oh really miss*R !
I know this is going to come as a shock to some of you - who think that my home is a delightful haven, all tidy and ordered. but sorry no. that is a lie. yes, it is. I am as messy as the next one.
I am trying so hard to be creative again, really I am. But I ask you, just how can a girl work in a mess that is this:

This is my creative mess - where I sew. But I just don't sew, I look for a bit of this and a bit of that and as I do, I don't put it back. The old saying - ' a place for everything and everything in its place' does certainly not apply here. Look at it! I simply must get in a do something about it. This room is off my bedroom and looks over my garden. a truly delightful room but every time I look in - I shudder, close the door and put it into the bowels of my mind.

neater than my home right now. With William home and a new baby goat needing attention I haven't done anything inside.
Thanks for sharing some of your creative space.
It must be lovely to create and look over your lovely garden!
Like you I try to be tidy but like to have everything at my fingertips when I am creating and often end up in a mess. So I do understand!
Love the background you are using on your blog of one of Colette's paintings. She is a dear friend of mine too and I am pleased you have found each other.
I love your "mess"! It is such a pretty mess.
Looks a similar mess to mine. At the moment I am working out of one of the children's old rooms, [my daughter's] so if she comes to stay I have to tidy and sort. Hope to get the spare room sorted for my crafting etc this autumn.
Love xx
I just had to pop over and say howdy. I love posts like this. The dailies are so peaceful to read about, even the messes. (and btw, this isn't even a mess! a mess has to have dust on it!!!) But I see you're the type who must sit in the middle and have all your pretties surrounding you, eh?
Robyn, you should see my bedroom! I have yet to put things away from my trip to DC going on a week and a half ago!! I hate putting stuff away! (But I did clean out from under my kitchen sink today--ew.) xxoo
Ha ha:) I know the feeling! you couldnt sit down in my dining room it is so cluttered,and i hop from one project to the next,despite daily visits to Brocante home I am still not the vintage housekeeper I long to be,and I too adore all this collage art! I have had a go at making a few cards,I may post about them later!Your quilts are exquisite Robyn,I am posting your fabrics off tommorow,let me know when they arrive,hugs xx
Hey I call that "organized clutter"! lol My computer room is where I've also got a lot of my hobbies and collections going on and sometimes I can barely make my way to my computer! lol
ah Robyn, its not so bad, I think your sewing room is really cozy, and I love the curtains. Besides, everyone needs to have own their messy spots !!
Care to sign up for Housekeeping 101?! Teasing, just teasing! Actually, in a crafty room, isn't messiness the sign of a truly creative soul? That's what I tell myself when I can't find my machine under the piles of craft stuff...
Your craft room is charming! Love the lavender walls and the chintz curtains and your shelving! You are right brained and very creative! True artists are messy in their creation areas...(You should see my little corner!) It is organized CHAOS! I have piles of stuff on the floor and in baskets and on my desk and shelves...I usually can find what I am needing.. when I don't it runs me nutso cause it interupts the "flow". Does anyone else notice this? I even forget to eat when I am in the flow. Wish the flow would come more often hehe. I try to clean it when company comes. Or DH complains about it.
Your creative mess looks so lovely and the quilt with the doves is absolutely gorgeous!
You call this a mess??
You should see mine - bwahahahaha!
I love the fabric on the chair and the curtains. xox
oh I get this way too
until at some point I must clean up and start over again.
I need studio fairies to keep it all in order for me.
My embroidery thread box is a nightmare at times. Then I go thru it all and make it right swearing to myself that I will keep in check...but in a mad fit of creativity it all ends up crazy again ...Thats okay I discover things when I am cleaning up that I forget I have and sometimes that inspires me to go at something entirely new.
Anyway, you are not alone in this!
i see some interesting stuff as I snoop around here thru your things ! Inspiring me.
