Sanity Restored



It's amazing the difference twenty-four hours can make!

Almost everything is back in order in my sewing room, though Rudolph seems to have decided to jump from the wall and play Peek-a-Boo...




My wall of embroideries, cross-stitches and vintage fabric will get re-arranged better when I next re-paper the wall - up till now it has just been a case of bang-a-nail-in-the-wall-and-hope-it-looks-okay...




Far too many boxes to fit under the worktop.  One day I will manage to reduce what I have, but it's not likely to happen any time soon!




I still love this sampler I made when I was expecting Miss U-t-B.   Babies may not keep, but she's still mine, even at seventeen!




My scrapbooking paper  and washi tape topped chest of drawers is still looking cheery...




Lots of little bits of vintage sewing paraphernalia on top of my button-filled mini chest of drawers...




More hand-me-downs from Miss U-t-B - her changing table (made from an old, school, typewriter desk salvaged by Mr U-t-B about thirty years ago), her first dolls' house and a rag doll I made her...




And her little Russian Doll...




The blanket box, filled with fabric (I think you guessed), looks tidy...




And even the noticeboard has got an orderly look about it...




Shame the same can't be said for the burgeoning heap in the corner of the worktop...




And the pile behind the tea-trolley!

  2. Looks a lot better than the previous post....very neat and tidy. Those wee piles here and there are just evidence of creativity which is a good thing :)

  4. My sewing room started off tidy when I first created it, but it is gradually filling up and becoming a general dumping ground for things I'm not sure what to do with. I can't seem to throw much out and like you I hang onto a few old dolls and toys of Little Bird that I can't bear to give to the Charity shop just yet.

    1. It's sometimes more important to hang onto those little things than to have an uncluttered house!

  6. It all looks very pretty and neat, and I love your wall of framed embroideries. Its good to see a bit of gritty realism too though in the last couple of photos - more like the corners of my sewing room!
    Love the baby sampler.
    Have a great weekend Alix!

    1. The gritty realism is spreading now, a few days down the line...

  7. Great room, so neat, mine is a mess right now. Every time I clean it up I get a project going and destroy it. I need to clean out the closet so I can put more stuff in there.
