Shed-Oh!

I haven't been out to the shed-oh, for a couple of weeks as I've the flu and then it snowed. My husband asked me to not go out, because he was afraid I'd slip and fall in the snow (I have chronic vertigo that comes and goes and I never know when it's gonna hit), but thought I would share a picture of the current mess on my work table, a clean corner, and an idea I had for my small ephemera boxes.

mess!

a clean corner behind the shed door

 paper trays plus bead boxes = neat storage!

It's getting there!

Studio Shed Storage

Since the craftin' barn was built, I've been busy looking for storage solutions in my half of the building (the other half my hubbin has claimed for a library/office). We've been making trips to thrift shops to purchase shelving units, office equipment and other odds and ends. I even began a board on Pinterest for interesting storage ideas that might work for my barn. On one wall, my hubbin put up a pegboard for me and Harbor Freight had the necessary post hardware to insert into the holes.

I have kept rubber stamps in shoeboxes, in dishwasher tubs, and shirt-sized gift boxes, disposable plastic mother-board clam-shell boxes (a computer part abt the size of a sandwich) my hubbin saved for me from work stacked on an old VHS video shelf in my kitchen. However when my husband was laid off from his computer warehouse job in August 2011, I've taken to storing my stamps in reclaimed plastic VHS clamshell boxes on a bookshelf in my new studio shed. The posts inside the box can be removed with a rotary craft knife.

It's getting there.
