My Dirty Little Secret...

Here's a tidbit of info. about me.  I don't like alot of "things".  I decorate very minimally, don't like clutter, do like everything in its place, and if I don't use it, I don't keep it, unless I think I can use it as a craft supply!

If you looked inside my pantry closet, you would see everything in its place with things like batteries and light bulbs tucked neatly in pretty matching baskets.  Even the plastic grocery bags have their own little area hanging neatly on the door.  And if you're wondering, yes, it does stay like this 95% of the time.

But, like everyone else, I have a dirty little secret!  We all have that collection of something that we have way too many of, be it shoes, handbags, or jewelry.  So, here is my confession, "My name is Susie, and I am a hoarder of craft EVERYTHING!!!"  Fabric, ribbon, vinyl, thread, beads, yarn, patterns, packaging, you name it - I probably got it!  It's like my own private little craft store.

My daughter sent me this pin from pinterest yesterday.

I'm a fabricaholic on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I'm on the road to the fabric store. on Tan Quotes - 1.5" Pinback Button

I have TOO MUCH FABRIC!!!  Sad, but true!

When the shelf in my craft room closet finally snapped from piles of supplies, I knew it was time to tame the madness and purge, purge, purge!  But because I simply cannot part with anything that might be able to be used to make something, a trait that my youngest daughter has also inherited from yours truly, I started cutting and sewing like a mad woman and have used those supplies to do what I do best, create! 

Then I decided, why stop there?  So this girl got busy!  I hired someone to refresh my blog, logo, and Etsy store (You'll see the results in the next few weeks - Yay!)  I started creating several DIY tutorials, which I will be sharing with you soon on my blog.  And finally, I finished decorating and organizing my long overdue craft room - a two year process!  In order to make it an more organized space, I decided it was time to part with some supplies.  Some went to goodwill, some were donated to classrooms, some in the trash (OUCH!), and some will be listed in my Etsy store for sale.

So... my two year in the making online Etsy store will be stocked and ready to go soon!  Woo Hoo!  Of course I will still be accepting custom orders, but you will also have the option of purchasing items that are ready to go!  Perfect if you're needing a special gift in a hurry!  Some of these items are one of a kind, so if you see something you like, snatch it up because I may not be able to recreate another one like it!

Looking forward to sharing my updates with you.  Stay tuned!
