studio tour

Hey there friends!  I know we've toured my wee art.sewing.crafting space before... but I've recently re-organised and thought some fresh peeks would be fun.
Here's one of my 'nook' shelves with sewing books, my pottered birds, and a stuffed beaver stitched by a friend. 

In the foreground you can see Tinderpuff nestled on our bed... dark brown fabric stretched over a wooden frame makes for a headboard/room divider to my art studio (in the back third of our bedroom).

I perched all my vintage owls above my sewing desk... and hanging on the wall beside is a great quote from Jackson Creek Press.

My main fabric.thread sewing stash - all crammed into a bookshelf beside my sewing station.

I said it before - and I'll say it again - those large plastic salad containers from the grocery store make great storage for fabric!  You can see a quick view of various palettes in each bin without an avalanche of fabric everywhere.  You're welcome.

And here's my newest addition (last may) I got gifted one of those Martha Stewart organising box.shelf.things.  Only in the past week did I finally sort through and make each cubby hole a specific zone for my various crafts.projects.... I also decorated the top 'mantle' with various family photos. inspirations. pottery. etc.  Loving it!

I don't know about you, but it sure feels good to organise.
Turning chaos into calm.
Overwhelming into order.
I've been doing this all around our house lately... gosh, I must be in serious 'nesting' mode.

Do you get the urge to 'clean sweep' at the start of a new year?
Thanks for stopping by for the tour,
Mel ;o)
