Ever since I moved into my little house, my poor little studio has got the rough end of the stick. Because my craft wares, art materials and knick knacks outweigh any other thing I own (I’m the girl will the full studio and empty fridge) I have naively believed that everything will fit nicely in the studio. Realistically it has become a storage room. A very pretty one at that, but there were times when I thought I was never ever going to make art again, and that was just not going to do. Then the floods came and I was mighty quick to get things packed away and ship shape. Then a few months passed and my things were popped back into any available space. So you’ll understand my excitement at how wonderful it’s looking RIGHT NOW. A trip to ikea, some new storage, a garbage bin full of crap (less than beautiful things) and a couple of suitcases full for rummage…means one pretty flower has emerged. I still have a lot of stuff, but I know where it is and where I can find it. I have two tables, one for painting and messy work and another for paper work and collage. I am also waiting on some retro coffee lace curtains from ebay for 99c, I think they’ll work, we’ll soon see. I dreamt of a room that I wanted to spend time in and I think I’ve achieved that. Finally. I want to make the most of this gorgeous little house before I head off. But that’s for another post. I’ll leave you with some pretty pictures. Happy Sunday all! (ps. I know I said I wouldn’t be back till Tuesday, but I couldn’t wait to show you! Pps. Not sure I’m ‘getting’ this whole scone thing…thank goodness for raspberry jam and cream!)

So tidy and organized. I'm hankering for this kind of tidiness but my personality is getting in the way. That rummage pile looks fantastic- might have to pop along and have a ferret.melx

I really love your space. I am hoping to move to a new apartment soon with a spare room and can't wait to make into a creative space. x
