I've got it together and assembled some pics of the room I work in! I've been doing more sewing than painting this week, but I'll soon share some painting action. Welcome to my space!
Bit of Kelly Rae up on the wall to remind me, among other things, to Do The Thing You Didn't Think You Could.
That owl that keeps me company while I'm working during the wee hours? He left me a little present out under the peach tree last week, just as I was setting out to tidy this room up.
Some Joel Dewberry fabric in the peek through space between my dropcloth table cover. It had to be made of something I didn't care if I splattered paint all over, because that's exactly what's going to happen when I get back to work this weekend! I just sewed a velcro strip to the top of the fabric hem and put the sticky kind along the table's edge.
I painted some hideous shelves headed for Goodwill and made them new. I love how shiny they are-the dry time on high gloss was worth it.
That's a piece of crown moulding B tacked to a wall for me to set my paints on and keep them off of my work surface. I painted it green with some old house paint mixed together. :)
My favorite accessory. Sewing for friends and the kids balances my painting and gives me lots of different ways to play around wih color and texture. This more affordable model Bernina was a gift from my parents a couple of years ago and it has climbed the list of my top 25 things I wouldn't leave behind in a fire. I love this machine! And she's also a very self-starting and forgiving friend. Did I tell you it's called a Sewing Computer and not a sewing machine? Fancy.
Um...do you get that I love green yet? I'd paint the walls green if I could make sense of it.
Miles has his own little table and chair next to my desk, complete with jar o' lollipops!
Patient elf learned to roll over and prop up on her hands when we were away on vacation to Escondido. The wristlets I so love are beginning to form.
The hardest thing about bringing you in here is that I'm the type of hostess who gets too caught up in the little details (read: dusting the baseboards) that visitors could care less about. The result is that it takes me forever to get my space just so! So I've promised myself to take some snaps when it's in action so you can get a feel for how it functions rather than how it looks when it's clean. Which. is. never.
More to come in a couple of days-have a lovely weekend!
