WORD TO THE WISE....AND CRAFTY

The queen of all things crafty, Martha Stewart

Martha's perfectly organized personal attic craft space
I don't consider myself a huge crafter. HOWEVER, I do shop at Michaels from time to time, mostly because I like to see what's new in their MARTHA section. Always something cool and, tell me, who can resist the colors and packaging? Martha just gets it right. Good news is that from now through Saturday, the 20th, all of her craft supplies at Michaels are a whopping 30% off! Time to stock up, my crafty friends! Now, if they would only silence all those halloween decorations with annoying sounds that play incessantly....

Ooo... Colour coordinated stuff! I love it! I wonder if Martha sometimes has a messy desk at home?? =D Trudi

She is definitely very organized lady. Sorry we don’t have Michaels here in Australia but it is always inspiring to check her webpage. Her “green loft workroom” is perfect.
Great Blog
Thank You

Anne-
I love the Martha boxes for home baked or hand made items. For me it is the packaging that is part of the presentation. I stock up on them as the holidays approach. Great for teachers gifts or simple gifts from the heart.
Now, can we talk craft room... I would lock that door and never come out!

Martha's line at Michaels is great -- once picked up a pack of labels with scalloped edges that were just so pretty.

Hope you're having a fanstastic week, Anne!

Martha's space is lovely! Love the green desk.

Hello Roseline,
Yes, thanks, having a great week and hope you are as well! Lovely scalloped labels fit you perfectly.

Hi Laura~
I agree - I love that green desk, too! Hope you are well!

I have major obsession with Martha - and this room is just the BOMB! I would kill to have a snoop around xx

annechovie said...

Hello Emma! Thanks for coming by and commenting. Ditto for me!

I know! Those decorations are very loud. I have a 4 month old and have to find away around them because they are scary. I don't know what Michaels is thinking. They are phasing out a lot of their yarns too. And in case others read my comment, Michaels accepts competitors' coupons. It's not widely advertised so I thought I would pass this along.
