Studio Update

The days have been flying by and although I have been busy sewing and creating I have had very little time to keep my blog updated.

I took a couple of pictures of the area in my studio where I sit and sew.

The garden is coming to life and it's lovely to watch the blackbirds gathering food for their young as I sit and work. This was a corner computer table I kept, stored away, when we redecorated my daughters bedroom and got her new furniture. it was such a good size and shape I knew it would come in handy!
