Thief!

Craft Supply Thief Caught in the Act!!

There is a thief in my house. He is small and has brown hair with white accents. He weighs approximately 6 pounds. His favorite hang outs are on the counter next to the fish tank, the arm of the couch and the window sill.

If you come across one of his kind, hide all of your craft supplies! Last night I managed to snap a picture of the thief in the act. When my back was turned he snatched one of my cover button supplies and was off. He was later found in the kitchen shoving the button under the refrigerator for safe keeping!

His kind are classic thieves of craft supplies. Watch your stash at all times. Please don't let this happen to you!

Buttons, Buttons and More Buttons

Drowning in Cover Buttons!

I am a very happy girl! My cover buttons finally arrived. The long awaited day has come. After two months of calling and chasing down the supplier, I have finally landed myself a boat-load of buttons! If you don't believe me just stop by. There are so many buttons!

I can now supply all of the wonderful and talented Etsy sellers that use cover buttons! If you need it, I have it! With 100+ listings in my Etsy store I am ready to go.

What will I be doing this weekend? I am going to steal some time to go kayaking on Saturday. Otherwise I plan to count and pre-package buttons all weekend! Fun times!

Come on In! See Where it all Happens!

Welcome to the home & office of Start To Finish Supplies!

Voyeurs are welcome here!

If you are anything like me you are curious to know where your supplies come from, what it looks like on the other end of the internet, what organizational methods others use, ect. It is fun to see how others set up their offices and craft spaces. Well here is mine. It is nothing special but it works!

I live in a one bedroom apartment. Approximately 1/3 of my apartment is dedicated to my business. My sunroom is set up as an office. This is where I type up invoices, print shipping labels, house my files and store items such as shipping labels.

The majority of my time spent on the internet happens when I am on the couch watching TV. The couch doubles as my craft room. Since I live in a small apartment, there is not much space. Therefore, my couch multi-tasks allowing me to use it to lounge, craft and nap! In the living room I have two tall metal shelves. I purchased coordinating blue & tan bins which I use as storage.

Across from the couch is an antique cabinet which I use as my personal craft storage. The crafts in this area are for my personal use and are items that I am not selling. It has been very beneficial for me to maintain two separate storage areas so that I do not sell something that I want to craft with.

My biggest challenge is sharing my work and craft space with my cat! He may be small but he is mighty! I am constantly shooing him away from my crafts! He has taught me to never leave anything sitting out. Since he came to live with me three months ago he has turned me into a more organized person. If he finds that I have left something out of place and unattended he snatches it up and hides it. Sometimes it is weeks before I find the item again!

Well that is the complete tour of the home of Start To Finish Supplies. I hope you enjoyed it!
