I have been look at some of the wonder work room that people have - bright, airy, organised and inspiring spaces. Like Heather Bailey or Yvestown or Blossom Hill Cottons. How creative could you be in a room like that?
The best corner of my workroom that I can show you is this. My Grandparents old suitcases that I use for storage. They have stood the test of time and are still sturdy and a little lived in. Unlike the suitcases I bought last year which already have broken zips and gouges out of the sides, but that's another story.
My space is actually in a large, bright room, but it doubles as a guest room, library and general dumping area. The floor is covered in bags and boxes, stuff is piled everywhere, all the shelves are over flowing. There is hardly any floor space for cutting out let alone table space. The machine perches on a little gate leg table and I perch on an old office chair. What is it about the arrival of Spring and sunshine that makes you want to sort out, tidy, clean, refresh, redo and renew? It will be a big project I think as I'd like to paint the walls a more restful shade, move the open shelving to the other end of the room and hang muslin curtains in front, rearrange all the furniture and sort out proper storage for my stash.Humm perhaps I should aim to have it done by Christmas!?
The room reflects my mind I think, cluttered, tired and in need of an overhaul!
