Ease and Easy

Today I'm loving my little sewing space. (When I sew I sit on a Swiss ball. I do not exercise in here!)

When we moved in to this house we wanted for me to have a crafty space. Not because I make money from it or because I deserved it but just because The Atlas is very kind to me and sewing on a dining table that gets used 3 times a day, with small children is not really conducive to easy creative pursuit.

I see this space (a converted walk in wardrobe) as a total privilege. I know many other crafters and even those that use their craft for profit don't have a special space for them.

This week I was hemming a skirt, that was too long, 10 minutes before we left for school and I stopped to be thankful for my sewing machine and over locker set up and ready to go for a quick job.

Today I'm grateful for a space in my home to call my own and a family who sees my creative pursuits as valid.

Wishing you a weekend where you are delighted with a new perspective.

  2. That's a lovely space, but more importantly, it's great that your family understands the importance of you having somewhere to be creative. A happy Mama makes for a happy family - and your creative skills are amazing too!

Hi - if you comment from a mobile device I'll be able to read it but it won't show up because I use intense debate for other comments. I'd still love to know what you are thinking :o) xx
