Well, the cull still continues and as you came here to see my desk this is it - the counter space I sometimes work at (where my inks are).
and the part where I sit and put my knees underneath
is blocked off with my die cut trolley and a cabinet - so no crafting can be done as there is no space to work. But I still have my table - or do I?
So on account of my back problem progress is slow but sure and now most of the stamps are sorted. The only ones not touched as yet are the Aall & Create ones but i can see me keeping most of them. The original idea of using the tiered boxes did not work out. Much easier to sort through a tin when they are stood on end than when they are lying on top of one another,
So this is my tidied cupboard with the stamps .
The labels on the tins are just temporary ones until I decide if the mix in them is the right one. The top row and the next one down contain my 'saved' stamps. You can see I have saved one tiered box as some stamps were on A4 sheets so needed a big surface. Below them in the see through boxes and the one cream tin are my Lavinia stamps. (These used to be on the other side of the room real handy to reach but I think they will be just as good there.)
The pink book holders contain my scraps in different colour folders and then there is a bag of odd Dylusion stamps and my Parisian chest is next which is the main home for them. Lastly below that are the various files housing A4 stencils, ATC's, worksheets etc and finally my green tub with all kinds of twine/cotton in it.
I just need to get the top of this cupboard sorted but that is a job for Chas as I cannot possibly reach up there. This is the mess it is in, thank goodness the dust doesn't show as it is not on the regular cleaning rota.

Happy WOYWW! You have been far busier than me; I blame the day job... you seem to be doing a good job with the "cull" and finding treasures too.... good luck with the rest of it. Helen #1
You've been a busy bee in your craft room. Great to see the progress you've been making with your spring clean/cull. I used to love the idea of decorating dressmaker dummies too. Had a few around to alter but didn't do as much as I thought I would lol. P xxxx
You are doing a grand job there Neet. It takes such a time to clean, clear and tidy doesn't it. I've been spring cleaning and washed curtains which shrank so had a re hemming job this morning. I hate doing curtains but they do look nice and fresh now. Have a good week.x x Jo 🌈
It’s like the latest adventure in the Indiana Jones series where he discovers long lost treasure in your craft room, lol! I do admire you for tackling it, it’s a big job but a very worthwhile one. It reminds you of all the amazing stuff you’ve worked on over the years xx

Half the fun when doing a clear out is finding all those forgotten treasures - and also a little bit of guilt when you something you longed for that you had quite honestly forgotten about!! And also some things that you don't actually remember buying! Sorry to hear your back is still bad, really wishing you some relief it is the most annoying of pains as it affects your whole core. Knew you would like little Splodge's photo. He is growing up so fast. He can sing Twinkle twinkle all the way through on his own and has got to the stage where he can 'read' along with his favourite storybooks when you read to him. He now does little sentences and is just too darn cute - wonder if it will survive the terrible twos? I love to see him grow but hate to say goodbye to each stage. Looking forward to a day with him tomorrow (though I will doubtless be wrecked and exhausted by the time he goes home!! Happy WOYWW, Love n hugs Cindyxx #4
Your cupboard looks great.I bet you'll enjoy it. It's a lot of work, isn't it? I always find it hard to decide what to keep and what to toss. But it feels good to do it though, especially once done. Have fun with the rest of your cleaning. And take care. hugs-Erika
So much useful stuff!
