I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with all the supplies needed for four tiny masks! Each doll's mask is being made to compliment their gown, so that meant four different boxes of fabrics, each needing to be gone through, just for one tiny 1 x 3" snippet of fabric. At least those are all put away now.
But there's piles of boxes for all the tiny trims - two tiny white roses out of the "Tiny Fabric Flowers' box; a few coloured leaves out of the "Fabric Leaves" box; the felt box for mask linings; the whole silk ribbon drawer; the pearl beads bag; the sequins packages bag; all kinds of scissors, wires, glue, brushes, dolls in their costumes to match the trims to.......and that's just what's on the table and chairs. The counters have the containers with glitter paints, and my glue gun with extension cord draped across the ground. So much stuff, just for four tiny masks!
Good luck even spotting them in all that mess!

And that's not including the other two dolls who are getting masks, and after I finish the detail work on Kassia's white mask, then I have to go look for beads to match Soa's Mother Nature gown, and haul up two boxes of fancy yarns in order to find the ones I used on her dress, and take a couple of tiny snippets of each.
Sometimes I wish I had a dedicated studio! Although with Jan retired, I now have a 'gopher' whose willing to run up and down the stairs hauling boxes of supplies. Which is a great thing!
