6 INCH SQUARE SYNDROME
« on: March 18, 2006, 05:49:09 PM »
Picture the scene....................house quiet :o day to yourself ;D settle down for a nice bit of cardmaking on a nice tidy table. :D  So why the heck do you end up working in a 6 inch square of space within 10 minutes?? >:( Why did I buy an A3 cutting mat when I only use an A5 sized bit of it??  Please tell me I'm not on my own here.  Am I just that untidy?[/color]

I don't need to picture the scene i live in it. My 7yr old grandaughter shares my craft room, the other day i went in and couldn't believe what she had done, without being asked she had taken it upon herself to tidy up. I wondered if she was trying to tell me something bless her little cotton socks, hence i couldn't find a thing and i am still looking for some things.

I'm so pleased it's not just me then, but still no-one has explained why!! :D
Ha! Been there done that Pixie ;)  First place I check now is grandaughters bits and pieces.  Usually find some of my "posh" stuff lurking with hers. :o[/color]

BarbD ... I think you are just boasting ... 6 INCHES??? - what luxury ... I end up with about 2 inches and most of the stuff does a *lemming* and jumps off the end. Still ... not everyone gets to glitter their toes on a regular basis! ;D

Sorry, I really wasn't boasting, honest :( It might be less.....I measured in silly stuff and then quoted proper stuff.  Can't cope with all this foreign measuring. [/color]

Hi there BarbD, thanks for your reply to me earlier re night time crafting. I laughed when I read about your six inches of work space as I have ordered a new (huge) dining room table because mine is only a miniscule five foot by three foot and all my stuff keeps falling off the end ! I hope the furniture people give me plenty of warning before they turn up as it will probably take days to clear my stuff off ...lol    MaggieB :)

You're lucky I only have a small table and have to share it with my two daughters as they won't let me craft alone when they're not at school.  :)

You're probably right Pixie.  Either that or I'm just to lazy to get up and put one thing away before getting another out.  Takes too much time when you are on a roll with ideas ;)[/color]Lubilu......now who's boasting?? ;D ;D Five foot by three foot.....I wish!  I'm one end of a 3ft6 by 2ft6 :(  Gets cleared everytime we want to eat :-[

I started off on the dining room table, then spilled over into the lounge, so we cleared out the spare room and I moved up here, But I still only have a space about the same size as you to work on :) :), The rest of the house is really tidy, but my work room, no chance, I say its because I am so creative :) :)

Hi Sue G.....I started out doing craft on a tray but little did I know it would become an obssession. The reason I have such a big table is because we all craft when the grand children come round (and there are a lot of them !) They love going home with their bits and pieces. And I get to buy more stuff cos they take all my posh bits....ha ha
I hope youve had a good day SueG....Regards Maggie B

Hi everyone just  had the giggles reading about the 6inches  remember its not the size what matters its what you do either with it or in it that counts
 ;D ;D ;D mind you its easy for me to say hubbys just bought me a six foot yes i did say six foot summer house to do my crafting in but i still end up in a tiny square by the time i have decided what to make, i
swear one of these days hubby will find me under the ever growing mountain of stuff, you may start with a few inches but beware it will take over  every coner of the house til it spills into the shed, garage and anywhere else you can find its so addictive, i think we should set up the crafters annonymous ::)

Well now Piggin, isn't that odd!  The 2 foot we start crafting in soon turns to 6 inches, but the 2foot we start storing stuff in soon becomes a whole room full.  Bizarre eh?!? ::)[/color]
