Oh, how I long for an organised space, I look at some fab -u -lous studios on so many blogs and can only dream of being so sorted!
I bought this Arts and Crafts dresser a couple of years ago for £100, it is far too big for my room but I love it. The top holds my collection of china but hidden away in the cupboards and drawers are my creative bits and pieces, paints, beads, threads, all those little things. Can you spot those darling mice?
My Dining table is my workspace, I fold fabric for workshops and fairs.
It is my main creative space and can get rather busy.
The chairs belonged to my Great grandmother, I remember them being in her bedroom they were made by her husband. The pencil drawings on the wall were done by my grandad in the 1950's.
Those ladies are so elegant.
It's so nice to be surrounded by my families creative efforts.
I love making patchwork quilts and have recently been machine quilting.
When I am using my glue gun I settle down on my sofa and really make a mess.
Every New Year I resolve to be more organised and less messy.
I honestly do keep trying, I manage to create in all this mess which is a miracle.
Those mice must really be my guardian angels!
When I finish my work I can walk by the beach and gets lots more inspiration or go on a blog hop and dream of a tidy workspace.
I'm actually having a good time in my tiny messy creative space. I'm full of ideas so if you don't hear from me for a while I'm buried in a muddle making beautiful things.

Hi Angela, That is a great space to create. And the drawings your grandfather had done are verry nice. Thanks for sharing your space for creating..........Julian
What a lovely space & such a cute name :-)
Thanks for sharing your creativity and your home. I love your cute mice!
I love this tiny little space. I think it makes you more creative. It also makes you more likely to use up all of your stuff. :)

I love the idea that you are surrounded by the creative endeavours of your family. Your dresser was a good buy. Big is always good because heavens knows we need all the storage we can get. My space usually looks a lot like yours :)
Small spaces have so much going for them.
I never feel that I need a bigger workspace. I would have to clean up more.
If you really want a few more mice, I can always get Frank my cat to scout around for a couple. You will have to pick them up though :-) x x x
Angela, What a terrific set up you have for your studio! What a great place to go for inspiration. You have a knack for coming up with a creative use of space.

Those pencil drawings by your grandfather are a true treasure. You are always making the most wonderful things. Obviously creativity runs in the family. My dining table is where I make the biggest messes too, but I must start cleaning it off before hitting the skyways on Sunday. Best wishes for a beautiful day, Tammy

I really like that you're surrounded by things you love, making your creative space special. I think it's more fun and inspiring when I have several projects laying out on my table. Thanks for sharing.
How special to have your dad's sketches, which are awesome, and your grandmothers chairs to make your surroundings so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creative haven.
What a lovely space filled with so many personal pieces. Love your pretty fabrics & your tiny mouse guardians! :D
