I’m asian who was raised that shoes of ANY kind indoors was a cardinal sin. Now I have a fancy pair of high-arch support memory foam slippers(or flipflops I guess), so your indoor sneakers are 100% valid. Also, your sewing/creating room is organized so satisfyingly. I wish my little creative corner was half as organized and satisfying to look at 😂
you get it!!!!!! I actually wasn't raised team no shoes but now that I've been living in nyc all my adult life, I can't understand how I ever did that :') and thank you for watching!!
My mom was super strict about no shoes in the house, which was honestly nice. Now in my own house we have ancient wood floors that have large gaps and produce massive splinters, so walking around barefoot is sketchy. I want to stick with house shoes only, but not sure what to do when guests are over 😅 For now we just don't say anything and let guests wear their regular shoes 🥲
@@Sleipnirseight Guest house shoes aka "guest slippers" might be an option for you! Dollar store flip flops, cheap slides, or actual slippers (but prolly not the fully soft-soled kind, to account for your splinter issue) in a few different sizes or one-size-fits-all for guests to swap into once they're inside. Just keep in mind how you'll wash them between guests (foot fungus and sweaty feet exist, washing is not optional unless they are single-use)- some styles are easier to hand-wash than others if a machine is not an option, but many can be added into regular loads of laundry.
We always had long-haired dogs… and I still do now too… carpets were always furry no matter how much I vacuum … so shoes were just normal. I always tell people it’s ok to wear shoes in my house, don’t have to take them off (I also don’t want to smell your feet!)…. you can see I have a dog and that my blue carpet is black with fur and tracked dog mud 😂 my house is lived in… the dog gets on the couch and bed if SHE wants… and I don’t care. My craftroom is different tho 😂 Clean and organised 🤗
I’m a perso who finds it difficult to keep my workspace clean a lot of the time, so the advice “Make it easy to PUT AWAY not GET TO” is actually like alightbulb moment- thanks lizard!
"I don't want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up." ^^^This right here is the golden line I will be carrying with me as I continue my 3 year venture of attempting to organize my craft space. Thank you so much for sharing your space and how you've adapted it to fit your work style and flow!
As a neuro spicy person who struggles with keeping a clean place; this was so enlightening. The way you talked about finding happiness in functionality… I should reorganized my kitchen
My whole sharehouse is audhd, and we have our kitchen organised thusly: we keep things close to where we use them, including having a couple of specific spaces that are regularly used for one type of task, and having duplicates of things in multiple locations so we don't have to walk away to find something and get distracted! 🍳This means all the pots and stirring utensils and heat mats are near the stove. 🥕The compost bin is next to where we chop veggies. ☕We have extra teaspoons next to where we make tea (as well as mugs, kettle, sugar, teabags) as well as the ones in the cutlery drawer. 🍚We have a water dispenser next to the rice cooker, a measuring cup, and we keep a box of rice there too (refilled from a giant bag kept elsewhere). We also have every cupboard washi-tape labelled with a general category, and then some have more detailed contents descriptions on the inside of the door on sticky notes (so when the doors are closed it's not too visually cluttered)
The woman who wrote The Art of Manipulating Fabric donated all of her samples to my university. I’ve held, felt, and played with many of them! Glad she gets love from others as well
They way you animatedly but realistically talk about crafting kinda kicked me out of a "no physical art only digital art" phase ive been stuck in for... what feels like years at this point, its very motivating how you talk about crafting while taking yourself into account and how being creative also comes with difficulties that people dont think about often
Designing a space that doesn't rely on you always being your best self feels profoundly ground breaking but also like it should be glaringly obvious! Brb gonna redesign my house/life with that in mind
I really appreciate the depth! So many organizational videos just say "find the system that works for you," and I like that you included how you figured out that system for yourself and what that means practically.
Awesome tour! I love how your place is organized, but in a realistic way. That one tip about Mari Kondo about "how things should be easy to put away" is something I'll keep in mind as I continue working on my work space ✨
I have a tip for getting your large cutting table dream without needing large cutting table space! My "craft room" also doubles as a guest bedroom (as it is only used for actually guests about 2-3x a year). Having a full-size bed in your craft room takes up a lot of space, so I bought a plywood board that is roughly the size of the bed and then bought a large quilter cutting mat to go on top (I got one that is not self-healing as its cheaper and is honestly holding up well with a cutting wheel.) BOOM! Large cutting table for 95% of the time, and headboard the last 5%. It cost me probably about $150 (not including the bed) and I (and my 30 yr old back/knees) am super pleased! Obviously, the bed isnt used daily like I assume your bed is but depending on your set up I think you could make it work for larger projects that you just need the cutting space and immediately put it away and still use the iron board for all the small stuff.
Foot Problems, floor troll cutting, collection of shiny things in jars, many little organizing boxes, and organized paper things. All Extremely relatable content. I love seeing things like this so I can really rethink my own crafting space and needs!! (like bins, for the shelves i have, holy smokes.) I loved this video!
this was amazing. I didn't realise I needed people overexplaining their spaces to me in my life as much as I apparently do. So thanks for this video! Also, "I don't want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up." is a great piece of wisdom that I will try to keep in mind as I move into a new space soon.
i love that every part of your space carries so much history and memory. you've got me pumped to kickstart a day of crafting (and inevitable mess cleaning)!!
This is SO INSPIRING! My craft space is... a little rough. It's not BAD, it's been worse, but the message about making it easy to clean up is exposing so many issues that it's always had, but that I didn't understand!!
i came for the aesthetically pleasing organization and stayed for deep dark lizard secrets. incredible video and incredible use of brain cells both creating the space and showing it off to the world. thanks for sharing!
This helped me understand organizing that would help me *so* much. Like… multiple times my mind was blown. Your Lizard Wisdom moments? It lit up so many lightbulbs for me. I cannot tell you how genuinely grateful I am that you took the hours to film this and then the months to edit this in order to share it with us!
This is possibly the most organized and beautiful sewing rooms I have ever seen I can only aspire to make my own even a a fraction of how nice yours is! Mine looks like it endured every natural disaster at once 😂
Oh my gosh your workspace gives me SO MANY happy brain zoomies, just looking at the wall of rainbow fabrics delights me. Manifesting an art space that looks that good and works as well for me in the near future. I'd definitely love to see your process of setting everything up, for sure!
This came at just the right time! I moved out for the first time this year and have been focusing on learning to be a real human in the real world, but that has meant a lot of chaos in my space because it’s just not been my priority! But for the next year I finally have the funds and energy to. Buy a closet perhaps and actually turn my apartment into one that functions! I’ve been crafting so much more and the storage methods I have are just Not cutting it anymore!
