The New Studio
Our recent move to Washington came with perks. Sure, it was our second move in just under a year but it was great for my husband's career AND I was promised a studio. Boy did my husband deliver!
The new studio is huge. I love it. The shelving on the far left contains shipping supplies & started projects. The next unit is felt, felt, felt, The third unit is cottons on top and fleece on the bottom and the far right (barely visible) holds my flannels. That's a 6 foot table in the middle of the room! The three bins underneath hold my scraps--felt in the left, then cottons/flannel, then fleece.
Yes that's another shelving unit to the very left of this photo. It holds more projects. You can see my inventory storage on the right. The crates hold felt food, as do the shelves above.
Sorry for this terribly blurry photo. This wall holds a cabinet for my various small supplies, some bins of projects/ fabric, and the dresser holds doll diapers for my other etsy shop, Sweet Doll Boutique.
See that door? No, that doesn't lead out of the room....it leads into a walk-in closet WITH window. Perfect for my photography. Nothing like natural light to enhance my photos. I'll have to post pictures of that room later.
Keep in mind that we've just moved--I still have bins of fabric to get out & we obviously need to get some cuter storage (with this beautiful room the garage style plastic shelving units aren't cutting it anymore!). It's a work in progress but a great start.
Right outside of my studio is a 20 ft x 10 ft. room that is our daughter's play room. Wonderful! The person who designed this house used this space as an office. I wonder what he'd think of it now? :)

Ahoy Matey!
I still can't tell you my secret yet. Two more weeks. Until then, my shops are shut down in vacation mode & I am taking the time to finish projects I started a year or two ago!
The latest is this pirate baby gift. I had the skull fabric I'd inherited from someone & just couldn't figure out what to do with it. My eye caught the red & white stripe fabric also in my collection and inspiration struck. I made a diaper bag with 4 pockets inside & a pirate applique on the outside. I hand embroidered the words Pirate Booty Bag & it was ready to go.
The quilt is large enough that it'd make a great baby play mat or cover up for baby. The three burp cloths & set of reversible bibs? Well, let's just say I'd walk the plank for 'em they're so cute! Now, I just need to find someone having a pirate baby.....hmmmm...... :)

My Little "Helper"
I'm not sure if I should title the post "Helper" or "Hoarder." Grace decided to help me with my latest creation--a felt food snow cone--by hoarding every single piece. Luckily, she responded well to the trade of crayons & a coloring book that I offered during hostage negotiations. I was able to get this prototype whipped up. It's being sent to LucyCake Boutique down in Texas next week along with the rest of my fair food.

I make a lot of patterns for my felt food myself but this one was an Umecrafts pattern. Gotta love her stuff!
