Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion
I seem to have spent a fair amount of time faffing around this week. I can't grumble though as it has meant a spotlessly clean studio.
It had become a bit of a dumping ground with things not being put away. Plus I had to buy a new clock which kickstarted it all.
I moved my shelves from their temporary position on my industrial overlocker to the work top. Which then meant I had to sort through what was on there and tidy it all up.
Next on the hit list was my postal supplies - which were all stuffed into a carrier bag. After moving all my scraps to a box, I put my supplies in the now empty basket.
After a quick hoover, order was restored and it's back to the pincushions




Back to those pincushions, there's no escaping them! It is a great feeling when you've had a good tidy up and it all looks lovely. Love the new clock

Hi, your shelves look really good. Isn't it a rewarding feeling to have a clear out and reorganise everything!

hi,
wish my work room looked half as tidy as yours before you sorted it out let alone now you've organised it more.... It's lovely.
All those lovely pin cusions you've been making are really sweet, I'm so glad I bought one lst summer - especially now you'll be famously known as the liberty pin cushion queen.

I love sorting out my small sewing area. It just puts a very tiny area to rights, leaves things calmer in my brain! I loved your pictures, Yes and I still love your pin cushions. Thanks for replying re the work basket. Yes, let me know if you do another one. Gayle
