My new craft room

We moved to a new house, and the first thing I did was setting up my new room for claying! :)) I love my new room! It is very sunny and warm, just gorgeous! :))) I wish I never had to leave this room :)))
A view from the door:


I keep all my claying stuff on shelves and in drawer chest from IKEA (my favorite series of theirs - Leksvik). There I have instruments, epoxy resin, paints, pastels, seed beads, and so on. The table in the middle is very light by weight, so it is easy to take it and put it by the window. It is my table for taking pictures of jewellery.In those plastic boxes on a table I keep all my Etsy stuff :)

Books and magazines about polymer clay

Here I keep commercial beads and findings for making jewellery

My joy - my new oven! :) I bought it cheap from eBay and it is wonderful. Unlike my old oven, this one hold the temperature nicely, so now I can just put my beads in it for a certain time, and go away. With my old oven I had to sit next to it, and to manually control the temperature by turning oven on and off :)))

Working table. Using moving house as an excuse I took this table into my room :)) It is a computer table, but it very heavy, which is ideal for attaching a pasta machine to it. The handy lamp is from IKEA.

I keep clay inside the table, easy to reach.

At the moment I am trying out molds for miniature bakery I bought from this shop). I like seeing other people's miniature food, so I decided to give it a go and try making some :)

My little bonsai, I wanted to keep it in my room, but I am afraid it is too hot for it on this window, so we had to move it into a different room.


And finally one of my trial cakes.

  10. Your new studio has made my green eye monster go crazy and i am doing that I can to hold it in check.

    Moving house can be so stressful but you have the most important room put away quickley which should help to ease the stress of the move to no end.

    It all looks so well organised.

    I love that new food theme ring it way cute.
