Crafty Companion by Jen Of Eve Designs

I have wanted to make a crafty workstation for a long time, but I didn't know where to start.  Last week this pop-up on my YouTube Channel and I had to make one.
We were up at our cabin when I first saw it.  I went right away and ordered her template and workbook (what a clever idea).  I ordered the Collage 2 from Jenofevedesigns
The videos are long but she does a great job of explaining things.
I printed everything up that I needed and started by making the garbage bowl and Stamping station.  When I got home I created the Workbook.  That was a job but I really like how easy it is to use once you get it made.  Lots of laminating and cutting things out.  Totally worth it in the end.

Here are the Garbage Bowl and Stamping Station that I made to keep up at our Cabin.  I didn't have any pattern paper with me but I did have an old Atlas that I got from a friend at their garage sale.  Sometimes you just have to use what you have!  So I did.  I love how they turned out. You can see the workbook too before I made the binding.


Here is the Workbook after I used my Bind-it-all.  It was my first time using it.  Not a great job but it is done.


So here is my completed (well almost completed) Crafty Companion.  I love it.  I decided to use more maps from the Atlas because they were 17" x 14" and I would be able to cover the sides and the back with one sheet.  Here it is holding all the leftover bits and pieces.  Love it!
I used maps that have places that I have traveled too.  It really makes me smile when I look at the different parts.


I wanted something to hold all my project parts and pieces and this fills the bill!  I can see using it all the time.

I don't have the drawer pulls yet.  They will be here on Monday.  Ugh!!!  Oops I just noticed in this picture that I didn't paint the inside of the garbage bowl so it is very white and bright.  I will have to take care of that ASAP!  It sure makes a big difference doesn't it?  I will add another photo of it after I get it painted.


I am by no means done with this project.  I will continually add things as I find them and that go with my theme.  I have lots of Tickets and such that I can use to decorate with.


I really was planning on make lots of Lg, Med, Small, and Filler drawers but when I was finished I had 4 Full trays.  Not quite sure how that happen but it is what it is.  I can also make the other drawers and switch them out as needed.  Yes, I will go with that!  LOL!  That is what I meant to do.
I will post a picture when I get my drawer pulls.

Thanks for stopping by and if you make one let me know and post a picture of it for all of us to see.
