed so I will hang on to those supplies. She had such a creative mind and had so many projects started - that’s been the heartbreaking part - coming across the things she never had time to finish. It’s too early for me to let some of that go. Some of them I may be able to finish “for her”. She was constantly making and giving. I applaud your ability to organize. I felt you in your other video about being organized but it has to be a simple system to stay that way or becomes a scene from hoarders! - that is/was either/both of us! Your yarn storage was a neat idea… I would need to cover the entire 23’ wall with those units to maybe have enough room for all her yarn lol. It would definitely be beautiful with all the color and texture, but I would also need to take out a second mortgage to buy them lol. So next is trying to figure out storage and a system with no $ and no major construction skills! Thank you again for the kind words and I’m glad I came across your channel!
Hello! Thanks for watching my video. If you have a craft room or office tour on your channel please let me know in the comments below. I love to watch tours of other people's craft rooms. Also, If you haven't had a chance I would love it if you would like this video and subscribe to my channel. Thanks friend!
Check out Dana K. White on You a Tube. She speaks the language of creative people who accidentally collect way too much crafting stuff. She’s helped me so much!
Mine looks like yours did before your makeover! Lol
@@gailrhodes7771 you are not alone! ♥️
You aren't alone. I make myself AVOID michaels..Joanne's, hobby lobby..the craft aisle ..because I cannot..
You're whole attitude was so cool to me, and I Def can relate to what you were saying . I have about the same space and my space is just a mess. (It's actually not a mess, but it's in bins where when I Actually wanna do something..it becomes a mess and I cannot actually work as long as I want because I have to put everything away
You are definitely not alone! I’m of the firm mindset that collecting craft supplies and actually using them are two totally different hobbies… both being so much joy! Love your video!
😂😂😂Yes! That is so true!
Thank you! I didn’t realize that my collecting craft supplies counts as a hobby. Now I feel accomplished instead of guilty! 😂😂😂
Lol so true!!!! It’s so much easier to go out and buy more than it is to pull together the mental acuity to actually craft. Plus I think our creative mind needs a change.
Wow, now there are several peas in my pod!
I think organizing them is another hobby so each thing does tri[le duty, which reduces the cost by two-thirds!! so really, we can afford 3X more hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaahah, your welcome ladies
OMG! When you were sitting on your bed describing yourself and how your brain works, I screamed with joy "Yes , that's exactly me and finally someone understands what I am dealing with!". Then you said what I have been thinking for years about the disconnect in the brain that is the part that makes you extra creative. Honestly, I also think that we are perfectionists. If we can't do something to perfection, we put it off and things start to pile up. Thank you for speaking so honestly about this.
Just so we’re all on the same page- what you’re both describing is a symptom of ADHD ❤
Meeeeee 3..exactly like that.
@@FayeCatyeah, I’m the same and I’ve just started the process of adhd assessment. Well, general assessment, but with a mind towards adhd and cptsd, maybe autism. Even if it’s cptsd, it’s nice to know it’s not just that I’m not just stupid and lazy as I’ve been beating myself up for most of my life.
You are describing me. I was recently diagnosed with inattentive adhd and autism. You have described the neurodivergent brain. Those are all neurodivergent traits. That's how we think/act/are.
It's ADD for sure. And it can make any room in your house go from order to complete disorder in a blink of an eye. And putting in back together is another overwhelming process
You are not alone. I loved it when you said, "Because, pens!" LOL. That's my answer to all things craft, office, and pretty.
Yes!!! They are all just so pretty! ❤️
Gosh, I thought I was the only one that thought these thoughts. Whew! U r my tribe!!!
It always cracks me up when I see youtubers say look what I found while cleaning my room! It totally reminds me of my childhood when I would clean my room and find treasure and tell my mom. She would make a remark about if I kept it clean things wouldn't go missing. So it tickles me when I see others are in the same boat.
It’s like Christmas each time I clean! 😂😂😂
OM-GOODNESS!!! I thought I was the only person who loved all the craft and office “tools”! 💜
They are all so pretty! I love them all!
lol of us crafty people have a collecting problem. We are so impressed by the colors, textures, sparkle, etc. that, in the moment, we have to have it. We’re a little shopping obsessed. I’m with you🤪🤗
Yes! I love it all! So glad I’m not alone! ♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Exactly! I have two hobbies- crafting and hoarding! I can’t throw anything away! 🤣
I so totally get this! 😂
I need a whole extra TWO rooms ..
You have given me inspiration to set up my new craft room. My husband passed away just this past May 24th. My mom is moving in with me so that I don't have to sell my house. All my craft and sewing supplies are in the two small bedrooms at the moment and the master bedroom is my current bedroom. In order for my mom to move in, I need to move all the craft and sewing supplies from the two small bedrooms into the one big bedroom. That way, there is a bedroom for my mom, and one for me. They are tiny bedrooms and packed to the brim with all kinds of crafty and sewing stuff! So I really need to get started, but every time I go to start packing the stuff into boxes to move from room to room, I get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have! But your video has given me inspiration motivation to get started. Thank you for showing us you craftroom makeover and the process. Brenda Moffett
Oh Brenda I am so sorry for your loss and also so sorry that your comment just now showed up on my page and it says it was from 10 months ago! I hope you are doing well and I hope you were able to get your craft room organized. Please comment back and let me know how that project went or if you need any tips on getting your space organized.