I don’t think I could put into words how much I appreciate this video. As someone who’s been contemplating moving to New York, I have been dreading how to cosplay in an apartment when I have been privileged to have so much room to craft in the past. Also, thank you so much for really going in depth about the way you store things. The comic book cardboard is literally in genius, and I definitely will be stealing that! Just thank you thank you thank you! Your videos are a ray of sunshine ❤
I love how compassionate are to yourself. As an ADHD chaos demon of many crafts myself, you've given me some really good ideas on how to better approach the spaces I simply cannot brain right now. Thank you for your unerring honesty, it's been a fun education.
As someone who needs more organization (and less clutter/junk) in his life, I applaud your efforts and skills to create a space of your own. I am planning to install a shed in my parents' backyard that will be multifunction - wood working shop, office, exercise room, VR/gaming room, and general crafting (including sewing) room. It'll be a bit bigger than your place is, but for all I plan to put into it, I'll still need to be organized and tidy about what I put, where.
My mom always said that “everything has a home”, so when i was younger and even now its so easy to put stuff back where it goes once i decide thats its home😊 this video reminded me of that. I cant say I haven’t lost things but it really just goes back to me not taking it home😅.
It's your home. If you wanna wear shoes you can wear shoes especially if it aids in your health/comfort. Your fabric shelf is probably my favorite 😊 the rainbow organization is everything 😭💛
The algorithm blessed me with this video and honestly I love how thoughtful you were about this space. I quit cosplay years and years ago, but I’ve been thinking about pursuing a career in tailoring and am absolutely subscribing.
This was so entertaining and also inspiring to watch. I'm a knitter who for the first time has an entire room I can dedicate to storing and organizing my stash (along with some other things) and I've been so stuck trying to figure out what works for my needs that it's led to piles of stuff all around the rest of my apartment. Personally I'd love to see the footage of the cosplay kon-marie method you created for yourself. Love your content, and am eagerly looking forward to what comes next!
This is literally how I organize my space, it is so nice to share the same giddiness and excitement about organizing (but in the cool making things totally accessible for yourself way) that someone else has! I get so excited to go the thrift store when I have run out of all of my items that help me organize and collect them until future me has space or a need for them. I just moved and now I have a space all to myself that I can do all of my silly little projects in and that is so exciting, thank you for this video.
I've just moved flats and reorganising everything has been one of the most delightful things about it - and I've found i've got a bunch of empty storage containers now i've got more space! Watching this was super cosy :D
This video was so insanely validating for all my organizational impulses, and now I simply must go through my own crafting spaces and optimize them!! You gave me MANY ideas
The shoes part for in the house I totally, and I mean TOTALLY get, especially when you have to stand for longer, I actually have a pair of slippers and a pair of sneakers (in the winter) so I can stand comfortable cause I have high arch issues too. I also just love watching this, you have such a wonderful lil space for yourself!
28:00 “I don’t want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up” is something I need to internalize, thank you so much for that line it’s gonna stick with me
Watching this video without distractions was my reward for meeting my daily sewing goal AND IT WAS SOOO ✨WORTH IT✨ (currently handsewing down 12 yards of lace and some fur, but broken up over 2 weeks to not get overwhelmed) Cant wait for more content in general but definitely for the Lavender town witch!
Seen this video before just wanted to jump back in and say the storing fabrics on bolts is such a good idea. I used to work in a fabric store & we got a bunch of assorted fabrics with wooden boards (like MDF) for bolts instead of the usual cardboard & when they were empty my manager let me take them & I cut them in thirds to fit into a chest of draws I have and that’s how I’m organising my fabrics & it’s actually so good. So thank you for the idea and shoutout to my old manager for letting me have them so it was all free on my end.
I moved out a couple of months ago into a single-room apartament and knew that I had to make the space incredibly efficient to fit everything i like doing and ended up squaring off a corneer with two shelving units as my workspace (and by workspace i mean crafting + computer, my job doesn't require a desk) and ive been inkling to explain to people how I love how optimised this space is ever since but nobody wanted to listen to me blabbering about my drawer unit and shelved trashcan. This video made me feel seen and understood on a deeper level. Sometimes organised space just hits different, especially when you finally learn how to make your space fit you and your habits and not the other way around
Your craft room is gorgeous!!it’s so nice how you’ve clearly made it yours. All the little items with nostalgia turned functional is so heartwarming. (I was absolutely dying laughing about the six *visible* packages of Orbit in the drawer. Just the implication of possibly *more* packages of Orbit was too much for me. Three cheers for buying bulk! 💜)
If I had just one project going, I'd totally have a drawer - I borrowed someone else's idea though (I can't remember who) and keep my projects in large ziplock bags, since they're clear and movable
I’m a former cosplayer turned potter/painter and stumbled back across your content after not seeing it for a few years. I was looking for studio inspiration for my work space in our new house, and I can’t explain how helpful this was!! Even though I’ve gotten away from sewing and cosplay, this video still helps to apply itself to my pottery studio. I can’t wait to see more content like this if you choose to share more 🥰
Lizard Wisdom: 1. Display the things the energize you 2. Leave room to grow into your space 3. Make things easy to put away 4. Avoid stacking things 5. Buying "storage solutions" solves nothing Thanks for sharing!! This is so lovely and transparent ❤️
1. I love this video! It's so satisfying and inspiring! I'm at work while I watch this but I just wanna clean and organize my crafts now. 2. Yes on house shoes! I've got bad knees and it makes such a difference if I wear supportive shoes even while I craft or clean my house.
"I still don't have the numbers for sponsors" GIRL! Have you looked at your numbers!? You are doing amazing and I know so many CCs that have sponsorships at below 100k followers (I know it is also about the views...) but I am sure you can mak eit work! Your stuff is SO family friendly, honestly. There have to be so many sponsors willing to appear on your channel. Also I LIVE for you acknowledging us floor gremlins. I have a big table where I COULD cut...but I just don't. I worked in my parents house bedroom for SO long (no space) that is just became an integral part of my being to be on the floor wheile cutting XDDDD I am NOT ALONE! Love your aestetic. Love your vibe. So chill. So relatable. So cute x3 !
