Behind the Curtain

runswithscissors15

When you live in a small house, it can be difficult to find space to spare for crafting. For many, many years, my crafting space was one end of our dining room table.


Now that the kids are older, I've carved out some space that is dedicated (ok, almost) to crafts. I do use the desk as my work station for my day job as well, but everything else in the space is for sewing & crafting.


It also happens to be somewhat clean at the moment, so I snapped a few pics to share!


My ironing/cutting station is on the left. My son built it for me when he was in high school. I love it! It is the perfect height, fits my giant wool pressing mat, and offers lots of storage. Lately, it has also become my photography station for smaller items. Good lighting, and no bending make it a winner!


To the right is my sit/stand desk. I try to stand as much as I can, but lower it when I'm sewing. I recently moved it to this window, and am loving watching the birds and squirrels outside.


Moving around the corner is my grandmother's hutch. More storage in the bottom, and the top is filled with quilts. Next to that is the cedar chest my dad bought for my mom when he was stationed in Germany during the Korean War. It houses some antique quilts and afghans.


Lastly is my newest addition. A cube storage unit. The two left-hand columns are filled with yarn, the rest is fabric and quilting WIPs (works in progress).


So that's my creative space. It isn't big or fancy, but it's mine, and I love it! Where do you create?
