Baby Woods Fern in Watercolor & Colored Pencil
I enjoyed watching you clean and organize. It looks great! I always say it never takes as long as you think to clean something or clean up a room. Once you get going it just comes together. Have a great weekend .
Thank you Lindsay for the very helpful video.
You are so funny Lindsay! Zombie appoclypse?
Lol, I save eyeglasses too. Zombie apocalypse? Maybe. Now…where did I put them?
Really liked this video - while i didnt clean my room (Deep cleaned it last week and its fine right now - only the actual project things out - yay) I looked for reference pictures for an online course im taking right now. I didnt hear a living soul today (live alone... that can be a bit lonely sometimes) and having a lighthearted video like yours on in the background is really nice for that. On that note: I love your podcast for that too and after your uploaded your the episode with Sarah Burns I listened to all your older episodes and then all the new ones when they come out - will there be more? (I dont watch them here on you tube - but listen on a podcast player on my phone)
They’re pretty, and excellent, but I will be strong and I will not give into temptation 😂 I have enough watercolors to last a lifetime. Other than that, I really enjoyed your review. 😂❤
I love resetting my space and coming back to it clean! I have been finishing up lots of projects lately. Today, I gave myself a break and made a few nice cards. 2 were fun folds! I wish I could get my hands into your craft space!😂
I was gifted a bunch of old patterns. I ended up taking it to good will. Now I wish I had them for mixed media and other cool art ideas. At the time I was not thinking of them like that. I was thinking of sewing ideas. I do t sew so it was just a waste to keep them.
You make me feel normal! I am making journals at the moment! I have stored cereal boxes for covers! I have now cut them down to size! I am also a card maker and also love drawing and painting! My craft can be overwhelmed with all my hobbies! I love it! ❤❤❤
Wonderful!
T hanks for being relatable, with little project areas...
My pleasure!

I moved a year ago and finally have a dedicated craft area that I have been able to keep fairly clean. The thing I want to ask, is my Artist Loft alcohol markers got something on the ends that look like mold. I have tried to rub off, but to no avail. I think I need to just break down and purchase a new set of markers. I don't use often so do not want to spend a lot on them. Do you have any suggestions?
It's actually salt. You can clean it off with rubbing alcohol. It happens when the dye ink separates from the mordant (a substance that makes it bond to a surface, in this case a salt) and it looks gross. This happens when the marker starts to dry out. If you have clear blending fluid or high % alcohol you can add moisture back to the marker.
Hullo Lindsay, I wrote a couple of comments one was even very good, IMHO, but I touch the mouse and Poof! It just goes away! Thanks for sharing your process and I hope you have a lovely day.
I hate it when that happens! Thanks for watching!
For your stained cotton, dye it! You can dye it cheap & easy, you just need food coloring & vinegar, or easier still, Kool-aid or Mio drink flavors. (Flavors for water have acetic acid in them already, so they set the dye permanently.) Cheap watercolors may work too! Soak the yarn by putting it in a jar of water or (water & vinegar) to wet it thoroughly. Let it soak for a few minutes, but remove it from the water to set the dye. (I don't always remove the cardboard core.) Then sprinkle an array of colors on your wet yarn it in scattered patterns. Put the wet, colored, acidic yarn in the microwave for 1-2 min. at a time until it seems to have dried some of the yarns & set your colors. This works amazing on ribbon, silk, wool, nylon, but we've often done crochet cotton, too. Lots of fun colors & stains blend right in.
Great idea!
Thank you for doing this! helps me spear through my own work area! Hugs to you
You are so welcome!
🎉great work. The look.
That's a great fine liner set, I bought several for Christmas gifts.
It really is!
I love cleaning my room of hoard, but I usually need help to do much. Now I can't wait to get to the basement and sort through everything. I love, love having everything organized. I'm a bit OCD, so before I start, I have to get it all in order & know what I have & where it is. If I have a block, I move to some other materials. Or I go clean off my work table, do mending, sort & put away thread & buttons, etc. I just have to touch colors or paper to get going again. Actually, these days, if I am cleaning, it's because of fear of doing something. I have to work at not getting more nervous about not being able to do things well any longer. When you've had an injury or are getting older, dealing with mobility or vision issues, artists block may just be fear-- being afraid to start because we feel we've diminished some (or a LOT).
