Where Bloggers Create 2016

My "sewing room"/creating space is upstairs in our old 1940's house.  There are two bedrooms at the top of the stairs and of course, I have chosen the larger of the two for my space.  The picture below shows my space in a rather messy condition as it has been much of the time lately.  I guess that means I must be using it to create things but I am not sure that that is true.  I think it is more like I haven't kept it too tidy lately.

Not the clearest picture but it gives you the general idea.  The chest on the right is still unpainted, it has been a goal for several years now.  I plan to move my room downstairs shortly, we will see if the painting gets done then.

I love my card catalog and I "file" many things in the drawers which are labeled, of course.

I smile when I see this sweet little frame given to me by a sweet friend.  I look at it to be reminded of what I should be doing while in this room.  

As you will notice I like to keep things around me in my room that remind me of swaps I have participated in and friends and family who have given them to me.

I found this pincushion while visiting my sister in California and my buttons are from years of collecting them.  Many were my grandmothers.

This sign was a gift from my sister Becky.  It hangs over my file boxes and basket of patterns.

I do love pincushions.  My sister Lynda made the tomatoes and the purple pincushion is one I bought when we visited Hawaii.  Of course we had to visit the fabric store in the town we visited on Maui. The heart pincushion is from a swap I participated in and I crocheted the flowered pincushion a few years ago.

This is my fabric, much of what you see is fabric to back the many quilts that are waiting to be completed.  I do have just a few fabrics that I will have to think about before deciding how to use them.  The glass front bookcase below these stacks holds a bit more. 

The project on the corner of my work space has been sitting there a while but I can say that it is now a completed project.  I started and completed it yesterday.  I will share it in a blog post soon.

A sweet friend gave me the bird thimbles on top of my grandmothers spice chest.

Fabrics that are part of a couple of projects in progress.

This picture and the following are of some of my favorite things in my room.

This picture and the one below were taken a short while ago when my space was a little bit neater.

I should have posted a warning at the top of this post that I had many pictures to share.  I love having my space to work in but even when it was the kitchen table I have always enjoyed making things, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, crochet and many other crafts.  I hope you enjoyed my little tour and will come back again for a visit.  Visit Where Bloggers Create 2016 at My Desert Cottage to see many more sewing rooms, studios and kitchen tables.