I stumbled upon this video by accident, truthfully, and while I have a close friend in the cosplay community, it's not something I see myself ever taking part in (sewing is NOT my thing, despite many attempts!). However, I feel so inspired by how carefully & intentionally you've constructed your space. I'm in other areas of the maker community, and organizing my craft space has been a (expensive) series of trial & error and trying to keep up with what is aesthetically pleasing or seems to work for everyone else, without thinking about what will work for me. (I didn't even think "anti-storage cubes" was a take one could have but I feel freed in admitting I agree!!) I feel like you just told me the seven secrets of the world for free. I have no idea if you'll read this comment, but truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to film and share this space with us and a bit of your thinking process💜
It’s so nice to see someone who has such a plethora of crafts set up an organized space that is small! My studio is 9-10 and you gave me a ton of ideas to help things get stored more effectively.
Honestly, spending so much time trying to organise the room makes so much sense, though! Spending time in a room, let alone working there and spending most of the day there, if it doesn't make you happy can get you down real bad over time. Go chase that serotonin! ✨ If I ever get to have a room like that for myself that's also so inspiring to actually do the work
Your space is just incredible, so many top notch organizational details! Thank you so much for taking the time to make and edit this beautiful video of your space. So many of your comments rang true for me, I hope to make some time to make my space work better for me, with you as my inspiration!
This video inspired my partner to go through their tools storage cube. They're telling me all about what they've got in there, which includes exactoblades and thread and patterns and a hot glue gun and much more. This box has been very, very intimidating for them to approach, but your video made them excited to dig into it and sort whats there. A very big thank you from both of us!
I honestly love your system, and I dream to organize mine for specifically art. I swear, just give me a shelf and some organizing tools then I'll be unstoppable! Also, I would love to see the video of how you developed your organization system.
As someone who has spent no less than 20 minutes explaining the pros and cons of the three different reusable water bottles I have and doing an in depth comparison to each one totally unprompted at my friends before, I felt this tour deeply. I'm currently overhauling my bedroom since I've had to come to terms with living at home for a lot longer than I anticipated (thanks panini) so I love watching videos like this because they have great ideas. The vertical space usage is really inspiring (I super need tall boy shelves), and I just realized how much I need a storage ottoman. And don't ever let anyone tell you that shopping for months for an extremely precise storage solution isn't worth the time. I too had spent so long looking at drawer organizers to make sure I'd get something that was exact to my needs. I loved this video.
I 100% spent the entire run time of this video stitching about 1/4 of the hem of an apron dress by hand. Love listening to people talk about sewing/craft stuff while I sew and yes if I was willing to have visible stitches on the hem it would have been done 5 times over by now
Ah, how lovely it is to see that I'm not the only one who loves going into sytems and optimizations for the pure joy of process and the continuous joy that reaults give! I have intentionally moved to a smaller apartment so I could have space restrictions and explore multi-functional space use. Visual neatness means a lot to me. When I come home or even wake up in the morning, I want to have a freah start. If I come into a mess, my energy gets sapped. The main room of my apartment is the living room that has chill sofa area, and all my crafts each in their box/container in the allocated placement. So I do yarn crafts, sewing, a bit of soldering and woodwork, but this room is also my gym every morning. And if you walk into it on non-crafting time, all you see is a neat and bright living room. Every craft box and tool drawer have particular system to them. And same goes for every single otherwise regular storage spaces (dresser, bathroom, etc). I'm really glad that the YT algorithm decided this could be a video for me. Never seen anyone else over-explaining their systems (except for myself to my less-enthusiastic friends 😅), but I'm here for it!!! And also: massive kudos and bonus points for "these people are not my target audience". Everyone's happiness is each their own responsibility. Stay true to yourself and your content! Glad to have discovered your channel ❤
Yes PLEASE to the in process video of you formulating your konmari system! That's exactly the kind of satisfying logic that got me into interior design in the first place!
I love the idea of a work in progress drawer. I use those big reusable grocery bags to toss all my work in progress stuff in when I know I won't be coming back to it immediately! It helps that the bags are cute and I don't mind then hanging around (literally lol)
This pushed me to organize my art supplies a bit more. I have a LOT of supplies and I keep them all in my room, and I REALLY struggle with organizing them, but this made the task feel a little more manageable :)
You’re freaking amazing and this was one hell of an awesome journey to see how you organize your space. Thank you for being so coherent with how you manage your workspace. ❤😇
Love it! Totally agree with the no more than 2 stacks rule. Also hells yes to indoor shoes. When I transitioned to working full time on my sewing stuff I ended up doing physio for a while because my feet were hella mad from me standing all day and then I was told to wear proper supportive footwear in my room so here we are lol.
Thank you so much for sharing. As a neurodivergent person, organizing is my biggest struggle. I often find myself avoiding my space. You gave some really good advice, and it made some things click. Hopefully, I can make a space I want to hang out and work in.
This video came at the right time! I share an office space with my boyfriend, and we never got it set up right. We are moving to a space with a bigger office, and I promised myself to organise and go through everything, to start fresh and get the space right this time. 👏🏻
This is helpful and fun to watch at the same time. I'd really love to hear your organizing method and how you overcame disorganization; I'm still fighting that demon
I love this video so much, when I gained an actual crafting space I made sure every tiny thing had a place but as I type this I sit in a pile of unfinshed costumes and mess! I was about to go on a total organization spree and your video came out at the perfect time! I would love to the process video from a few years ago
It is really nice to see someone enjoy organizing, and I aspire to find it too, but I'll admit I spent four hours yesterday trying to organize(with assistance) a new secretary I bought, and halfway through I was sitting on the floor in tears, sounded be all my crafty things sprawled everywhere... but man, does it look nice today❤
Thank you for sharing this! My craft room is a total mess, and as a result, I end up not getting anything done because I don't want to deal with the mess. This video inspires me to try to clean up my space and get organized!
I 100% take off my outside shoes and put on my inside shoes whenever I get home. Foot support is definitely necessary! Also, I'm in the process of figuring out how I want to organize my own craft room and nowni have so many good ideas! Thank you!!!
One of my greatest buys was a folding table from ikea (with storage drawers on the central module). Folded, it's sitting back to my sofa and my cats use it as a shelf, opened, it's a full lenght table and I love it so much!
i really appreciate how you brought up the lqack of co-workers being a thing when you work from home/yourself like this. sometimes people dont take it into consideration and it can be very crushing!
I'm sooo glad I had talked through SO many aspects of full time content creation before I took the jump! Still an impossible learning curve, but at least I knew what I was getting myself into!
