A few Trinkets

Today I went to the Spitalfields market to see if I could find a few fun vessels to hold some of my sewing supplies. I'd really like something narrow and tall with lots of cubbies, like a letterpress box (like this one) to hold bobbins and whatnot. I didn't see one today, but I found a few really pretty tin boxes and an old muffin tin. The market today was so great (well, to me anyway), but I only had about 30 minutes there because it took soooo freaking long to get there in double decker bus traffic. Next week I'll try to take some pictures at the market. Today I just whizzed in and out. But I love the little things I came home with. Oh, and you might notice I'm doing a little blog make-over. Please don't mind the off-center header, which I haven't been able to fix yet. And some fonts, gotta change a few of those too. But I'm out of my blog funk, so you can expect more regular posts like the old days.

A Place to Sew

We have a shed in our garden that I'd love to turn into a little craft / sewing room just like this one that Artemis created. But alas, our little shed is filled with garden supplies and our storage (stuff I don't want to part with like christmas decorations and camping gear, etc), and it doesn't have windows. But isn't her shed so adorable! I won't be turning our shed into a craft room, but I've decided to make a space to sew in our little house. Even though it just takes a few minutes to take everything out of the closet, the fact that my sewing machine and all my supplies live in the closet is a big deterrent to actually making anything. So I'm going make a home for it outside the closet. The area that I consider to be the bar is becoming my sewing / office station. It's small, but I think it will work. Pictures to come, maybe in a week or so once I have it all together. In the meantime, enjoy Artemis's shed!
