Hasty Updates and Admissions

This Hasty Crafter's life has been turned upside-down for the last week and a half, but I'm doing my best to stay on top of things! Think of this post like a clip show from your favorite sitcom, but without the laugh track.

First, from the bleach pen experiment:

Here's the result from Enthusiasm's shirt. She loves that the bleach turned the design pink instead of white. My fingers are itching to try it one more time and see if I can't get some white inside the design. I definitely need to do that to my blue pants--I'm not fond of the subtle look there.

Now on to the admissions:

That's my desk after it's been cleaned. *hangs head* I fought the paper monster, and the paper monster won. BUT! The coordinating drawer fronts and fleece over the chair help it a little bit. There is *some* cohesiveness to my life! And I decided to try something similar for my figurines shelf:

Some 12x12 scrapbook paper, some double-sided sticky tape, and voila! Emphasis on my eclectic collection.

Last, but not least, the Hasty Idea Basket:

This is the place where I keep materials for the small projects that are perpetually in the back of my mind--dishcloths, crocheted hair ties, ribbon hair bands (tutorial next week!) and so on. I believe my method is called Organized Chaos. I'll take it. At least I know where everything is.