Thanks so much for this. I also started pursuing my dream (costume designer for drag/burlesque!!) just about 2 years ago and honestly it's really tough. I'm so priviledged and fortunate to have a supportive partner so I can do all this. It's nice to know that I'm not a failure just because I haven't "made it" money wise- but fully acknowledge the gift the is to be able to pursue this. Trust all your videos have been my constant companion for this past week, you're a gem!
it must have been a herculean amount of work to get this all done. midway through i paused the video, downoloaded marie kondo audiobook and started tidying up. so thank you. inspiring more than cosplay
This is a pretty great craftroom tour. Im overhauling a 11 x 22.5 livingroom into a cosplay and prop craftroom and im definitly going by the idea that every thing has a home. I want it so easy that my kids can help me clean up, thus they can start learning how to build. This is my 1st time here, but youve got my sub. I started my 1st build in 2009 as well. Keep doing what you're doing!
I have no idea how I even got here, since I rarely watch cosplay videos recently (It's been legit probably a year or two since i've looked up a tutorial because i've fallen into the worst slump in my cosplaying years), but you popped up like a ray of light in the dark today because I've been pondering for the past 3 months, how am I going to clean up my cosplay/crafting room. I have a space roughly the same size as yours, and all I gotta say is thanks for showing me your room. Because now I know i'm going to get so many comic book boards and my space will finally be clean. Also the "Make it easier to clean up" was a lightbulb moment for me. lol.
Honestly just seeing your workspace second hand with your thread and fabrics displayed neatly is serotonin inducing. Like watching you chat to camera about plans/progress while trying (mostly successfully) not to spill tea everywhere makes me want to get to work too. Was not prepared for that fiesta blend jumpscare though jfc 😂
watching this is giving me a lot of motivation and tips for organizing. I'm currently in my last month of a two-year boarding school stay so my room (and especially my wardrobe) is gonna need a lot of fixing and sorting. all this lizard wisdom is gonna be great
all of your content is always so surreal to me as a fellow they/them leigh with a beloved lizard pet... but also as a designer / maker with an obsessively optimized making space i do art / events / miniatures rather than cosplay but i do also sew! i keep that exact ruler attached to one of my metal shelves with a magnet because drawers are zones of death in my system 😅 loved seeing the walkthrough of your space!
Ohhhhh, I love they way you’ve organized!! And as a Canadian, I love your floor hygiene. I too have indoor only shoes for healthy arch support - because outdoor shoes 🤮 but inside, I need certain shoes for what I too am doing, and those shoes will never know the outside of my home.
Wow! I wish I could keep my creative space half as clean. I too quit my job and had the chance to pursue my dream of doing costuming for a living. It's no lie that you do what you can to keep the lights on while doing this business. You have my support! Liked and subscribed!
This has me so inspired to organize my craft room! I’m sick at the moment so I don’t have the energy to actually move things, but this gave me some great ideas and motivation to start the planning phase. Thank you for sharing the way you organize as well as your reasoning behind everything! Also I am SO excited you are going to be doing a Churles cosplay!!! I adore ooblets it’s the absolute best comfort game
I'm sick and needed this cause I can't be in my craft room right now, this is such a good overshare into your workspace and I am obsessed. I need to see more of how people organise their craft rooms now cause it's so interesting and you get such great ideas and thoughts ❤ my little adhd heart is happy!
Could have watched another hour of this. It was really kind off satisfying to see everything so nicely organised. At the moment i am crafting in a room that is just half way mine and I Just have a desk in a corner, one big box and a drawer. But next year i get a room for myself and I am still collecting ideas of what to do and how to create a nice crafting room and this video really inspired me to not "just organize" and keep things tight and clean but also to make it a comfy zone where i really like to go. Thanks for that ❤
tbh i never thought about the stacking situation and now i’m not gonna stack more than 2 things cuz that seems like it would help me a lot with keeping things organized also i luv tiny compartments they make me v happy btw the thread stands r the best thing i’ve seen i luv them sm✨👌
Thank you for sharing your thought process and a peek into how you created a storage organization that works for you. Seeing ideas like yours have pointed me in a direction to bring order to the chaos in my sewing room.
I've honestly been waiting for you to post this. I recently discovered your channel through TH-cam shorts and the FIRST thing my eyes went to was your set up so I've been so curious. I will be taking tips for when I eventually have my own work space that's not a part of my bedroom
This couldn't have come at a better time for me, as I'm setting up my own craft/sewing room now that I have space for it. And the make-your-own-bolts for trim has made my little collector brain make excited noises. I'm suddenly super keen to reuse old boxes and spend some quality time with shallow drawers. Thank you Lizard!!
absolutely loved this video! as an artist, i've found that the thing that has stopped me from pursuing any projects is my abysmal organization + random shit i have piled up, collecting dust. this organizational system is both the dream and super daunting! but i know for a fact that i would not be having a years long art block were it not for me constantly forgetting where my art supplies are, and the amount of effort it takes to clean up after a project - adhd brain going kaput after all that exertion and overwhelm
As a neurodivergent creator my cosplay room is a mess 24/7 and I’ve been desperate to find a way to keep it neat in a way that meshes well with how my brain works. Since I will forget what I have if I don’t see it I actually took the closet doors off that I keep most of my storage and keep as much as I can in clear storage bins or on shelves in the open 🤪 only took buying the same thing one too many times when I already had 4 others for me to finally give up on cute bins or putting things “away”. Love the way you’ve organized everything and will definitely take some inspiration while reorganizing!!
I’m asian who was raised that shoes of ANY kind indoors was a cardinal sin. Now I have a fancy pair of high-arch support memory foam slippers(or flipflops I guess), so your indoor sneakers are 100% valid. Also, your sewing/creating room is organized so satisfyingly. I wish my little creative corner was half as organized and satisfying to look at 😂
you get it!!!!!! I actually wasn't raised team no shoes but now that I've been living in nyc all my adult life, I can't understand how I ever did that :') and thank you for watching!!
My mom was super strict about no shoes in the house, which was honestly nice. Now in my own house we have ancient wood floors that have large gaps and produce massive splinters, so walking around barefoot is sketchy. I want to stick with house shoes only, but not sure what to do when guests are over 😅 For now we just don't say anything and let guests wear their regular shoes 🥲
@@Sleipnirseight Guest house shoes aka "guest slippers" might be an option for you! Dollar store flip flops, cheap slides, or actual slippers (but prolly not the fully soft-soled kind, to account for your splinter issue) in a few different sizes or one-size-fits-all for guests to swap into once they're inside. Just keep in mind how you'll wash them between guests (foot fungus and sweaty feet exist, washing is not optional unless they are single-use)- some styles are easier to hand-wash than others if a machine is not an option, but many can be added into regular loads of laundry.
