I've sewn in the last label and I'm delivering frilly bloomers to the new Lark shop this morning.
My (our) creative space this week, the first week of the school holidays, is here at the girls' art and craft table. It's been awful, wet and windy weather outside, so this is where we are spending a lot of our time.
The making area is just off the main living area but still in the same room. Here the girls can express themselves and make a bit of a mess while they are at it.
There are lots of bits and pieces to inspire them to create. We seem to accumulate crafty equipment, bits of nature and odds and ends we come across because you never know when you'll need just that right bit. Sometimes it's that bit that inspires a whole new project.
And we have a big cupboard to store all their crafty bits and pieces in. Looks like that top shelf is in need of a tidy.
At times it does get sticky, covered in glitter or so covered in art work that you can't see the table or find what you are looking for, but it's a small price to pay for having a space that encourages making and creating.

Yowzers, there's a whole lotta craft action going on at your house! I love all the stuff spilling out of the cupboards. I hope one day I can blame some of that familiar-looking mess on my kids... right now they're more about the cars than the craft.
ReplyDeleteThose bloomers are almost edible-looking. I bet they sell in a jiff.
I hope there was some sort of little celebration after that last label was sewn on your beautiful bloomers.
ReplyDeleteYour my/our creative space is perfect. It looks used, busy, plentiful, inspiring, welcoming, interesting and colourful. And don't you want your space to be describe like this and not "neat and tidy"...!
