What does your craft space look like?

My craft space is our second bedroom - it's pretty tiny but it has a huge cupboard which definitely comes in handy! Our house doesn't have much storage space, so this room also holds our overflow of books, vacuum cleaner, holiday decorations ... luckily the cupboard helps me hide all of that away ~___^ The walls are lined with shelves I brought at the hardware store and IKEA and most things are in cardboard boxes, also from IKEA. The boxes help corral odd shaped craft supplies, and I classify things usually depending on what type of craft they'll be used for. For example, I keep all my stamps, stamp carving tools, and ink in the one box. However, some crafts are too big for one box; my crochet hooks and knitting needles are in one box, but all of my yarn takes up another four boxes!

Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?

I'm pretty flighty when it comes to crafts so it's tough to pick! I think probably my scissor collection is my favourite though; I have special scissors for fabric, and for paper (and a pox on anyone who tries to use them for the wrong crafts!), a tiny pair of scissors on a chain for on-the-go crafts, and, of course, my trusty scalpel. I use them for sewing, paper crafts, crochet, knitting, and embroidery so I've quite often got some kind of blade in my hand. Sounds ominous, doesn't it! ~____^

What do you craft along to?

I like to listen to Triple J, SBS Pop Asia, and Welcome to Night Vale while I craft, or watch TV shows like Criminal Minds or Elementary (I'm a sucker for a crime drama!).