I'm so sorry for your loss and the position you find yourself in, I would be happy to come help however I could, I am disabled but could sit in the door and cheer you on, label boxes, or offer whenever you need them, whatever helps out just let me know
@@goodgollygal thank you, it took me until today to see that you had replied! 🤷♀️
Than you for the positive energy. ❤️🩹☺️
This is the first video of yours I came across and you truly made my day!! My room looks like your before and I’m trying so hard to get it under control. You have motivated me to keep on it! Thank you for sharing your true self so that people like us can know we aren’t alone!!
Oh I'm so glad my video has motivated you to keep working on your room!❤️ I get it, it can be so overwhelming but you've got this! Get those boxes, set your timer, and just do what you can in an hour. Put on a movie or binge watch RUclips and that will make the time fly by. Let me know how it goes.
Here's a tip, Tracy. Begin staging like items together as you pull them out if you plan to do as she did. Or do as I am doing and pick one area to work on at a time. Work in sessions of time so you can avoid overwhelm. Reward yourself with something you want/ can afford for your studio and reward yourself after each cleaning session. Good luck! Share with us when you can. Creative Blessings!
@@KellysCreativeDreams love this! ♥️♥️♥️
OMG, you are my crafty sister!!! I am addicted to craft supplies of all sorts also. I just found you on RUclips and the things you said about having so many things and getting overwhelmed and having stacks of stuff in all your empty spaces is definitely me! It has become almost a hoarder situation, it makes me so upset with myself that I have left it get so out of control. I’m going to listen to all your tips n tricks n try to make myself get my apt. back in shape, I have to also go through everything I have and donate stuff I do not act use or need. My girls have said if I need something later just buy it again. I have a tough time thinking if I get rid of things n have to buy it again it’s a waste of money but maybe they are right???
I am a new subscriber to your channel and am hoping to get the motivation I need from watching you! Keep on helping people like me, I greatly appreciate it!
@@marcellakramer7118 oh sister I totally understand! I too hate to throw or even give away items I may use later but your girls are right. The mess adds more stress to our lives than those items bring us joy. I say give yourself a timeline. If you haven’t used that item in a year, it goes. If you want to really experience joy from those items, donate them to an art teacher. You will make their day and you will enrich those children’s lives through art. 😍 If you need any suggestions you can always message me on my @goodgollygal Instagram. I’m happy to help. Best of luck friend and let me know how it goes.
You are certainly not alone. I felt like I was watching a video about ME. LOL.
Welcome friend! You have found your people! ❤️
Oh dear, you are not alone. Seriously, it's like I'm watching myself right now. You're awesome. Thanks for being brave and sharing your amazing small but mighty space. ❤
Love "it's a problem but a beautiful problem" that sums it up pretty well.
You’re not alone. It’s adhd babe, and we all share your craft hoarding problems. Your video made me think about turning my spare room into a craft room so everything is in one spot!
ADHD??!! NO! As Frank Coppola explained it, “I prefer to distinguish it an abundance attention. Everything is so interesting remarkably at the same time.”😂 I can relate to everything you said!
YES! ADHD! I was diagnosed late in life and now realize how much it has affected my life and who I am. Good and bad but mostly good. I share the collecting tendencies and craftiness. The part about being messy but craving order resonated with me so much. I function so much better when I don't see clutter but it is so hard to keep things orderly!
We can definitely be friends BECAUSE your craft room looks like that 😂 and your honest enough to share it with us ❤️ I’m in the process of making over my craft room but I’ve hit a wall and started procrastinating. I have a feeling this is going to give me the motivation I need to get back to it 😊
Oh I know that feeling so well! I call it Creative Paralysis and it's the worst! You need to put on some RUclips videos or a good Podcast and binge them while you clean. Good luck with your project. Let me know how it goes!
I just found your video in my feed, probably because I am currently moving in to my first ever crafting room! I'm a two-boy-mom and my oldest moved out of our tiny home. My 13-year old moved into his old room and I claimed the now vacant room, because I need it. My house is so crammed and cluttered with my crafting supplies that it's unsightly and effects everyone. I also don't have a fixed space to work, which is not cool. I'm so excited about this! We cleand thoroughly, fixed holes in the wall and painted it petal pink (girl space!). I'm now trying to create the organization I crave for the myriad crafts I do. I thought I was the only one that skips from one medium to another. Glad to have found you! Thanks for the effort this video took.
You re definitely not alone. Crafting, watching craft videos on RUclips, looking for craft supplies, organising craft supplies, buying craft supplies are ALL separate hobbies.😁
All things craft related make me happy! 🥰🥰🥰
I sew, so buying fabric and patterns have to be added as separate hobbies.
