My Creative Space

Up until very recently, I had been doing all of my sewing in our dining room, in a room with no windows, one recently-added skylight, no storage space and a tiiiiny 1930s table that used to belong to my grandmother.  It was the major thoroughfare of our home and consequently there was much in the way of Lets Annoy Mummy and Getting Pins Stuck in Bare Feet.

Thanks to subtle hints badgering snarly comments from Monkey Boy, we swapped our spaces.  He moved all his Man Cave stuff out of our study and formed a nice little barricaded den for himself in our dining room, and I get the fully renovated, window onto the garden, huge space, walls lined with bookcases, more tables, more storage and with-a-door Good Room!

So while I deal with getting some chest infection thing thanks to taking Prednisolone for too long, and try to muster up the strength enthusiasm giving a rats arse about my contribution to the 12 Month Craft The World Challenge (which I TOTES will share with you soon), here are some piccies of my new Studio.

I've had this Singer since 1982, 1st Year High School.

Setting up for the photo shoot

Floodlights from Bunnings.  Yes, that is a giant inflatable Boxing Po you can see on the floor.

AWESOME therapy tool.

Master Patterns

Vintage button goodness

And my creative work for the day is this Photoshopped image of my craft supplies and tin, all of which I have had since childhood. 

What is your creative space like?  If you feel like sharing where you work and what you're working on you can play along with Kirsty every Thursday at Kootooyoo's My Creative Space.
