Getting Too Big for Our Britches

Katie and I looked around her house the other day and realized that we're outgrowing our workspace. We have hundreds of jewelry pieces, cascading down her exposed brick wall, 2 work tables, a shelf full of supplies and a designated area for show display pieces. The below picture doesn't do my explanation enough justice. There are oodles of props under the table and lots more spots around Katie's that look similar to the one below. The two of us have learned that being organized is definitely key in a small workspace.

Designing and creating jewelry is so much easier when our scavenged finds are organized by finish and size, etc. I now get excited when I find new ways of organizing our stuff. Another essential in our space is music. Crafting sessions feel strange without the sounds of Fleet Foxes in the background. My Friday nights usually consist of Katie's ipod mixes, a few glasses of wine and lots of crafting - which is fine with me. :) I wonder if others' craft spaces are similar to ours. I would love to hear if anyone has tips on maintaining a small studio. Happy Friday, everyone.
