Does anyone else occasionally feel like they are spending more time organizing their craft room than actually doing any creative work in there? I swear that is the stage I have been in for months.

doll bedding, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. I bought this little balsa wood doll bed the other day and then decided that it needed a mattress and bedding. I sewed the mattress and pillow with yellow ticking and stuffed them with poly fill. I used an old Holly Hobby sheet to make a fitted [...]
