This is it!

I have postponed this for far too long...


I have fallen in love, again and again with stitching and sewing and making things but did nothing about it.
This summer I did it!
I created a space in my attic which is ALL MINE! YES! All mine..:)
Many thanks to Mum for helping out.


I collected loads of materials, from reputable companies to scraps and remains around the house. I brought the sewing machine upstairs, my crafty books, my needles and threads, paintings and a rocking chair, went to Ikea and bought a white desk and a pink chair... finally more materials








...and scissors and stuff.


I finally started my projects: timidly at first: lavender hearts, stuffed little birds,






decorating and revamping shoe boxes.






 I have recently completed my first cushion cover in Rosalia. (picture to follow!)


So,  finally, I am happy! Happy with myself for accomplishing something for myself!:)


Would love to write more..but the sewing machine is staring at me, the materials in various flowery prints are staring at me, the needles and ribbons are staring at me and Mr Brian (the cat) is staring at me..


I'll be off now, I'm ready to enjoy my new room, learn new crafty skills and post my projects here for all to see.:)
So keep an eye on this blog..you never know what stories will come out from the attic..:p

PS A big inspiration for starting all this? Yes, you guessed: Cath Kidston! So thank you Cath Kidston, I bought all your books and other accessories that go with the hobby, the room,.... with me..:)
