Here it is... the studio... we have been working on it for the last few days. It is a cozy little spot, I love it!
Guss snuck in while I was spinning this afternoon to keep me company. Remember the Roman blind I was busy with a few months ago? Well there it is above the window, I still need to finish another one for the other window, it is twice the size so I guess I am a little daunted but I will set to work on it in a few days:)
Superwash roving that's been separated to spin...
Here is the superwash on the Ashford...
And finally... drum roll... here are The Shelves! I must say, I really LOVE how they look. They were origionally coat racks but we have turned them upside down and repurposed them as shelves. The little blue and white sewing box on the shelf has been my sewing box since I was 8 years old, I have often thought about replacing it, but I am very fond of that little sewing box, so I am sure I will be using it for many years to come. I remember my mom bought it for me at a market one Sunday...
These shelves hold a few of my spinning, sewing and kintting books and a small amount of my fabric stash, but oh how I adore them! (Too much? No... I think I am gushing just the right amount) :)
Under the table you can see Kye's little wooden town and pirate ship, he often joins me in my studio and we have the most wonderful conversations:)
BFL Mohair on the Joy...
A close up of the books on my shelf at the moment...
The winner of the giveaway will be posted on the origional giveaway post later tonight:)
Thanks so much for having a wander through my studio with me...
So very neat and tidy and clean and colorful.

Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and airy. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a gorgeous place to create. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSuch an inviting space. So lovely and light!
ReplyDeleteI want to crawl under that table and play! I'll bet the rhythmic hum of a spinning wheel provides the ultimate background noise for a child's play...what a great 'soundtrack' to grow up with :)
ReplyDeleteYour shelves did turn out beautifully Linda!! So enjoyed having a look around your studio, it looks wonderful!! I love the view you have out of the big window!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt must be so great to have a space where you can create that's just yours! I must say, I absolutely adore your red quilt, it's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. Such an inspiring place. I love your little dog on the chair. So cute. Everything came together so nicely. Love those shelves filled with lovely fabric. May you have many happy creative moments there. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunshine Mama, it's one of my favourites:)

ReplyDeleteI love it too and the dog is there just to keep an eye on proceedings.
ReplyDeleteGreat space, enjoy.
Lovely space! Looks calm and inviting. I also have a project making 2 very large roman blinds - it is a little daunting! Still waiting for the energy to get started ...
ReplyDeleteLovely...it looks like you're going to have lots of fun in there!
ReplyDeleteyour studio is a dream!~
ReplyDeleteWouldn't everyone want to have such a fabulous place to make beautifull things. Youi have all the reason to be a happy woman!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space. I love your books, and no, I don't think you're gushing too much over the shelves. They're lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a light, airy, orderly, inspiring space you've created to work in. It must be such a joy to spend time there, especially with the lovely leafy view you have.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, it's wonderful - love the shelves, the floor, the big timber windows, the fact that it's so clean!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful space - just lovely. The shelves came out beautifully. Thank yo for the peek inside. I would love to have a studio or really even a space. For now there are little bits and pieces everywhere.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Elizabeth
oh you are such a lucky duck! to die for... So natural and light and streamlined. just wonderful. I hope you enjoy many hours of creativity in there
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little studio. How I would love to have a little room dedicated to all my crafting! I LOVE the superwash you're spinning up, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMay I PLEASE come and live with you? Every time I see pictures of your home (and garden and yard) I long for a place just like it. Your studio is so sweet and cozy. Love the quilt and floral pillows on the wicker setee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space to create in, very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWell those are two gushing-worthy shelves! Not to mention the entire studio. The couch, the quilt, the co-imagining with Kye, the roman blind, the supplies, the wood floors, the light. I want to snuggle up on that quilt and read your books :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my - what a lovely place for a lovely woman.
ReplyDeleteNamaste, Nicole
Isn't it wonderful to be able to step into such a place right inside your own house. Your imagination, spinning wheel and material will take you far.
ReplyDeletelooks great linda. enjoy using the space to create magic! xo m.
ReplyDeleteA sewing box is a magical thing. When my mother-in-law died, I was in charge of helping all of the grandchildren choose the one thing of hers that gave them the most distinct memory of her. My young niece, without hesitation, and with great longing, asked for her grandmother's sewing box. And I remember my mother's. And at one of our ornament parties, my dear friend Gaye brought a soft little christmas tree decorated with buttons from her grandmother's box.
ReplyDeleteThe studio is beautiful. And the polar opposite, in terms of peace and order, to mine - lovely.
what a beautiful light filled space!
ReplyDeleteHello! Your studio looks so nice and cosy! I love the selves, table and sofa with the patchwork...I saw those lovely wooden houses! Really ejoyable room to create!
ReplyDeleteWishes from Teje
Sooo beautiful! I looove that there is something there for Kye to Join you. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year Linda. I'm catching up on blog reading after the busy holidays. So inspiring to see your creative space. Ah, and so beautiful with all that green outside! Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a most creative 2011!
ReplyDeleteLuciana
Love your studio space :) How wonderful. Your photos of spinning makes me want to get some fleece! I haven't had a chance to sit and spin in some time and it is such a lovely hobby. So relaxing :)
ReplyDeleteIts lovely Linda!! I can just imagine myself sneaking away to do some craft in there :)
ReplyDeleteI love your studio. What a peaceful place!!
ReplyDeleteSee! You are SO CLEVER! I would have never thought to make shelves from coat racks. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're so happy and gushing with your studio. It is fun to be happy with the results of any projects we do.
I need to learn to spin...... Okay, maybe not NEED... but want. :D