I also never thought, "maybe I should wear shoes" 🤦♀so smart and makes so much sense. Not me adding sneakers to my wish list now. lol
We always had long-haired dogs… and I still do now too… carpets were always furry no matter how much I vacuum … so shoes were just normal. I always tell people it’s ok to wear shoes in my house, don’t have to take them off (I also don’t want to smell your feet!)…. you can see I have a dog and that my blue carpet is black with fur and tracked dog mud 😂 my house is lived in… the dog gets on the couch and bed if SHE wants… and I don’t care. My craftroom is different tho 😂 Clean and organised 🤗
I’m a perso who finds it difficult to keep my workspace clean a lot of the time, so the advice “Make it easy to PUT AWAY not GET TO” is actually like alightbulb moment- thanks lizard!
"I don't want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up."
^^^This right here is the golden line I will be carrying with me as I continue my 3 year venture of attempting to organize my craft space. Thank you so much for sharing your space and how you've adapted it to fit your work style and flow!
bro the way i GASPED when they said that 😭🥺🙏💕 fr though!!!
so iconic :')))
As a neuro spicy person who struggles with keeping a clean place; this was so enlightening. The way you talked about finding happiness in functionality… I should reorganized my kitchen
My whole sharehouse is audhd, and we have our kitchen organised thusly: we keep things close to where we use them, including having a couple of specific spaces that are regularly used for one type of task, and having duplicates of things in multiple locations so we don't have to walk away to find something and get distracted!
🍳This means all the pots and stirring utensils and heat mats are near the stove.
🥕The compost bin is next to where we chop veggies.
☕We have extra teaspoons next to where we make tea (as well as mugs, kettle, sugar, teabags) as well as the ones in the cutlery drawer.
🍚We have a water dispenser next to the rice cooker, a measuring cup, and we keep a box of rice there too (refilled from a giant bag kept elsewhere).
We also have every cupboard washi-tape labelled with a general category, and then some have more detailed contents descriptions on the inside of the door on sticky notes (so when the doors are closed it's not too visually cluttered)
Love Neurospicy! I'm doing my kitchen as well
The woman who wrote The Art of Manipulating Fabric donated all of her samples to my university. I’ve held, felt, and played with many of them! Glad she gets love from others as well
that's so COOL
They way you animatedly but realistically talk about crafting kinda kicked me out of a "no physical art only digital art" phase ive been stuck in for... what feels like years at this point, its very motivating how you talk about crafting while taking yourself into account and how being creative also comes with difficulties that people dont think about often
Talent, charisma, hair - undefeated on all levels
mister heavy yawns always leading the pack!!! someone get this guy a raise!!
This was really useful just to see what kinds of tools and materials a seasoned cosplayer keeps around
very true!! there's a lot of stuff I keep on hand but also a lot of stuff I just get when I need it, or got rid of over the years
Designing a space that doesn't rely on you always being your best self feels profoundly ground breaking but also like it should be glaringly obvious! Brb gonna redesign my house/life with that in mind
I really appreciate the depth! So many organizational videos just say "find the system that works for you," and I like that you included how you figured out that system for yourself and what that means practically.
Awesome tour! I love how your place is organized, but in a realistic way. That one tip about Mari Kondo about "how things should be easy to put away" is something I'll keep in mind as I continue working on my work space ✨
Absolutely!! It took a lot of work but keeping things realistically sustainable was the name of the game 💜
I have a tip for getting your large cutting table dream without needing large cutting table space! My "craft room" also doubles as a guest bedroom (as it is only used for actually guests about 2-3x a year). Having a full-size bed in your craft room takes up a lot of space, so I bought a plywood board that is roughly the size of the bed and then bought a large quilter cutting mat to go on top (I got one that is not self-healing as its cheaper and is honestly holding up well with a cutting wheel.) BOOM! Large cutting table for 95% of the time, and headboard the last 5%. It cost me probably about $150 (not including the bed) and I (and my 30 yr old back/knees) am super pleased! Obviously, the bed isnt used daily like I assume your bed is but depending on your set up I think you could make it work for larger projects that you just need the cutting space and immediately put it away and still use the iron board for all the small stuff.
Foot Problems, floor troll cutting, collection of shiny things in jars, many little organizing boxes, and organized paper things. All Extremely relatable content. I love seeing things like this so I can really rethink my own crafting space and needs!! (like bins, for the shelves i have, holy smokes.) I loved this video!
this was amazing. I didn't realise I needed people overexplaining their spaces to me in my life as much as I apparently do. So thanks for this video!
Also, "I don't want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up." is a great piece of wisdom that I will try to keep in mind as I move into a new space soon.
i love that every part of your space carries so much history and memory. you've got me pumped to kickstart a day of crafting (and inevitable mess cleaning)!!
that's such a lovely way of putting it!! i love being surrounded by all the things I've done, you know? it's just neat!
This is SO INSPIRING! My craft space is... a little rough. It's not BAD, it's been worse, but the message about making it easy to clean up is exposing so many issues that it's always had, but that I didn't understand!!
i came for the aesthetically pleasing organization and stayed for deep dark lizard secrets. incredible video and incredible use of brain cells both creating the space and showing it off to the world. thanks for sharing!
I was so very lovely to see your crafting space. The part with space to make clean-up easier spoke to my little ADHD heart. Thank you 💜
This helped me understand organizing that would help me *so* much. Like… multiple times my mind was blown. Your Lizard Wisdom moments? It lit up so many lightbulbs for me. I cannot tell you how genuinely grateful I am that you took the hours to film this and then the months to edit this in order to share it with us!
Really appreciate how in-depth this tour is. You made organizing look like a total blast!✨
it REALLY was! and thanks for watching!!
This is possibly the most organized and beautiful sewing rooms I have ever seen I can only aspire to make my own even a a fraction of how nice yours is! Mine looks like it endured every natural disaster at once 😂
Oh my gosh your workspace gives me SO MANY happy brain zoomies, just looking at the wall of rainbow fabrics delights me. Manifesting an art space that looks that good and works as well for me in the near future. I'd definitely love to see your process of setting everything up, for sure!
This came at just the right time! I moved out for the first time this year and have been focusing on learning to be a real human in the real world, but that has meant a lot of chaos in my space because it’s just not been my priority! But for the next year I finally have the funds and energy to. Buy a closet perhaps and actually turn my apartment into one that functions! I’ve been crafting so much more and the storage methods I have are just Not cutting it anymore!
I don’t think I could put into words how much I appreciate this video. As someone who’s been contemplating moving to New York, I have been dreading how to cosplay in an apartment when I have been privileged to have so much room to craft in the past. Also, thank you so much for really going in depth about the way you store things. The comic book cardboard is literally in genius, and I definitely will be stealing that! Just thank you thank you thank you! Your videos are a ray of sunshine ❤
I love how compassionate are to yourself. As an ADHD chaos demon of many crafts myself, you've given me some really good ideas on how to better approach the spaces I simply cannot brain right now. Thank you for your unerring honesty, it's been a fun education.
