Welcome to My Studio

I know what you're thinking... "didn't she already post about her studio a year ago?"  Why yes I did, BUT since then I have moved into a much bigger and better place - the master bedroom :D  You see, the closet is MUCH bigger in the master bedroom than in my previous room and I have a lot more fibre than I do clothes and since I was unsupervised one day when Jeremy was at a football game, I switched the two rooms around.
Picture
I love this space, I have lots of natural light flowing in and it's very comfortable.  I can come into this room and relax, forget about the stresses of the day and hang out and do what I love.  This couch is the perfect place to work on projects.  I have my laptop on the table and I can work on my website, post to Facebook, check Ravelry and update my Etsy shop all while working on my current project.  And if you ever come stay with me, this opens up into a bed as well.
Picture
My old dresser, which used to be my mom's then mine, houses all my reference books, my spindle collection and my torso Vivian.  It is also a great hiding spot for small balls of yarn, loose fibre, notions, and anything else that I squirrel away.
That handsome guy on the back of the couch is my honey - Rider aka Mr. Eyebrows.



The wall behind my couch will hold my design board once I get it made but at the moment, there hangs a very fitting picture that I've always gotten a kick out of.

My desk, looks in order during the time this picture was taken, but it doesn't always look that organized.  My sewing machine is here, and I really want to get using it.  (I'm just learning to sew and working on a quilt top).  The drawers hold documents and miscellaneous notions which I can never seem to find when I need them.  My ball winder and swift get used daily.  If you don't have either of these pieces of equipment I can't recommend them enough.  I don't know what I would do without either of them. On my chair, hangs a few project bags.
Picture
My yarn cabinet is another love.  My husband and I got it at Ikea and it's exactly what I needed.  Almost my entire yarn stash fits into this cabinet (with the exception of a few bins in the closet).  My handspun skeins usually sit on the top shelf and some of my more luxurious fibres are also kept safe inside.  My cats aren't all that interested in my fibre but I don't want to give them any reason to be either.  This is Amy, Phoebe and Xena, they are getting ready to sunbathe.

On my door hang many more project bags - yes I love bags ;P  The door to the right is the ensuite bathroom which is also a bonus if you happen to stay over.  My Pygora Goat and my Corriedale sheep reside atop my cabinet with my niddy noddy's.

The pièce de résistance is what is behind door #1... my wonderful closet <3  I store my fibre stash in here along with a couple spinning wheels, my jack loom, class supplies and... more project bags.
Picture
The dresser holds some of my handknits, leftover yarn balls and extra bobbins.  This closet was a delightful accident. When a mistake on the blueprints left us with a room within a room, we were happy to let that one go.   If you haven't hung out in my studio I would love to have you.  I will put the tea on and we can knit/spin the time away.  


~This is my happy place~
