The bookcase is home to all my knitting magazines, pattern and reference books. The folders hold all the free patterns that I have obtained from Ravelry and the web. I also have Peters' granny's old Singer hand sewing machine which still works beautifully and I enjoy using it. The table was re-topped and painted as in a previous post. The button jars (old coffee jars), the cotton thread jars (old pickle jars). I took some old picture frames which I painted then made into pin boards, just using some wadding and fabric, easy. I think they look good and cost practically nothing. In fact, the only things bought was the wood for the table top, shelves for the wardrobe and the corner shelves. I did all the painting and pretty stuff and Peter did all the woodworking and drilling. What a team!
Now for something completely different - thought you might like to see this magnificent dragon fly who visited with us at the weekend
And finally the bath mat which I knitted for Rachel's bathroom. Think I should have gone round a bit more before doing the graduated cast off. Still by the time I had spent three hours sewing on the toweling back I was past caring.
What a wonderful, light-filled craft room! Love the idea of putting spools of thread into decorative jars.
ReplyDeletethanks its a lovely sunny room especially in the mornings
DeleteHow lovely. I took over a corner of the (dry and light filled) basement and couldn't be happier. Unfortunately for my family, I still prefer to sew in the living room.
ReplyDeletebeautiful craft room! it looks like the perfect place to create.
ReplyDeleteAh, such a lovely craft room! I love it so much, such a lucky crafter you are! I also cannot believe you managed to photograph that beautiful dragonfly, he is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely craft room. I hope to have one of my own one day.
ReplyDeleteYour craft room looks great, so organized! You have a lot of yarn!
ReplyDeleteWow the craft room looks amazing. I am very jealous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful craft room. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteWish I could be as tidy as you and restrict my crafting to just one part of the house and not all of it. Your craft room looks superb and I wish you many hours of joy and happiness within it. I too have a wardrobe but it needs shelves, like yours. I love your decorated jars and the pin boards and .....
ReplyDeleteRachel's bath mat is lovely. She should be well pleased with it. The colours go well together.
And your visitor - a beauty to behold, as are the fuchsia flowers.
Oh to be this organized...my favorite part the darling corner shelves. And your hubby- what a gem to help out with this...and he's aware of your stash of yarn?
ReplyDeleteits only organised as its just been finished, just wait till I start pulling stuff about. He is ok with my stash, in fact encourages it, that way I can't moan when he buys stuff for the Harley!! I must have so much yarn yet to buy
DeleteYou guys did a great job! I really like the pin boards you made, and the jars of notions are adorable. How wonderful to see everything at a glance. I hope it inspires many beautiful projects! The dragonfly is Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully organised craft room, well done! The photos of the dragonfly are amazing, too.
