my sewing room

What a beautiful Sunday morning it is! I hope it's sunny where you are too. I can't wait to get outside for a run across the park, all the birds are tweeting away...it definitely feels like spring.

Here's a few photos from my sewing room which is now nice and tidy, I want it to be a practical space but also look lovely too. It would be great to have a complete change but as we are only renting our little cottage, it's difficult to change things too much.

These glass jars are perfect for storing bits of vintage lace and trims. The pinking sheers and china lady belonged to my great Aunt Lily who used to be a seamstress in London.

I love working in this room, it gets all the afternoon sun. From my desk window I can see apple & blossom trees, farm buildings, fields of horses and one donkey. It really is lovely!

  5. What a lovely space - and so tidy!! Your view sounds beautiful - I think I would be very happy to spend lots of time there, in the sunshine of course. So happy that spring has sprung - I've been out with my camera, snapping like mad :)

  9. Everything in here is so pretty. I can't keep my studio organized though I do try. I know the answer is to pare down which is the most difficult for me.
