What is the newest thing in your craft space, large or small, it doesn't matter!
I am replacing a 4' folding table that sits behind my desk. It has diagonal brackets that prevent me from storing anything below it. I ordered another standing desk from IKEA to replace it. The legs are straight and I can fit IRIS case drawer units below it. It won't come for about 10 days, but I am really excited about it.

I'm excited for you!
I haven't made any major changes to my space in a while. I think the newest non-consumable item is my Gemini Mini that I got for iNSD

We moved our growing DDs into the larger "playroom/scrapbook room" so I had to move into their room. DH has been WFH in our bedroom since March 2020, so I offered for him to move into the "new" room with me... it's making crafting a bit harder for me because I feel like I'm trying to work around him, even though he hasn't made me feel that way and there's plenty of space. I hope my groove comes back soon.
Otherwise, no new real craft purchases, although Paige's Halloween line is really tempting me. >.<

Nothing new for me. But I did rearrange some stuff in my room which is always interesting to craft after that! haha.
I ended up of moving some things back. It was just too hard for my muscle memory. Rather than have like items on opposite shelves now I have all inks together, all coloring mediums together (markers, watercolors, paints and such), all paper is together (12x12, 6x6, and 8.5x11), all sequins, ribbon and doo-dads, etc.
I just need to figure out what to do with the paper scraps. Which I think is the age old problem. I know there are a ton of ideas out there (I've tried them all!), but they just don't seem to work with my set up. Right now they are willy-nilly in an 8.5x11 letter try on my desk.

A window. I moved my space across the room and now have some natural light.
Seriously though, 50 world flag stickers. I could not find anything at the usual online scrapbook stores so I ordered them from Amazon.
We did a yearly subscription to a snack box and tried stuff from 12 countries. I'm also eventually going to make a page about The Olympics and luckily a French flag was included in the package. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the leftovers, maybe I need to do more world traveling...

When I first started crafting, I imagined a space that had those huge rug holders (like at Home Depot) that have swinging arms and hold about 50 rugs. I thought it would be really cool to have some sort of peg board or magnet that would hold items. Kind of like a wall sized scrap rack. That obviously isn't going to happen, but I tried to reimagine something for my many dies. I have 10 tall mirrors (very light) that hold my dies by theme. I wanted something to hold my most used/favorite dies. I ended up making a board that is 2' x 7' with magnet on the front. It sits on one wall of my room. Love it.

My latest purchase was another 10 pack of the 13 x 13 envelopes that I use for product storage. I get them at Hobby Lobby.

An Iris 5 drawer rolling cart that fits just under my desk. Easy to reach into for all my adhesives, pop dots and some of my stamp sets .

Not much for me. A new maple leaf die and a burlap embossing folder, both from a Honey Bee sale, and some stamps and dies I'm borrowing from a Pea.
I've brought some new things into my space in the past few months (from the stamp/die round robin I hosted) and my storage got a bit too full, no longer easily flip-through-able, so I'm working on removing some things to make space.

I've bought some tape and other things to make shaker cards. I'm kinda new to cardmaking and thought I'd try to see how much I suck at it, lol

Seeing that my craft space is wherever I want it to be, I will say that the newest addition is the Coonara wood heater that DSO bought second hand, and set up under our pergola. I means that I can now sit outside even now in winter, and scrap on the outdoor couch. Does that count?

The only change I've made to my space is replacing the curtain.

My latest purchase was another 10 pack of the 13 x 13 envelopes that I use for product storage. I get them at Hobby Lobby. Do you use those in a binder, or cut the binder part off? I'm asking because I use envelopes to store my paper, but they only come in a 3 pack, it would be more convenient to go to Hobby Lobby and buy a 10 pack than to order them 3 at a time, but I don't use binders.

They don't go in a binder. There are no binder holes punched in the plastic envelopes. I have them in plastic bins (also purchased at Hobby Lobby).

Aside from new Shimelle and other consumables?- like I got photo paper in the mail yesterday! Since we moved in June I added to my new room: - a 3x4 kallax unit to fit beside my 4x4 kallax and fill an entire wall - and my new prized organizer: a "literature organizer" I got on auction (returned/lost items) for $11. What a deal - this is similar to it on Amazon It's large, 3 columns wide x 9 compartments each column. Each compartment is 9"x12", and 2.5 inches high. I've got all my 8.5x11 papers in it, all my dies sorted into long skinny trays, all my inks likewise on long skinny trays. It is brilliant especially for $11!!!

I ordered a backless stool that will scoot under my computer desk to help me have a little more walking space in my room. Right now I am decluttering and trying to organize supplies so that is where my $$ and time is going.