Good point!
I am laughing like a loon right now. I sketch & paint in bed! Most days I can't have my leg down due to injuries from years & years ago, but I'm not allowed to sit in a LazyBoy either, so the bed it is. I love lazy artists!. My mini-dog even knows the routine! She burrows under the covers when the paint is out, she has to lay still under the covers & wait to move till I say we're done.
P.S. Now that my little rescue dog is house trained, I use puppy piddle pads for absorption under paintings and to catch chalk dust or eraser crumbles.
Great idea!
Great tutorial thank you . I have used oil pastels only a couple of times and they are great . Can I ask ,are they archival ? I have bought two boxes artist quality Sennelier and Mungyo . 💐💐
Yes, as long as you use acid free paper and mat and frame them under glass or store them in archival conditions. Beware of neons, pinks and purples as those may fade.
Love this! Greetz from The Netherlands ❤
Wish I could get my mess straightened that quickly, but that’s not happening. I’ve been taking on little projects to get my mess straight, but I’m grateful for any progress no matter how small at this point.
Do what you can and celebrate the wins.
Whaf a wondervul idea. No time to paint these days. But I started a card for my niece in June when her father went for bypass surgery. Its been a long road and weve3 been visiting almost daily to encourage his hea.ing. I e got so much vintage patterns and sewing notionx, ( long time seamstress here) and im thinki n g o f painting a version with my own pattern from the 70's and including my pristine Gingef sheers as well. ...you know...one day awhen I find time.
That sounds gorgeous!
Watching you inspired me to do some picking up and organizing 😊
I'm so glad!
Art Tetris! Yeah, that is soooo me! LOL
😆 🤣 😂
Thank you for sharing the cleaning! I do better cleaning before I start crafting, spark the creativity!
You are so welcome!
this looks amazing, i definitely want to pick these up ☺☺
Thanks 😊
I just finished cleaning my hobbyroom. My plants needed some love, I put them all in the bath and wiped down alot of surfaces I hadn't cleaned in a long while. Pottering around with my plants always makes me rethink how I organise my supplies. Today I attached a lamp the the windowsill instead of the desk and voila, more space. It's so inspiring when everything is organised and clean and my plants and yelling at me that they're almost dead 🙃😂 I was wondering if you'd forget the strips of paper you picked up and put down again, but you got to them in the end. Still love the room of hoard and seeing you in your beloved space. 🥰 Hope you're having a great summer.
Thanks, I am!
Watching you tidy up really brings home the idea of having a place for everything -- you know where things belong. It's interesting that having a place for everything is also freeing up your brainspace to allow for seeing where an item might better serve you. What you've accomplished here is something I've struggled with my whole life. I'm getting their, though -- I do have enough storage now for the things I've kept after paring down (had to do that in stages -- took forever, but I am at peace with the letting go). I now need to sort through it and organize into categories. I just wrote that down as a first step: "Figure out a solid set of categories." Yay me. I enjoyed the video -- got me wanting to dive back in. :)
Awesome job!
🥰🇬🇧
A fun idea! I love sewing but haven’t been able to sew cause of an issue with eye strain. I do paint a bit. I’d never thought of this type of fusion project❤
You can do it!
The problem I come into while cleaning is it restarts my organizing frenzy. Then the wheels fall off. I think it’s what prevents me from really making much anymore. The mess, the organization, the busting and overflowing plethora of stuff. Many days I miss my small table and single tote of stickers. 🤷♀️
You can get back there. Maybe take a tote and put your essentials or favorites in there so you can grab that when you want to create and pick away at the rest at other times. Good luck:)
As I just declutteted, I'm now working on reorganizing in zones. I got a few good ideas watching you clean up . I found I need to be able to see what I have to use it, because I found so much I didn't remember I had. Thanks for the idea of leaving something on the hill. That makes so much sense.
