Most of the surfaces in my living space are my work basket. I have a tendancy to spread across all the flat surfaces and then every 2 or 3 weeks, put almost everything away aside from the current project. Then the cycle of spreading out begins again. The bench, coffee table and desks see many projects come and leave completed. Luckily my partner doesnt mind and doesnt want/need to use all these spaces. And I have subconsiously designed my space to have many surfaces for me to use, almost cant start a new project without a space for it to live in plain sight for its duration. I did have an actual basket at one stage, but the allure of a table to spread everything out on is more than I can resist and the basket remains empty. Funny how I have never realised all this until reading your thoughts on your work basket.
Haha, lots of people in the house does tend to curtail the spread. I did have to make do with a project bag next to my bed when there was more people living here.
This is a lovely post and a reminder of when we were all in lock down and everyone had time to stop and be together. Sad and worrying as those times were I quite miss them because we were as one.
It’s so good to have baskets, boxes and drawers of useful things - many of them passed down through the generations. All workhorses of their time and place.
Hi Fiona, I have a few ‘work bags’ as my hands like to be busy. The idea of one work basket to gather them together is a great idea - I shall see what we have in our garage that I could use

yes absolutely. xx
I have a small leather case that goes away with me, stocked with whatever project I’m working on at the time.
Now winter’s approaching however I’ll be stocking a basket for by my sofa. Funny how seasons dictate creativity 🍂
Oh I have a vintage case for my van. Xx
Whoops! So thank you! 🫣🙂 x
