A movable feast. String and clips make changing things easy
Hey, I just noticed that every one of these peeps used the string and clip idea. In these two pictures they used clothes pins. I LOVE clothes pins and I love hanging my laundry out to dry. Smells so good!
This one is just a bit too chaotic for a chronic straightener of pictures. It looks like they used a big piece of fabric for a bulletin board. Clever!WhipUp.net is the brainchild of Kathreen Ricketson and I stumbled upon it while looking for cool pictures of inspiration walls.
It's a group blog and I love this series on organizing your craft area. Lots of great pictures and hints. I have cut down on my crafty stuff quite a bit since it starts to get overwhelming, particularly for someone with ADD. Pretty soon I had so many projects and so much stuff that I could no longer make a decision on what to do next. The result of that was I did nothing.
Even though I will never quilt (just too tedious for moi), I have always admired that quilters seem to be focused on quilting and not scads of different things to do.
What's your inspiration?
Update:
Well, shut my mouth and call me corn pone! Guess Mighty Mom set moi straight (again). (She's one bossy lady! I think it's a nurse thing...)
Here's what she's got to say about quilters:

Scuse me...I just squirted Dr Pepper out my nose, my mouth and my ears! My eyes are bulging from not being able to breathe....
Let me give you a glimpse into my "craft area" as well as my quilting/crafting to do list....
I'll be back once I recover with a couple links...quilters aren't focused...we're frantically trying to keep our UFO (UnFinished Object) list small enough to have a hope of finishing them all before age 100....and most quilters also do other handiwork...which means more incomplete projects waiting in the closets.......

I have to start taking photos of my work area - you will be so grossed out!

I'll be back.
each bag contains an unfinished project and all it's necessary equipment....

my current crafting todo list has 14 items on it...that I can remember so far today....
oh and try flannel for a design wall...stuff will stick to it and stay without needing to be taped or pinned most of the time....
and all of those are too visually overwhelming for me....I do better with less chaos. ;-)
Terry - I would LOVE to see your work area!!! Pleeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!
How I LAUGHED reading about quilters being organized and focused! Yup, I'm with MightMom, I hope to outlive my UFO's! Although being a quilter is a highlight in my life, I am also a baker, cook, preserver of garden produce, a voracious reader, a volunteer, and a grandmother and wife! Hey, I didn't use flannel (a good choice) for my design wall. I used styrofoam insulation board. Comes 4x8 ft sheets, I used two, I just cut out the areas where I had an outlet, head register etc. I used the 1.5" thick stuff, and I stick my stuff on it with pins!