As someone who needs more organization (and less clutter/junk) in his life, I applaud your efforts and skills to create a space of your own. I am planning to install a shed in my parents' backyard that will be multifunction - wood working shop, office, exercise room, VR/gaming room, and general crafting (including sewing) room. It'll be a bit bigger than your place is, but for all I plan to put into it, I'll still need to be organized and tidy about what I put, where.
My mom always said that “everything has a home”, so when i was younger and even now its so easy to put stuff back where it goes once i decide thats its home😊 this video reminded me of that. I cant say I haven’t lost things but it really just goes back to me not taking it home😅.
It's your home. If you wanna wear shoes you can wear shoes especially if it aids in your health/comfort. Your fabric shelf is probably my favorite 😊 the rainbow organization is everything 😭💛
The algorithm blessed me with this video and honestly I love how thoughtful you were about this space. I quit cosplay years and years ago, but I’ve been thinking about pursuing a career in tailoring and am absolutely subscribing.
This was so entertaining and also inspiring to watch. I'm a knitter who for the first time has an entire room I can dedicate to storing and organizing my stash (along with some other things) and I've been so stuck trying to figure out what works for my needs that it's led to piles of stuff all around the rest of my apartment. Personally I'd love to see the footage of the cosplay kon-marie method you created for yourself. Love your content, and am eagerly looking forward to what comes next!
This is literally how I organize my space, it is so nice to share the same giddiness and excitement about organizing (but in the cool making things totally accessible for yourself way) that someone else has! I get so excited to go the thrift store when I have run out of all of my items that help me organize and collect them until future me has space or a need for them. I just moved and now I have a space all to myself that I can do all of my silly little projects in and that is so exciting, thank you for this video.
I've just moved flats and reorganising everything has been one of the most delightful things about it - and I've found i've got a bunch of empty storage containers now i've got more space! Watching this was super cosy :D
This video was so insanely validating for all my organizational impulses, and now I simply must go through my own crafting spaces and optimize them!! You gave me MANY ideas
The Fabric Goblins would LOVE to see the original footage you have of putting together that beautiful storage corner. SO PRETTY 😍
The shoes part for in the house I totally, and I mean TOTALLY get, especially when you have to stand for longer, I actually have a pair of slippers and a pair of sneakers (in the winter) so I can stand comfortable cause I have high arch issues too.
I also just love watching this, you have such a wonderful lil space for yourself!
28:00 “I don’t want to rely on me being the best version of myself to be able to clean it up” is something I need to internalize, thank you so much for that line it’s gonna stick with me
Watching this video without distractions was my reward for meeting my daily sewing goal AND IT WAS SOOO ✨WORTH IT✨ (currently handsewing down 12 yards of lace and some fur, but broken up over 2 weeks to not get overwhelmed)
Cant wait for more content in general but definitely for the Lavender town witch!
oh my gosh that is soooo much handsewing, congrats on making it happen!!
@@HeyLizardLeigh thanks! It def feels neverending 😂 but I'm happy with it so far!
Seen this video before just wanted to jump back in and say the storing fabrics on bolts is such a good idea. I used to work in a fabric store & we got a bunch of assorted fabrics with wooden boards (like MDF) for bolts instead of the usual cardboard & when they were empty my manager let me take them & I cut them in thirds to fit into a chest of draws I have and that’s how I’m organising my fabrics & it’s actually so good. So thank you for the idea and shoutout to my old manager for letting me have them so it was all free on my end.
I moved out a couple of months ago into a single-room apartament and knew that I had to make the space incredibly efficient to fit everything i like doing and ended up squaring off a corneer with two shelving units as my workspace (and by workspace i mean crafting + computer, my job doesn't require a desk) and ive been inkling to explain to people how I love how optimised this space is ever since but nobody wanted to listen to me blabbering about my drawer unit and shelved trashcan. This video made me feel seen and understood on a deeper level. Sometimes organised space just hits different, especially when you finally learn how to make your space fit you and your habits and not the other way around
Just film it and post it to TH-cam I'm sure it will help people with similar struggles
Your craft room is gorgeous!!it’s so nice how you’ve clearly made it yours. All the little items with nostalgia turned functional is so heartwarming.
(I was absolutely dying laughing about the six *visible* packages of Orbit in the drawer. Just the implication of possibly *more* packages of Orbit was too much for me. Three cheers for buying bulk! 💜)
HAHAHA I usually buy..... twelve packs. they're just so much cheaper than buying single packs ;;
I love the idea of a drawer for work in progress stuff! That is such a clever way to keep from cluttering other horizontal spaces.
If I had just one project going, I'd totally have a drawer - I borrowed someone else's idea though (I can't remember who) and keep my projects in large ziplock bags, since they're clear and movable
I use cube bins or baskets for each project bits. As I need the ‘out’ to keep out so I don’t abandon them or start another new project
Watching to steal all these ideas for my sewing room lol
I’m a former cosplayer turned potter/painter and stumbled back across your content after not seeing it for a few years. I was looking for studio inspiration for my work space in our new house, and I can’t explain how helpful this was!! Even though I’ve gotten away from sewing and cosplay, this video still helps to apply itself to my pottery studio. I can’t wait to see more content like this if you choose to share more 🥰
Lizard Wisdom:
1. Display the things the energize you
2. Leave room to grow into your space
3. Make things easy to put away
4. Avoid stacking things
5. Buying "storage solutions" solves nothing
Thanks for sharing!! This is so lovely and transparent ❤️
Graphical artist here. You just gave so many ideas to optimize my working space, I can't thank you enough.
1. I love this video! It's so satisfying and inspiring! I'm at work while I watch this but I just wanna clean and organize my crafts now.
2. Yes on house shoes! I've got bad knees and it makes such a difference if I wear supportive shoes even while I craft or clean my house.
"I still don't have the numbers for sponsors" GIRL! Have you looked at your numbers!? You are doing amazing and I know so many CCs that have sponsorships at below 100k followers (I know it is also about the views...) but I am sure you can mak eit work! Your stuff is SO family friendly, honestly. There have to be so many sponsors willing to appear on your channel.
Also I LIVE for you acknowledging us floor gremlins. I have a big table where I COULD cut...but I just don't. I worked in my parents house bedroom for SO long (no space) that is just became an integral part of my being to be on the floor wheile cutting XDDDD I am NOT ALONE!
Love your aestetic. Love your vibe. So chill. So relatable. So cute x3 !
