Welcome to another Wednesday with sharing of the workspaces. The STAMPING GROUND is where it all begins.
I have not been at my crafty space since last week working on any projects. Almost immediate after I made my last weeks post, I was called to meet at the ER, my mother had a stroke and was later that night put in the hospital. She is somewhat better and has returned to the Manor. It affected her left side. Her speech came back, but her arm and leg are bad. She will be doing therapy to see if she can once again stand and regain her mobility. It's a tough go for all of us.
Here are a few photos of the start of my reorganizing the crafty space.
This is the West side of the area, the table above was moved to connect to the desk you normally see.
This is the east wall just left of my normal working table. and this long white buffet was moved to the space of the metal table. And all of the top ribbon holders have been moved to the garage to be painted. Ribbon is almost all in jars, baskets by color.
Here on the floor are my plastic helpers, they make it a one person job to slide across the room etc.
As I would never want anyone to see or go thru such a move. It's un explainable to non crafty friends or family. There are times you have to crawl under the object you are moving. to be able to move it
All of the objects moved also had a huge array of containers under them. They are all pretty much in place again. Time to put away fall and take out winter/Christmas makings but only in this crafty space.
I have most of it in place and sorted out and it is so much better. Next week photos of that.
Thank you for all your visits and lovely comments. It's been another week of outdoor drizzle and gloom here. No sun, temps in the 30's and wind. Snow predictions for Friday.
Have a Happy WOYWW

Hi Sylvia, sending many good wishes for your Moms recovery. The craft room reorganisation looks quite a mammoth job! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #5 XxX
So sorry to hear about hour mom - hope things soon move in the right direction for her - and you.
Such a busy craft room - I would be at a loss as to where to start so i guess one end and work through.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
Sad news about your Mam, hope the physio goes well.
That looks one big piece of work going on there, reorganising a craft room is always difficult.

So sorry to hear about your mum Sylvia, what a worrying week you've had. I hope she continues to make a steady recovery. I am loving your craft space, what a huge area you have and so much wonderful stuff - I imagine it's been an enormous task.
Sending a hug across the ocean,

I'm really sorry to hear about your mum Sylvia. I hope she responds well to physical therapy. Love the expanded view of your craft space this week. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #17
oh, Sylvia, your poor Mum!! I hope the therapy helps her recover mobility. Loving your crafty space though, although it looks a mammoth job to organise (my living room is in need of similar help!) Helen #1
Oh Sylvia, what a grim horrible shock. Am so glad that your dear Mother has her speech back already, not being able to communicate is so frustrating. I’m not at all surprised that you havent managed any crafting and erm, jeepers..the room looks HUGE from these photos! You are right though, no non crafter would ever understand....
Wow Sylvia that looks like a big job and a great space too. I understand how you must be feeling with your mum as mine has been in Hospital and the convalescence for six weeks and dad in another care home so the whole visit takes at least five hours. Still we are lucky to still have them. The coloured houses you asked about are the stamps just above the picture. Hope you have a great week and a lovely woyww, Angela x15x
So very sorry to hear that your mom is not doing well. I remember when my parents were ailing. I was 500 miles away, so every visit took a weekend. But I'm glad I had those times with them. Looks like you have lots going on in your craft space.
I'm really so sorry to hear about your Mother Sylvia, sending hugs and everything crossed for a quick recovery. Such a shock for you all.
Your creative space is HUGE, how wonderful to be able to lose yourself in that space. I hope the reorganisation is going to plan?
Creative woyww wishes Tracey #3
P.S Take Care
Oh Sylvia, I am so sorry to hear about your mum, and I hope that she makes steady improvement from now on. Very well done with your reorganisation - what a great space you've got! - and I hope you find it therapeutic after such a worrying week. I hope by now you've got some better news about how she's getting on. Thank you for your lovely comment, and I'm so glad you like my current yarn projects! They seem to have taken over from paper ones lately. Sorry you no longer have 2 kitties. Having 2 is such fun. Ours look very alike superficially, but their little characters are so different! They are an endless joy every day.
Happy belated WOYWW - sorry about the delay - been a busy few days!
