My hobby room is FINALLY almost completely ready...I say that with a laugh as the last 5% always seems to take longer than the first 95%!!! My kids have affectionately named it the "Woman Lair" as I call my husbands studio the "Man Lair"...LOL. Here are a couple of pics:
The wall to the left has a set of garden doors that go out onto the back patio and the wall to the right has a closet and a display cabinet with glass doors that I will use to display "finished" work...but it's not ready yet so will show that later. :) It's a small room, but all mine now and am happy with how it turned out. Oh, and yes, under that white cover is a Singer sewing machine that I bought...I must be nuts, but I've always wanted one and never had room to put one until now! So, that is my new toy and I am having fun with it so far. I hope to post of a pic of my first machine sewn pillow finish in my next blog post...wish me luck!
Well, the bunnies are out and here are a couple of bunnies that I have been working on:
The first one was a small SAL from Kissy Cross which was done in 3 parts over 6 days. I changed up the colours and also did a second version in lighter colours. I picked out some co-ordinating fabric for each (shown along the left) and these two will be my first pillow finishes. I think I stitched two of them just in case I botch one! ;)
The second bunny is Happy Bunny Bunny Day from The Trilogy and I hope he'll be done by Easter!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love your new hobby room...I'm so jealous! I've been thinking of getting a sewing machine after seeing all the lovely pillows etc other stitchers make, but I remember how useless I was at sewing with a machine at school (even though it was years and years and years ago!!)
ReplyDeleteThe bunny stitching looks wonderful too!
What a great space! Love the cabinets...when I first glanced at the picture I thought it was your kitchen :^) Can't wait to see the fully finished product.
