Where Bloggers Create

2012

I recently made this altered canvas for my sewing/craft room.

I entered it in the local country show and it won first place.

A cut glass compote full of gold shank buttons

Pearl buttons in old avon jars sitting on a silver tray

My best friend brought me this beautiful Killarney Lace from Ireland.

 I thought it too pretty to hide away so I framed it up & it's always on show.

A beautiful shelf trim crocheted by my mother

My friend gave me this doll head, it's too cute to throw out right?

Wrought iron string holder & scissors

it's so heavy could be a paperweight as well as just looking so gorgeous.

A scattered selection of buttons, a vintage buckle, and a fabric panel. 

Trying out colours and embellishments for a new bag.

I love to have The Waltons playing in the background as I sew or create

Some very old buttons, some from as far back as the 1800's.

My most recent creation.

Vintage and antique glass buttons

A beautiful box with a pretty tin

and

a favourite icon of mine, The Eiffel Tower.

A friend brought me this back from Paris last year.

Wrought iron cloche type bird cage vignette

A silky oak day bed for relaxing or even having a quick afternoon kip

Appliqued cushions made by me and the front one by my best friend.

A marvellous way to store fabric collections.

The piano had to stay but that's ok I stacked some interesting things on top.

I store trims in the blue chest of drawers, scrapbooking supplies in the coloured plastic storage drawers and fabric in the white chest of drawers (only some I might add), there are many other plastic tubs on wheels with fabric collections.

Two large work tables

This is a little painted child's play hutch

(that once belonged to my daughter) 

close up with old clocks, dice and tins etc

Some of my buttons and books

I store some of my Spellbinder dies in this old CD holder.

I love the way the individual spines flip forward and back,

it makes them very easy to locate.

A large pincushion made by my best friend

A beautiful new crystal button I bought recently

 and

a crocheted pink heart by my mother

Spool holder painted and decorated by me

Debbie Mumm pin cushion

I'd like to thank Karen Valentine for once again hosting the party

I love my new look, thankyou Karen.