@@suek7086 true!
Wish I had seen this long time ago. I am definitely a sister.
So many organization videos take perfect and aesthetic rooms. I am wired like you: I wanna be organized, but I am messy. Seeing a video I can relate to has been so amazing and refreshing. Thank you for the inspiration and validation that craft supply collectors and chaotic creatives can still have a beautifully organized space
Thank you friend! That means so much! ❤️❤️❤️
So... I thought this said "Craft Room Madness" at first and clicked, then I was like "OMG their hair is so pretty!" And then noticed the ACTUAL title and decided to watch anyway because you're awesome 🥰
Oh, and subscribed because I freaking love your sense of humor 🤣 lol
You’re so sweet! Thank you and welcome friend! ❤️❤️❤️
OMG! You are living my life! I think I spend more time organizing, & re-organizing craft supplies than I do crafting. I keep buying more (more than I need) because it's pretty, or different, or I'm not sure I have it. It's a never ending battle.
You are not alone! We need to put together a crafting sisterhood.
LOL "because Pens!" I hear myself echoed in all you say. You are not alone. 😀
Love finding my people! ♥️♥️♥️
Laughed out loud at the Hoarders reference - cleaning my craft room and just said that's what my room looks like. Loving your style of videos - so glad to have found you. Great video editing, sounds, and super interesting. Loved it all. Looking forward to watching more. Thanks for the inspiration!
Welcome fellow hoarder - I mean crafter! 😂😂😂 The struggle is real! So glad you enjoyed my video and I’m so happy you found my channel! ♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
You aren't the only one whose room looks like that we have a sisterhood
Mine is the same mess!!!
Oh girl, this has made me feel SO much better. You will never know just how big of a positive emotional impact this has made on me just knowing I'm NOT the only one who can't walk thru their "space"! This really does give me hope! And NO; I'm SO stressed out (losing sleep, physically sick, etc) about the mess I've allowed to happen in my craft room I CAN'T take a video. I'm beyond ashamed but I now have inspiration and the ability to breathe (a little)! TFS! I know this is WAY past your post but I've just now found it (thank goodness)!
Oh I’m so glad you found my channel! Listen I completely understand. It took a lot for me to share but I always swore if I started a channel I would be 100% myself. The good, the bad, and the messy! 😜 You are not alone friend! I’m going to do my first live video tomorrow (July 30th) at 3pm CST to discuss all things craft related and to talk about my room makeover. Hope you can make it.
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Hi there. I have same symptoms you have, that I’ve battled with for 58 years. I’ve been to therapy and tried all kinds of antidepressants since 17.
Was FINALLY diagnosed with highly ADHD. Since then I’ve watched several videos on undiagnosed ADHD in women. I’m so glad I did! I was shocked and shook to see how many of them were just like me. A lot of comfort in knowing I’m not lazy or crazy. I hope this helps. Not diagnosing you, please don’t take offense in this.
Love and peace to you and yours.😊
Yes this is me. Not sure if it's ADHD or just plain procrastination 🤔
Oh my! The story of my life! Buying and organizing is so much easier than actually starting a project! I think buying or collecting craft supplies is one hobby, organizing a second and actually crafting is a third! So glad it’s not just me!
U r not alone. I collect pens, notebooks, paper. You name it. I love ur attitude.
Thank you friend! ♥️♥️♥️
I could swear looking at your before craft space looks exactly the same as mine. It makes me relieved to see im not alone
You are not alone at all! You have found your people, welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
I really feel like I'm watching myself in your video. And you are giving me so many good ideas because your craft room is exactly like mine. I feel like I have been fighting with the devil trying to figure out my organizations in my tiny tiny craft room.
You can do it friend! ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know why it took the algorithm so dang long to lead me to this video! I watch craft room tours and makeovers as a form of relaxation too! I almost never leave comments, but honestly, this is one of the most thoughtful, ergonomically smart and gorgeous makeover results ever! The mural! Just wow. Also, hope you’re not offended but I’m stealing the hardware organizer idea for beads and findings 😅 it’s genius. Thanks for sharing!
Oh please take all of the ideas! That is what I am here for! I am so glad you found me, welcome friend! ❤️❤️❤️
This is not just a transformation this is an act of God. It is miraculous what you accomplished, it’s stunning and beautiful and inspiring. Your aesthetic is breathtaking
Awww thank you friend!
I'm also a messy person who likes order! I came up with a strategy to always find what I'm looking for by.... when choosing where to keep something, I stop and think 'if I was going to look for this where would I look first?' and I keep it there because that pathway in my brain tends to always choose that place first. Works really well!
That’s a great tip! I sometimes take a picture of items I put away and text it to my husband so that if I forget he can tell me where it is! 🤣
@@goodgollygal haha I would definitely accidentally delete said photographs😅🌈
I loved seeing how real your craft room looked before! I can definitely relate and hope to be able to set up and reorganize my craft room too.
Do it! It feels so good to have everything organized! I use my craft room so much more now! ♥️♥️♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Finally someone that shows a mess craft room!! Girl mine stay messy 🙂🙂🙂This was fun to watch!!!
