My creative space....

today has not been too bad on the productive front.....

I have achieved 2 of the 6 things I wanted to do today making-wise!! (really - lately that's fantastic!)

Here is an all-action shot of the making in progress.....!

I am still completely absorbed with using my vintage fabrics (I love this one which was an old curtain and a truly thrifty find) and doilies, and today I tried out a new design for fabric brooches....and discovered 1)that it is really difficult to take a picture of yourself sewing!! and 2) that I really need to use some of the gorgeous hand cream on my dressing table right now!!!

I am absolutely besotted with the doilies and their different shapes and colours, I've experimented with dyeing a few and left others, like this one, natural. I like to imagine the ladies who crocheted them whilst I sew too, who had no idea what they would end up being used for.....

The little owl twins, who are my latest thrifty find, seem to approve of the finished brooch. (They are looking slightly wary as they know I am still in two minds as to whether to paint them or not. So far they've escaped but every time I get out my little paint tins, they look nervous. Hmmm....)

My creative space....

Today I am joining in with kootoyoo and letting you have a little peek at my creative space.

There is much afoot in my little sewing room....so many plans in my head, many many lists on the wall, and bits of paper with half scribbled sketches ready to become something wonderful when...........

.......

there's time!

I am in a bit of a quandry at the moment - there are some items I have sold out of on my Craft Stall and I really need to make some more - but there are also so many plans for new things in my head that I am sooooo longing to get on with these..... isn't it always the way?

Today I am planning to combine the two just a little.

I am making peg bags - both in my usual design, but also in a design that I have planned for a while.

and while I work, this is the view from my desk...

Er.....hmmm....sorry about that - THIS is the view from my desk..

Cary is actually right in front of me as you can just about see in the photo above. And I'm sure his eyes follow me around the room....well, a girl's got to have a bit of inspiration!! x
