This is a recurring theme with me, and I suspect many crafters. For one reason our another, the space that previously worked fine its just not doing it any more.
Maybe you need more storage, maybe you just need a change. But it must be redone.
This is the position I found myself in last week. I knew that not only did I have guests coming, but that I would be introducing a new wheel to my space. (my 5 year old spins, it is his new wheel)
Just after he got his wheel, inspecting his new fiber stash.
Not to mention the terrible mess in there… The room needed a redo.
So, I moved the snap press table out, and the tv, cleaned up the trash, and brought in a comfy chair.
My knitting nook
Then I reordered the laundry table. I decided that i need more storage, so ordered another set of cube shelves…My sewing machine moved off the desk and into the bookshelf… And I finally have wall art… Even though only quotes…
Wall art printed off my computer
I created a spindle storage solution in my existing cubbies…
The Existing cubbies
which even now, are far more full- the reason I am getting more. when the new cubbies arrive, I will be adding them on to the side and top of the existing ones. the set I am waiting for is a set of 4, which I think SHOULD get me a full five cubbies added on to my existing ones. and that will work well, since I will still have room for my baskets, and will have gained additional storage for batt add-ins and fiber.
I’ll update when I get the new stuff.

What room is your craft stuff in? Mine is in a corner of my living room. But I find I need more more space. Especially now that I got all that fiber with my wheel. I’m going cubby hunting this afternoon. I want to find something so I can get my yarn out of the rubbermaid container and onto shelves too.

My Studio space is what was meant to be the formal living room in my house. It was originally in the dining room space, which started because at first I had just a corner of it, but as it grew, and in order to get to the kitchen you had to go through this messy crazy craft space. so it moved. Now, I can completely shut off my studio space when I have guests on ocasion.
