My creative space

Today I have two* creative spaces. Thank heavens for big extendable sewing tables.

My creative space #2

I'm quickly making up a box for socks and a sunnyboy to spruik to a shop. A friend mentioned that another friend is looking at selling arty crafty stuff soon. She is taking my stuff up next week to see if it suitable. I suspect it won't be, but it's fun dealing with the other side of selling. The yarn at the back is sitting there waiting for me to be inspired to ... make it up, or sell it.

My creative space #1

Tomorrow morning I am being whisked away to spend a crafty long weekend with four friends at the beach. I've been looking forward to it for months! I even bought new pyjamas. Three days of crafting bliss brought plans on what to take with me. The twisted hexagon quilt was on top of the list - so I've been spending this week tacking the shapes to papers so that I've got a head start on Friday.

I don't work on this quilt for a year, and then I pull out the pretty fabrics and fall in love all over again.

Half hexagons


* Actually, I have three creative spaces. But no one wants to see a yarn-strewn sofa surrounded by dirty tea cups and crochet patterns.

  2. Good luck with the shop possibility. Gorgeous fabrics for the hexagon quilt too! I can't take part in the creative space posting because until we reclaim the baby's room as a study, there is no space that can stay creative, it all has to be packed away on a daily/hourly basis depending on who is home/awake/asleep! One day....

  7. Hi michelle, I love your creative space and the echino fabric. I am having a heap of trouble finding echino panther for my pants. Have you any suggestions? Thanks

  10. Oh, spaces! I aspire to have "A" space some day! Right now I have the sewing machine tucked into a corner of the table; the ironing board covered with cloth and notes and a knitting project; my rocking chair piled with fabrics; bags of knitting strewn about the house. No wonder I feel so scattered all the time.

    Enjoy your crafty weekend!

  11. I am sure we will have a fabulous time. I had to restrain myself on the crafty things to take. So hard to limit myself, but a reality check on the time away, amount of wine likely to be consumed and other activities saw me being very good. That, and three of us have to fit in my car!
