WORK SPACE #1

I've decided that in the spirit of sharing I would invite you into my work space or at least one of them. I have several but this one is the most organized. The reason it's so organized I paid a visit to Ikea and came home with several of the wonderful storage boxes they carry. So without wasting your time with a bunch of verbal nothing I'll show you a few photos.



The hutch which is the backbone of this work station was built by my son who is a very gifted carpenter. There are all sorts of spaces such as the ones where my sketch pads, far left and bottom middle are kept. I went with the green and white as my favorite color is green and I like the crisp look of this color combo.



This is where I do most of my blogging and where I'm sitting at this very minute. There is more storage to either side of the computer station.




The photo above is the stack or pile of junk  supplies and books, and boxed toilet that blocks the closet where more supplies and my Christmas wrap is stored.




While straightening up the area the other day I discovered a project that I started many years ago. This was in the time before my eyesight got so bad. At least then I had some closeup vision. I made the pattern for this piece and although I don't have many colors of floss left after giving most of it to my daughter I'm thinking about trying to complete this piece now that I've discovered that wearing my reading glasses and using the lighted magnifier I might be able to see what I'm doing. This isn't the only piece that's in the box that got left partially done.

I've got to hurry and finish this as my batteries in my mouse are fading fast and I haven't any new ones until I get to a store. 

Hope you weren't too bored with this visit. Now you know where I spend most of my time.

As always, thanks for stopping by.

Hi Maddy, Your workspace is so neat and organized. That's what I should be doing, but I'm making stuff instead!!!! Thanks for sharing your workroom.

If I could be as organized I'd love it. I'm the most disorganized person... well, maybe not the most disorganized person... but I may be a close second. Your room looks wonderful and the colors are great. Green is my favorite color too. :-)

The cross stitch you found that you started many moons ago is darling. I used to cross stitch now and then myself... but I too have bad vision now and hands that have too much ache in them to hold a needle for that long.

Brightest blessings to you,
Bird

Katy Cameron said...

Hi MaddY, so glad to meet you and thank you for coming over to my blog and check it out. Yep, that Linda and I go way back and as she said in her comment to me, she understands what I'm always ranting about, something that should be a concern!! LOL

I love your wonderful office. I don't dare show you pics of my studio...you're liable to go blind...it's almost as bad as starring at the sun!!

I'm looking forward to reading more about you and your "everydays," and again, thanks so much for comin' on over. I'm not as mindful as Linda is with blogs, so when I write, ya know I've got more to say than needs to be said!! LOL

I was just looking at some of your older posts, and I really like this one. You should have made me go upstairs when I was over last month so that I could see your put together space! It looks really organized. And I think it's about time that you finished that sweet needlepoint.
hugs,
Maggie
