I started moving my stuff into the studio today, it only took a few minutes to make it look a complete mess. I can't make my mind up where everything should go but I suppose it will easier once I start working and find out what's best. Helen gave me a moving in gift, the blue heart shaped clock, it's just propped up on there for now.
My bookshelf is filling up with nick nacks and books (!) there are still two empty shelves, I think I will buy some baskets for those.
I had hoped the Cricut boxes would stand vertically but they don't fit, never mind, I can read them more easily on their sides. I wasn't sure how to store my loose dies but discovered that the hanging basket is ideal for them.
This was a black plastic picture frame from Ikea, I sat out in the sunshine this morning and painted it blue. I am going to fill the centre with cork and cover it with fabric to make a message board.
Helen came to help and obviously decided to play with my camera when I wasn't there, I can only think that she wanted me to post her photo on my blog, so here you are Helen :)
Its looking lovely. I love that die cutting area, so handy to have everything at hand like that.

Great space. All you need now is a mini fridge to keep your chocolate cool!
