The tidying & organisation...

...is coming along.

I now have the table that Mum gave me, in place and in use. It is a bit cluttered at the moment as I'm still sorting stuff out but I do have some space and I have been taking advantage of being able to have a bit of a play. The chairs were another 'gift' - Suzie (Weasel) had been given some chairs by her fella to see what would suit her needs best...
....these were two that were surplus to her requirements. The cushion pads are a set that I have had for some time. Originally bought to put on the garden chairs, they have remained un-used as I rarely get a chance to sit out in the garden and when I do, I tend to sit on the bench.
Despite the mess created by gradually getting organised...
...the table is perfectly big enough to have two folk crafting side-by-side...
 ...or it will be once I get this lot sorted and put away LOL.
I said I had managed a bit of a play...
...I found this amongst my stash - it is a "Pub card" - and will make a good addition to my card collection...
 ...I'm never much good at cards for guys...
...so it's good to know that I have this one 'ready to go' as and when the occasion arises.
 I tried several angles to try and show as much detail as possible...
 ...and I think that's about as good as you're gonna get LOL.

All this tidying has been un-earthing some forgotten treasures. This was tucked in the bottom of a bag containing a variety of stash and to be honest, I'd forgotten that I'd even bought it...
...as you can probably see, it is a mug with a fabric jacket. The 'jacket' covers both the outside and the inside of the mug and has loads of little pockets - in & out. A perfect place to put those smaller items that you use all the time. At the moment I have a 4" pair of scissors, a craft knife (and blades), a journaling pen and a variety of glue sticks. I'm sure that this too will change as I progress with this tidying and organising lark but it'll do for the time being.........................................................

Your craft space is coming along nicely. I love the mug holder with the pockets, I'm sure you'll find that really handy.
