Sewing Nook Peek

Lately I've been working on creating a little sewing space in our apartment. This area used to be the bar, but I'm turning it into my sewing nook instead. I'm just not motivated to sew with my sewing machine in the closet. I've been spending more time putting the little space together than actually sewing, but that's part of the fun. I'm not quite finished yet, but here's a peek. My favorite part so far is the wall that I covered in book pages from an old sewing classic. The book was falling apart anyway, so I didn't feel too guilty. I actually covered poster board so that I wouldn't have to peel the pages off of our rented walls one day. I just need a few more things to complete the spot, and then I'll post more pictures. 

Just Because it's Pretty

Yesterday when I was running errands I popped into a fun shop that sells housewares--things like lighting, furniture, kitchen goods and the like. Even though they have a lot of big, shiny merchandise, my eye was immediately drawn to a row of tiny heart bud vases they had on a narrow wooden board. They looked so sweet. I had to get one of those little heart bud vases. It looks pretty on our windowsill.