I stumbled upon this video by accident, truthfully, and while I have a close friend in the cosplay community, it's not something I see myself ever taking part in (sewing is NOT my thing, despite many attempts!). However, I feel so inspired by how carefully & intentionally you've constructed your space. I'm in other areas of the maker community, and organizing my craft space has been a (expensive) series of trial & error and trying to keep up with what is aesthetically pleasing or seems to work for everyone else, without thinking about what will work for me. (I didn't even think "anti-storage cubes" was a take one could have but I feel freed in admitting I agree!!) I feel like you just told me the seven secrets of the world for free. I have no idea if you'll read this comment, but truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to film and share this space with us and a bit of your thinking process💜
I LOVE how detailed this video is!! I’d love ur version on Konmari!
It’s so nice to see someone who has such a plethora of crafts set up an organized space that is small! My studio is 9-10 and you gave me a ton of ideas to help things get stored more effectively.
Honestly, spending so much time trying to organise the room makes so much sense, though! Spending time in a room, let alone working there and spending most of the day there, if it doesn't make you happy can get you down real bad over time. Go chase that serotonin! ✨
If I ever get to have a room like that for myself that's also so inspiring to actually do the work
Your space is just incredible, so many top notch organizational details! Thank you so much for taking the time to make and edit this beautiful video of your space. So many of your comments rang true for me, I hope to make some time to make my space work better for me, with you as my inspiration!
This video inspired my partner to go through their tools storage cube. They're telling me all about what they've got in there, which includes exactoblades and thread and patterns and a hot glue gun and much more.
This box has been very, very intimidating for them to approach, but your video made them excited to dig into it and sort whats there.
A very big thank you from both of us!
I honestly love your system, and I dream to organize mine for specifically art. I swear, just give me a shelf and some organizing tools then I'll be unstoppable!
Also, I would love to see the video of how you developed your organization system.
As someone who has spent no less than 20 minutes explaining the pros and cons of the three different reusable water bottles I have and doing an in depth comparison to each one totally unprompted at my friends before, I felt this tour deeply. I'm currently overhauling my bedroom since I've had to come to terms with living at home for a lot longer than I anticipated (thanks panini) so I love watching videos like this because they have great ideas. The vertical space usage is really inspiring (I super need tall boy shelves), and I just realized how much I need a storage ottoman. And don't ever let anyone tell you that shopping for months for an extremely precise storage solution isn't worth the time. I too had spent so long looking at drawer organizers to make sure I'd get something that was exact to my needs. I loved this video.
I 100% spent the entire run time of this video stitching about 1/4 of the hem of an apron dress by hand. Love listening to people talk about sewing/craft stuff while I sew and yes if I was willing to have visible stitches on the hem it would have been done 5 times over by now
Ah, how lovely it is to see that I'm not the only one who loves going into sytems and optimizations for the pure joy of process and the continuous joy that reaults give!
I have intentionally moved to a smaller apartment so I could have space restrictions and explore multi-functional space use.
Visual neatness means a lot to me. When I come home or even wake up in the morning, I want to have a freah start. If I come into a mess, my energy gets sapped.
The main room of my apartment is the living room that has chill sofa area, and all my crafts each in their box/container in the allocated placement. So I do yarn crafts, sewing, a bit of soldering and woodwork, but this room is also my gym every morning.
And if you walk into it on non-crafting time, all you see is a neat and bright living room.
Every craft box and tool drawer have particular system to them. And same goes for every single otherwise regular storage spaces (dresser, bathroom, etc).
I'm really glad that the YT algorithm decided this could be a video for me. Never seen anyone else over-explaining their systems (except for myself to my less-enthusiastic friends 😅), but I'm here for it!!!
And also: massive kudos and bonus points for "these people are not my target audience".
Everyone's happiness is each their own responsibility.
Stay true to yourself and your content! Glad to have discovered your channel ❤
Yes PLEASE to the in process video of you formulating your konmari system! That's exactly the kind of satisfying logic that got me into interior design in the first place!
I love the idea of a work in progress drawer. I use those big reusable grocery bags to toss all my work in progress stuff in when I know I won't be coming back to it immediately! It helps that the bags are cute and I don't mind then hanging around (literally lol)
This pushed me to organize my art supplies a bit more. I have a LOT of supplies and I keep them all in my room, and I REALLY struggle with organizing them, but this made the task feel a little more manageable :)
You’re freaking amazing and this was one hell of an awesome journey to see how you organize your space. Thank you for being so coherent with how you manage your workspace. ❤😇
Sewing? Deep dive into organization, especially related to a special interest? Absolutely yes, please and thank you!
Love it! Totally agree with the no more than 2 stacks rule. Also hells yes to indoor shoes. When I transitioned to working full time on my sewing stuff I ended up doing physio for a while because my feet were hella mad from me standing all day and then I was told to wear proper supportive footwear in my room so here we are lol.
Everything lined up so meticulously is so satisfying to look at.
Thank you so much for sharing. As a neurodivergent person, organizing is my biggest struggle. I often find myself avoiding my space. You gave some really good advice, and it made some things click. Hopefully, I can make a space I want to hang out and work in.
27:39 thank you, this has been a struggle for me when organizing and this is a new way of hearing this and it is so amazing!!!
The absolute joy I experienced when I realized how long this video is.
This video came at the right time! I share an office space with my boyfriend, and we never got it set up right. We are moving to a space with a bigger office, and I promised myself to organise and go through everything, to start fresh and get the space right this time. 👏🏻
This is helpful and fun to watch at the same time. I'd really love to hear your organizing method and how you overcame disorganization; I'm still fighting that demon
I love this video so much, when I gained an actual crafting space I made sure every tiny thing had a place but as I type this I sit in a pile of unfinshed costumes and mess! I was about to go on a total organization spree and your video came out at the perfect time! I would love to the process video from a few years ago
It is really nice to see someone enjoy organizing, and I aspire to find it too, but I'll admit I spent four hours yesterday trying to organize(with assistance) a new secretary I bought, and halfway through I was sitting on the floor in tears, sounded be all my crafty things sprawled everywhere... but man, does it look nice today❤
Really, really loved how in-depth and organized this video is. Watching it gave me sooo much serotonin, it was amazing!
Thank you for sharing this! My craft room is a total mess, and as a result, I end up not getting anything done because I don't want to deal with the mess. This video inspires me to try to clean up my space and get organized!
I 100% take off my outside shoes and put on my inside shoes whenever I get home. Foot support is definitely necessary!
Also, I'm in the process of figuring out how I want to organize my own craft room and nowni have so many good ideas! Thank you!!!
