My creative space

So this week the schedule makes an appearance. Working from home, and being prone to procrastination (lots) and anxiety (a little), I need to schedule my day. Shocking, isn't it? But so, so handy. I recommend to everyone. At least this way I know I should be in the shower right now as I have lunch in Woden in less than an hour (oops!) and this afternoon when I get home I'm going to be making needlebooks from wool felt. It's been ages since I made a needlebook - I'll have to pull out my sketchbook to get the measurements for cutting..

Behind the schedule are the hexagons templates I am putting together for kits for Brown Owls this Sunday, and my latest thing of beauty - zips in a very old Agee preserving jar 'vase'.

More creative spaces are over at Kirsty's place.

  7. Oh for an organised day. Sadly my kids don't take too kindly to scheduling...

    Your jar of zippers looks fabulous - decorative and useful. Looking forward to Brown Owls on Sunday.

  11. Scheduling your day makes perfect sense, it helps organise your mind (does with me, anyway!).

    I'm so sad I can't go to Brown Owls. Learning how to do english paper piecing looks like heaps good fun!

  12. What a great space! I too love the Agee jars - our local Sallies has them for between 20c and 50c so my pantry is now full of them holding the baking ingredients and they are also houwing my buttons and ribbons and sewing bits and pieces! x

  14. So much going on, hard to think where to start! I love the preserving jar vibe, I have three on my shelf in the kitchen - two with old boxes inside them and one has broken bits of crockery.

  21. That's beautiful felt - where do you get such beautiful muted colours from? I have a bunch of wool felt, but it's mostly (very) bright.
