Recently I moved and I am continuing my series of posts about setting up my new studio. Here are the previous posts:

Journey to My New Studio, Part 1 ,  Journey to My New Studio, Part 2 , and Journey to My New Studio, Part 3 (plus the pesky Beastie Guest Blogger post Guest Blogger: The “Beastie Tower” is a Disaster!)

One of the big things I had to deal with was to get all the boxes of craft books I had in boxes into some type of storage/holder/wrangler (ha!) at my new home.

First before we moved I did a lot of purging and then while unpacking at the new house I did a lot of purging.

Then John built me two bookcases from plumbing pipe and scrap wood – one for my books and one for my magazines.

It took me several days but I got them all organized!

The books are organized by publisher instead of topic this time (it was the mood I was in as I liked how publishers, like Stash Books and C&T Publishing have books of similar sizes. The magazines are just organized by magazine title and I did purge many while packing. Only kept the ones I really love (which unfortunately are a lot, ha!)

Next to each bookcase I have thrifted cushions that I used to have in the living room of my previous house, for sitting on while looking through books 🙂

Postscript

Oh recently I tried to return to Instagram and it was a disaster and I gave up.

I first reinstated my account, made a post, and tried to refollow anyone whose Instagram name I could remember that I followed before.

The next day I received notification from Instagram that they had closed my account for violation of their policy. It appears they did not believe I was a real human.

I followed the appeal process and uploaded a live video of me. That was not enough, they wanted a copy of my scanned passport or Drivers License.

I decided that the Universe was telling me not to return to Instagram, ha, so I just gave up!