You got this!
Lindsey thank you for the inspiration and motivation. This went very fast. You are more organized than you think. 😂... what type of box/container did you use for your beads and finding? My jewellery organization is hit and miss right now. Tyfs❤😊
amzn.to/4ctYMpQ this is similar, there sre other options too. I don't know the brand as it was 2nd hand.
Thank you for this video! 😊 today has been a slow start, and I needed a body double, even if it's virtual.
You're so welcome!
Super fun video! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Wow!! Your room of hoard absolutely amazes me!!
Thank you so much!
I didn't think I'd have time for the whole video, but I got my hummingbird food made and did up some neglected dishes while my phone was perched on the window over my sink, and I still had time to sit and watch a few minutes at the end. Whoo hoo! Some jobs done! It was fun to see you declutter and I think my issue is just putting things away or finding a home where I'll remember where they are. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you had a nice 4th, too.
You did stuff! That was the intent, to get people moving.
Thank you for this. I've gotten the urge to be artsy fartsy in my late 40s and wanted something so fill some excess space in my mancave in progress. I loved playing with pastels in school but used them like regular crayons. Expecting a tabletop easel and 72 pack of oil pastels from Amazon today!
Wonderful! Enjoy!
I'm curious, does the tray fit in the old slimer tin?
It does!
Lindsay, loving your video today! I had lunch with you and swatched some new art supplies and loved seeing your art space and all the supplies you keep so well organized. Thanks for another lovely video and I am looking so forward to the next installment!! Yay for art and keeping our art space clean, neat and organized! It makes for such an easier task when we are ready to tackle the next big art project. We can start with a smile when our space is so neat and ready for whatever our heart desires to create! You are such a joy to watch!
I appreciate that, thanks!
i loved that box of new brushes,i am always trying to make my tiny apt not look like an art store.i am grateful for my art abbudance,
If you like it why not let it look like an art store. I know you use your stuff so enjoy it:)
I've already watched this video 2.5 times! Love it! 'The Room of Hoard' videos are some of my favorites! I believe I speak for all of the diehard 'Lindsay the Frugal Crafter' fans when I say we'd love to see an updated 2024 'Room of Hoard' and studio tour. We all love you and what you do for us here on RUclips and the numerous other platforms you work on... Thank you so much for sharing. Much much love ❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Loved watching this. My art cart rolls into the,kitchen, which is my painting area. I use my late husbands office for storage, drying area, etc. always great to see how others have their set up! Ps I didn’t clean up, just watched LOL
That's a great idea!
I don't know if to love you or be mad. I like to put on your non tutorial videos before going to bed as I love learning. Instead I ended up cleaning up my art suplies and it is now 3 hours later (2:30am) my big draws of all my profecinal products are all organised colour coded and media sectioned. I also organised all my canvases and art desk. Everything has a place and will now stay tidy hopfuly. I'm going to get much needed sleep and thank you I'm so exited to create tomorrow thanks to you. ❤
Love that! Sweet dreams!
Me: I should be cleaning too 😅😅😅 Also me: buuuuuuut🤣 Seriously though I hurt my back last weekend and bending and reaching right now is SO painful 😣 I’m hoping it’s nothing too serious 💪
Oh no, let yourself heal. I have yard icy hot cream when I've hurt my back before. Motion is lotion. Gentle movement (not lifting) will often help.
@@thefrugalcrafter yes thanks. I’ve been putting Vicks kinda the same. But slow movement is all I’m able to do😣 Entertained yesterday too but this weekend will be turtle slow. Hopefully I’ll be better by Monday. Hope you had a great fourth 💕
Lindsey how did you know what we all need? My desk hasnt been totally cleared off since I last added a layer of paint to it! 😂 (Its a cheap desk and I use a lot of UV resin, I just sand and paint it once a year or so to cover the mess)
You got this!
It actually DOES inspire me!
Yay!
This is so much fun, what a fantastic video ☺☺
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've restarted this multiple times as I always get inspired too. Thanks, eventually, I'll actually watch the entire video. ❤
Awesome!
