A tour of the Shed

Yesterday I posted that my rag doll was going to live in the shed, and I realise that the shed sounds a rather dark dingy place, so I thought I would give you a tour.



this is the corner of my desk, the drawers contain zips and threads. The piece of driftwood was collected on New Years Day in the local beach. There are three boxes of pens, and the basket towards the edge of the picture contains little flowers. The little blue pot holds all my drawing pins, with a couple of pincushions. The pink hat box is a beautiful sewing box, and the blue flowery hat box contains ribbon and the white basket in one of my favourites that is filled to the brim with tapestry wool. I am a bit of a basket fanatic. The book is a diary.







Following round is one of the noticeboards in order to encourage me, I pin up my certificates, letters and cards. As well as beautiful postcards of Dorset. The chairs were £2 from the local dump and they are so comfortable. The Over locker is stored there until I use it and the little boxes contain all the fabric, patterns and papers.









Another noticeboard sits above the desk, at the centre is a saying,

"If you want it you have to make it possible"

















moving further round is the little dresser where little dolly sits, there is lots of paraphernalia, including ribbons and bows, once again you can see my desire for glass jars!












The last corner is my book case with some of my craft books. I love having inspirational material close by. Of course Dolly the mannequin, is an excellent model.

So now you have it, my shed. My favourite place in the world.

  3. When you said your dolly was going into your shed, I thought, "Poor dolly!", but then I thought, "Pull yourself together Pippa, it's only a dolly!" (I have been known to buy dolls from charity shops because they look lonely, so I need to get a grip sometimes!). But hey, what a shed!! Your studio is beautiful, such a happy place to sit and be creative. I bet you just sit there sometimes and enjoy looking at all the pretty things!! Lucky, lucky dolly!!