Thanks friend! Girl I’m always a mess too! The key is figuring out a system so everything has its place so that clean up is easy. ❤️
I wouldn't say stay messy but it it good to see the real life that so many of us have
You are not alone. We are right there with you. I buy paper and paper and paper!! Loving your personality!
Thank you friend! I love finding craft hoarders! 😂Glad you found my channel! Welcome! ♥️
No it's not a problem.
I'm that way as well
YOU ARE NOT ALONE CRAFTY SIS!!!! ITS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST THE WAY WE ARE BUILT.
You are not alone. Pens, notebooks, crafting supplies -all of the crafts-, tools. I mean, if I think I can use it, I'll buy it. XD
OMG!! you are just like me!!! Pens, pencils, fabric, paints, inks, and beads, etc. I buy pens just because of the colors.
I love it! I feel like we all need to create a support group for our love of craft supplies! 😂 So glad you found my channel! ♥️ Welcome fellow craft supply addict! 😜
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Oh my goodness, that mural looks sooooo good 😌 ❤️
Thank you friend! ♥️♥️♥️
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. My craft room is much like yours (before). I too have a small craft room. It’s so nice to glad you shared this with us.
Welcome friend! I’m so glad you found my channel! ♥️ The hardest part for me was simply getting started. I am so glad I did though. It feels so good to have this space organized. Now I just have to keep it this way!
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Because pens ♡ I've never felt so in tune with someone over an inanimate object before! I feel ya!
😂I love finding my people!!!♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
You are not alone! In any of this! Fabric, pens, mess, etc. I am really enjoying your videos! Thank you!
You are sooooooo not alone. My craft room is a disaster. You’ve motivated me to get on it! And my pen/marker/pretty paper/notebook addiction struggle is real. I can absolutely relate! They beckon me. Like an old K-Mart blue light special, I’m drawn to the school supply aisles in every store 🙈. Thanks for sharing and for showing your honest ‘before’ pics!
Absolutely gorgeous! You've inspired me to unpack my new studio (we just moved) and do it right, the first time. No more "I'll worry about that later" excuses. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love it! Yes! Get everything in its place and it will feel so good! It also makes you more likely to get in there and create! Good luck with the unpacking! You know what helps…put my channel on while you unpack and binge watch it. 😜 It will make the unpacking go quickly! ♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
You are not alone!! I love craft and office supplies!!! I have so much!!! All the pretty colors just call my name!
Yes!!! They are just begging us to give them a home! 😜♥️♥️♥️
I about spit out my drink, cracked me up when you were talking about your pens and office supplies and craft supplies. Im right there with you, plus so disorganized too. Im thinking it's a sisterhood. The room looks wonderful.
I don't know how I stumbled across your channel, but I am so glad I did! I too suffer from the "collect it all" syndrome as a mixed media artist with a quilting penchant. I went the white walls route and it is currently the storage room for everything my husband can't find a good place for including bulk toilet paper. I don't want to work in "the toilet paper pantry," so thanks for a little bit of inspiration!
So glad you found my channel! Welcome friend! You definitely need to take back your space and make it a happy place to create! ♥️
When it got to the part about the pens... I felt that viscerally.
Stunning space that maximizes storage in a tiny space🥰
I love finding my people! 🥰 I mean seriously, how are we supposed to just leave these beautiful things in the store? 🤷🏼♀️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
As a fellow crafter, I can appreciate the work that goes into organizing a Craft/Workspace. It looks really amazing as well as functional. I love it.
Thank you friend! It has been so nice having everything organized and having a system that works for me. It’s my happy place! ♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
“They [the pens] needed me to buy them…”. Lol, that is so me! You are definitely not alone!! 😂😂 Love your videos. Keep on doing what you do!👏👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣thanks friend! ❤️❤️❤️
Sadly my husband passed away a couple of years ago and I ended up having to move. I only have one room I can use as a craft room right now and it is still full of boxes as storage! Hopefully one day I will have it as a craft room! In the meantime I love watching craft room tours. Love your mural and work table!
I am in the same situation as you with hope for my craft room in the future. Good luck to both of us for a brighter future.
Hi, I'm also a "newbie" to your channel and was instantly drawn in to your reorganizing your various craft supplies. What a fabulous transformation! My craft room also looks like your 'before' and it seems like that there are many of us who can relate.... I'll be following you and hope some of your energy will rub off on me. One question: When do you sleep???? : )
Welcome friend! ♥️ I get a little sleep at night but I love my afternoon naps! I’m going to be so sad when my youngest stops taking naps! 😭
Love the mural you painted. As I was watching I couldn't help but think you should remove the closet door and open the entryway into it to be the same size as the closet. Easier to get at your stuff, you don't lose the space in the room where the door swings and the door won't block any of the light coming into the room from the window. You can always put doors back up if it needs to turn back into a bedroom. :)
Thanks for the tip! I thought about that but I use the door for storage.
