My Creative Space

Is a shambles! I’m here today to inspire you (really!) to not let your creative space get like this!!

Or this!!

So – my main “creative” aim for today is to try to achieve some semblance of order so that I can walk through this room without cringing and can look forward to sitting at this table again – even look forward to finding what I need when I need it!

For other much cleaner and prettier creative spaces take a peek here.

This week I’ve been hand painting and free motion machine quilting – both a lot of fun!

I’ve been making needle books for my friends in my stitching group for Christmas presents. Now the pressure is on because tonight is our last meeting for the year and the needle books aren’t finished!

This has been great free motion practice for me and I think I’m starting to get a feel for it now.

I used salt resists on the hand painted fabric for lots of texture.

Love the colours and textures in this one. Hopefully I’ll get these finished early enough to photograph the final product.

Of course, Thursday is our busiest day of the week with piano lessons and errands. Wish me luck!

You can join in My Creative Space at Kirsty’s and check out all the other participants.

I’m joining in My Creative Space for the first time today.

I have dyed shorts and a top awaiting completion.

The Maisy quilt continues, along with some little needle book Christmas gifts for the ladies in my stitching group.

We have a new camera. YES!!! No more point and shoot for us, we love our Nikon SLR. Husband has been experimenting in his favourite place – the garden.

Possibly the most photogenic member of our family and certainly the most arrogant 🙂
