At the end of my last post I asked for help with blog topics for the rest of NaBloPoMo and Erin_in_Boston suggested ".... or a photo story about where you do your work?", so I'm going with this today.
My craft room was the first to get sorted when we moved in and other than the table and pegboards, nothing's changed in there. My sewing happens in my craft room which happens to be the conservatory at the back of our house. It's flooded with gorgeous, natural light and though the temperature in there can fluctuate wildly, it's a lovely space to make things in.
To kick things off is my sewing table with a view of our south-facing garden. Please note (one of two) pepper plants that I've managed to keep alive for 7 whole months!
At the opposite end is "the storage area". Here I house my craft books and many, many other bits and pieces.
I don't own a lot of books (craft or otherwise) yet I've never been able to keep them all together until this craft room.
And now I've got a shelf for my sewing books
and knitting books
as well as my glass head, jugs of needles and hooks, a jar of embroidery thread and pattern folders among other crafty things.
So there you have it, my make space as it was earlier today.
Love it! Our second room is full of un packed boxes. We keep saying that we'll turn it into a craft room/office but we have yet to do so.
ReplyDeleteVery neat and tidy!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo very envious of your space and your light!!! The organization and clear spaces would do me well when trying to create with yarn or fabric.
ReplyDeleteYou be a very lucky lady in crafting!!
I spent 4 hours sorting through my stash and getting organized. Yes. 4 hours!! I had way more than I realized and stuff I forgot I bought. I will be blogging about the results later this week, but thank you for the inspiration to get started. I owe you some yarn... lol
Your space is so cool!!! I really like the board on the wall with the holes in it, I so need something like that for my craft space!
ReplyDeletexo,
wink
Cool, I love seeing other people's crafting spaces :) I have one of those glass heads too (although I think it is at my mum's house for some reason!)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealoussss! That looks like an amazing craft space. So organised, and all that beautiful light!
ReplyDeleteYour room looks fab, and a very calming place to work. I love the old fashioned typewriter too!
