I have staked out my territory…it’s mine…I’m sooooooo happy. Much to my husband’s amusement, I have finally claimed a little piece of this chaotic house to call my own. No buisness stuff, no children’s toys, no computer either borrowed, old or new. A space to call my own. For nothing but the sweet joy and release of creation and inspiration. I have a sewing “room”. No sharing!! Ha!!!
I collected these embroidery hoops so long ago with intention to create an inspiration/project space. Such a simple task that took mere minutes. I would include a “tutorial”, but hey people, I won’t insult your intelligence….it’s toooooo easy. I just took each hoop and laid them atop pieces of co-ordinating fabric. I stretched the fabric tight on each hoop and pinned the excess fabric behind the hoop to remain hidden. You could always trim off the excess fabric….but hey, I’m too cheap and I wanted the option of using these fabrics later if necessary…I can’t throw out anything!! It’s a bit of a problem I know.
What a great way to display my favourite vintage patterns (they change often…just like my mind) and projects and patterns I have on-the-go. What do you think??? I might collect more larger hoops for the children’s room to post their arts and crafts….limitless possibilities…hmmmmmm
Oh…and what is that hanging on my dressform……stay tuned!!

Oh my, that is wonderful. It looks so neat, spacious, new and full of possibility (did I mention neat!). I love the hoops. I too am too cheap to throw stuff away. I have a little pile of scraps that lord knows what I’ll use them for! It looks like such a little slice of heaven, you’ve inspired me to clean up my own space. I’ve emailed you a photo (I’m too ashamed to show it to blogworld) Congrats! Can’t wait to see whats up next….

Oh, Jacq, I LOVE your space! And everything in it! What an awesome idea with the embroidery hoops-really like the kid’s art suggestion…
While I am super stoked to have set aside space in my home now, it doubles as a playroom, office, guestroom..not too good, especially the guestroom part which means sewing is on hold when company arrives!
