As I mentioned last time, I have recently finished (pending further improvements to be made over time!) shaping my new creative space. For now it is the Inner Sanctum, however I thought I would appeal to the masses to find a suitable name for my crafting haven.
I have already told you that I had (as my pre-motherhood dreamer self) envisaged myself and Small whiling away the hours in perfect contentment with a productive achievement to show for each day! In reality I am actually not keen on having Small invade this tranquil space as she invariably kicks up a stink and we have to return to the house before I have even taken the cover off the sewing machine! I tried it once: she decided she wanted to nap within 5 minutes and although she napped on a cushion, I achieved nothing because I couldn’t make any noise and then she woke up and wouldn’t play with anything – not even the amazing and noisy walker I had bought her especially for the cabin. She did pay a very brief visit, along with all of her friends, to have their feet painted for the pottery event, but that’s enough for her until she gets a bit older and starts to participate a bit more!
Until a few weeks agoI hadn’t actually made anything in my new studio, but I had often gone down there to potter around, reorganise my craft library, sort drawer units, hoover (laughable as I don’t even hoover my house), and constantly add things to my pegboards (new obsession!) Despite this lack of creative activity, I get an amazing feeling of peace from the moment I walk through the door. It really is the perfect escape for the escapist crafter!
Let me show you around