I think I have found my twin. I didn't know there were others like me with the craft room mess and obsessed vision of cute and pretty items we can use in arts and craft. Thanks so much. Maybe this will help me get organized too
Yes!!! You can do it! Our brains may be a little quirky but they aren’t broken. We can organize and keep our spaces clean. We just need a support group or like a monthly check in to see how we’re all doing! ♥️
@@goodgollygal a support group and other ideas that work if you don't have a large budget. (Because it went on craft and art supplies). Also ideas if you don't have a hubby to help or an electrician or if like me partially physically challenged.
@@karenarmstrong8463 yes, I’m all for doing things on a budget. We are definitely not made of money around here!
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Love your video, Please Girlfriend don't apologize for the mess !!! One hour better feels so good,and gives motivation to press forward to the dream room. Thank yo for being brave to show us the real mess. My Craft room is also a Library,Office, part sewing room and my biggest clothes closet...P.S. and I have a separate sewing room (STUFFED) across the hall!!!
You are DEFINITELY not alone!!! An addiction of which I hope there is no twelve step program!😆😆😆😆😉😉
I was not shocked by your “before” and I have the exact same “problems” with collecting (hoarding) - this video was so real and SO helpful! I’ll get to work this weekend as my hoard is leaking into the rest of the house! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome friend! ♥️So glad you found my channel and I’m so glad you’re going to start on your room. Honestly starting is the hardest part. You can do it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Still be friends? Girl, that's exactly what my craft room looks like! We are friends now.
😂 I love it! Hello friend! ❤️
OMG, you are awesome! Thank you for being so open and candid, it is so great to see that in a craft room video! I'm subscribed now, so...YAY!
Oh I love finding my people!!! ♥️Welcome to my channel! So glad you’re here. We are definitely keeping it real here. Putting on a façade is way too tiring! 😜
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Thanks for the great tour and for making it so fun… I believe the term speaking to the choir is in order as I imagine you would find the majority of people that watch the video in this channel love love love and “need” the marker for a little more fabric, or a little more paper for that next new shiny thing that feeds our soul I am right there with you girl
Yes! I love all the pretty craft supplies! 😍😍😍
You are not alone! My crafting is limited to making jewelry, papercrafting, painting, flower arranging… having said that, when I sorted through my stickers, embellishments, and paper scraps, it was so messy and huge and so overwhelming that I had to leave the room when I was done!😮 went to a non-cluttered space… I am waiting with bated breath to see how you organize your supplies… those are the ideas I’m looking for! Thanks for sharing your space and your vulnerability with us!❤
"They needed me to buy them" is exactly how I feel about fabric and yarn! We are kindred spirits!
I love it! ♥️♥️♥️
This is my first time watching you. Love the before pictures of the room. You did such a great job at organizing everything. It now looks like a happy place to create. Thanks for sharing it all.
Awww thanks friend! Yes this space makes me so happy to just sit in there and make crafts! It has become my happy place! ♥️♥️♥️
I am so happy to have found your channel! I am a fellow crafter from the Canadian Prairies 🇨🇦 who has been frustrated with craft room tours that are mainly for paper crafters. I too have a small space 9’ x 10’ to work on my oil painting, stained glass - both of which have numerous specific supplies as well as jewelry making and general crafting. Also like you I don’t like everything all white or all the same furniture but more an eclectic space. One look at your room and I felt like I had found my Crafting Cousin lol bc my room looks the same at the moment. I will definitely subscribing! Thanks so much!
Hello my long lost cousin! 😂 I love finding my people! I had the same issue when looking for ideas for my craft room. I also wasn’t willing to spend a fortune on all new stuff. I like an eclectic mix of things. Thanks for the sweet comment. So glad you found my channel! ♥️
I am with you too.
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
It’s so nice to see I’m someone who is a sewing and a crafter of many arts. Not just a quilter or a one craft maker.
I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS VIDEO & CLICKED BECAUSE I LOVE WATCHING MAKEOVERS & ORGANIZING OF ALL SORTS... BUT WHEN YOU EXPLAINED WANTING ORGANIZED BUT NEEDING PERFECTION I ALMOST DIED... A THERAPIST ONCE TOLD ME THAT MY "PERFECTIONISM" IS CAUSING PROCRASTINATION BECAUSE I DON'T DO THIS AT ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT.... WHICH LEAVES LOYS TO HALF-DONES & TO-DO'S... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! ❤️
OMG, I LOVE YOUR SPIRIT & ENERGY, YOUR ROOM LOOKS LIKE PARADISE!!! I HAVE AN OFF SITE STORAGE/WORKSPACE THAT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL, BUT YOU'VE INSPIRED ME TO SET IT UP AS IVE ALWAYS ENVISIONED IT! ←WHAT IF YOU CAN UTILIZE THE WALLS FOR WHATEVER REASON?
Yes! People mistake us as being lazy but it's just if we don't have time to make it perfect we put it off!
Go watch me craft cabinet video! I have actually moved from the house where that amazing craft room was and now I'm in limbo. I needed a space to create while I figure out a more permanent solution so I created a craft cabinet. This might help if you can't put things on the wall.
