As mentioned previously, all crafty projects were on hold until my sewing stuff and the play room were organized. "Check" and "Check". We installed this cubby/shelf (TRABY system from IKEA) last Christmas, and I have loved its versatility. It is extremely sturdy, and the cubbies are larger than what I had seen in other similar systems, easily holding large storage bins and baskets.
A new addition during this organize is a craft supply shelf that Charlie can access herself (top right cubby in photo above). I keep it stocked with colored paper, ribbon and fabric scraps, scissors, glue, crayons, chalk, and stickers. She has loved being able to work on "projects" without having to ask me to get something down for her. Some of the resulting collages are hanging on the clothesline above the bookshelf.
On the other side of the room in her kitchen, you can see the 1950's highchair brought by Santa and one of little vintage tablecloths she likes to spread out for the parties she sets up. The collection of wooden railway bits and pieces, which expanded over the holidays, are stored in the bins on the right-hand side of the photo below. Charlie was thrilled with all the little changes to her room, like the shelves Paul installed in her kitchen to the right of the stove.
