Operation:Clean Up, Fix Up My Workspace.March 1 Blog Challenge

Sharyl McMillian-Nelson over at Sharyl's Jewelry & Reflections is hosting this great blog hop to encourage us all to do  a job which is such a chore for most of us but when done will make jewelry making even more of a pleasure than it already is. I've had great intentions but had company all week and haven't accomplished much yet. Check back at close of play on Saturday when I hope to have some results.
My previous "Studio In The Wall"
If you've been reading my log over the last year you might remember how I organized my studio in a double closet in my apartment. It was great but I was starting to overflow it!
Main Studio Space
Now that I've moved into a large house I have much more room but am much less organized. I even have two areas to work in with part 2 in the basement but i have to organize how to work between the 2 areas since my main studio space is on the second floor.




Studio "Part Deux" for noisy, noxious activities like hammering, adding patina, tumbling, metalwork and also where my polymer clay is stored for now.



Work Table
I know that we all have a work surface like this at times but hopefully I can improve on it with better organization.
Laptop,Books! (and more storage)
I'm hoping to build a set of shelves closer to my worktable so it's easier to access all my supplies. It's Friday the day before the blog hop and nothing is done yet but  I'm planning to make some changes today but not sure how much I'll get done before tomorrow.

Please hop on over to the blogs of all the participants and see what's been accomplished. Thank you, Sharyl ,for creating and hosting this challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what's been done and maybe pick up some ideas to help with my space.

  2. You will get there. Just tackle one corner at a time and don't look at the "big picture" too often. That's what can be overwhelming! :)

  3. Thanks so much for posting your photos for the blog hop! I'll be sure to check back for an update! I think your first space in the double-closet was a brilliant idea that might help many without much space! Your new location offers lots a great options for spreading out and that's fun too! Thanks again for participating and very best wishes! --Sharyl

    1. The organization has begun! Not as compact as the closet but I think it will be much easier to work in.....no claustrophobia as I now have a window and lots more space. I'm glad you liked my Studio in the Wall. It was one of my more brilliant ideas if I do say so myself. Please check my post on Sunday to see what I have managed to accomplish so far.Thanks for visiting.