@@goodgollygal, the ex-hubby loves to call me "lazy," as he's indoctrinated to the matrix. Will go watch your updated craft area!
OH MY - we are crafting soul sisters!!! Most of my space looks like your "before" space... I just did the bead drawers and tamed the paper monster... LOTS more to get through. Thanks for the inspiration - and I love the mural. 😍
Welcome my long lost sister!!! ♥️
Your video came up on my Home Screen and like you I love seeing how someone else organizes. Normally I probably wouldn’t have stayed too long because I’m not a jewelry maker and sewing was apart of my past life but somehow listening to you talk and share just drew me in. I loved watching as you and hubby transformed your space! You did a great job and hubby, well, he’s a real keeper! The mural is fantastic! big kudos to you. So I subbed to your Chanel and I’ll be popping in again just to see what you’re up to. Come on over and visit me even though, as I said,our interests are different it’s always fun to see what others do. Patti
Thank you and welcome! I’m so glad my video ended up on your Home Screen and the fact that you stayed is the biggest compliment ever! 😍 We had so much fun remodeling this room and I love having a new organized space to craft in. I’m so glad you subscribed. I have a little bit of crafting, a little DIY and decor, some really yummy recipes, and a few travel videos thrown in the mix. I’m currently weaving a wall hanging and hope to have that video up soon. Thanks again for watching and now I’m about to head to your channel to check it out.

That mural tho 😍♥️🥰 I actually talk to pens too; they all BEG to come home with me! And my planner room welcomes all sizes, colors and shapes 🤣 again, love your space and got a few ideas, thank you ♥️
I mean how are we supposed to leave all of these beautiful items in the store when they are begging for a good home! 😜 So glad I’m not alone in this! So glad you found my channel! ♥️

Cleaning out the craft room is like Christmas! So much forgotten… so many memories 😂
I know, that’s my favorite part! 🎄🎅🏻♥️🤣
Oh my goodness! You’re giving me inspiration… I can’t even walk in my craft room, in fact, I stop doing crafts because I can’t walk in my craft room! Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to redo everything so I am just at a loss, but it breaks my heart to try to get rid of everything… I’ll keep watching for more inspiration from you. Thank you.
You don’t need to spend a dime. Actually, you could probably sell some of your craft supplies you don’t need anymore on Facebook marketplace and then use that money to buy some items to help you organize! You can do it! ❤️
"Because...pens!" LOLOL!! I can SO relate - not necessarily for pens, but beads and charms and other pretty things. :-)
😂 Oh I have it really bad for beads too! You should check out my room tour to see all of the details of my addiction…I mean craft room! 😜
Me too!!!! LOL

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I have a huge cabinet of fabric, three sewing machines, an embroidery machine and a serger - AND I DON’T EVEN SEW! Well, I did sew, but I haven’t in over 10 years. I realized that I had a fabric problem so I knew I needed to make a change. SO I CHANGED TO SCRAPBOOK PAPER! Then I changed to stamping, then jewelry making and now I’m thrifting and refurbishing furniture and creating home decor. I have a craft room, too and now I’ve taken over a “formal living room” (we’re not too formal around here) and created a home decor store. Nobody shops this store but me, but let’s just say that I have a little home decor problem. We won’t even talk about our “two car” garage. So, yeah, you are not alone. Wanna be friends?! ~ Linda
I love it! There are so many like us I think we need to create a support group! 😂 I love finding my people! Welcome to my channel, I’m so glad you came! ♥️

I just saw your video and the timing is perfect. I too am a craft collector and love to create and experience exactly what you described! I am in the process of moving my craft room from a 10'x11' room down to a 7'x 9' room that does not have a closet. The former bigger room did have a closet. So it has been hard and I am emotionally challenged over what to let go of. I am still in the purging stage. I have been putting items out on our front curb with a sign "free craft items" and definitely people who really want them are helping themselves and they are so grateful! Yes we often talk to the recipients. Anyway, my new craftroom was formerly a laundry room, off the kitchen. There are 3 doors and 1 window taking up walls in my new space! So not much wall space for organization or storage. Once I am finished maybe I will create a video too, if it turns out nice enough, haha. Loved your video!! I too relate to exactly what you were saying!!!
Okay you need to watch my ikea pantry hack video! That system would work great in your room and there are so many different storage options with that system. Plus you can add the doors to it and use it like a closet. Also get things up on the wall. Those peg boards are life savers! If you are looking for someone to donate art supplies to try reaching out to a local school and see if their art teacher needs them. Good luck with your craft room makeover, I hope it goes well! ♥️

I love the gold feet on your IKEA shelf, but because there is a baseboard there, I would have mounted the shelf to the wall studs. I have nine custom shelves that I designed and made and they're all mounted to the wall. My tiny space feels bigger as non of my shelving takes up floor space except for my carts which are on wheels. I ADORE craft room tours and crafty must-have videos; you really learn a lot about an artist through these types of videos.
