Milton, FL Craft Room/Office

I never did post pictures of my craft area in Milton, did I?

I loved the color of the walls and the curtains (they were like that when we got there)… perfect. And they coordinated perfectly with my bulletin board and office chair, too.

The desktop computer is only hooked up because I forgot to move some files off of it… we later freecycled it. There is also a closet to the right that holds my supplies.

This is where I write for Joyful Abode, Start Cooking, and Tippy Leaf, where I read your delicious and inspiring blogs, and where I manage our finances.

This is where the sewing happens, and where I package orders for shipping.

The guy made me this ribbon spool holder… 1 dowel + 3 hook thingies + 3 office alligator clips

And I love how colorful and cheerful all the thread looks… like art in itself!

My sketches are screaming, “Make us into something! Embroider us! Make us into stationery!” … aren’t they cute all lined up like clothes on a line?

When you sew a lot at one time, the machine gets a little fuzzed up… so it’s good to have a can of air nearby.

And this computer desk is perfect as a sewing desk… the keyboard tray keeps all of my essentials close at hand!

I wonder what my new office/sewing room will look like! Maybe I’ll mix it up a little. Any suggestions?

    It all looks so organized! I love how you hung stuff on the walls, I think when we move in August and are forced to downsize, I’ll see what all I can rig up on the wall to save space.

    nice craft room, wait till you “collect” a few more things… then it will be a “stash” of stuff like mine ☺
