Today the mailman brought my long awaited spring issue of Studios Magazine! You may recall the sneak peek of my tidied-up workspace from January. Now that the issue is out (well, actually March 31st) I thought I’d share a few pics that didn’t make it in the mag.

Here’s me at my sewing machine, which you can see is right by my window to the backyard and neighborhood park. Mixed blessing, that view. Mostly great. Sometimes nerve wracking and noisy. The idea board behind me is painted homasote my husband put up for me. I used to have lots of little bulletin boards but this is a luxurious expanse by comparison.

 

Hanging above me on the retractable clothesline is a Clothes Pin Caddy made from a refashioned blouse. (I made this project special for Studios Magazine, so check out the issue for all of the how-to details!) I loooove my clothesline to hang even more swatches and inspiration.

You would not believe the amazing and inspiring studios shown in this issue. You’ll see, you’ll have total studio-envy. I’m even envious of my own studio. Good thing it has been documented in all it’s tidy-glory, because I’m sure it’ll NEVER look that organized again. It certainly doesn’t now!