I want to make a video of my space but I'm leery because I don't want hateful comments. I'm a newby creator so I don't feel I have enough experience to arm myself against the mean folks. I love your mural! I also love that you do different kinds of crafts, these rooms are so fun to explore; thank you for sharing! Hopefully, I get brave and post my room sometime soon. I'm sending you a couple of pictures to your email (you might feel my room is too much, but I love to SEE all my pretties, it's inspiring)!
You should definitely film your space. People are normally really nice about room tours. I love looking at craft rooms as well! ♥️
You did an amazing job. Like you, I like to see how people arrange and organize their craft rooms. That’s how I found your video. Your room may be small but having a husband that’s is not only handy but willing to help is a real plus😊! My room is larger but I live in a 1 1/2 story house, therefore all my walls are slated up toward the roof line. What I wouldn’t give for vertical space.
Love your mural.
Thanks for sharing your craft room makeover. It was very inspirational.
Thank you friend! I’m so glad you found my channel! ❤️❤️❤️
Your mural is gorgeous! I’ve been working on my craft room for ages. I have back issues so I can only work for very short spurts but it is coming along. Congrats on being finished!
Thank you friend! ♥️ Good luck on your craft room makeover!
This was amazing! I’m so inspired. Can’t wait to see your detailed videos on the mural and organization!
Thank you! The detailed video will be up later today! 😁
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
You are not alone! I love pens, fabric, and scrapbook paper!
I love knowing I’m not alone! ♥️♥️♥️
Finally! My crafting twin!! Your craft room looks awesome
😂😂😂I love it! So glad you found my channel twin! ♥️♥️♥️
I SO appreciate people who share their real, messy lives! I’m SO overwhelmed trying to set up my craft room. Seeing your progress (our “before” pics are similar) is very inspiring. Tfs!
You aren’t alone, it’s the curse of us creative beings😁😁😁 your room looks amazing and so creative 💖💖💖
😂😂😂Yes! Our brains can be so beautiful and yet so messy! 🤷🏼♀️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
I feel you, girl! This is the first video of yours I've seen, and my workroom is maybe worse than your "before".
3 hobbies: buying the craft items; using the craft items; TRYING to keep the items organized!
I have things I've purchased that I KNOW will never be used ... but they make me feel good.😂
Welcome friend! You have found your crazy cluttered crafty corner of RUclips! There are so many friends here that are just like you! So glad you found my channel! ❤️
There are sooo many artists that collect massive amounts of craft/art items! I personally have ADHD. I just spent a whole day organizing my small art area. I'm not done yet, but it looked like your 'office'. I totally get wanting to be organized and not having the mindset to get it done. It really is hard for us to keep things organized. I like your ideas. PS Your hair is beautiful!
Thank you friend! Yes the struggle is real! Good luck on finishing your project! ❤️
January 26 2024 Maryland USA: Finally a true small space to get ideas and motivated. Thiis is where I am at right now. The change in the space is to truly accomodate my creativity from sewing, embroidery, knitting…you get it. To include a small space to sort pictures for gathering up a photo albumn for my adult children and grandchild that will binded like a book to past forward and do a digital. You are doing excellent. Painting is also on my agenda. ]
Welcome friend! I’m so glad you’re here! Best of luck on your projects! Remember, set a timer and work for one hour and then give yourself a break. Also, binge watch my channel and I’ll entertain you while you clean! 😜
I must admit… 0:42 I said: “Oh Lawdie!”
Can’t wait to see how you cleaned that up! Watching keenly!
🤣🤣🤣 Oh I know friend! It was bad! Watch til the end. I think you will be impressed. ♥️
Hello, fellow pen addict! Yes! we can NEVER have too many pens or colored pencils! Brilliant to make a work space in the closet! Unfortunately, I am married to Mr. Un-handyman! He has already destroyed half of my shelves in my closet...I work in a world of angled shelves, but it works as long as I don't put something on the shelves that will roll down hill! lOL. You are absolutely right about setting an hour timer on yourself when cleaning and decluttering. An hour is plenty and brings you back the next day to keep going, but not ignoring the creative beast that needs the other waking hours of your day!
I'm also a crafter with a multitude of crafts that I enjoy. We have recently moved to a mobile home and I am looking forward to creating workable craft room. I just watched your episode on creating a craft room. Now I'm inspired 😊
Thank you for showing your mess. You are amazing. Great remodel. Way to go! Omg your mural is amazing. Very talented lady 😍
You are so sweet! Thank you! 🥰
You are not alone. I am paper crafter and rubber stamping card marker is my thing. I can never have enough rubber stamp, ink pads, scrapbooking albums and more. Rest easy you are making a big step forward to make it better.
Thank you friend! ♥️♥️♥️
"I hope we can still be friends..." Girlfriend, yes we can! Best friends! Thank you for sharing this. My tiny room looks similar to this. I have no idea where to start, thank you again.
I also do various crafts, jewelry as you do, mixed media, watercolor, and sewing mainly.
You have inspired me to get my space together.
