My creative space - now with more heart

All year I have been enjoying seeing the creative spaces of other crafters, thanks to the meme organised by Kirsty over at Kootoyoo. Knowing that I was not going to be working for the next few weeks, I figured my chance had come - I would have the time during the day to take a photo of my own creative space.

Which is why this photo was taken in the dark.

My creative space (now with more heart)

Kirsty's challenge at the moment is to hide a heart in your photo. But as a person who prefers to state the bleeding obvious ... well, I just couldn't help myself.

I've got a couple of bags for custom orders on the go at the moment. At the back of my table is a pile of quilted and overlocked bits, ready for their turn with the zipper foot.

At the bottom left are the fabrics I bought today when I went for a little jaunt to my not-so-local quilting store. Elephants and bicycles, which I love. No, not on the same fabric, but wouldn't that be fun?

Want to see more creative spaces?

    Your space is so lovely and neat and organised. Do you think you could teach me how to do that?

    The little elephants are very cute, and love the yellowy flower fabric too.

    I'm all for the bleeding obvious - especially as I have been examining everyone's pictures sans reading glasses!

    I have been admiring how neat your creative space is. You look as if you have been very productive!

    Now did you tidy before the photo - or are you always that organised? I'm afraid I could never ever ever take a photo of where I work...

    I see it, I see it! OK, kidding, but a few have stumped me so it was quite nice to have it jump out at me. Yes, it's late.

    Your space looks very productive. Fabrics are beautiful too. Heading over to have a look at your shop now...
