If your DH can have a 'study', surely you're entitled to a 'studio' (which, if you're like me is a word you might find hard to use....it's taken me years to feel comfortable with it....thinking that all I 'deserve' is a sewing room). That shop looks amazing and I know I could lose myself in there for at least a couple of hours!

It was an extra bedroom where everything that had no where to go ended up. It got cleaned out periodically, but owning it's doomed purpose seemed to help clarify what we were doing with that room. I never want a doom room again, so I'm hoping with my remaining years to be more focused about what I accumulate.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-57525803739828281592019-10-07T12:14:54.462-04:002019-10-07T12:14:54.462-04:00Yes - glad (and thankful) for all the good things!...Yes - glad (and thankful) for all the good things!

Is it fear of commitment, I wonder? Your comment makes me think the key to figuring out what I call this room is going to come with time and it's going to require whittling out a lot of stuff still that I have just for the sake of having. I need to seriously edit and curate my collection of creative stuff, to have what I own make sense for who I am today, or the part(s) of me I want to nurture and hone. I'm thinking to do that effectively, though, I need to know who I am, and what I truly want to be about, don't I? I am such an -ish person, I'm not sure that's possibility. But as a goal, it seems a worthy one.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-45646320126954241882019-10-07T12:00:31.554-04:002019-10-07T12:00:31.554-04:00Tatting is baffling to me, but I've not consid...Tatting is baffling to me, but I've not considered it beyond looking at the odd-looking tool(s) one uses and beautiful finished products. Crafting room isn't quite what I'm after either because the interests I'd like it to contain and inspire go beyond crafting. Sigh. I'm beginning to think I'll eventually just end up calling it "my room". You know, to differentiate it from all the other rooms in my house that I have free access to and can house my interests in. :^/ Feeling pretty "privileged" at the moment...Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-53133759967808711162019-10-07T11:54:40.250-04:002019-10-07T11:54:40.250-04:00Studio is a very appealing word, and I like to thi...Studio is a very appealing word, and I like to think of the possibilities it holds. But I confess, it sounds a little pretentious for me. I hear the word and I imagine a separate structure. A place where I have to leave my house, walk even just a few steps and I'm in - away from the rest of the world. Oh yeah... I'd love to have a studio... ;^)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-58511029074109267322019-10-07T11:36:57.324-04:002019-10-07T11:36:57.324-04:00What an exciting week you had!

Good food, good friends and yarn? What more could a gal ask for? Happy Birthday to your son and it reminded me of that old t.v. show "My 3 Sons"..remember that one? What a handsome group of young men. I love the Doris Shawl and the yarns you chose for it.<br />You are such a great teacher to so many. I think the heart is darling....of course....now I want to make one too! LOL! Your student looked totally absorbed in her project...."in the zone" as they say. Have a great week ahead and you are motivating me to get my "studio" in shape. As soon as all the outside work is done (just starting on it)...woe is me! LOL!

Tatting is almost non-existent these days, for one. Your weekend with friends and family sounds wonderful and very fulfilling. As for your 'yarn room's Make it your crafting room. That covers so many different things.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-76910770699124783372019-10-07T00:29:23.568-04:002019-10-07T00:29:23.568-04:00Yay for orderly (ish) houses.

My yarn/study/painting/music room is much to crowded these days to work in it, but everything is stored more or less in an orderly fashion. At least I can find things when I need them.<br /> I love teaching young people crafty things. It sounds like a blissful time you spent teaching her embroidery. <br />There is a yarn store like that one near my house. It also is very unassuming with a tiny door that leads you downstairs, and then it opens into a space much like the picture you shared. No vertical swift though - that is a beauty.

I have never been to a yarn store such as this. I have a room that I call the sewing room, but it is my laundry room, ironing room, office, and so much more:) It is funny how we attach a name to a room. At our previous home, we had a study because it had a desk in there in the days of one computer per family and a desk top at that. That room was quite a catch all though, so I don't know that study quite fit it, but it stayed the study. I can't imagine getting three boys to take the picture you got. I would imagine them all making faces. My son is the worst about pictures.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-79264307502074030732019-10-06T20:43:30.412-04:002019-10-06T20:43:30.412-04:00What fun decor that restaurant had and what a nice...What fun decor that restaurant had and what a nice LYS you found and visited.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-69721525122833742092019-10-06T20:04:58.484-04:002019-10-06T20:04:58.484-04:00Pretty, pretty yarn you got and it looks like it i...Pretty, pretty yarn you got and it looks like it is perfect for the Doris Shawl. I'm glad you had fun with your friends and your boys are adorable (even if they're still adorably goofy). Good work on the "yarn room" progress and I get what you mean about the goal of making it into a study. Yarn does take more space than embroidery supplies which were also put to great use this week -- you're sweet to teach her and she's a cutie too.JustMagicMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869390761845578962noreply@blogger.com