Thank you friend! Keep me posted on your progress with your room. ❤❤❤
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
I'm thankful I'm not the only one who has a room like that. Maybe this will inspire me to clean mine. lol
Yes! You can do it!!! ♥️♥️♥️
"You are not alone, I am there with you, though we're far apart we share the same heart, the luv for all things crafty. We are crazy and we make the world go around lol. I'm a new sub, I'm organizing my space as well, just purchased some things from Jo Anne's and Micheal's. My living room has turned into my workspace, no couch end tables nothing. I'm building a craft box for my paper and stuff and have two amours, one for jewelry and the other for yarn and fabric. Like you I have varied interests. It's a blessing and a curse. I thought about putting the camera on me and fast forwarding it. The room looks gorgeous. You are so fortunate to have a man who is handy.
Awww I love this! Thank you friend! Best of luck with your craft room redo!
You are not alone. I too have a crafting problem. My place is so small, I’m always trying to reorganize to make my space work for me.
Make the most of that wall space! It is key! Btw, I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Sometimes those random videos RUclips puts in your feed turn out to be just the most wonderful thing. I'm not even a Crafter. What I do relate to is the whole if I can't do it perfect it's going to sit over there and I'm going to put blinders on that is so me. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Welcome friend! ♥️ I’m so glad RUclips sent you to my channel! You are so sweet! I share a little bit of everything on here thanks to my ADHD my brain which is never satisfied with just one topic! 🤦♀️I know you say you aren’t a crafter but I say you just aren’t a crafter yet! 😜 Thanks for subscribing! ♥️
I'm going LIVE today (July 30th) at 3pm CST. Hope you will join me!
Your video made me smile to know that I am not alone.
That makes my heart happy! ❤️
That mural is everything! First time I've seen your channel and I'm subscribing just because of the talent in that mural.
Thank you friend and welcome! ♥️♥️♥️
oh my gosh!! I luv the little guys "wrist screw driver"
😂He’s such a helper! 😍
You are not alone. I am right there with you. Currently actively avoiding craft clutter right now!!!! Your room turned out beautifully. Your mural is GORGEOUS!!!
Thanks friend, I feel you! I avoided that mess for way too long!
@@goodgollygal Well, you inspired me. I just picked up a couple of organizers from Michael's that I've been wanting/needing to help me get back in the groove and get this place shaped up.
@@jittersaunt way to go friend! It’s going to feel so good getting it all organized! I’m excited for you! ♥️ Keep me posted!
First time watching your video. It gave me some hope . I have a craft room that looks like yours did. I barely have a walkway and no room to create. I tend to avoid going in there. Your makeover is beautiful and the organization is fabulous. I hope to get my room cleaned and organized one day. Unfortunately I’m now 71 and not in the best of health, but I still love to create and will get there, maybe not as nice as yours but at least a room I can work in. Thanks for sharing this adventure. I like your storage ideas.💕
Thank you friend! Best of luck on getting yours organized! You can do it!
Around 13 minutes… you started describing me! I’m sitting in the middle of a room now trying to organize a craft space. It’s a much larger room. No money and way too many types of crafts. And to add to that is the emotional chaos that comes along with the organizing right now because probably 90 % of it is my late wife’s (just two months ago). She was an avid crafter that didn’t like being bored. So we have a virtual craft store in the entire house. Trying to make heads or tails out of it is waaaaay overwhelming. Thank you for showing your realness and not being “perfect”
Oh friend I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s hard enough to try and clean a space when there is so much to organize but then you throw in the emotional aspect of this project and it’s overwhelming. My suggestion for you is to first get out the trash. Put on a great show or a podcast and just start throwing away. Next get boxes and begin to sort through items that you want to donate. I recommend taking these items to an art teacher. They love donations and just think how happy the kids will be making art thanks to you and your wife’s generous donation. Once all of that is done you can decide what to keep or sell. Just be kind to yourself during this process. Set an alarm and just start with an hour of work in the room. If it starts to be too much then take a break. As much as it hurts to clear through her things you can honor her by cleaning the space and donating those items for kids to make art. I know I didn’t know her but I think she would have loved that. ❤️
@@goodgollygal thank you for the response and tips. I do have avenues to donate some of the things, other family members who are also crafty and “buy nothing sell nothing” local Facebook groups (where she received many things herself). Some crafts we mutually enjoyed so I will hang on to those supplies. She had such a creative mind and had so many projects started - that’s been the heartbreaking part - coming across the things she never had time to finish. It’s too early for me to let some of that go. Some of them I may be able to finish “for her”. She was constantly making and giving. I applaud your ability to organize. I felt you in your other video about being organized but it has to be a simple system to stay that way or becomes a scene from hoarders! - that is/was either/both of us! Your yarn storage was a neat idea… I would need to cover the entire 23’ wall with those units to maybe have enough room for all her yarn lol. It would definitely be beautiful with all the color and texture, but I would also need to take out a second mortgage to buy them lol. So next is trying to figure out storage and a system with no $ and no major construction skills! Thank you again for the kind words and I’m glad I came across your channel!