One of my greatest buys was a folding table from ikea (with storage drawers on the central module). Folded, it's sitting back to my sofa and my cats use it as a shelf, opened, it's a full lenght table and I love it so much!
i really appreciate how you brought up the lqack of co-workers being a thing when you work from home/yourself like this. sometimes people dont take it into consideration and it can be very crushing!
I'm sooo glad I had talked through SO many aspects of full time content creation before I took the jump! Still an impossible learning curve, but at least I knew what I was getting myself into!
Thanks so much for this. I also started pursuing my dream (costume designer for drag/burlesque!!) just about 2 years ago and honestly it's really tough. I'm so priviledged and fortunate to have a supportive partner so I can do all this. It's nice to know that I'm not a failure just because I haven't "made it" money wise- but fully acknowledge the gift the is to be able to pursue this. Trust all your videos have been my constant companion for this past week, you're a gem!
it must have been a herculean amount of work to get this all done. midway through i paused the video, downoloaded marie kondo audiobook and started tidying up. so thank you. inspiring more than cosplay
This is a pretty great craftroom tour. Im overhauling a 11 x 22.5 livingroom into a cosplay and prop craftroom and im definitly going by the idea that every thing has a home. I want it so easy that my kids can help me clean up, thus they can start learning how to build. This is my 1st time here, but youve got my sub. I started my 1st build in 2009 as well. Keep doing what you're doing!
This is the most organized craft room I've EVER seen! Congrats on getting it to where its at! Also, I appreciate that you are also a floor troll.
I have no idea how I even got here, since I rarely watch cosplay videos recently (It's been legit probably a year or two since i've looked up a tutorial because i've fallen into the worst slump in my cosplaying years), but you popped up like a ray of light in the dark today because I've been pondering for the past 3 months, how am I going to clean up my cosplay/crafting room. I have a space roughly the same size as yours, and all I gotta say is thanks for showing me your room. Because now I know i'm going to get so many comic book boards and my space will finally be clean. Also the "Make it easier to clean up" was a lightbulb moment for me. lol.
Honestly just seeing your workspace second hand with your thread and fabrics displayed neatly is serotonin inducing. Like watching you chat to camera about plans/progress while trying (mostly successfully) not to spill tea everywhere makes me want to get to work too.
Was not prepared for that fiesta blend jumpscare though jfc 😂
watching this is giving me a lot of motivation and tips for organizing. I'm currently in my last month of a two-year boarding school stay so my room (and especially my wardrobe) is gonna need a lot of fixing and sorting. all this lizard wisdom is gonna be great
i literally re-organized my crafting stuff while watching this, i loved this thank you
I think i have watched this like 5 times, i adore it. The explanations the comfort the colours. This is ny comfort video that actually makes me tidy
all of your content is always so surreal to me as a fellow they/them leigh with a beloved lizard pet... but also as a designer / maker with an obsessively optimized making space
i do art / events / miniatures rather than cosplay but i do also sew! i keep that exact ruler attached to one of my metal shelves with a magnet because drawers are zones of death in my system 😅
loved seeing the walkthrough of your space!
Ohhhhh, I love they way you’ve organized!! And as a Canadian, I love your floor hygiene. I too have indoor only shoes for healthy arch support - because outdoor shoes 🤮 but inside, I need certain shoes for what I too am doing, and those shoes will never know the outside of my home.
Wow! I wish I could keep my creative space half as clean. I too quit my job and had the chance to pursue my dream of doing costuming for a living. It's no lie that you do what you can to keep the lights on while doing this business. You have my support! Liked and subscribed!
This has me so inspired to organize my craft room! I’m sick at the moment so I don’t have the energy to actually move things, but this gave me some great ideas and motivation to start the planning phase. Thank you for sharing the way you organize as well as your reasoning behind everything! Also I am SO excited you are going to be doing a Churles cosplay!!! I adore ooblets it’s the absolute best comfort game
I'm sick and needed this cause I can't be in my craft room right now, this is such a good overshare into your workspace and I am obsessed. I need to see more of how people organise their craft rooms now cause it's so interesting and you get such great ideas and thoughts ❤ my little adhd heart is happy!
I LOVE seeing how other cosplayers organize! I'm definitely going to adopt the fabric bolt storage! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Could have watched another hour of this. It was really kind off satisfying to see everything so nicely organised. At the moment i am crafting in a room that is just half way mine and I Just have a desk in a corner, one big box and a drawer. But next year i get a room for myself and I am still collecting ideas of what to do and how to create a nice crafting room and this video really inspired me to not "just organize" and keep things tight and clean but also to make it a comfy zone where i really like to go. Thanks for that ❤
Having your stuff both organized and visible is goals.
tbh i never thought about the stacking situation and now i’m not gonna stack more than 2 things cuz that seems like it would help me a lot with keeping things organized also i luv tiny compartments they make me v happy btw the thread stands r the best thing i’ve seen i luv them sm✨👌
Thank you for sharing your thought process and a peek into how you created a storage organization that works for you. Seeing ideas like yours have pointed me in a direction to bring order to the chaos in my sewing room.
I've honestly been waiting for you to post this. I recently discovered your channel through TH-cam shorts and the FIRST thing my eyes went to was your set up so I've been so curious. I will be taking tips for when I eventually have my own work space that's not a part of my bedroom
This couldn't have come at a better time for me, as I'm setting up my own craft/sewing room now that I have space for it. And the make-your-own-bolts for trim has made my little collector brain make excited noises. I'm suddenly super keen to reuse old boxes and spend some quality time with shallow drawers. Thank you Lizard!!
absolutely loved this video! as an artist, i've found that the thing that has stopped me from pursuing any projects is my abysmal organization + random shit i have piled up, collecting dust.
this organizational system is both the dream and super daunting! but i know for a fact that i would not be having a years long art block were it not for me constantly forgetting where my art supplies are, and the amount of effort it takes to clean up after a project - adhd brain going kaput after all that exertion and overwhelm
also, this might come across as weird but i genuinely mean it, i adore the way you talk :)
i’m not really into cosplay, but this truly made me appreciate them more, not only that but this room is so satisfying to my pea brain!!
As a neurodivergent creator my cosplay room is a mess 24/7 and I’ve been desperate to find a way to keep it neat in a way that meshes well with how my brain works. Since I will forget what I have if I don’t see it I actually took the closet doors off that I keep most of my storage and keep as much as I can in clear storage bins or on shelves in the open 🤪 only took buying the same thing one too many times when I already had 4 others for me to finally give up on cute bins or putting things “away”. Love the way you’ve organized everything and will definitely take some inspiration while reorganizing!!
